I got NMS day one for exactly what it was- just exploring an endless universe, and I loved it for that reason. I understand why all the hate for it, but there are people who genuinely liked it for being a relaxing "do nothing" exploration game. Sure, Hello Games finally fulfilled their promises like adding true multiplayer and missions/expeditions, and that's given me a reason to pick it back up every so often and link up with a friend or two. Even VR was another reason for me to play it for a while again.

Seal is a good workaround app for seeing videos behind links you don't want to open. Sometimes I get Instagram or tiktok links I can't open, so I just paste the video link into the downloader, watch it once, and then discard it.

Thanks for the reply! Next time I'm out that way, I'll give them a try and see if they still live up to the hype.

I don't get down Woodbridge way very often, but I have tried a couple burger places that I'll recommend to everybody- one is Melt in Leesburg, and the other is Homespun Farm Store and Restaurant in Berryville. Both are by far some of the best burgers I've had.

Lastly, Round Table pizzas are my favorite, but I only get out to the West Coast a few times a year for right now.

On the subject of not knowing most of the things you mentioned, I'm with the other commenters. As a (hopefully) Linux newbie, do you know of any thorough guides I could use to install Linux on my 10 year old Asus X550J laptop?

Also the costs of planting corn, protecting it, the emissions from equipment used to harvest, transport, and manufacture, and the amount of water needed to make it all happen, it's extremely inefficient. Solar panels are just there. It's not always simple to set them up, and the up front cost might be high, but the long-term benefit far outweighs the cost of corn.

This is exactly how I've been drying myself for years! It's really simple, as when I'm done with the towel, I always hang it to dry on the hook the same way, and then grab it in the same way when I get out of the shower the next time. It takes no thought, and mostly ensures each "section" gets evenly distributed moisture absorption.

Well with ±400 million guns circulating nationwide, and one in three people are gun owners, consider how many of them would use them in defense of the current government now. There's a reason behind allowing 2A to go unchecked, when in the time it was written, it made sense. Now it's a civilian army that, while keeping the population divided, a not insubstantial percentage will blindly defend any unjust actions this government decides to perpetrate.

I just heard about this yesterday! I'm currently playing through the first, at around 55 hours and < 50% story completion and I'm loving it! I borrowed it from somebody four years ago but didn't get too involved because it wasn't my game, so I'm a bit disappointed by that. But this time I'm leaving no stone unturned, I love the combat system, and the stories and legends are fantastic! If Yotei is just as good as Tsushima, I can't wait to play it!

The conduit isn't painted red so it might not have been life safety, unless it got painted over to match the column after it became abandoned. My guess is an emergency light, which wouldn't have needed to be easily discernable. However, it does seem to have definitely had a purpose at one point because the (original) cover more than likely would have been painted to match as well, or would have not been necessary if was a device.

Regardless, even if it was an abandoned fire alarm circuit, the conduit should still be red.
