If you zoom in far enough, they’re in the comic, too.

My media player is an ancient Chromecast 4k Ultra (yes, I hate google, but I also hate buying new things) and I can’t cast from Jellyfin.

Which is a different product than Copilot/Windows+

Maybe we’ll return to the days of special boot disks to maximize hardware dedicated to the game. Just don’t make me troubleshoot IRQ ports

I bought Asheron’s Call (after a friend raved about it when I was in 7th grade) the day before we left on a family roadtrip. I brought the manual with me and fondly remember the discussions of different monster races, human networks and towns, weapons, and magic. Really set up for a great time that I might have missed if I had just installed the game and played. Those older games were pretty notorious for only showing those details in offline materials.

Surly this isn’t the first time you’ve experienced this usage?

I only have 1 box really, it’s named Hal. Seems helpful, not entirely sure if it’s on my side. Could murder me. I keep an analog shotgun next to it.

I dont have a direct answer, but can SecuROM be sandboxed in a VM?

Yep, it’s what I use, though I remember having some difficulty with the initial setup, its been very reliable since.

An author is writing to an audience, and surely you can’t be surprised that there are larger-than-desired groups of people who actually do think corporations can act morally?

I know, I was on a big anti-google crusade and Proton seemed like an easy plug-n-play for a lot of the same services. That’s OK, I’m not really an “all your eggs in one basket” kind of person anyway.

US based optometrists are licensed medical providers, credentialed to diagnose and treat eye disease, including prescriptions for controlled substances. They are sometimes covered by medical insurance. The major scope of practice difference is that optometrists generally may not perform invasive surgery (though there are a few states that do allow optometrists to perform LASIK or post-cataract surgery laser procedures).

There are plenty of optometrists who work in glasses/contact lens shops and that’s all they do. I wouldn’t trust them to treat eye medical issues, at the very least because that’s not what they commonly do all day. Larger optometry groups or optometrists that work in an ophthalmology group are more suited to disease care.

Ophthalmologists do have more training (they are medical doctors first with a 3-4 year eye specialty and sometimes a 1-2 year Fellowship training for subspecialists).

It was worth it to finally dethrone Big Taxi🙄

We’ve been conditioned by endless scrolls, for sure.

Be the change you wish you see in the world. :)

You characterize George Carlin as a simple contrarian?

It definitely stands out, maybe as our vernacular has shifted so far to hyperbole, that every statement is “slamming, blasting, annihilating”.

Are you saying I just made 5 new best friends??

We just say manager.
