  • I printed a lot of custom stuff that I designed for specific uses in Fusion 360 when I got my computer, and for about two years afterwards. But I don’t have any more custom stuff that needs to be printed, and I don’t have a D&D group any more, so my printer has been sitting for about six months. I’d say it’s a success though, since I made everything I need, and it’ll still be there if I ever need anything else.

    Compulsion is the line. Compulsion and destruction. If you ignore your responsibilities to play chess, and you spend all your money on chess sets and tournaments, that’s an addiction. If you love chess and play at every opportunity, but don’t let it get in the way of your responsibilities, and don’t spend your gas money on chess, then that’s a hobby. A lot of Candy Crush and other P2W mobile game players spend more money than they can afford, and they play compulsively, because the game is literally designed to be addictive. There’s a lot of addiction psychology that went into the design of these games, using the same principles that casinos use for slot machines.





  • No. Well, not KDE. My laptop with Arch and Gnome is a rock. My gaming desktop with Arch and KDE Plasma is a glitchy, flickery, laggy, mess. I was just thinking about giving up and going back to Gnome last night. I can’t even do simple website development without both the ide and the browser constantly flickering and text input lagging. Ive done everything that the wiki says to do to fix Nvidia issues, but it still sucks. It’s frustrating because I was using Pop on this computer for 3 years without any issues at all. I switched to Arch a couple weeks ago and it’s been non-stop glitches.














  • Actually I just checked. The pizza slice is $2. I was thinking of the hotdog and soda combo, which is $1.50. Costco prices have always been consistent for me regardless of location. Even across two different states. Here’s the full menu that I found online, although they don’t usually have all of these options. I’m still bummed out that they stopped offering onions for the hotdogs.

    Hot Dog & Drink: $1.50
    Roast Beef Sandwich: $9.99
    Pizza (Slice): $1.99, Whole: $9.95
    Soda: $0.69
    Churro: $1.49
    Ice Cream Sundae: $2.49
    Ice Cream Cup: $1.99
    Cold Brew Mocha Freeze: $2.99
    Mango Smoothie: $2.99
    Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad: $6.99
    Chicken Bake: $3.99
    

    A few years ago I read that Costco loses twenty million dollars per year on their rotisserie chickens. They sell them at a loss, and put them in the back of the store, hoping you’ll buy some other shit while you’re there.
