Mine is the chain style. I cannot compare as I have never used the braided wire and I don’t have to think about weight savings that much. I don’t generally hike far to a camping spot.

Instead of a curved folding saw I prefer a rope saw. I’ve always been able to take down limbs and trees faster.

For those that don’t know what that is, imagine a chainsaw chain with handles on either end.

A buddy of mine dated a girl in high school that had the feminine version of his name and they had the same last name (no relation, but we gave him shit anyway).

I’m sad we gave him so much shit because that was the coolest person he dated over the next two decades. He agrees that she should have been his first wife and he should have hyphenated his last name.

My reaction was “not my dick, not my problem”.

TL;DR: yep

I use steam remote play. I’ve got a mini pc in my garage, another in my living room, and a third in my bedroom. There’s CAT 6 between my office and bedroom but the rest is wireless.

I spent more than I had to because I wanted all of them to be able to play less intense games like Hollow Knight and some emulation locally so if I have family and friends over we can have 3 games going at a time.

It’s one of the few PC tinkering projects I’ve taken on outside of work in the last several years because I’ve grown to mostly hate it. But this was super satisfying because I ended up with something that I could enjoy alone and with family.

I beat Shadow of the Erdtree on the one in the living room so it can’t be too terrible. I probably wouldn’t advise it for anyone wanting to play competitively but for casual gamers, couch co-op, RPGs, or friendly online games I can highly recommend this kind of setup.

That would be a great reply:

“What time did you get in? I didn’t see you at all for the 13 hours I was there. Did you just show up to take a picture?”

I have no problem with the concept. I just don’t like the execution. Grill up those weiners and get some color on them. Use a homemade baked mac and cheese or fried mac and cheese balls. Put it on a brioche or potato long roll. Toast the long roll. Add a splash of color with chopped parsley or something.

I did this briefly years ago for a hotel chain (the booking, not the stealing). We got an extra quarter for everyone we transferred to another department for deals or some shit. We were supposed to ask people if they would like to hear about it but I found out that as long as it transferred they could immediately hang up and I still got my bonus. After that every caller I had got transferred to the other department for the rest of the time I worked there.

I made an extra few hundred bucks and got canned about the same time I found a job in my field. No FBI involved, though.

I always wondered about FtM DIY because of that. I know there are bodybuilder sites and overseas sites for it and generally people aren’t getting prosecuted for having it. It just seems like something they’ll start prosecuting in order to get to trans folks.

Too busy being happy and confident to eat.

Seconded. This is an excerpt from a comment I made the other day about it:

If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don’t exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.

Entities from other realities are listening and waiting for our computers to summon them.

I’m making this comment from a magical device that sends bottled lightning though rocks inscribed with very exact runes in order to display information from people all over the world.

I guess it’s slightly better than the old “Horse and Sparrow” name which implies “Eat shit and like it”.

I’m that friend, except I’ll preface it with “You know I like a lot of garbage movies, but…”

brought back prohibition

Don’t even joke about that.

Hell, it worked for the American Assholes caucus or whatever the House MAGAs are calling themselves.

Abbott said he wouldn’t stand for any Democrat policies around here.

The vast majority.

The vast majority of people HERE. You’re leaving out a key word.

And for Ukraine and Gaza. So all those folks saying Kamala didn’t have a hard enough stance should be thrilled right now.
