Been really happy with support and updates from Graphene. Pretty simple nontechnical installation most users are capable of and no dodgy rooting/unlocking required. All supported officially with pixel line of phones. My banking apps etc all work fine because of this.

From a 970gtx with an incredibly annoying and loud blower fan design to a 2080rtx in the middle of the initial shitcoin mining craze. The price made me sick at the time but after watching it climb and not stop it was a great purchase in hindsight. Still going strong today but starting to really show its age.
Currently wondering about the 9070xt but the local retailers have replaced the scalpers themselves...
Motorcycle accident. Broken collarbone was the worst part. Broken ribs, internal bleeding, and later an infection with high fever that put me on antibiotics for a while were the least of it surprisingly.
The accident itself wasn't so bad due to adrenaline, however having one piece of the collarbone almost puncture my lung, and the other piece pop out of the skin a little at the top was uncomfortable.
The absolute worst part was recovery. The two pieces of collarbone rubbing together constantly, having to lie on my back still to sleep, while resting my arm in the sling on top of broken ribs. Unable to roll in my sleep gave me severe back pain. I basically had little to no sleep for the first 3 months. Was prescribed painkillers that didn't do much until they upgraded me to tramidol. I didn't react well to it so I could choose between strong pain and no sleep or strong nausia and vomiting with also no sleep.
Painkillers don't take away the sensation of bone rubbing on bone. The memory alone makes me shudder to this day
Fully the same here. Sometimes I get bouts of inspiration to hop on the server or organize to do something with the group we have, but always fizzles out after a few months as you say. Which is fine really, a lot of other good games I tend to circle back to over time just like minecraft.
Minecraft.
Way back in its beta days, a couple of mates couldn't put it down. They couldn't explain why digging holes was fun nor placing cubes. I really didn't get it after a demonstration from them. Eventually had a LAN with a mate that was vaguely curious but also didn't think it was going to be interesting.
We didn't sleep for the next 36hrs, nor notice it was a new day until my family got up and started making breakfast.
Step one of brewing is to drink brew while I brew! But I write everything down in my log to refer to later - measurements, observations, things that go well and things to improve on.
It's great to check that one beer I had hiding in the closet that aged amazingly well. Now I have a hope of repeating it.
Who do you mean by we? I don't know any boomer who isn't right wing. I know very very few right wingers outside of that generation. Anacdotal yes, but I can't help think this is the last gift from their generation before they cark it.
It also doesn't help that the right seems to shift the landscape further right, while the left sits on their hands and nothing barely changes. Its hard to label labour left anymore honestly. Just a constant ratcheting towards this brainless neoliberal experiment gone rogue.
What was the last policy implemented by any party that had a tangibly positive affect on your living conditions? For me, none at the time I left. Made leaving slightly easier. But now I'm overseas I feel like all countries are sinking ships for workers. NZ feels a lot further along and faster than most.
