Start with HL2 on normal difficulty. Then do 2E1 and 2E2 on normal difficulty.

Then repeat all of that on hard.

Then you’ll be where I am. Never bothered with 1.

I’m talking about instant, like Maruchan

Get a fire extinguisher. Keep it in your kitchen in a designated spot.

Start small. Learn to make ramen, mac and cheese, eggs.

Get practice before you start leaving the stove unattended. Have timers. Activate the hood fan. Learn to keep an eye on things. Don’t start other activities you can’t drop in a moment (like an online game) while cooking.

When you finish something, turn it off BEFORE taking it off/out. Double check.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person

Stop. Don’t buy anything yet.

What do you mean “one portable”? Do you mean a non-OLED Switch? Do you mean a Switch Lite? Do you mean a pair of Joy-Cons? Do you mean a single Joy-Con?

My family has 3 Switches. I bought a launch system, my wife bought another of that type, gave it to our kid, then bought an OLED for herself.

So, you don’t need more Switches than the number of people (unless you’re planning to host Animal Crossing treasure islands, which, you’re probably not).

We had a Switch Lite, but it was redundant since we each had a regular/OLED, so we sold it.

Why not just start with one and go from there? Get the OLED if you’re planning to primarily play handheld, or if faster loading times are super important to you.

How do you convince the new place to let you stay?

Sometimes I want cheap, fast and delicious.

Not always, but sometimes.

Google says they’re neither, so I’ve edited the above fyi. Thanks!

“Orca whale” is a misnomer. Same with Killer whale. They are not whales. The nickname is a mistranslation of whale killer because Orcas are fish that kill whales.

I’m pretty sure the President right now is Biden, actually.

They’re trying to get liberals banned by coaxing out suggestions of terrorism

The difficulties the character in the comic faces would be somewhat alleviated in a world where policy isn’t determined by billionaires controlling the narrative.

… why?

People of all genders will continue having a bad time until we do something about the group that is hogging all of the resources/assets/freedoms, and guess what, that group is not defined by a gender. It’s defined by a dollar amount.

Oh right, the clean lines threw me off. Lunar eclipse shadows are much more diffuse.

How is the moon eclipsing the sun at midnight?

Unless you’re at one of the poles

But why would a panther be at one of the poles

I had a philosophy prof who said the title depends on the setting. If he were speaking at a conference, it’s Dr. If he was teaching at a school, it’s Professor.

If you’re in a setting where those titles aren’t relevant, don’t use them.

Not typically, but, you know, it’s happened before

There’s a “civility” rule that frowns upon accurately identifying given users as belonging to certain groups
