How was it? Certainly sounds good!

For those curious how old, this picture seems likely to be from her 47th birthday. They were born on St. Patrick's day in 1945, and there's mention in the Wikipedia article of leading the St. Patrick day parade to aid with funding.

I hadn't heard the term radiation fog before. I figured it probably wasn't as scary as it sounded (to me) and indeed it's not.

Some suggestions for solid state alternatives as old mechanical magnetic storage has such a high failure rate. But retro whatever way you want, of course!

You can get ide to compact flash or ide to sata adapters and get some reasonably modern solid state hard drive storage in there, if that interests you. I understand (haven't tried personally) that compatibility can be kind of a crapshoot though.

You can also get a gotek which has a floppy interface and can load floppy images from a USB thumbdrive. Which might be a more functional option than getting a USB floppy drive for a modern machine.

That's good to know, thanks! Your approach sounds pretty good. I think I'll give that a go when I get there.

I found it quite satisfying! I was curious how that part of the plot was going to play out while the the bit with the other antagonist was wrapping up. I think they did a great job delivering the sense of two combatants pushing themselves to and beyond their limits (I feel like by the time someone is at a point where they know who I'm referring to, they'll know something like that is going to happen so doesn't feel like a spoiler). And it was a fun fight besides.

I'm curious to see what they do in Dawntrail. There was definitely a strong sense of them trying to wrap everything up.

I'm not planning on running any of the new jobs through that expansion, no. I'm running PLD and SCH right now and splitting that quest xp. And enjoying both so I'll stick with that for the time being!

Edit: Decided something I put in might be a bit of a spoiler. Changed to "other antagonist".

I've heard of one of them and consumed content from none of them.

Just finished the Endwalker MSQ. (Not including patch content)

I'm not familiar with the brand, but general ideas that come to mind to troubleshoot are:

  • Disable secureboot if enabled. Understanding you'll lose that security feature of course.
  • See if there's an option to mark your storage as removable in the installer (--removable flag in grub iirc). My (pretty old) motherboard does not seem to respect attempts to add uefi entities but it happily boots off a "removable" uefi install.

According to the plan linked in the article https://mailchi.mp/press.kamalaharris.com/vice-president-harris-lays-out-agenda-to-lower-costs-for-american-families this tax credit would be for low and middle class families. Which I agree with and like. Help those that need it.

Edit: copy/pasta of the relevant bit: "Vice President Harris is proposing a new plan to get tax relief to more than 100 million Americans. Her plan will expand the Child Tax Credit to provide a $6,000 tax cut to families with newborn children. Unlike Trump and Vance, Vice President Harris is committed to ensuring no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in new taxes."

To an extent. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if sometime in the near future they force the use their own DNS servers within their browser instead of respecting your network configuration.

The best solution to circumventing Chrome's bad behavior is to not use it.

Edit: speiling

True. Yet another linchpin.

Edit: spelling.
