For the friend who enjoys BG3, you can play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous pretty much entirely with the mouse. The base game is 90% off on steam right now too.

Pathfinder has a massive learning curve compared to DnD 5e though, but that just means you can get an extra 50 hours of entertainment out of the game before you start the story, just by figuring out all the options when creating your character lol

Edit: whoops, seems like the steam spring sale just ended. The game is still absolutely worth it at full price though

I've always used this version, since the verb is commonly used in modern English unlike buffalo:

Police police police Police police police Police police.

That expands to "the police from Police, Poland will police the police from Police, Poland, who in turn also police the police from Police, Poland" or something like that.

I have a friend who walks with a cane, and she's always complaining about how she can't open doors if she's walking around with a drink in her hand. I've been wanting to learn OpenSCAD, so I'm killing two birds with one stone and working on 3D modelling a cupholder which attaches to her cane as a surprise gift. It's been a fun challenge; you use a way different thought process when it comes to openscad than you do working with traditional cad software.

Next step is learning to hydro dip it after I finish 3D printing it.

I spent a couple bucks on one of the Mr Clean ones this time, just cause they were on the shelf at the superstore across the street from my apartment. Now that I know they work I'll definitely get the cheap ones though

 

I'm currently living in my first apartment, and I'll be moving out soon. I've got tons of scuffs on the walls from stuff like installing my furniture while moving in and bringing my bike in and out of my apartment. I tried cleaning them with soap and water, but they weren't budging at all, so I sighed and resigned myself to losing my deposit. I mentioned it off hand to my dad recently, and he told me to try using a magic eraser. I was a little skeptical, but I went out and got one anyway. I was amazed, literally one swipe of the eraser was able to get rid of the smaller marks instantly. My walls have never looked better!

I had always assumed magic erasers were just sponges with some soap already inside them, maybe with a scotchbrite pad attached. But I looked it up, and no, the "eraser" in the name isn't metaphorical. They work exactly the same as pencil erasers. They're super fine plastic sponges, and when you rub them on the wall they break down into tiny sharp plastic fibres which act as an abrasive. I found that super interesting to learn, and now I have another tool in my toolbox.

X equals negative B

Plus or minus the square root

Of B squared minus 4AC

All over 2A

I haven’t done pre-calc in like 10 years, but this song still lives rent free in my head.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the ones you linked aren’t actually the same product as mine - those are hard candies and they don’t seem to have yogurt in them. The tip about google shopping is still valid though. I’ll have a look later.

[–] amoistgrandpa@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Nope, they were regular gummy candy but with yogurt mixed in to the molten candy mixture before it set (I think). They were kinda similar to the white stuff on the bottom of the blue whale gummy candies but not quite.

On that note, I also remember yogurt coated skittles were a thing and they were also very good, but I think those were also discontinued. Those are probably more like what you’re thinking of.

When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.

I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.

Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347
