I’ll push back on the nonstick pans. Steel pans get you much better sears, are easier to take care of, and last way longer than non-sticks. Even expensive non-sticks will require you to use spatulas made of a soft material and will only last a couple months to a handful of years before the teflon flakes off.

Personally I would save up a bit and get a 9inch, a 12-14inch (depending on hob sizes), and a bigger sauce pan. Would definitely run more expensive than 100 quid but will last much longer.

Plus, you can go as hard as you want in terms of musical proficiency. You can look up chord charts, learn how to read tabs, or learn how to read sheets.

Though it should be said, guitar is tough starting out. It will make your fingertips sore and your hand cramp. It will take hours of practice to get stuff halfway decent, even things that seem simple. There’s always something to improve at or learn. And no matter how much you practice you’ll always hear imperfections.

It’s a hell of a time commitment (and it can be a money sink) but it is very fun.

Alone: Rimworld, WH40k Rogue Trader

Multiplayer: ArmA Reforger (just found a group who’s pretty chill, haven’t vetted them for politics yet though), SCP 5k, Peak

Yeah, that one

That Tom Hanks movie where he’s stranded on an island after a plane crash when I was 6.

I saw it a day before taking my first plane ride and going over sea.

Oh yeah, probably my favourite squad mod. A little hard to believe that people will do that kind of quality work for free and consistently update it when any patch can and will invariably fuck mods up.

Same. ArmA, Squad, and eventually 83 will be more than enough until bf6 is dirt cheap.

Another crab’s treasure. It plays like a soulslike but it’s designed like a Rare n64 game in all the good ways.

This. And in case of no job, spite. It’s carried me through a lot.

Wasn’t here back when it happened, but from what I know, it was straight up white supremacy shit. It got defed to death.

They used to be better. Or at least, the thermos were. I got a modern stanley thermos, from 2020. Holds temp fairly well, but not great. Hot coffee brewed fresh in the morning turns lukewarm by night. Ice cold water turns room temp in a day (no idea why that is).

A girl I used to date still had her father’s stanley thermos from the 70s-80s. That fucker could hold temp for ages. Apparently the company got bought out, and replaced the graphite lining with air. Or something like that.

Still, miles better than anything I can get locally.

Word of warning: the game is jank personified, but once you get past the animations, visuals, and weird storytelling, it has a lot of charm. It does quite a lot differently to other RPGs and survival games, and because of that, it has a hell of a learning curve.

Playing it makes me remember how I felt when I played Morrowind, for some reason. Not because it is the same caliber of game though, that much is for certain.

Have you tried Outward? It is built with co-op in mind. The solo and coop experience is exactly the same, maybe a bit tougher solo.

He’ll have to get tough or die

Also, truestuhl.

Ah, well, interesting. Thanks for clarifying.

Don’t use paper filters, but I’d assume to avoid channeling in the coffee grounds. Water will always go through the path of least resistance, maybe by having the entire filter wet you lessens the chances of overextracing some parts of the grounds and underextracting others.

I did read that some people do it to remove paper taste, but that seems a little weird. Edit: i was wrong.

Have to pitch it. DD:DA is what if you had Monster Hunter, added magic classes that feel great, and set it in a high fantasy setting. It takes some cues from jrpgs and feels less western than any soulsborne game, but still.

Eat fries first, main dish later, always. Good reason though: usually the main dish holds heat much longer than fries do, and it probably won’t get as gross as fries do.

Cold fries are tasteless and soggy. A warm burger is still good.

Haven’t finished brothers Karamazov, but I can comment a little as a former opus dei catholic, now agnostic. According to opus dei theology, every human is born with a built in moral code called Natural Law. This law is perfect, coming from the g man himself, and is the precursor to human laws, which are imperfect after being corrupted by people. Natural law kinda enforces being virtuous, as in the christian idea of virtues (chastity, humility, temperance, etc), as any act that isn’t virtuous is sinful to a degree (here’s where venial and deadly sins come into play, and they mostly rely on the person’s understanding of morality and some arbitrary points). That’s a very simplified rundown, and I might’ve gotten some details wrong, been some years.

Personally I don’t put any stock on any of that. Natural Law by itself is a fine idea, but only because it makes sense. Of course you’ll want to take care of your own and try to make their lives better.
