I finally watched some of the free Game Changer episodes and that sold it for me. I'm gonna go through the other free episodes and sign up for dropout.
This is a part of the internet I was unaware of, but glad I discovered it

Comment on What's the biggest YouTube channel still run by just one person? in ~creative
TheRTV Link ParentYea I'd be surprised if a YouTuber is doing their own editing on bigger channel. Nerdwriter1 still does, but he only puts out one video a month.Yea I'd be surprised if a YouTuber is doing their own editing on bigger channel.

It made it an overall decent show. Which is pretty good on the MCU show scale

TheRTV Link ParentI don't blame you for forgetting. I'm the same way haha I particularly enjoyed Rysn's interludes. If you can, go back and read them before Dawnshard. Her journey is a good one and adds to DawnshardI don't blame you for forgetting. I'm the same way haha

It takes place before WoR. I would definitely suggest reading it before 5.

The new boards are all fun and different in their own ways. Pro mode is okay. It removes a lot of the variability which removes some of the fun for me. I like most of the mini games, including the motion ones. The new Jamboree buddy is a great mechanic. I like that everyone has to compete for them. The competition is longer than a regular mini game which makes it more satisfying to win.
The best part of this is the new Koopathon game mode though. I am hooked. I love the fast paced competition as well as competing against 19 other players. The Browser minigame is tough enough that it can always throw things for a loop, so you can usually jump up the rankings by winning.
I bought the Switch online 2 vouchers for $100 deal for LoZ and this. MP is definitely worth the money for me

Comment on The Wayans Brothers reunite for new ‘Scary Movie’ with Miramax and Paramount in ~movies

Most fans of the original will already know that. So having Keenan at the helm will be a good sign.
Also comedies, like horror, can be cheap to make. So it can be easier to make a profit.
Personally I have my doubts. But as a millennial I grew up with a lot of Wayans projects. From In Living Color to Scary Movie to some of the newer generation's projects. So I also have some trust.
All that to say I think that some people will want this lol

My niece actually turned me onto this. I wanted to minimize what I need to leave the house. So I switched to phone wallets a long time ago. Specifically ones that didn't require opening or closing. I carry my ID, insurance card, credit card, debit card (for ATM needs). I rarely need cash day-to-day. So I'm fine just putting that in my free pocket.
The other benefit of the PopSocket is that i can take it off at home, but it's secure when it's clipped.

LoZ is one of my favorite gaming franchises ever! I've beaten almost every main line game. I've been excited for this. I'm almost at the second dungeon and I'm really enjoying it. It's not making my top 5 LoZ games, but I'm really glad they made this. On top of finally playing as the titular character, the mechanic is fun and unique. Being able to play copies of enemies or objects you encounter makes for fun combat and exploration. You can also swing a sword to a limited extent as well.
It seems you might be able to approach the adventure in a non-linear fashion, but I'm just going the way they tell me. The art style is cute and I'm really digging the music. If you like Legend of Zelda and puzzles, then this game is for you!
Also tried Monopoly Go for the first time. It's a fun little time waster

It's a bit too tall as the lid does not open all the way with my cabinets. But that's a minor inconvenience given it's usefulness

I'm not a particularly nostalgic person, but Rugrats is one of those few exceptions. I grew up watching and loving this cartoon. A lot of artwork and soundtrack is right from the show. The writing sounds just like something the characters would say in the show.
The gameplay is like an old school platformer. No checkpoints or saves mid-level. You either beat it or start over. No tutorial or walkthrough. Each of the four babies have their own strengths that can make certain levels easier, but you can beat it with any one character. There's three difficulty levels. The hardest one limits you to one baby and no respawns. For me that is challenging, but not that hard either. Also the game can be played with HD or 8-bit graphics and sound. They're interchangeable at any point. Both are good, but I prefer HD.
You could beat this in a couple hours. If I gotten it free on Epic, then I would have gotten it on Switch. I'd recommend this to any side scrolling platformer or Rugrats fans.

I also enjoyed the side missions of exploring the map and getting the lore.
The story was alright imo. Nothing special, but not bad either. I thought the relationship building was fine. No better or worse than the recent FE games.

Warbreaker and Elantris are also good books to get into after Stormlight. They connect a little bit, but the stories are good as you'd imagine

Most places I've stayed let it collect in a big tub throughout the day. Then you can use that water for flushing toilets or cleaning yourself. I've also seen a house that has a separate tank to collect water and that feeds into the house.
Only resorts and hotels have a lot of running water AFAIK.
I don't know that a lot of homes actually have the washing machine, but they didn't run it. They have helpers that simply use the machine for hand wash.

Then they'll hang the clothes out as you said. If homes have AC, it's typically the window unit or something similar.
It's possible their homes could support charging these smaller EVs. I haven't researched this too much, but I find it pretty interesting. Trike EVs make more sense than larger vehicles considering the needs and traffic issues.

Can their homes even support it and how much more is their eletric bill? I know a lot homes don't use washers and dryers. I assumed the reason was a combination of not having enough water pressure and their electrical grid. If the latter is true, how do they charge these trikes, solar?
Oh, I'm also not surprised about the lack of registration or enforcement. That seems typical from what little I know
Obviously you don't, so why comment at all? You're just complaining about complaining. If you're disappointed or annoyed that the comment thread isn't as you expected, then say that. Don't simply dismiss everyone else's opinions with generic reasoning like you have never had a similar thought.
