Baratza Encore ESP is what you want. I have the virtuoso (non-plus) as someone else here mentioned. It technically can do espresso grind but I’ve found it doesn’t like to and seems to be prone to getting knocked out of alignment or slightly broken with lots of espresso grinding of lightly roasted beans. Nothing major and a fairly easy fix if you’re handy / can follow a youtube video / willing to buy a $3 part, but still a little annoying.

For drip or pourover it’s really good though.

I previously had a capresso infinity. I think encore esp would be worth the additional cost.

Maybe Destiny 2? The gunplay is unmatched and popping alien heads off in an explosion of alien blood or exploding robots in an explosion of robot blood is very satisfying.

Some parts are free to play too.

Looks like you already settled on this, but I’m doing exactly this (syncing obsidian, as well as photos/videos from camera reel), to desktop and NAS, using syncthing-fork. Let me know if you want some pointers.

Another thumbs up for tuta.

So, no one has mentioned any of these as far as I can tell.

The Crew Motorfest - sort of a competitor to Forza Horizon (FH is PCand Xbox only… The Crew is also on PS)… it’s an open world ish always online style game. Some say it had better physics and closer to sim than simcade when compared to FH… it worked better out of the box with my peripherals (wheel, pedals, shifter)… bonus: the prequel, The Crew 2 (which is a bit older and has a different setup) is $0.99 on basically all the platforms right now.

Dakar Desert rally - kinda rocky launch and might still be buggy… not sure on that front… but it’s kind of an ambitious game that no one else was making. Basically driving offroad through the desert from GPS waypoint to GPS way point in a huge open environment (this is called “rally raid”) in a variety of vehicles - cars, “cars” (really super trucks), big trucks (imagine racing a dump truck across the desert at whatever 120mph), motorcycles, side by side, atv. More simcade than sim in terms of driving feel. They,re not developing it anymore (in terms of new content… game breaking bugs probably get fixed) but there’s a decent amount of content there… a little context that they kinda over promised to an extent and under delivered. Victim of the recent industry-wide layoffs for sure. So it got kinda panned. Definitely not the GOAT, but maybe worth it when on sale if it sounds at all interesting to you.

Because it’s fun and I have friends I play it with.

The thing with destiny is that there are somewhat diminishing returns in terms of time invested vs in-game advancements.

The min-maxing and endless search for God rolls and the best builds can push you that extra 10% or so over the gen-pop player base who doesn’t spend 20hrs a week on the game.

But gen-pop and casual can still approach end game content without feeling like a total noob.

That said, there is still end game content that is geared towards “power users”… master nightfall, master raids, etc.

Also, as a D1 year 1 player who actually kinda gets what’s going on, story-wise, it’s great. But admittedly comprehending the story is very difficult given where they drop you in if you just started the game.

I will also applaud Bungie for making adjustments over the years. For sure it’s a lot less addictive than it used to be, and less of a grind. Or maybe its as much as a grind as you want it to be. The changes over the years have made the core game more approachable while they still held some high-level end game stuff for the die-hards. They tried to do the same with the story and it kinda works a little.

Also, for me, the raids are really great. Haven’t really experienced that sort of game play, teamwork, puzzle solving, and requirement for perseverance and gaming skill anywhere else. they’re just plain fun, especially if you have a good group to play with.

This. Will also add its like a gaming comfort blanket for me.

Oh I totally agree and yes we’re already on that path.

The solution here is probably more like no cameras spying on your employees for every second of their shift. Give them a job and let them do it or not do it.

Not necessarily, but there’s a difference between something being illegal and something being perceived by an insurance company as increasing risk. There are a lot of things that are legal and risky.

This isn’t right. Singing also counts as distracted.

Heard about this a while back. I think the real explanation is that amazon wants cameras in their vehicles to monitor their drivers. But Amazon’s insurer says “if you have this video we want to see it, and if your drivers are distracted in general, your insurance rates are going up” and/or when there’s an incident, any evidence of distracted driving will be leveraged against amazon… so instead of getting rid of the cameras, they are micromanaging their employees not to be distracted while driving, where “distracted” includes talking on the phone and also singing or speaking.

It’s all really shitty tbh.

I get that with a company as big as Amazon, small margins can make a big difference, but… pretty sure that’s just an argument against giant fucking companies running everything…

Can you provide something backing this up? I was under the impression it was at least a good jumping off point for looking at sources against the backdrop of conservative–progressive and solid journalism–blatant disinformation spectrums

Came here to suggest looking at rewasd

Yeah but without your comment I wouldn’t have posted mine!

Eh… it’s not that we’re trying to create meaning in the face of the absurd. The absurd is is the condition arising from the contrast between a human need for order and meaning on one side, and a lack of order and meaning (or lack of ability to grasp the order and meaning) on the other… and it’s this absurdity that defines the human condition. And we should embrace it.

Honestly someone who spends their whole life searching for a universal morality could very well be embracing absurdism as well.

I also feel that the positivity surrounding absurdity comes from the fact that the absurd is the struggle (roughly between a desire and search for order and meaning) and the struggle is the human condition. And once you think about the struggle-not as something to overcome or win-but as the basic defining characteristic of humanity… you start to view the whole thing positively.

Kinda, but also the core of the absurdity is the contrast between the human need for meaning and order - and the inherent inability to find and create it ultimately. And as an added flavor, this absurdity is the main definition of the human condition. It’s not exactly enjoying pseudo-meanings. It’s enjoying the absurdity.

Recommend: the myth of sisyphus by camus. I believe you can find a full pdf of it online on some university website or another.

Any multi color print is going to have waste.

Bambu labs all the way. Unless you want your hobby to become printer maintenance.

Pretty sure when I counted, the numbers were off. Not even 13 people in the supposed last supper shot.
