I love a good single malt, but im not a fan of laphroig. Too peaty.

Sips, a drop of water or two, with a good quality single malt or an extremely good quality blend (nothing Johnny Walker for example). Depending on the Scotch there can be Smokey caramel flavours, peaty salty, heavy flavours, some lite fruit tones, etc.

Its not for knocking back in shots, blends are nice with mixers, but if youre sipping a Johnny Walker red you are probably going to think this is shit because it is.

If you ever get the chance to try a really nice single malt I suggest you give it a try with just a couple of drops of water to open it up a bit. Then some gentle sips, enough to coat your mouth and spread the flavours.

Its like a nice cigar. Very rough if youre doing it wrong, very enjoyable if you do it right. I know most people will say "yuck, cigars are gross too", but the point is that there is a way to approach these things that make them much more enjoyable to the point where people genuinely like them and the routine that goes with it.

I dont know why anyone would leave chrome and land on something like brave.

If youre ditching chrome, which you should, go to an actual different browser and use Firefox.

Im playing on PC and streaming to the deck. Loving it about 12 hours in. After initially playing on the PC with KB/M I thought it might be a bit shit with a controller, but inward wrong. Plays great, looks great, and is a fun game.

Ill probably load it onto the deck itself eventually, but for the time being streaming is suiting me just fine.

I wouldnt call it single player

There is an obscene amount of content. The voice acting alone would take up an exceptional amount of space when you consider how many choices for pretty much every character/animal/whatever else there are.

Ive been playing on my PC and streaming using sunshine/moonlight to my steam deck and its perfectly fine.

Its much better on PC, but I cant lay in bed on the PC. Steam deck is a happy balance.

Possible does not equate to likely. Its a pretty ridiculous scenario to assume when its much more reasonable to suspect that its just being hosted on a stable system and paid in advanced.

This is pretty unlikely. Any competent IT department would notice an externally facing project.

I think its more likely that its on a vps or something and they just paid for like a year upfront.

Absolutely not. A company gets to choose who it hires and fires though, and if you act in a way contrary to their rationale then they have no obligation to keep you around.

There's nothing wrong with getting an explicit photorealistic tattoo of a vulva on your forehead either, but your boss at the childcare centre might not like it and you'll probably lose your job.

They obviously knew her twitter prior to offering the job and were actively monitoring it. The NASA guy doesnt just go around telling people to watch their language in tweets. They were keeping an eye on them, and they fucked up.

Isnt he a prolific anti-vaxer as well? But then held a fund raiser that required attendees to be vaxxed?
