My first time trying the Cyril Salter cream after receiving a smush from WorldRallyX like two months ago.
I'm pretty impressed! Very easy to lather, pretty great performance, and damn this French Vetiver scent is great. It's a very smoky vetiver which is just lovely.
I love the Steam Deck. It’s a very impressive device, and ultimately is just a small Linux computer with decent specs. I don’t use it a ton unless we’re traveling, but I’ve been very happy with it.
For what it’s worth, a distro like Mint or Pop really doesn’t have too much of a learning curve as long as you don’t have oddball hardware. They’re very user friendly.
Feel free to hop into the Zulip server if you ever need some help troubleshooting!

I love Stirling's base with a boar brush; it just works so well.
Definitely sounds like it’s time to find another job!
I’m definitely interested in the Steam Box, but I’ll likely not buy one for a while since I have a Deck and don’t really have too much interest in gaming on our living room tv. 🤷
Certainly an interesting device though. I also think it’s another substantial step forward for Linux gaming. Hopefully it helps make game devs take the platform even more seriously!

Chris is doing a release of Porch Drinks in the premium base soon, in case you haven't heard.
It would fit in very nicely with what you chose for today.

MdC makes a damn fine soap. Two passes, no irritation, super close shave.
