  • Assuming you have a penis

    Patience and pacing. Go slow and take your time, especially at the start. “Too much too fast” will usually accelerate the end of the fun.

    If you feel yourself getting overstimulated, take short breaks as needed. Applying pressure to your prostate through your perineum can help calm things down if you’re approaching the “point of no return”. You can practice this yourself (it’s often referred to as “edging”) or with your partner, for the latter it’s important to communicate where you’re at and what’s going on so they’re not confused.

    If it’s been a while since you’ve had an orgasm, getting one taken care of beforehand (either with your partner or before) will set you up to last longer the second round.

    None of these are “immediate” solutions so it’s important to exercise patience and prepare your partner to do the same. With practice, you’ll condition your body to less overstimulated.


  • PNW

    We called June “Junuary” because it still rained quite a bit. We didn’t have “Fire Season” when I was a kid, it was still safe to have campfires in August. There might have been a few days each summer where the temperature exceeded 100F / 38C. We didn’t have air conditioning, but it wasn’t really necessary. Summer weather was over by late September, but I don’t recall it ever being very “hot” once school started. It was mostly gray and rainy November to May.

    Now, summer weather seems to start in May. It’s about to be 90F / 32C the next few days and I find myself wishing for more rain every June. There are forest fires every year, fire bans go into effect early to mid July, late summer the air is hazy and smells like smoke. There’s usually a solid week that exceeds 100F / 38C. Portable AC units are necessary for survival. I’m usually still wearing shorts and a shirt into the second half of October, my partner’s birthday is on the 20th and that’s been the last “long summer night” where we stay out until 2AM the past few years. Winter’s been a lot sunnier than it used to be, we usually get a “false spring” event in March. “April Showers” feel like they’ve been missing.






  • Hardware gore

    That’s the telltale pattern of VRAM issues If this system has dedicated graphics, there’s a high tool and skill ceiling to executing repair.

    If this has integrated graphics, regular RAM gets used as VRAM and repair is easy as long as the memory is modular

    There’s always the possibility that this is a silicon level issue in the GPU/CPU but those cases are statistically less probable

    9mm Parabellum was designed by Austrian George Luger 10mm Auto was designed by FFV Norma AB of Sweden 5.56 NATO was developed in Belgium by FN Herstal, as was 5.7mm 7.62×39mm was developed by the Soviets

    These European cartridges all use metric measurements

    .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .40 Smith & Wesson, .22lr, .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, .44 Remington Magnum are all American made cartridges that use decimals of Imperial measurements Original designer’s name gets includes because, well, capitalism lol

    I think one of the few exceptions might be 6.5mm Creedmoor, developed by Hornady


  • In order to be exposed to this phenomenon, this 80 year old grandma would need to have two PCs for that purpose, which is rather uncommon. They’d also need to engage in more activities than you’re describing, because browser only Grandma probably doesn’t have any shortcuts.

    I own a repair shop and interact with your average consumer / home user on a regular basis, so making these concepts understandable to them is not alien to me.

    As an alternative, though, I have had to explain why leaving OneDrive running and paying Microsoft $2 per month would have saved them a few hundred dollars in advanced data recovery fees or maybe even have any data at all after a crashed head made confetti out of the platter.

    I’ve also sent people to check OneDrive.com and have them skip that entire phase of work altogether. Compared to 10 years ago, data recovery cases are increasingly rare in my shop.

    It might seem dead simple to you and I, but getting this type of user to manage a 3-2-1 backup themselves is hard work and is no likely to pan out in their favor.


  • First, OneDrive only moves libraries if you enable backup for that library, something that the user is prompted to approve during OOBE or when setting up OneDrive.

    Thing is, library locations are an environment variable. This isn’t a OneDrive issue, using an absolute path is bad software development. The issue you describe is not unique to OneDrive, it also affected users who had remapped their libraries to a secondary drive or literally anywhere other than C:\Users\Username Ironically, the original Oblivion release respects the environment variable path. The same is true for virtually every other piece of software, which is why so many users were confused encountering this for the first time.

    Most Shortcuts default to C:\Users\Public\Desktop which is not indexed by OneDrive, but user created shortcuts or those for apps that install to the user account’s AppData folder (Discord, Zoom) will end up on the regular desktop. For those who do want to back up their desktop but don’t want machine specific shortcuts showing up ‘dead’ on other machines, you can created a shortcuts to the Public Desktop that the user can drop their other shortcuts into.





  • Gasoline and diesel expire in less than a year.

    In the present day, there are plenty of people living “off grid” powering their homes and EVs.

    Without a power grid, electricity can still be generated with solar panels or by spinning a turbine (wind, hydro, etc)

    Electricity can be stored in batteries that will last years. With the right skills, it is also technically possible to DIY a lead acid battery.

    I’d argue that getting places quickly is a substantial advantage in survival. Travelling is dangerous, people used to die all the time on multi-day journeys. Being able to travel quickly expands that range of available resources, and a vehicle provides the means to move those resources.
