The only real limiting factor is my family - If headed somewhere that isn’t work related, it would only make sense that they come with me, which increases cost, so driving only.

As for flights, sure, if it’s only me. I’ve accumulated enough points with most airlines to upgrade my seating to something really nice for free.

Steam + Proton, for the most part. Lutris for Kitten Space Agency.

Vit D is one of the easier vitamins in that you have to take ridiculous amounts over a long period for it to be a problem, while really small doses once in a while can still be helpful.

1000mg daily is considered a lot and is used for treating a high/severe deficiency. Despite not being deficient to a diagnostic degree I take a pill now and then (every few days, whenever I remember) to make sure I’m not deficient, since my region doesn’t really get any sunlight this time of year. I guess it averages out to maybe 200mg daily.

All day every day. I’m a linux user both at home and at work. The only closed source software I use is Bitwig, steam, and (most of) the games I play.

When I need software that does X, and I have multiple alternatives, my order of preference for exploring goes like this:

1. Anything that can be installed via apt-get
2. Same as above, but with added repos
3. Something found on github with a release ready for download
4. Same as above, but I build it myself
5. Closed source
6. Paid closed source

(Notice how snap isn’t in the list?)

Of course, quality of the software matters, which means the list isn’t 100% accurate in all cases. Bitwig is paid closed source, but I prefer that over Ardour, and it’s IMHO miles better.

I always considered wanking to be synonymous with masturbation, penile or not.

Is wanking a gendered activity, though?

Wanker.

Anyone in this thread who’s not?

I’m at a point in life where I’ve got most things that I need, so there’s not a whole lot frivolous spending to for me to do. When time allows and I have some extra money, I get another flight lesson logged. And once in a while I order another batch of electronics from digikey. Beyond that I mostly put money into upgrading the hundred year old house I live in.

EDIT: And an obscene amount of PETG for 3D printing. But I feel that at this stage that’s almost like groceries at this point, as most of what I print is functional/useful stuff.

I blokk har man vanligvis nok nisser som naboer

That value is subjective, and that it sounds like her thinking of it as an objective metric makes her a horrible person.

Also, obligatory aside, seeing as this is the internet: I didn’t fuck your mom. Nor would I; She sounds awful.

I don’t normally complain about immigration, but at least my fellow countrymen have the decency to put out some julegrøt for nissen…

Do what I did: Introduce them to D&D

No. The signal remains the same except from the bits that control the volume

Wine. I’ve never been much of a wine person, and I prefer beer with my food, but at some restaurants and events, the food is usually paired well with a wine. Because of this I tried to actually like it, and I am now at the point where I can enjoy white wine that isn’t too sweet.

Richard Attenborough

Maybe she’s learned from Ruter or AtB how to plan her commute.

Whale oil beef-hooked!

(A newfie taught me that one eons ago)

Depends on your priorities and needs, but 75 dollars should cover most of the bill if visiting a nice-ish restaurant

Depends on area, as I do not know much about Egypt, but in most places this would be enough to be considered rich.

My local airport is exclusively serviced by DH Dash8, so it obviously doesn’t have a jet bridge.
However, my regional airport (ENGM) has all sizes, and the smaller ones have their own area at the very end of terminal A so that passengers can walk to the smaller aircraft out of one out of 6 boarding gates, across clearly marked paths on the apron, and onto the smaller aircrafts.
