Never went to work in a snowstorm? Or heavy rain?

I'm not OP, but my wife and I share locations, it's endlessly convenient for coordinating. Never abused.

Been sharing with select friends and family for years now, zero issues. And if we did have an issue? I'm turning it off for you 🤷‍♂️ pretty simple. Frequently extremely convenient.

A friend of a friend of mine is sharing with a friend of theirs. And it's a crap show like you said, coming over, inviting themselves to events, why were you there, etc. Everything you said. And it's still a problem, to the point where they leave their phone at home if they are doing anything sensitive, because they are afraid of hurting the person's feelings by turning it off 🙄

I think the key is having a backbone, and also not having crap friends 🤷‍♂️

Same. For this to be a problem, you must first have other problems.

Stargate Universe. Still hurts.

It was such a good show, and such a huge cliffhanger, and it hurt so much.... That for awhile it literally stopped me from watching any show that wasn't already concluded with a guaranteed ending.

Heck, my friends tried to get me to watch Firefly for YEARS, and I was like heck no. They killed it before its time.

These days I'm better. Watched Firefly, it was awesome, and worth it, but belongs here too. At least it got a movie to wrap it up.

Funny enough, they just cancelled another show I like, Resident Alien, and the posts are right next to each other:

Hijacking top comment to add this relevant information:

I like to put egg in microwave ramen sometimes. But you have to swirl it a bit first and break the yolk.

I used to just plop one or two eggs directly into the bowl with the ramen, and microwave it all at once. But this happened to me, thankfully it did it inside the microwave. But I was at work, it was very loud, and soup was dripping out of the door.

Not fun.

My search shows it's at least as old as 2017

And a reverse image search shows the picture of at least as old as 2017

Edit: still not enough ram. 4gb, maybe, at a minimum, for this type of thing. Even Linux has it's limits if you're trying to get anything done in reasonable time on the modern web

Oh you're right! I thought this was new. But, at least as old as 2017, at least from my search.

But yes, way too tech lingo.

I don't know any of the law for sure, but isn't that a different argument entirely?

In one case, an EU resident buys a product in the EU, decides to use it while in the US for a week/month whatever. The argument is that he's protected.

You're saying that's not true, because if he buys it in the USA, then he's not protected.

But, that wasn't the argument, was it? It's different?

I made a penny stove first, and man that thing burns hot! Big big flames haha. Maybe I did it wrong.

This one is way more contained, and some people claim more fuel efficient 🤷‍♂️ I have no idea haha

Thanks for the reminder. No such rules here in Michigan, that I'm aware of. Obviously you gotta be smart when it's dry out, maybe use butane instead at those times.

Neat!

Those vargo stoves do look cool, you have the triad?

That's what I like about the cat, it's so light, and you can put a pot right on it. Seems like the vargo stoves are the same way?

I'll probably play with these ones for awhile before spending any actual money on a nice one. To make sure I like it

Couldn't agree more. The Jetboil style stove I usually use has its place. But I'm gonna try switching to alcohol, where permitted.

Thanks! Though I worry this is immediately out of my wheelhouse haha. I may stick to the can, for simplicity sake. We'll see

If you can't find an original adapter, I can confirm this one works. Most of the other ones I had laying around wouldn't work. I had to search for this one. It was only $15 when I got it in January 2025, not sure why it's $25 now

Nice! Care to share your biscuit recipe? I'm not sure I'm ready to give up the can, but it's on my list of things to try

That's fair. The box that held all my wiiu stuff was mysteriously missing the pad charger. I think I used a dock before too? At any rate, I didn't want another charger laying around. I've got four 6 foot USBC cables coming out of a pair of chargers under my couch that I use for everything. It only made sense to change it over 🤷‍♂️

So far it works great. Though I about to not using very often, I've got an actual steam deck, and recently got a better laptop, so I primarily use those 🤷‍♂️

If someone wants to buy it for whatever the going rate of an unmodded wiiu is, I'm game. My ADHD enjoyed the process of modding it, now is back in a box lol

Biscuits and gravy.

My friends and I try to get together once every year in a big Airbnb, where we basically just hang out all weekend or a most of a week if we can. We all take turns cooking meals for everyone. Only breakfast and dinner, lunch is a free for all. I always get breakfast for day one. It's always biscuits and gravy.

The biscuits come from a can, they were put there by a man, in a factory downtown.

But the gravy is homemade. Use a giant pot, put a few pounds of spicy ground sausage in the bottom and brown it up. Leave the grease in, lower the heat, add an amount of flour and stir it in for a few minutes to cook it and make a sort of roux. Then slowly add almost a gallon of whole milk, depending on how much sausage and therefore flour you used.

Stir it very often, gently scrape the bottom, but not aggressively, because you likely burned a little flour on there during the roux phase, too much meat to handle, I haven't solved this yet. But it'll be ok.

Once it's good and hot, almost simmering, kill the heat, let it cool a minute or two, then serve on the biscuits. The consistency should be somewhat thick, like, well, thick gravy. Not watery. When it gets cold in the fridge, you can scoop it out and it holds its shape.

It's so unhealthy, but people love it. It makes a great breakfast for 10-15 people. Sometimes I'll do a big pan of eggs simultaneously to go with it. There's always leftovers of the gravy, but it goes on anything and reheats easily, so it gets eaten over the next few days when random people are randomly hungry. It never gets thrown out.

I've tried offering to make other dishes, do dinner instead, or do a different breakfast food. But everyone always begs for the biscuits and gravy. So I oblige.

We do usually end up with a second meal, depending on how many people can make it, so I'll help my wife with whatever she decides to make for dinner.

Hey neat! I did the same thing a few months ago! Not sure how to link things on here.

Did you also swap the charger for USB C?

Edit: This is the streaming post. And this is the USB C mod.

I'm constantly trying to touch the screen on my work provided laptop, and my FW13. I spent a long time with a fancy Chromebook for my couch computing needs, when away from the desktop.
