Limeade is better than lemonade by a country mile.

With the caveat that both store bought limeade and lemonade are absolute trash compared to fresh squeezed.

Fresh squeezed limeade is just divine.

"This is democracy manifest!"

Oh so the Business Plot all over again, huh?

I just use a swap file.

This is what I do to alter the size

    
#Disable swap
sudo swapoff /swapfile
#Increase the file swap size
#This is for 8gb, or 8192mb, change the 8192 to whatever best suits your purposes
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=8192 oflag=append conv=notrunc
#Make the new file a swap file
sudo mkswap /swapfile
#Re-enable the swap
sudo swapon /swapfile
#Check to make sure it worked (Will be under "Swap total")
cat /proc/meminfo

  

I use Kubuntu (the horror!) so my commands are Debian-oriented. You may need to do it differently if you use Arch or something. Also mind that the bit oflag=append conv=notrunc appends to the original swapfile, I hardly know how to use dd, so I'm not sure of the flags for not appending.

Web browsers are notorious RAM hogs as it is, add several tabs with Matrix clients and yeah, that's probably where a fair amount of it is getting used up.

I suggest either having about half the amount of RAM you have for swap, and if you can spare it on your drive, the whole amount. In other words, if you have 16gb of RAM anywhere from 8gb-16gb if you can spare it. If you have less than 16gb, yeah, you're gonna want to open up as much swap as you can reasonably afford to on your drive.

I have two 1tb NVMes plus two other SSDs, so 16gb is a drop in the bucket for me. It may not be for you and your setup! Always do what makes the most sense within your personal limitations.

I have 32 gb of RAM but occasionally I run VMs in VMware for learning and experimentation. For good performance, I have about 16gb of swap on my NVMe so I can give a VM up to 8gb of RAM without quality degradation.

For a daily driver that's for gaming and web browsing, if you have 16gb of ram, you probably shouldn't have to alter your swap really.

Sometimes you just cant beat the classics.

I'm not against different relationship arrangements and it's often argued that you shouldn't dump all your emotional needs on one person.

However... That being said the more people you add to the mix the more complex and more emotional energy you have to dictate to the situation. A lot of people are genuinely not ready for such a thing even if they think they are. Because while you might have mor emotional needs met, you're also faced with higher emotional and social demands from your partners. Some people don't seem to understand that you can't avoid giving more of your emotional self to others when you give it to more than one person. In my experience, some of the people pursuing these kind of relationships are actually seeking less personal emotional investment, and I think that grossly misunderstands the situation and is a bit selfish, at best.

I think these situations can be healthy, but I also think healthy ones are more rare, just like healthy traditional relationships are often rare.

Finally, I am not shocked at people opening up to the idea of throuples when two parents can barely afford to raise a child. Three incomes starts to take the weight of the financial cost off just a little. Not a lot, but a little.

Honk.

It's not as though that power structure behind the economic system is leveraged to dismantle and destroy competing economic systems or labor rights or anything. Yeah, totally and completely separate and never the twain shall meet. The CIA definitely didn't use economic terrorism to force countries to submit to US cartels business demands.

Nothing has ever happened, like say, the US corporations using their wealth to dominate the court systems and laws of other counties to do something like put media "pirates" calling themselves "The Pirate Bay" in prison for things that were legal in their own country to enforce the US's own draconian capitalistic IP laws.

What an absolute crock of shit dude get a grip. Capitalism is oligarchy by any other name.

Violent crime has been consistently been dropping for decades. In certain areas petty crime has risen.

Times are getting tough, I expect petty crime like shoplifting food to increase.

Compassion for the vulnerable and weak.

We show it. We show all of it. Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action movies these days guys? …Full penetration.

I wish we could get more Bee & Puppycat, I love it so much.

Great video and what's really fucked is that this past is the past half the USA wants us to return to. Where everyone is dreading their dreary repetitive factory job and hoping for a better future for their children so they children don't have to suffer the same drudgery.

Maybe some fucking MAGA twerps need to watch this.

I quit smoking cigarettes when the indoor smoking ban took effect 20 years ago in Washington state. I could no longer spend all night at a diner drinking coffee, smoking, and reading so it seemed like a good time to quit.

My budget has been a lot tighter due to having cancer, and so I more recently gave up vaping marijuana. I had been smoking marijuana since my teens and had switched to vaping it about 10 years ago for the sake of my lungs. The biggest difference in breathing quality was definitely the switch from smoking to vaping, I haven't noticed as much of a big difference since I quit vaping.

Either I don't have strong addictive tendencies or I don't know because I quit both cigarettes and marijuana cold turkey pretty easily. I struggled with sleep for a while after quitting marijuana, but that eventually passed after about a month and a half. I struggle with sleep anyway, and always have, so it wasn't that huge of a change.

Underrated because the game itself was often kind of lacking in terms of solid foundational RPG systems...

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Pretty good attempt at putting a Middle Earth type world ahead a few hundred years in the midst of an Industrial Revolution.

Really thoughtful stuff like the labor exploitation of certain races like orcs, with quests like a half-orc you can help start a labor union or help the shop boss shut down the nascent union.

Twice now I have tried to make a top level comment and accidentally responded to a thread instead... Anyway...

Instead of leaving this deleted I will agree wholeheartedly that while I personally am not the biggest fan of the TES series they have some of the most deep, complex and (somewhat) organized lore there is.

I just wish they would hire better script writers and weren't so afraid of locking content behind player choices. Always having every option available just feels a little silly.

Wait Raft has lore and world building?? I love that game but I never even paid that close attention. Guess I need to go look now.

Shocked, Shocked

Well, not that shocked.
