I'm on a 13 Pro and currently have iOS 18.6.2 with the option to upgrade to 18.7 but I'm a bit hesitant to do so without understanding what features might be changed. It was a while ago but I was genuinely heartbroken when Apple removed skeuomorphic page turning from their Book app (but later returned it, yay!) so I get pretty nervous when my phone tells me it wants to update things. Is there any benefit to functionality in updating to 18.7 or will my phone then just want to jump to 26? I did a very basic search along the lines of "see changes between iOS versions" but that brought up a slew of articles talking about design changes between iOS versions which isn't really what I want >_<

I haven't had sriracha in years so I can't comment on their similarities but it miiight be in the same family so you might want to try a mini bottle.
I'd add a +1 to Tabañero. Their "XXX" is like a spicier version of tabasco if I'm remembering correctly though I don't recall it being that spicy. Their "sriracha honey" flavor was pretty good on pizza.
Cholula's "sweet habanero" is also pretty good and you see that in stores plenty but take that opinion with a grain of salt because I only tried it after accidentally leaving a (sealed) bottle of it on a shelf for a year and then decided to try it on a whim. Might not have been an accurate representation of that product :')

Perhaps not all devs have that budget but I'm in a few "indie game company" discords and if they're looking to get for localizations they will ask fans to help them on a volunteer basis.

I was originally just testing the game to see how it ran at different presets but it crashed when I switched it from Ultra to Low...oops! I'll have to play around with it more later. But my attention might be pulled away by the new season of Fallout 76 which starts today! I am so excited~

Wouldn't a coating of that type trap any dirt or salt against your paint and possibly result in rust? The same would go for the undercarriage too I imagine...I would probably consult a professional to see if you can get your car cleaned and re-coated but I think it'd be worth asking nicely that the shop do it again properly without charging you again.
As for your other car - coatings are preventative and not...curative? If you'd like to protect your other car from a pre-existing spot then you should get that spot treated and covered before giving it an anti-rust coating. It might slow down the spread but it won't prevent it entirely.

I had already read spoilers (not an issue for me, the game has been out for years) but I still ended up crying. It all felt so unfair. I guess that's Night City for you :(
Cyberpunk 2077 Spoilers (if you've somehow avoided them all this time)
I know RPGs often rely on plot points you can't change (like Jackie's death) but I couldn't help but feel particularly frustrated by it. Aren't you carrying around a med-inhaler?! We're working for one of the biggest fixers in the city but we have no body armor, no med kit, no nothing? There's some world-building inconsistency I feel grating against how his death happened that feels a little frustrating to me and took me out of the experience a little. Granted, still cried so I guess the emotional impact was still there. But from a storytelling perspective I think I'd have been less annoyed if he'd caught a bullet with me while we confronted Dex together >_< Ah well. Take this as me complaining into the void.I'm hoping I can work out why the game is lagging so badly during...I'm not sure what to call them. In-game cut scenes? I'm not sure if it's related to my character being in the car or one of the texture mods I've added to the game...something is causing some pretty awful performance issues. Everything starts to go in slow motion essentially. My new computer should be plenty capable of running the game with high settings so I suppose I'll need to search around online to see if anyone's experienced something similar.
Computer Specs For the Curious
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RAM: Corsair Dominator Titanium 64 GB
GPU: MSI GAMING TRIO OC GeForce RTX 5080

I've read a few of your other replies in the thread and you seem very...optimistic that this isn't a negative/inherently bad thing? I'm not sure if that's the appropriate word but that is my general impression.

I suspect I have a soft spot for any "friendly British narrator" from all the PBS/BBC TV I watched as a kid. I'll have to revisit your review once I've had a chance to play. Thank you!

I'm really happy to hear about someone else enjoying it :) Sure, organizing and recommending books is "unchallenging" but unbeatably soothing! I'm a little disappointed to hear that there doesn't seem to be much in replayability. I was keeping my fingers crossed for a sort of "endless" mode where you could just buy and sell books as long as you'd like. Maybe someday!

Why are folks being asked to give up their privacy when we could just...teach people to not download malware? Like, am I being incredibly dense and missing something right now? :') I've always been under the impression that you shouldn't download things you can't verify and that policy has worked out pretty well for me so far...
I fall into the camp of "mundane average person who has nothing to hide" but I am very icked out by all these new policies pushing to de-anonymize the internet and creative spaces attached to it. I'd be willing to hear someone out if there are genuine reasons/benefits I should be considering but it seems all very corpo-dystopian nightmare future-is-now. T_T please educate me if there's something I'm missing

I was sort of under the impression my monitor had some sort of physical switch in it and that their program would make it work? This seems like a great solution :) thank you so much!
Am I misunderstanding or does the logitech one require buying logitech accessories vs symless as a program being a one time purchase? I'm not opposed to spending some money to have a more seamless WFH setup but I do already have my "nicer" gaming peripherals in place.

My comment that 'food is food' was not related to the nutritional value of different foods or how that nutrition subsequently affects health. My comment was on how calling things bad, shit, trash can result in people having negative relationships with food. I don't disagree with ideas of moderation, of providing your body the nutrition it needs, etc. Here's a yt short that might do a better job of explaining what I was specifically addressing.

My grandmother often wanted a BK's frozen coke while she was going through chemo. Does that really merit punishment because someone else views it through a moral lens that says it's "bad" just because it lacks nutritional value?
I'm not debating on the predatory behavior of fast food companies in general, but I think that merits a discussion on how companies prey on systems of poverty, food scarcity, education on nutrition and serving sizes, etc. rather than moralizing the nature of a burger. I've certainly been served salads with a higher calorie count.
Anyway, I don't think it's your intention to be the big bad food police but I wanted to offer a different perspective as someone who dealt with an eating disorder that resulted from viewing food through a "good/bad" compass.

I think my monitor has a KVM switch but I can't figure out how to configure it (even with MSI's provided youtube guide). I thought I might be able to just add an additional monitor to my desk but the new PC is around 60lbs (27kg) and the monitor itself is another 20lbs (9.6kgs) and I'm worried about my desk collapsing with the addition of my laptop and another monitor...How do y'all handle all this weight on your desks?!
I nearly talked myself into that Anker charger before I realized it was meant for Macs and would not work for my mismatched giant MSI laptop and itty bitty ASUS Zephyrus :( Dang. That really would have tipped me into "I need it" territory. Honestly, my tech situation for travel is far from optimized and is more of a "well, I'm satisfied if the hotel has working outlets near my bed". Even in the nicest hotels the outlets seem a hit or miss...
In general, I'm far more interested in tiny...what would you call them? Creature comforts? I like things that smell nice, I like my soaps being organized, I like mini lint rollers that fit in my purse or blister bandaids for all the extra walking, etc. Those little things make traveling easier to bear when I'm very much a homebody. Traveling is great but I always miss my cat at the end of the day.
