Photography.
I started to really get into it back in 2015 with a Sony A6000 and a kit lens. Then you buy more, higher quality lenses. Then you buy better camera bodies with full frame sensor, then lenses that are full frame compatible. Then the various odds and end accessories. Then trips around the world to take pictures of things.
I have taken a break from photography recently, on account that having a kid doesn’t allow me a lot of opportunity to edit my photos anymore. They say the best camera you have is the one that is on you. That has proven to be true while I try to be as present as possible around my daughter. I can quickly take out my phone, capture the moment and it will take care of most of the post processing edits that I can share with family later.
So at this time there was a old wives tale that too much jacking off led to blindness. So instead of jacking off, he’s playing with a game gear.
In California, the state pays you the remainder of your time off after your company has fulfilled their initial contribution. California bases it on a 3 month average from a past point, pays you that tax free (although you do need to pay federal taxes on it).
I bought a new PC in 2021 (because building was hard due to supply shortages) and it came with GamePass Ultimate. When I combined my existing Xbox Gold subscription, it gave me something like 1.5 years worth of GamePass Ultimate, which was really great! Once that subscription expired, I had saved up for a year worth of another subscription up front, but noticed they only offered month-to-month at that point. I realized I wasn’t playing GamePass games enough to warrant the subscription (might have been different if I could install on my Steam Deck, not through a Windows install or streaming).
Once that GamePass subscription came up, and then Netflix started cracking down on password sharing that I was sharing with my sister in the next city over, it made me question a lot of recurring subscription. For streaming TV shows/movies, I think going forward we’ll have one service subscribed to but bouncing around to catch up on shows that my wife and I may want to watch. For GamePass, I’ll probably resubscribe once Starfield comes out.
This is the correct answer. It’s what led to the first argument my significant other and I had, followed shortly by Catan.
Kidney stones for me too! Mine are calcium oxalate based, so I take a supplement of magnesium citrate to help me break them down, but also drinking more water regularly. I should also lay off the salt, but that’s a hard one because it’s everywhere.
TLDR If you’re the consumer, you’re always the fucked party of a TOS.
As Robolemmy stated, you can set your mobile device to use a specific DNS server that has ad blocking built into it, that way only your device/client is affected and not the whole network. That and it travels with you when you switch to mobile data.
Right, another good option (and easier) for OP who may not have hardware laying around to leverage for a PiHole.
Have you tried setting up a PiHole on your home network? While I don’t use Voyager, most display ads do not show in the WebView for the app that I’m using to browse Lemmy due to being blocked by my PiHole.
Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun
I’m sure it was cancelled for a good reason, but man I really want more Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver lore!
