I really wish my cactus never died

Artist: Knapsack Can't remember the song name right now

It's the opening lyric to the song, and I just think it's a great way to illustrate depression, and wanting with every fibre of your being to do something but being unable to. Cactuses are one of the easiest plants to take care of, so wanting to keep it alive but having it die just shows how helpless it can get

    I think those are for people that normally need corrective lenses (e.g. glasses). Not something special for underwater specifically

    EDIT: ah wait I see what the OP was saying... Yeah I don't think water magically fixes vision problems

    Now that Snapper cards have the 1.5% processing fee on phone top-ups, I did a little math to figure out the cut-off for topping up at a kiosk instead.

    Kiosks have a flat 25¢ fee to top up if you use a debit card.

    If you are topping up $15 or less, you should top up on your phone (the fee is 23¢ or less). Anything higher than that, you should top up at a kiosk.

    The best strategy is to top up as much as you can at a kiosk in one go.

    Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

    I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

    If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

    I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

    I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

    Any advice on how to fix or improve this?
