Do you have carbon monoxide alarms installed in your home?

I have a secret (only to my family) hatred of consumerism infected holidays where I'm socially pressured to buy shit. I think a gift isn't genuine unless it's a surprise out of nowhere unasked. A mandatory exchange because day of year is just us indirectly borrowing each other's credit card to buy each other crap we'd get anyways ourselves, at least with my family.
My mother will ask my dad to try and get me to go to her damned church and I'll ignore them again.
Despite all that baggage, I somehow still like Xmas. I still like getting together with my family, the social aspect. Plus the food, played to death music and old movies, the decorations. It was better when I was younger and my grandparents on both sides were still alive because we'd all travel to a huge extended family meetup, but even diminished and cynical I still enjoy some of holidays.
My friends also have a sort of tradition of playing Killing Floor around Xmas. Only time we play it anymore, one of my top hours games.
I'm not 50 until 2040 if I make it that far, and I have no idea how bad the future will get. I'd retire ASAP I hate working.
Doubt I'll ever get to, but I'd choose free time with minimal reasonable savings over more money easily.
That's over easy, medium is when the yolk starts to set but not fully. My fave is over medium.
Between scrambled and omelette I'm going scrambled.
Star Citizen, Yooka-Laylee, Broken Age, A Hat in Time, The Good Life.
At least A Hat in Time was a solid W.
You know things are getting insane when he's starts bragging about breaking Photonicinduction records.
The pacing is a little grating too, he speeds up his voice-over these days in post. Just compare how he sounds in older videos to the newer ones.

If you don't really care about exotic fruit adventures, at least watch his feature length Nutmeg documentary it's most excellent.
Boomer shooter comedic...retrospectives? I like him.

He repairs very old electronics and is soothing to listen to.
I don't even really care about motorcycles, but their video editing skills are incredible.

Accurate, he will do everything possible to avoid spending money on a project.

Taught me more about language than any teacher in my life ever did.
I find a lot of obscure old games to play via this guy and his videos are high effort.

Every video is a work of art. It doesn't matter what the subject is, you'll be entranced.

High effort vehicular brainrot.
Have a good day!
A lovely weird Canadian artist I adore.
USA news slop over-exposure protest. Very reddit-like behavior to shove USA politics into every fucking community so I agree.

The place I've worked at for over a decade now Darth Vader'd the deal and implemented mandatory scheduled overtime after cutting crews to skeleton. I'd rather get fired than work overtinme, so initially I refused all of it without justifying why.
After a year of doing that a manager tried to scare me into complying, but I just kept asking what the minimum amount of days I'd have to work OT per year and he refused to answer, and I never got written up.
So I work 2 OT shifts a year. They still haven't fired me 6 years later. I guess training a new guy in a specialised position is too much work vs putting up with my stubborn ass.
