I bounced off of book 1 multiple times but just finished it last week and it is fantastic. The book just drops you in the middle of everything and largely lets you piece it together rather than give you a fresh faced character that everyone explains everything to. 50-150 pages was when I started to feel grounded and like I understood the world well enough to say I liked it.

I have a second hand surface still running windows that I draw on. With a paper like screen protector I find it quite pleasant. Mines a 6 I think, runs Krita great I imagine it'd be even better if I ditched windows bloat.

Nice! I just filled a few raised beds yesterday, I've got clay, silt, and shale in my yard. Got 2 yards of top soil, 1 yard of compost delivered for $165. Called three places for soil and it was half the price of any other shops and surprisingly clean. Hope you get good veg in yours.

On Subaru and CVTs, I hate most modern automatic transmissions due to the rough shift and indecision but the Subaru CVT ain't bad at all.

Yup, in the office we regularly hire engineers and scientists with a bachelor's, I've never seen anyone even care what tier of bachelor's. Some people go on to get licensed or a master's on the company dime but we also have lots of unlicensed never going back to school people in very technical demanding and high ranking positions.

I'm just a geologist with a bachelor's and am regularly supervising and training people with engineering PhDs. My work place quickly becomes task specific and degrees are worth less than years in the field a lot of the time, your mileage may vary.

I'm running a rog ally and the latest update has changed sleep from hit and miss to consistently good. I also bought it because the price was 1/2 of a comparable laptop(secondhand market) so handheld form factor wasn't a selling point to me.

Liked the main story well enough. Not as good as Morrowind but on par with FO3/4 and Skyrim which I grade as mediocre. Starfield does have some of my most enjoyed faction quests though.

Biggest failings to me were the repetitive POIs and half finished sub systems that while functional could have been so much better. I'm still happy with my purchase and see myself playing again over the coming years but it's understandable why so many people walked away from it.

I switched to Kobo so I could download library books directly to the reader. Purchases have worked without issue directly from the ereader and the app to echo the other response.

Not op, I'm not seeing anything about calibration for PM or VOC just stuff for open air bump tests. Interesting alternatives to filter load and PIDs I wonder if they're robust enough to find their way into EPA or OSHA level investigations, I haven't run across them yet
