Since you mentioned it cold brew coffee is less acidic vs hot coffee and I think(?) less than hot tea as well.
OTOH cold brewed tea probably edges out all of them in terms of low acidity.
Not too sure if you meant hot or cold tea, just adding some extra info :) For me cold brew coffee is way, way easier to drink and it’s become my daily go-to.
Shake Shack’s Shroom Burger is by far the best non-meat burger I’ve had. I’m not even a big fan of mushrooms but Shake Shack manages to turn that portobello mushroom into deliciousness.
404 Media seems to fit your description.
They are a legitimate crypto exchange.
Pretty sure they do ID verification depending on residency but you’d need to check their site for specifics.
Issue is that I need a Paypal account, for which I need a phone number and bank account from the same country. I have Canadian bank stuff, but no Canadian phone number.
I’m in Lebanon
That won’t go well for you long term, Paypal will eventually catch on and permaban you. You’ll also lose whatever funds were in the account during that time.
If you still go through with it I suspect you’ll need to figure out how to buy a non-virtual phone number, just seems like a waste of time since Paypal will eventually add it to their permaban/fraud database.
John Robbins would have inherited Baskin-Robbins (he was the co-founder’s son). Grew up quite well off and could have been wealthy through the rest of his life but he chose to walk away from the company due to all the industrialized factory farming and general animal cruelty surrounding the dairy industry. Back then ice cream was all dairy products.
Eventually Baskin-Robbins itself was sold to a multi-national corp & was then sold/acquired a few more times.

You could use a site like wunderground.com to get an idea of what the weather has been like around that time prior years.

For what it’s worth last few years it’s been chilly but kind of on the warmer side. NYC area hasn’t been hit with a huge amount of snow the last few years either, feels like we only get a few days of snow maybe in January/February nowadays.
I was given a dunkin giftcard
Dunkin gift cards expire? That’s news to me, it’s been a while since I’ve encountered expiring gift cards. Not sure that’s even legal but maybe they expire in your particular state?
To answer your main question I buy gift cards with discounts/cash back all the time. It basically makes them cheaper than using cash. For example my credit card has 5% cash back for grocery stores so that gives me 5% cash back on gift cards purchased there.
Also a lot of credit card and stores do gift card sales where they’ll do 10%-20% discount, or throw in a free gift card with a purchase.
For what it’s worth urgent care will definitely tell you to go to the hospital ER if they deem it more emergency related. And of course they’ll still bill you for coming in there to ask them :P
In other words urgent care is not emergency care, if that makes sense.
Steam link for those interested https://store.steampowered.com/app/2332240/Beyond_Shadowgate
I’m also on that Kickstarter, really happy this one is nearing release. Now wondering if I should be doing a play through of the original Shadowgate before jumping into this one.
All the MacVenture games were awesome (Deja Vu and Uninvited are up there too), don’t worry you’ll get a few upvotes from others that used to play these games :)
For me it was fine, maybe about 15 years ago. Small startup company I was at ran out of funding, we got something like 1-2 months severance. We all got along fine so it wasn’t like everyone hated the job or the owners, sometimes startup companies just don’t make it through those first few years.
Summer is probably the best time to be unemployed, spent a lot of time exploring my neighborhood during the weekday afternoons and was practicing making cold brew & other summer drinks LOL.
Was doing freelance work while being on unemployment / looking for a new steady job. Think it was about 4-5 months before I landed a new job (did get 1-2 job offers during that time but was maybe being a bit picky & turned them down).
… Also helps that I keep savings so short term unemployment won’t wreck me. I’ve seen posts about people being out of work for years, that would be a far worse scenario.
When you carry it by the handle it’s so long that it may scratch the ground
Always assumed that’s a short person problem. Source: Am short, same thing happens to me.
Maybe there’s a better way to deal with that but what I usually do is add a knot to each handle so the handles are shorter, that way the bags are higher from the ground.
That’s when using re-usable grocery bags/totes with long handles.
Agreed, though I’ve found that usually dousing a fly in water (via spray bottle) is enough to surprise them & get them to drop. Once they’ve fallen it takes them a bit to dry themselves & get airborne again, that’s usually enough time to swat it and finish the job.
That works well if you just have one or a few flies - if you’ve got a ton of them fly paper is going to work much better.
Yup agree with you there, Tabasco sauces are great. Not sure that I’d call their Sriracha an actual alternative vs the original Sriracha sauce but aside from that there’s nothing wrong with their version.
I do like that they didn’t add a ton of extra ingredients to their version, simple ingredient list = better IMO.
If any of my nearby supermarkets carried it I’d definitely give this one a go. Not sure that I want to commit to buying multiple bottles online.
Maybe not the Tabasco Sriracha if you’re looking for that Sriracha flavor. It’s not bad at all but it basically tastes like Sriracha flavored Tabasco sauce. That could be a good thing, there are a ton of Tabasco sauce devotees out there, just don’t expect it to taste like a proper Sriracha sauce.
A lot of these alternative Sriracha brands seem to have a ton of extra ingredients vs the original which puts me off from buying them.
Same here, back in the 90’s had multiple year’s worth of Nintendo Power magazines & later on Game Pro as well. I do remember seeing Game Informer around & sometimes bought those issues but never really got into them. I can’t even think of any friends that had Game Informer magazines back in those days.
TBH I’m kind of surprised at those numbers /u/GammaGames@beehaw.org posted, maybe Game Informer was a bigger thing outside of the northeast U.S. where I was.
Windows has its default Remote Desktop Connection that uses RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), once enabled it will listen on port 3389. It is pretty solid and has a few features beyond VNC. Just be careful, you probably don’t want to open that port onto the internet since every port scanner is scanning that port & looking for unpatched Windows vulnerabilities or insecure user/password logins.
I use RDP myself for my Windows system but I need to SSH into my network before using it, so it’s really RDP over SSH. If you’re not going to go through all that at the very least change the port to something else so it doesn’t get port scanned to death.
… TBH if you’re not too sure about how to secure this stuff maybe Chrome Remote Desktop is the best option, at least it’s secured behind your own Google account (hopefully that itself is secure and you have 2FA enabled).
RDP is kind of limited
It’s useful if you only need to do stuff while you’re actively connected but you can’t, for example, remote in and start an app or process going and then disconnect and have that app continue.
Sure you can, I do this all the time on the work RDP server. Maybe you need to tweak your group policy so it doesn’t kick you out right away.
When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out.
Nope, depends on what group policy you configured. If you’ve never configured that before as a starter launch gpedit.msc (with admin privileges) and head to Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Session Time Limits. The other settings in there are also useful for other things you may want to configure.
Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.
Yes this is true, the only way to do that is to have admin privileges on the host and then take over that user session. But of course that’s not collaboration, that’s just you taking a user’s current session without them being able to see what you’re doing.
On Windows the official way to do that is via Quick Assist (on Windows 10, not sure if it got renamed on Windows 11), it’s sort of a shared RDP session where both the user and the remote user can share the same session. I’ve never needed to use it myself - with the work system users are pretty content with just having me “fix” whatever they needed without them watching, they usually don’t care how to fix the problem themselves LOL.
If they’ve been dead for a while then the body is going to be quite decayed so that unfortunate person would end up dying again immediately.
Unless you’re suggesting this thing that came to life is no longer human. So in that case decayed body/flesh, missing organs/bodyparts, etc. no longer prevent it from “life”. But I’d argue that isn’t a human coming back to life, more like a corpse transforming into something else.
