The regular price of Red dead 2 on steam is still the full release price even though the game came out 6 years ago. That way they can mark it 70% of and still overcharge.

I don't know about other people, but I can barely smoke a whole joint in one sitting in a day. My wife on the other hand can smoke half a pack of cigarettes a day. I don't really know many other people that smoke weed though. I actually smoke less now that I ran out of my home grown stuff I grew last year. The commercial stuff in Canada is way too strong for me.

And I read that Tilly is only in a couple episodes.

This whole thing seems like its just a charade to deflect Albertans spite away from the Feds and instead towards BC, because everybody involved has to know that cutting BC out of any pipeline deal was a terrible way to get BC onboard a pipeline through BC. Even people who wouldn't normally care seem to be pissed off about this.

Yeah, although electric heat is 100% efficient it takes a lot of energy to heat water quickly. You're better off going with gas for hot water on demand. I imagine the unit price is more, but the install price will probably be lower.

400V in residential sounds exciting. That's one way to cut down on wire cost I guess.

Yup. That's why people use smaller heating elements and slowly heat up lots of water in an insulated tank instead. Just the difference in the cost of wire you need to run is massive.

I'm an electrician. I haven't been impressed by most of the tankless systems I've hooked up. I would definitely go with gas unless you are willing to run some serious power. Most hot water tanks pull about 3000-4500W or 12.5-18.75A at 240V. A good tankless system is upwards of 18000W or 75A at 240V and some can be around 36000W which works out to 150A. This will easily be the single largest electrical load in your house, unless you also have an electric furnace or something. Depending the size of your electrical service and what else you have in your house you may need to upgrade the electrical service going to your house as well. Most Residential Electrical services are usually 100-200A in my area.

2 pip Kim is not to be trusted.

Lol, I guess that is a thing. They also just jacked the price on that, didn't they?

No multiplayer paywall, but they'll probably try to charge you some sort of subscription anyway that'll end up costing more in the long run.

 

I've been running a home server at home running CasaOS for a few months now. I use a wireguard vpn to remote in to use Jellyfin on my phone etc. Basically i want to know if there's a way i can both hide my public IP (such as using a conventional vpn for torrenting) while still being able to remote in to my server?

I've been thinking of running running all my network traffic through my server and setting up some sort of firewall too, but I'm fairly new to this as this was originally just a project I did out of spite after getting rid of Spotify. I'm fairly green when it comes to networking and servers, but I'm otherwise pretty good with computers and can muddle my way through most things.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

I've been thinking of coming back to the game after about 5-7 years away. Are there any new features I need to be aware of? Has anything drastically changed? Also, how well does it run on linux since that's all I have to game with these days? Does anyone have any fleet suggestions? I'm not sure if my old fleet is still around, or if I've been booted or whatever. Thanks in advance.
