I have Tidal. It costs the same as Spotify but pays artists more and actively promotes up and coming musicians. Also they aren’t part of the military industrial complex, so that’s cool.

Check out startplaying.games. There is usually a cheap or free game going on if your time frame is flexible.

I also switched to Tidal after learning about Spotify’s dystopian future war AI powered killer robot plans. It’s also bullshit how little they pay artists.

I wish Tidal had podcasts, but I’m happy enough with AntennaPod.

The American Temperament Test Society tests aggression in dog breeds in controlled environment. Participants self select, so there’s that, and ultimately I think the test says more about the owners than the dogs. Nonetheless, per the ATTS , the american pit bill terrier passed 87% of the time while the Australian shepherd only passed 83% of the time.

Hahahaha that is great! I didn’t see that until now. It’s a gas tank for the snowmobiles. And before you think I’m a fancy boy, they’re over a decade old and the only way to get to and from our house in the winter.

Once I started using alarms and timers my life got much better. I rely heavily on timers to convince myself to do chores. 20 minutes of cleaning or organizing my stuff is better then 0 minutes. And 20 minutes is digestable. And also for lazy fun stuff. I can set a 1 hour timer for video games or do a hobby or whatever and the time cut off keeps me focused.

Lt. Colonel David Grossman is not the worst thing to happen to american policing but he’s sure not helping anything.

I think it was 3?

I’m really enjoying Trine 4 (the sale got me). I’m what the kids call a “casual”, but I’m really enjoying the puzzles and the combat. It’s also a really pretty game.

I wouldn’t want to be a fool, that’s for sure. You’re the first of 3 people to tell me to upgrade, so that’s what I’m going to do. I just hope my girlfriend hasn’t thrown away the box it came in.

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it.

On the one hand I’m doing a great job of supporting the local animal shelter. On the other hand, they’ve got some questions.
