Can you share the pattern? I’ve never done this, but would like to try and this is sweet!

Despite his appearance and delivery, i always thought Norm was the most “punk rock” comedian. He actually stood for something, stood by his friends and was true to himself. I did not always agree with his bits… But i never thought he was outright hateful. I think he tried to touch on the humorous or more absurd elements of society, with his commentary. Which was mostly the stuff i liked least… However, i believe that while Norm may not have understood some of these things, he wasn’t intolerant of them.

Norm was about as big of an anti-celebrity, celebrity as i can think of. He always seemed eager to be silly and to laugh, and to love his small group of friends. I’m fairly cemented as being left of center, and i adored Norm.

Wow this looks terrible

Check out “project farm” on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.

Its nuts that during the Obama admin, all anyone cared about was the threat of zero privacy. Now everyone in the US has surrendered to it, because our politicians have sold our digital privacy rights to the tech companies.

It is incredible the amount of turbulence that has stemmed from one man, and the amount of blind devotion his followers express.

It makes sense to me! Thanks for the explanation!

Why have you decided to stop with an annual? I kinda considered it, then was like “well, its just another annual vax, why would i get one but not the other?” My mom also said she was ok not getting another one… then she got it about a month ago, and said that changed her mind. She was miserable with it, and would not miss one going forward. lol. I guess I am kind of landing on the idea of if it gives me a boost in fighting it off, if i contract it… i am good with gettin the jab.

In case any of this looks like I am arguing with your decision, I am definitely not!!!

Conservatives everywhere are up in arms that THEY had to pay their loans, but the corpses dont have to. “nobody wants to work” they collectively mutter.

From all I have read, he is far overpaid and far underperforming… so good riddance to bad rubbish. However, I suspect it is harder now, more than ever, to draw students here, regardless of the leadership.

Early Access

Eastern US, West Virginia to be precise.

I dont think anything is necessary, other than upgrading your storage. I considered an SD card, and decided the price break was just better overall for an ssd. I got a western digital 512 for like 55 bucks I think.

The hardest part of the swap was getting the case apart. I did watch a couple of videos for tips before I did it though… it made it pretty painless. the biggest pro tip was to start the separation of the case by one of the trigger buttons, and just run a credit card along it to pop the tabs. Another suggestion is if you dont have a set of tiny screwdrivers, i would recommend getting a cheapo kit. I had one I made due with, but even it was slightly too big for the task.

Like I said, I would watch a couple of vids so you know what to do as you proceed, how to flash the new ssd with the os, etc. It really isnt that hard. I am not too terribly of a tech savvy person and was able to do it.

I just got the bottom dollar deck, and it came with a case btw. I bought a cheap dock off of Aliexpress and it works fine. I think I paid under $25 for it… i am certain you could probably get the same one on amazon for ~the same price. I definitely wouldnt buy the valve dock. If you dont have a controller, the world is your oyster. I bought a cheapo $30 bitdo.

I think the brand of screen protector I bought was Ivoler, and it was a very easy install… it came with a “frame” to square the glass install.

Good luck, i have been enjoying mine.

I appreciate the effort you put into this community!

Thanks everyone for their responses! I eventually pulled the trigger on a $29 8bitdo wired/wireless controller!

I was looking at this game, and it was what literally made me pull the trigger on a steamdeck… It should be arriving today, and i hope to have the ssd swapped, reimaged, and get that installed so i can play some this evening!

Ill be getting mine later this week, and that screw issue is not what i wanted to hear.

This might sound crazy, but i am just using the website via Firefox on my phone. Jerboa wasnt doing it for me, and someone recommended just using the website… I prefer it over jerboa. I imagine with all the development going on, there will be something better showing up, but until it does, I’m just going old school.

Not at all current… But i dusted off a retro-pi i made a few years back over the weekend, and started playing Super Metroid. This game is pretty damn old, and a masterpiece of design… I cannot get over how well they nailed the music, stylized graphics, and overall “sense of place”… It is a fine fine game.

There is a great YT channel called “History For Granite” that discusses the pyramids. His (and many others)posit that Zahwi Hawas, who is (or was) the director of antiquities in Egpyt, is a roadblock to many studies because they may differ with theories that he has backed. Bascially the guy has extreme bias.

There is technology that can use existing alterations that have been made to the pyramid (drilled holes) to explore the void you are speaking of… but Hawas wont allow it. He has denounced valid research as quack science, even when it has been vetted by other researchers… again due to his personal bias.

While I agree somewhat with the supposition that Egypts ancient history was plundered by the west… Hawas, from what I can tell, just basically blocks research for no real reason, other than he doesnt want it to happen.

I am sure there is more nuance to the situation than this… but this is what Ihave put together… However, I am about as far away as i can get from being a scholar on the topic.
