I like doing this online quiz every once in a while (although the website has gotten much shittier over the past few decades.)

Got 123/197 today, those tiny west African countries and pacific island nations tend to get me.

DelistedGames lists games that were, at one point, available for play or digital "purchase", but are no longer so.

I want to know if there are any sites that lists games that never had any sort of digital release - stuff like Battlefield Vietnam, Universe at War or Freelancer.

I can't figure if mobygames has some sort of filter to show only games currently on sale, that would suffice

Title. Well these days I've been feeling lonely, and I feel somewhere male friendships I have aren't that strong. I'll be honest, I don't have many female friends either, but I've been particularly felt disappointed by my male peers, especially when it comes to talking emotionally. What are your experiences?

I'll be 18 in 16 days. Trying to get anytype of advise or idea what I should do. Some type of startup or anything. I did start on working on a website which just connects customers and workers together. But is there anything else I could do? Anything you have for me.

I ask because I caught myself being a huge hypocrite again.

I'm a millennial and I criticized a Gen Z friend for her constant use of the word 'lowkey.'

I then realized do I not do the same thing? I often say 'sorta' or 'kinda' when I do just mean I did the thing in the same way she uses 'lowkey.'

No, I didn't 'kinda' delete a guy's account at my stupid IT job. I DELETED HIS ACCOUNT! I didn't 'sorta' leave too late for work. I FUCKING LEFT LATE!

So I am a massive fucking hypocrite who needs to just let Gen Z chill and do what the want as I am the same flavor of asshole, but what about you?

I typically avoid anything smart, but given practicality, I'm looking for general tips or recommendations for smart bulbs?

I have just started self-hosting home-assistant, and would prefer ones which integrate well with that.

What should I look out for when buying them? Any brands to avoid? Any cybersecurity concerns you've come across? Or should I avoid them altogether?

The last few days, no one has replied to posts in this community. Before that, at least one comment and others over 100. And then it just seemed to stop, and the last few questions weren't undeserving of interaction. Was there a defederation?

I saw fringe those days in 2009 and then again recently.

And I'm sure to remember 2 episodes that I find nowhere on the internet or anywhere else.

One was where Peter was in an alternate universe but somehow his body was disintegrating because the universe was rejecting him.

Eventually he found a way by replacing all his body fluids with fluids from that universe

The other one is where Peter and Olivia have a child and Broyles is running for president. They are attending one of his campaigns. The slogan of his campaign is "Live Brave"

Why am I not finding any of this anywhere?

Looking to start a business, but I want to find a good community of other small business owners for help and networking without going on Reddit. Any suggestions?

I moved into a house built in the 1950s in the north eastern US and this outlet is on the back of the house but I can't find anything like it searching online. If anyone knows what it is I'd greatly appreciate the enlightenment!

I don't know if this is what some people would call life changing money.

safe bet: long term investment for retirement or to buy a house.

dreamer me: study the piano bachelor you always said you wanted to do, even if it's just the bachelor, and not a master, even if you're doing it not for the money or fame, but just because you want to play and maybe teach part time, but mostly because is something I enjoy doing, even if teaching the piano is mostly a side job to my main job.

I don't know what to do. Feel free to read my previous post, because it's related to this one.

i have been a skullcandy stan since like 2010, they have always been a solid budget choice and last a long time. my very favorite pair of theirs has been the Push Active. the fit, quality and price hit for me and i have used them for several years. however, the last couple pairs i had have stopped pairing, only showing up as "Tile" in the BT menu.

i replaced them with some Smokin Buds due to my tightened budget, and they worked alright for a month or so, but now there is no media audio. they still produce audio because when i put one in i get the "connected" message.

i just want a comfortable pair of earbuds for work that are sweat resistant, noise blocking, preferably with the over-ear hooks. i dont need outstanding audio quality, i primarily listen to audiobooks and podcasts while working. my budget is 50 bucks give or take.

i havent had the need to look outside of skullcandy til now, and looking at options online is very overwhelming for me. any reliable brands would even be a great starting point for me.

cheers!

A tornado spawned essentially on top of my house in June and applied enough torque to fuck up my foundation. One corner of my house is coming off now. I'm fighting my homeowners insurance to cover it and I have a foundation expert coming out tomorrow to give me estimates for the costs of repairs. My cousin from ohio knows all about real estate, so he gave me and my mom so many tips for how to get the insurance to cover it. I requested a new adjuster for a second opinion yesterday and one should be contacting me next week.

This whole thing has me freaking out and more severe storms have rolled through and made it worse. The whole right side of my house has shifted on top of the one corner coming off. Found more cracks in the wall of the finished basement today. We had a crazy storm yesterday, which probably cause the cracks.

I'm learning traditional Chinese, the one used in Taiwan and an etymological dictionary is really a good idea to understand what each character is composed of.

I found zhongwen.com online and while it is a very good idea, it is so hard to read what each character is made of, because text is so small.

Furthermore, I cannot copy and paste text, as it's all an image, which is odd.

Is there any way to enlarge the characters?

I'm on debian, browser is firefox

Withdrawing cash from the ATM is subjected to additional fees (even if you have a "feeless" card, there are other charges). Depending on the ATM in question, there's DCC meaning it shows up a prompt whether to accept the ATM's flat rate for conversion or continue without DCC (your bank is handling forex instead). There are alternatives such as Wise or Revolut (for multi-currency accounts).

Currency exchanges are a mixed bag (NEVER USE THE ONES AT AIRPORTS AS THEY RIP YOU OFF). You can go contactless throughout the entire trip (but at least have physical money on hand, in case). You get a smaller cut from the "market" rate referenced online. For instance: if you exchanged $1000 (861€) for Euros, you receive 795€ depending on the place, why is money lost upon conversion?

Also, expensive currencies I've encountered whilst traveling are: UAE Dirham & Kuwaiti Dinar for example since I have a rough idea on how much to withdraw (in order to not exceed my balance). Getting AED 1000 (234€ / $272) is expensive despite using a card without forex fees. That came out as a single bill upon being withdrawn from an ATM in Dubai, will stores accept it for small transactions?

Have you traveled abroad and withdrawn cash where it only consists of one bill (the highest denomination) due to how valuable the currency is (i.e. Omani Rial)? Or the reverse, withdrawn cash where it ends up being a reasonable stack due the currency's value being shit (inflated) like Vietnamese Dong? The reason why Japan is popular for travelers besides anime is the Yen's value has gotten weaker.
