Well yes it needs to be inaugurated first, which will not happen until January.

I interpreted "it" in the post title as referring to Linux. Firefox is "just a browser," but Linux is not.

Good to know you can just nope the PSN login. I haaaate games requiring accounts for single-player experiences, but if you can just say no, I don't resent them asking as much.

It's not ideal to need a launcher

So... I guess GoG is ideal then, because you don't need a launcher for GoG games. You download the installers and boot up the game directly. I often get Steam to launch them instead, for the controller support. The GoG launcher is strictly optional.

Playing Diplomacy I'm pretty sure violates the Geneva convention.

Mine is not a Tesla, and its range is exaggerated... Or at least its range has a hidden asterisk that would read "under ideal conditions with a gentle driving style." It self-adjusts based on my recent driving history, and I mostly don't let the battery get low enough that I have to care about how precise it is... But it definitely skews heavily optimistic, especially when I first bought the car. It's roughly the same in that regard as a Tesla is, according to the Tesla drivers I know.

Whoa really? How did you figure it out? I'd love to do that with my car, even if it's a pain.

Can we sync on that real quick? I think we can ideate on some quick wins for your allergy that'll get you unblocked.

That also sounds like a good option. Wouldn't really make sense for this guy cause he's not on a bike, he's on one of those electric unicycle things... But I'm glad it works for you.

I mean if he seemed to think that that meant he was allowed to blast past people and they were obligated to move out of his way, then yeah that'd be pretty selfish... But when I've encountered him he's been otherwise reasonably considerate. The music isn't even really that loud, you probably only hear it from like 20-30m away.

There's a guy in my area that does that... He told me one day that it's to help give people and animals a heads-up that he's coming, which is helpful when overtaking people from behind, or around blind corners.

Sounded like an excuse at first, but it actually did help some of the time when I saw him after that. I have begrudgingly changed my mind about it.

I wanna slay like this forever

I'm planning to open a new chequing account in the near future, and I'm contemplating bailing on RBC. I've been with them for a very long time, and one possible outcome is that I'll just open a new RBC account and be done with it. That'd be... fine.

But for a variety of reasons (including my satisfaction with RBC trending steadily downward), I'm thinking about opening this new account elsewhere. I don't have a ton of hard requirements, and I'm not really sure what to look for in a bank, but the following would be nice:

  • Good online banking experience, particularly desktop (RBC is shockingly bad at this)
  • Good credit card; easy to make payments from the new account
  • Minimal fees
  • Easy e-transfers
  • Real security (another thing RBC is terrible at)
  • Neat rewards would be cool
  • Low-fee, low-friction investing would also be cool-- I don't really do much investing, but I'd like to be able to

Any suggestions would be great, including anti-suggestions if you happen to know of a bank that I should avoid.
