Quick, everybody down vote op for asking a question

Amazing quality of life upgrade. It feels like a million bucks to have hot water instantly. However, when I looked into this for my home it seemed like it saves water at the increased energy expense of heating your pipes, right? For me it would end up costing more than living without it.

Do I have this wrong?

Fun!

Still trying to figure out exactly what was wrong about what he did. A linked article says:

"...the defendant violated the Lacey Act that restricts wildlife trafficking and prohibits the sale of falsely labeled wildlife."

I guess specifically bringing embryos/sperm of a banned animal into Montana, more than the cloning operation.

Usually, but not always. Some 5-10 year old games are still north of $50. The price for some movies and TV series has gone up rather than down over the years.

Luckily, as you said there's so much out there that as long as I don't get too picky there's more than enough available without paying gouged prices.

Bought a new keyboard a few weeks ago. Had function keys set to alternative hot keys. Only way Logitech offered to change that was to download their "options+" software. Don't remember for sure, but the final download size was MASSIVE. The software included AI tools, but had bare minimal settings options. It added support for additional gestures on the keyboard's track pad, but made the track pad jittery. Made the fn key switch, then uninstalled the software. The setting change didn't stick once the utility was gone.

Returned the keyboard. So excited for the day when my shoelaces and sunglasses require an Internet connection.

Keeping the floss in am the shower was my eureka moment! Haven't missed a day since.

Keeping the dish drying rack empty. If it's empty, it is much more likely that the people you live with will wash their own dishes.

Also, if I am having a rough start to my day sometimes just grinning like a maniac into empty space for a minute sparks a better mood and motivation.

Eyeballing looks like the house couldn't be more than 18x30 feet, or ~540 sq ft. Probably less in reality. Tiny home territory. Smaller than most single wide trailer homes. The doors as drawn must be for hobbits. Fun picture just the same. I love the urban homestead explosion and hope it never stops.

I loved them all, but if I had to choose

Descent 2 > Descent 1 > Descent 3

3 was a well done transition into a new type of game engine. Good advancement of the story. Worth playing if you are a fan of the first 2. Felt like the developers cared for and stuck to the vision.
