Usually, 2-3 double/folded sheets (so 4-6 in total). Possibly more at messier times.

Have it since 2018, currently play about 5 hrs a week.
It’s fun exercise!

So, we’re just talking Steam - that means I can keep playing Fortnite either way. And my GOG library I suppose :>

From Steam I’d pick:

• Beat Saber, it’s my sport
• Stellaris, so I can keep playing it with my SO

Also in 1993, when I just entered elementary school, I got a used Amiga 500 from my Grandpa!
He was a mason and didn’t know anything about tech or such - but he was wise enough to see that I was a very curious kid and getting into this tech stuff could be a good idea.

When I first got the Amiga, I saw it was a bit similar to the thing my Mom used to play games on (a C64 I think).
I plugged in all the stuff whatever way seemed right. When I turned everything on, the screen showed this symbol and it looked just like things I had in this box I got. I remembered the cassette tapes we had to put into my Moms device to play games, and it turns out those disks just work the same! Well, almost - you didn’t have to rewind them every time! :)

I tried many of the games, some were really complicated, some were only in English. But I had a lot of fun playing the ones I understood and messing around with the ones I didn’t.
Some of my favourite games back then were Lemmings, Wikinger 1 & 2 (from a German publisher), Deuteros (which I only managed to finish/beat many years later), MegaTraveller 2, Test Drive, Kick-Off and Battle Chess. But there were so many good ones :)

The workbench thing was also in English, but then I remembered that I also got two books! By trial and error, and with help from the books I got a hang of it. Eventually I even started writing some shell scripts (oh god, Shell was so much better than CLI) and had my first attempts at Amiga BASIC!

Grandpa claims that back then he laid the ground works for me becoming a software developer, by getting me that Amiga 500 - and he’s probably right!

There is a difference between “not putting the work in to make it run on Linux” vs. “actively preventing it to run on Linux”

Netflix DRM is an example of the latter, just like Epic disabling their Linux-support in EAC for Fortnite.

My Amiga 500 is from 1987.
But I think the stereo & LP player in the living room is from the early 70s.

I generally suck at playing shooters with controllers but I was looking forward to try the Gyro controls for Fortnite.

You can as a workaround play Fortnite on the Deck via XBox Live in a browser. But there you don’t have Gyro controls :(

Peewees is referred to kids in amateur sports between 12-13 years of age

that’s probably the missing piece of information for most ^^’

There are many VRChat world like this, and some of them quite photorealistic

Used to be addicted to only coffee but an Ireland trip introduced me to the idea of tea with milk.
Now it’s coffee during working hours, Yorkshire tea with (vanilla soy) milk otherwise.

Why?
I am addicted to coffein and really like the taste of (milky) tea
I can also justify my addiction with the various health benefits from both coffee and tea (which even complement each other a bit).

I also have some green matcha tea occasionally, or a Matcha Latte, as I find the taste of matcha rather intriguing.

So, when someone asks if you are free the next two weekends, you assume they’re talking about the next Saturday (tail weekend) and the next Sunday (front weekend)?

Hmm, interesting.
I live in a place where hot water is either from a continuous flow heater, so basically no extra circulation; or from a small under-sink water heater where the water is kept at safe temperature and the distance to the tap is near zero.

But I guess in places with these big, central hot water storage thingies what the article says makes sense.

Ich sag mal so, im Alltag ist mir jemand mit einem nerdigen T-Shirt ästhetisch ansprechender als jemand mit einem bügelglatten, geknöpften Hemd.
Ich dekoriere meine Wohnung aber auch mit Evolis und Gemälden von Indie-Künstlern. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, undso :)

Entirely depends on where you live.
In Germany, generally tap water is food safe, whether cold or hot.

But I also hear in Britain it’s often a seperate tap, as the hot water used to come from a local storage cistern where it could be contaminated.

Sadly, Fortnite doesn’t run on Linux. EAC has Linux support in general but Epic doesn’t it for Fortnite…
Was one of the first things I tried on my Steamdeck after installing HeroicLauncher. Would have been nice with the gyro.

I’m glad that works for you!

In my house we have roller shutters and they make you see nothing.
I’ve been at places without proper shutters… tried sleep masks… and they don’t fully block light nor do they stay in place after even a single turn in bed. I ended up wrapping one of my black stockings around my head like a blind fold to actually sleep. >.<’

Das hier finde ich eine gute erste Übersicht

…

It can be more confusing than you think at first, all the N/D/L stuff, some then also have 1/2/3, which “gear” to you start the car in, what to do when you come to a full stop (nothing, doh), …

The very first time I sat behind one was to drive a family friend home who drunk a bit too much, with his own car… I was a bit overwhelmed

Germany, mid 30s, all the cars I’ve owned were manual so I would say - yes :D

First time I drove a rental automatic I did an accidental hard stop at about every second crossroads as I intended to hit the clutch with my left foot and lacking one just hammered the breaks instead >.>

When driving combustion I prefer manual but I’ve recently driven some EV, I could get used to that feel :)
