    Very boring but I might have a pile of icons all over my desktop.

    I just downloaded it and a plugin to synch it in my browser. It's sleek. I'm going to figure out how to add TOTP keys into it tonight :)

    Dropbox is ending support for their password manager. I started using it because I was already paying for Dropbox. They are offering members a discount on 1password. I am going to start using KeePass instead (with major files saved inside of Dropbox).

    This is the 2nd thing that I have noticed dropbox ended this year (with Vault https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001017/dropbox-vault-will-be-discontinued/819599 in January).

    I'm obviously a little worried about the company as a whole because I don't want to find another cloud service to move my files onto.

    He said it pre trump. I'd be curious if he'd revise that stance.

    I've been on a bit of a gnocchi kick with pesto. My salmon intake is high. Steamed or fried in a pan, it's great. We picked up some fake meatballs and they're great. I'm eager to eat them again....

    We picked up some fake meatballs and they're great. I'm eager to eat them again.

    The theme of all these meals is I can prepare them really fast. I swear my eating habits are dictated by what I can create in a short amount of time.

    Every now and then I dip back into this mmo project gorgon.

    I'm working on trying to get an xp parser working to track xp earned per hour. There are so many things to progress I want to get a sense of how to min max the process. And I get to work on some programming skills.

    As someone who loves freeze dried fruit, if I had enough space to let it run quietly 24/7, I don't know if I could justify getting it. It's a neat hobby though!

    When I read about these things, I just wonder how the powers at be will just not let it happen.

    This will be viewed as an attack on the hard working Americans who supply the nation with energy, or an expensive do nothing venture, or something to be avoided since California is known for rolling blackouts, so why should the rest of the nation subsidize them?

    But the fact that we have a grid for the east coast, west coast and Texas is a major national security threat. It needs to be updated.

    Tin foil hat time: I think the concern is that an over reliance on technology from China might allow the CCP to trigger a remote 'kill switch' bricking the devices. It's very likely that he has this theory because we might have such a switch.

    They can't flat out ban them, so they just need to minimize the impact to cause no point.

    I don't think I'm the demographic for the film. I just can't help but think about those early 2000s CGI TV shows. Comedy movies don't exist anymore, but this looks like a strong comedy action film.

    I was not sure if I should have picked it up or not, because I never got really far in the first game.
    But I really like RF2. When things go your way, it feels great. An ice build with shatter is probably the easiest way to win.
