People pulling guns out at gas stations and shooting people, hijacking their car in their driveway, significant car and garage robberies. It's pretty crazy. I live in a very affluent neighborhood, and not even close to the surrounding neighborhoods around Chicago. I'm an hour out.

imperator Link ParentYes, it's one of my favorites too and I typically don't play these types of games. I'm excited for KCD2. Didn't realize they made the characters look like the voice actors!

Fedora Silverblue or Kionite. Install applications with flatpak and manage permissions with flatseel
I run arch on my gaming desktop, but installed Kionite on my laptop. I prefer KDE over Gnome, but that's my personal preference. The only issue I've had with Kionite is installing apps directly from the flathub site by downloading the app link. Discover can't open them. But searching (which isn't great in discover) and installing works fine. You can also copy the terminal command from flathub to install via the terminal.

About a kid who's an adult in the second book who has the ability to talk to animals but also technically to people but hasn't been able to get a handle on that. The Kingdom is in chaos with the king ill the youngest son scheming for the throne. It's entertaining.

So I use it maybe 4-5 times a month. But it's a very low dose like 3mg of THC and I think 6mg of CBD then 6 of CBN. I barely feel it, although I get dry mouth with any THC. But it's enough to get me to sleep and mostly stay asleep. Works way better than melatonin, yoga, alcohol, Benadryl...

Just that unless something dramatically changes and they can somehow fix the hallucinations as they politely call it (really it's just trying to soften the blow that the reality of LLM is just extreme pattern matching and has no ability to determine fact from fiction, nor tell you how it reached that conclusion ) that it will likely provide some productivity savings for companies bottom line but no where near the hype they are selling. We've seen this with pretty much every new revolutionary product that's come out. Blockchain, RPA etc

I have the pixel buds and they stay in great, but the mic picks up everything.
I've been Google Fi user since the beginning. It's not the cheapest, but the flexibility and cheap international but is great. I'm sure they'll kill it sooner rather than later.
