I'm sorry, I don't have much in the way of advice. But you should look into "stealth camping". From what I've seen on youtube and reddit, with the right resources you can set up just about anywhere. Like someone else said, in most public areas you can find a nook, or you can use a car if necessary.

Also, make sure you know what temperatures your meds should be stored at.

Best of luck to you friend, and may the gods' blessings be overhead.

(: I'm really excited. They're good kids and they need a device so we can finally play minecraft with them properly!

Thank you!

Highest performance, easiest set up, most versatile with proprietary hardware I suppose are my personal criteria for this question.

I am clinging on dearly for survival. I can only say it is like I have been on a log raft in an endless, stormy ocean for years. My methods of coping are not ideal. But somehow I have survived this long. I really don't know how

 

Perhaps including what kinds of hardware work best with them. I'm interested in people's opinions on this.

Awesome. I've been playing minecraft since almost the beginning and that computer handled it well. I used to use Ubuntu a long time ago. I wasn't sure what was the best nowadays but I knew there were some new ones. I've heard of pop a lot these days so I think I'll try it! Thanks!

 

Hello,

I am preparing a gift for my partner's two brothers. They are in their single digits, still don't know how to read, and are mainly going to be using this computer for minecraft.

I have an old computer I got back in 2014 that has a pretty decent graphics card. Nvidia GeForce 650 or 750 or something like that. I want to put a Linux distro on it that will be easy to set up, and easy for them to use to play minecraft and possibly some steam games. I use Manjaro and have been using Linux for a while but I'm not super adept, beyond general comfort with the command line.

So, what's my best bet to get it set up easy and quick for these two that they can play minecraft with some mods possibly and other older, less graphically intensive games I have available?

Thanks. Hope you are all well!

Warriors is incredible. Can you elaborate on Bluestar?

Don't know about Dr Who, examples? Which one plays the tenth doctor?

SPIDERS!!

I just love them so much. They are little guardians and always around whether you see them or not. Tend to try and stay away from you because they're afraid of you, and we of them, of course... I just love how they look, behave, and the important work they do for preventing pestilence from overwhelming us.

It's hard to pick a favorite species. Huntsman are very incredible, and tarantulas. The bigger the better. Although jumping spiders of all kinds are simply adorable and I love wolf spiders because they've always been around in my life.

That's just Nick Robinson's bit. He goes on these wild investigations into things that absolutely do not warrant that level of dedication and care. I love him for it personally.

It was, first, a sick thing to put down.

The cure to death was pungent and bitter. To drink it was to drink goat cheese drowned in gasoline. A second or third dose was preferred - by the third, a senseless tongue has said its peace and has not the energy to engage the foul swill. The numbing, some say, was quite sweet. And then one aged no longer.

The woman to have the first taste, weary with age and fear, felt her tired bones begin to mend. Her hair regained its youthful luster. Her eyes their hawkish focus. She threw away the cane, tossed her glasses aside, and shared the wretched thing with the people of earth. And once all the children of the world were children of those who had sipped from the sacred liquid, death was forgotten, and soon, the horrid drink was drank no more.

That is what they say. It is, rather, what she says. What she'd always say.

We wrote it in our holy books, and shared it with our children, now numbering as the stars on this earth, which is not burdened by the needs of a species for whom food and drink is a relic of a forgotten time.

Then the story changed. Now the woman couldn't say if she'd made the drink herself or bought it at the store. Then the woman asked us to what swill we referred, and we said, it was your holy creation! and her response, that she would not soon forget the taste of something so awful.

Then she stopped telling the story. She'd say the words, but there was no order, and soon the letters separated, and she spoke the sounds, but the story was gone. Then, she was gone.

The thousand year woman, on her thousandth day of birth, could not speak another word. There was violence, thrashing, and foaming at the mouth. She scratched at her neck and tore at her eyes and cracked at her chest and split her heart, but her brain cared not for the loss of her blood. She'd awaken the next day with flesh and bone mended, and began the assault again.

I stood beside her on the thousandth day of her torment, and she rediscovered a word, and it was, "help", and it was first a whisper, until her screaming shook the halls, and she broke away from her bindings and began the assault again, and I called upon the doctors.

Now I stand before my mother, who is bound with titanium, from her head to her feet, her body nearly still, but the ceaseless vibration of her vocal cords continues, screaming "help" into the endless night.

The doctors say they will find a cure. They say the disease will be gone soon, and mother will be back to normal. That we'll know this nightmare is over, and life will continue. But they know not what I do, that another millennium old soul has forgotten their own name. That soon these halls will be filled with those tortured like my mother.

There is one thing they say, that is certain. That my mother will be cured. It will not be by their hand, for I have found my mother's notes and recipes from her younger days of alchemy, when she was only 87 years old, and she discovered a foul drink. I have seen what she has written and I have taken up my mother's work again.

It is my turn to find a cure. The cure to life.

 

Who do you worship and through what framework? Are you a pagan or something else? Personally I am a Norse Heathen. At the moment I worship the Norse deities and I worship my ancestors and local wights through a Heathen format. I do have syncretist leanings and for some time have felt a calling towards a couple of Roman and Greek gods. However all my worship is done and will continue to be done through a Heathen format for the foreseeable future.

What about you? What does your faith look like? Or do you lack a faith? I am interested to know!

 

I have created paganism as a safe place for discussion of pagan beliefs and practices. Please come on over if the path interests you or you are an adherent.

 

I have created Heathenry, a safe space for Heathens or anyone interested in the path to discuss their worship, practice, and journey. Heathens are those who worship germanic deities - such as the Norse, Gothic, or Anglo Saxon - and believe in cosmic forces such as Wyrd and Orlaeg and the divine economy, aka the gifting cycle. If you are interested in the path or a follower already, please help me build a community where we can comfortably and safely share our thoughts and experiences.
