I'm looking for games that have a role like "watch the cameras and warn the people inside the house about things going on" that Phasmophobia offers. My wife enjoys playing that sort of role, she doesn't want to go inside the house/school/prison. The new media changes are great for her.

Are there any other games out there that have a sort of overseer role like that?

YYYYMMDD is the only correct answer.

A+ for setting, but set needs some work

All new cars have the same problems. Mediocre interiors for the price, spyware, and rent seeking behavior for stuff like automated highway driving.

100%. It sucks, the prices are insane. Ours was insane. And those issues apply to all new cars, regardless of fuel.

We have a Hyundai Ioniq 6, about 18 months now. It has a touchscreen like all EVs (I know, there's a truck) but it still has a lot of physical buttons, unlike a Tesla which has gone way too far with the screen. We tried the Mustang and liked it, but liked this better, plus my wife wanted a sedan.

Biggest pro is it's not a Tesla. Also, I get home, plug it in, and go inside. Takes five seconds, and five more to unplug it. Plus, it's not a Tesla. Way less time than it takes at the gas station to fill my truck. It's also fast, a lot of fun to drive, and finally, it's not a Tesla.

Con would be road-tripping. If I was doing a ton of that, I'd be perhaps looking for an EREV of some sort, although 20-80% in 20 min isn't exactly horrible. Charger is CCS, but sometime this month Hyundai is sending me an NACS adapter, so no more issues there - we did have one time where we had to wait for CCS when a NACS was open, but not exactly a massive issue. The new models are NACS.

Forgot to mention, in US, range about 300 miles or so, and there was a sensor issue that ended up with a harness replacement that didn't cost me anything under warranty, but had an estimate of $8500.

I generally take one around 5-6 in the evening precisely because of that, if I wait until 8-9 I tend to be drowsy as well in the morning. A lot less though, usually no more than 10mg.

I tried one of these once, it was ok but seems really expensive. It was I think $4 for a can, 10mg. Serious question - why is this better than a 10mg edible (the ones I like and get regularly are 100mg for about $15-18) and a mocktail or soda or whatever? Not a sarcastic question, I'm really wondering what I'm missing? In all fairness I've only tried one.

We chose to do a little bit of "buying ahead." Where I would buy one pack of TP, I bought a second one, and when we use the first I'll get another. Nothing we're not going to use within a few months anyway, not looking to build a TP throne but just a bit of cushion. We were already mostly doing this anyway since covid because it seems like there's random shortages here and there that didn't happen prior, or at least not enough to notice.

Really, nothing beyond what I'd want to have for a natural disaster where we're on our own for a few days. Trying to be prudent without being a weirdo.

Village idiot

That's exactly what we got, an I6. Love it.

We bought a Hyundai EV. Would have seriously considered a Tesla, but.

Good. Stop using our groundwater to grow cattle food for other countries, assholes.

I know the argument constantly rages - too left! Too centrist! and I don't know which one would be more effective.

On the other hand, the closest we've come to a real left candidate at least in my lifetime was Sanders and the thumb on the scale against him was pretty corporate blue - and the mainstream lost, so maybe we should try it the other way?

 

I've recently started using signal and getting some of my contacts switched. I have a signal contact that's in my iPhone contact list, but isn't linked and I can't find any way to get that link created. He's tried toggling the privacy->phone number options on and off, the "who can see" and "who can find me", with no luck.

One possible clue - my first signal connection to this contact was in a group chat, I texted the link and he joined signal that way. No idea if relevant.

Any thoughts?

 

I've made the jump to Mint for my gaming PC. I work primarily on Ubuntu systems (cli, no gui) so it was a pretty simple choice. I installed GE proton, which fixed the lobby audio bug in phasmophobia, is there any reason I shouldn't just use that version of proton for all steam games?

One other question, evolution looks pretty solid for mail, any reason I should look elsewhere?
