Granted, the Zelda lore probably has the best chance of making the jump to live, but it's been fail after fail since OG Super Mario bros -

I have been taking it off to sleep and putting it on my bedside table - it may work depending on where my arm is when I sleep. It's not meant to be a powerfull transmitter.
That said it's probably not a hard circuit to give a little boost to.

We don't have tipping culture here, we don't need it or want it, and I'm for sure tipping you when I have had zero service from any staff or tasted the meal at this point.And the pages love to reset the tip to try and trick you into a default tip, I often have to reload the page/back out/dig through a menu to remove it.

I knew I'd have to find the right frame of mind to fully immersed myself in the story to get maximum value so it took some time to find the right 'spot' to play it.
Thankfully, my partner didn't hear my sobbing when I finished it.

But we are being slowly influenced both politically and via both traditional and social media to be more divided and extreme.
We rely on US a lot for protection over the pacific so we may be heavily impacted based on our need to support any potential future conflict that arises

Thesedays, either you vote early by mail or at literally any election booth you can find, or if you must on the weekend it's held - wander down to the local school, perhaps line up for a few minutes, vote, then grab a democracy sausage. -

The grey import prices were a bit too much, so I've been making so with a Razer Kishi and phone, just steam linking to phone. It's good, but small screen / wrong aspect ratio means black bars.
I will be traveling for work again soon which makes it even more appealing. -

It checksums the scripts so it only runs them on change - and for example you can also include other files in the checksum (so for my installs, I chose to pop a text file with packages to install for fedora/termux/fedora-gui and included them in the installation script, so it only runs when the script or the package list update)
I'm also trying to do a full setup for win/Linux. Currently, I've done fedora & termux (and I'm using fedora in WSL) but im about to reinstall/upgrade gaming PC so I want to do windows as well (using chocolatey/winget). Still not sure if ill roll win in the same repo yet or if windows is better separated.
My repo isn't fully featured but its here - the chezmoi scripts are in the .chezmoiscript folder.

I did this about 5 years back and totally agree.
I also rock a beard so I'm not doing a LOT of trimming, makes the blades go a ridiculous long way
