No bother!

For customization, you want a MUD client rather than a standard telnet client. I used zMUD back in the day, but FLOSS was harder to come by back then. These days, I’d go with mudlet.

I never really paid attention to the level gain ratio. I’d look here for that kind of question.

That’s an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

Of course, those weren’t capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism’s instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

Since people are posting games, I’ll throw in Realms of Despair

Not tipping only punishes the victim, not the employer.

Because it’s a shit job with minimal pay, physically demanding, and the hours are usually cut in the off-season.

This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assumptions of average needs that won’t all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.

At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance’s provider list or to search your location here and then filter by “Online” and your insurance carrier

Aldo that it has sun sensitivity as a side effect

Completely different flavor, unfortunately

For those not in the US south and afraid of being judged, “all” on its own is an option.

“Hi all” is unlikely to raise any eyebrows

Good news - you still can!

Seriously, open a new tab on your browser NOW and jump on eBay or whatever and buy it. Even if you aren’t surprised by how much fun it still is (which you probably will be), you’ll be able to stop regretting NOT having it. No downside!

Assuming this is USA, the phrase you’re looking for is “Am I being detained, or am I free to go?”

For a more detailed answer, this is what the ACLU has to say.

Thank you - fixed!

Even more specifically, Calcium Hydroxide is “slaked lime” (also called “pickling” lime, as opposed to the even more caustic “unslaked lime” (Calcium Oxide)

Definitely scrambled. If you freeze as-is, the yolks will gel and remain that way when thawed.

Your other option is water glassing rather than freezing, but that only works with fresh, unwashed egs (not store bought). Also be aware most recipes you will find on the internet are wrong! Proper waterglassing should use Sodium Silicate, not lime lye (Sodium Hydroxide).

Edit: Corrected - see below. Also, be aware that “lye” in older recipes can refer to any basic (as opposed to acidic) solution, and was more commonly potassium hydroxide leached from wood ash rather than sodium hydroxide.

As you seem to have discovered: Yes! We’re using it right now!

For a privacy friendly OS, surprised nobody has mentioned Freedombox

It’s designed explicitly for your use case, along with an easy path to other self hosted services. When you’re ready for more than it offers through the web interface, it’s a full Debian install under the hood - so you can install whatever you need to. Privacy friendly and super stable, with smooth upgrades to new releases and security updates for old versions several years after the new one is available.

As far as hardware, your old computer is probably more powerful than a Pi and can support more drives, but the Pi will be more power efficient. As others have mentioned, if you care about your data long term then backups are a must, so a separate NAS or a Pi with a large drive for backup storage is a good idea as well, whatever OS you choose.

42" 1080p TV. Again, probably not the best for gaming, but I don’t really game heavily. And for work - complete game changer.

Not true. Free cellular connections exist in some places. And there are non-cellular solutions like LoRA trackers.

Look for bulbs with metal fins where the white plastic is in your image. They’re there as a heat sink so the heat disperses into the air rather than building up inside.
