    It’s not turn based but Old School RuneScape can be as afk / secondary monitor as you want. Pretty sure like half of the people afk during work on that game. I even did some afk training today...

    My 14 pro max is still 100% battery health as well, got it a few weeks after launch. Pretty much always charged it with MagSafe as well. Best battery life by far and much better than my XS Max...

    Best battery life by far and much better than my XS Max which was down to 87% when I got the Pro Max

    Really? My 14 Pro Max is dramatically better than my XS Max was. I recognize that’s a jump of 4 years but I also said the XS Max had dramatically better battery life than my 7+ when I got it.

    I can go like two days with this thing. That said, improved battery won’t ever be something I’ll not want haha

    To be fair I haven’t had a non plus or max since they came out so my experience isn’t with the normal sized ones

    Here’s one of the ones I have: https://www.thekeyboardstore.com/products/f96-kat-mechanical-keyboard

    The other one is a different key profile but works well wirelessly.

    Their site is https://iqunix.store/ if you’re looking for some wireless mech boards

    Climbing gets you to slow down and solve problems under your own strength and there’s a good amount of technique involved.

    Snowboarding is something I’ve been doing for 28 years at this point. It’s so fun to go 60mph and enjoy the mountain air. It’s also fun to go slow and jump off cliffs into powder without a care in the world. Even just riding groomers with side hits can make an otherwise shitty snow day into a memorable one.

    I did tear my meniscus last year so haven’t gone back but planning this winter to test it out.

    Biking is awesome and I have a road bike for cruising around town and a dirt jumper for more hitting pump tracks and jump tracks. The dirt jumper is kind of like a bmx but with a front suspension and 26” wheels

    My parents used cloth diapers for me back in the early 90’s and from what I understand they just washed em in the normal washer and dryer.

    I would assume that they did a second rinse to make sure the washer and everything else was clean after though.

    After I was out of the diapers they kept them around and ended up cutting holes in them for one of our dogs when she was in heat and the tail just slid through the hole

    It’s wonderful if you listen to jam bands or bluegrass and want to hear a specific show!

    In Baldurs Gate 3 or in my actual dnd campaign?

    I played all of DOS2 by myself and started another campaign with my buddy that fizzled out, we also started the first bit of Baldurs Gate but both decided to wait on the full release for getting that going

    It’s pretty fun doing the games with a buddy, never gotten to do it with a full group though. Takes a little of the group management out of it because you don’t have to control all four characters.

    The games are definitely fun solo too! If you haven’t played DOS2 it’ll definitely tide ya over for the wait for Baldurs Gate

    I’m so excited to play it. My dnd group has been in Waterdeep and I’m excited to see another city in the world. The previews make it look huge
