I agree! The time loop was okay when I was just exploring more or less aimlessly but it got super stressful when I started finding leads I wanted to follow…

Hmm… In my opinion you can’t really compare Balatro and Brotato. You’re right, both games are about making numbers big but the way, they scratch that itch is completely different in my opinion.

Of course the gameplay loops are different and when you’re more into the action oriented approach of Brotato, Balatro just might not be for you, but that’s not my point: In my opinion in Brotato you build your character and when everything goes right you reach a point where you begin to scale and roll and become pretty much unstoppable for the rest of the run. In Balatro you have more RNG caused variance in the main gameplay loop so you might have a rounds where you barely win and rounds where you draw just the right cards and destroy the Blind.

For me, a Brotato run feels kinda more “linear” while a Balatro run has more ups and downs even when going well.

That footpath is absolutely gorgeous! I envy you! I have a garden too but with three little kids too little time and money to really care for it and make some substantial changes. But I have some raised garden beds which is nice.

To be honest software development and archaeology have a lot in common.

In Germany we call you a “Mädchen für alles”

Also you generally only need to when you’re sick more than 2 days.

This, of course, depends on the contract you have with your employer.

There are contracts that require you to present a sick note on your first sick day and contracts that require it on third or even fourth day and anything between…

Did you try qBitController?

Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

I used the following components:

For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.

You’re correct but you apparently don’t know how exhausting it can be to listen to kids talking from the second they wake up until the very moment they fall asleep.

I am very bad at filtering input (especially sound and touch) and sadly the Christmas days, when daycare was closed, were complete torture for me.

It’s been a while since I played W3 but I remember Blood & Wine being a ton of fun. It’s basically a parody of overly flashy knighthood tales with all the pomp you can imagine. Has a decently sized map and lots of content too and kinda feels like an epilogue to the main game.

I full-heartedly recommend picking it up!

Folding@Home uses your computer trying to find new therapeutics by simulating protein dynamics.

I didn’t know, that HotS was still around. It’s been YEARS since I’ve played my last round!

No, but the soil had a pH of 6 when I first used it and the rain water I use for watering should be around 5.6.

Thanks for your advice. I’ll try giving them more nutrients and keep them damp. This will be difficult for me because I’ve conditioned myself to only water when the top 3 - 5 cm of the soil are dry… I killed more plants by overwatering than uunderwatering…

They alread have fruit but I read that cucumbers keep producing fruit as long as I harvest them before they’re fully ripe.

Yes it’s my first time growing cucumbers. I water them when the soil at the top of the container is dry two knuckles deep. This happens every few days. Maybe this is not often enough?

Thanks! It’s possible. I now removed the affected leaves and started changing the nutrition of the plants to rule out any nutrient deficiencies that I may have caused by skipping “proper” nutrients and relying on my home made slurry.

Thanks for you thoughts! I didn’t know perlite didn’t do anything for drainage. I honestly thought aeration and drainage were more or less two sides of the same coin.

I haven’t found any signs of spider mites (no webbing).

I’ve taken the affected leaves off and started feeding the plants with proper nutrients (COMPO Grow Organic for the time being, because its available and at least works great with my cannabis plants). Maybe my home made slurry is part of the problem.

I’d think that the cucumbers don’t get too much water because I water them when the soil is dry about two knuckles deep which proved appropriate for Alle my plants.

Thanks, I’ll try feeding the cucumbers with my cannabis nutrients. It’s COMPO Grow Organic by the way.

Yes, they are in the same soil but I didn’t use special cannabis soil but instead a simple potting soil mixed with some perlite for better drainage. I also added some horn buckle before planting.
