Does anyone have any ahk file(s) they would like to share? I have (to me) a basic setup but I’ve never gone very deep on it, but I’d like to. As a new-to-windows user I REALLY miss some of the Linux key commands I’ve set up in i3.

I just recently set up my 2nd Dell XPS. The last one I switched between Arch, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Windows as my itch to tinker kicked in from time to time.

I had minimal issues with any distro I tinkered with. Ultimately, the ol’ girl had some failing hardware components so I upgraded to the newest XPS model and will continue to do so until their quality declines. I absolutely love the machine.

Is that what Adventure Mode is? I’ve been playing DF off-and-on since 2013(ish), but I’ve never tried adventure mode.

Interesting. Are you considered a “full time employee” or “contractor”?

Is there a better image format available?

Personally, I prefer Aurora and Distant Worlds: Universe. Paradox games are fantastic but these are Dwarf Fortress-level detail (if you’re into that sort of thing).

This can’t be a “normal” person, right? This has to be a paid actor.

I really like this breakdown, and I’ve employed it (to some extent) with various people. In my experience, however, it’s not so much that it worked with them; rather, they found the discussion frustrating and became despondent only within the conversation between myself and them. In other words, I didn’t so much change their mind as help them decide to not engage me on whatever particular topic.

I find that incredibly frustrating. Maybe I’ve rubber-ducked myself into realizing I’m not doing something right.

I adore this site. I’ve taken some time off from Math and have been using this as a refresher for some Linear Algebra stuff I’ve forgotten.

What a treasure.

Maybe I overlooked it, but what’s to prevent a person (or group of people) from filing false claims of racist behavior? They noted it had to be a “first hand experience”, but what sort of proof does that entail?

In a perfect world this is a noble endeavor, but we don’t live in a perfect world and this could just as easily be leveraged by trolls and/or competing businesses.
