I’ve been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I’ve ever owned, good job Google). I’ve just been waiting to have the bandwidth....
Anyone have any bareboat chartering experience in either/both? I have pretty extensive BVI charter experience and am looking to do the Med for the first time. For a long time, Med == Greece for me, but I hear a lot now about Croatia being the new hotness. Curious if anyone can share some key points of difference between the two.
I’m considering a graduate degree in engineering but I’m not sure what to expect out of grad school compared to undergrad studies. Share whatever you’d like about your degree, experience earning it, if you’d do it over again, and how it’s affected your life.
I did an MBA a few years into my professional career, and I think overall it was a great deal. I was fortunate enough to have it paid for by my employer at the time. That particular program was geared toward working professionals, so the classroom time was just evenings and weekends. It checked the box for me being able to say I have a graduate degree on job applications, so I’d say it was worth it.

Is the Generalist school option strictly better than not picking a school? The Organized Play guide treats schools as an optional character choice, but even if you don’t like Spells/Scrolls/Swords, it seems like you should always at least take Generalist for the expanded free consumable options. Is there some downside or...
You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?...
Anyone remember that Outer Limits episode about this? They thought the teleporter malfunctioned, but it really just failed to destroy the source “copy” of the girl at the point of origin. Since she also appeared at destination, the station operator had to flush the original out of the airlock.
I’m struggling with overly confident players. Obviously, killing a PC is one way to make them think twice about the next time they pick a fight, but I don’t want to resort to that if I don’t have to. Is there a long term status condition or something I can subject them to that’s good at making players averse to picking...
Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here’s a good start: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt
For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.
This is me. The Heir to the Empire trilogy is one of my favorite book series. I read every bit of the old EU I could get my hands on in the 90s. Quality definitely varies across different books and authors, but I think that era of content is worthwhile if you’re a Star Wars fan.
I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.
Yeah I mean it’s gotta be Quark and it’s not close. He also became the de-facto representative of life outside the Federation & Starfleet, which was one of the things DS9 really leaned in to.
