Should be just enough time to find all 900 KoroksNine Hundred?!
I have like, I dunno, around 15.
I'm a dirty cheater and used a map to get like 100 of them (because you HAVE to get them to have decent experience - weapons are simply breaking too fast to live with just 5 slots). But then I've got bored.

I found the fat Korok dude‘s first location (he’s not exactly well hidden, which is even an in game joke when he asks if you can see him) and bought two weapon slots for 1+2 seeds. So I still have more than I managed to trade in so far. Shields and bows seem to be more long-lived but the weapons just keep breaking all the time.

I can happily state I have never played minecraft in my life. So I assumed. Feel free to substitute minecraft where appropriate in my previous post.

status DAMMIT UBUNTU!
Woke machine up this morning. 2nd monitor wouldn't come on. Power cycle, nothing. Unplug/plug HDMI, nothing. Reboot. Well, would you look at that... When is the Year of Unix? Not sure I can survive that long...

Status: one of the cheap bluetooth earbuds just crashed. It keeps blinking like it's on, but won't play any sounds, respond to the on/off button being pressed, or even respond to being charged.
Nothing left to do but to wait until it runs out of battery and hope it resets properly.

That sounds exactly identical to my experience on Windows 10, so I guess Linux has reached feature parity.

I used to have a similar experience with macOS (before the most recent system update). Unplugging and replugging the monitor worked, so it was at least a bit better but it still sucked because the hardware reset would rearrange all my windows.
If only the OS could also handle my bluetooth headphones...

Can't be: proportions are all wrong. This looks closer to a pre-Sosaria moongate.

status2: I may have waited too long for some of them...8 tapes in. 3 dead. 1 snapped (I don't have the means to splice it back). 2 are so distorted, it hurts.
edit: 5 good, 7 bad, current one - so far, 3 to do after that.
A couple have started well, then about 5m in, die.

status so done with today, and it's not over. Remote synchronous teaching is way more exhausting than in person, even with no tech problems and good kids. Like it's my first year again. Then I had a zoom interview for a new position. 45 more minutes on camera. In a few minutes I've got a showing for the house, so it has to be clean. Then I have a regular conference call meeting for a church responsibility.

The 1/2: The first side played fine. The 2nd just won't - the player just stops. Now it could be the it's just a shitty USB player... But this project is done...

I need to get a better jack. The one time I had to pull a tire off (at 6:30 AM, in the dark, in my work clothes) with the provided scissor jack was less than fun.

Status: Well, the tax mystery may be solved. I found some of the receipts already recorded, several transcriptions (that I need to cross check against the records to be sure), a few more random receipts (that'll be fun), my part-time W2, mortgage summary, and brokerage summary. Combined with my full-time W2, ACA notification, bank statements, and sales transcriptions, I might have enough to do my 2019 taxes. If I can find several hours to do the data entry and another hour to slog through Turbo Tax. It might sound like I'm disappointed but I'm actually really relieved.
On a sad note, the missing CDs have not turned up yet. I have just about turned the house inside out in search of them. Now that I've put in the incredible effort to sort out the rest of the house, I can turn the office, where they should be because this PC that I'm typing on right now is the only place any of them were ever installed, inside out.

CDs for old Microsoft software to load onto a new PC.

Last time I tried using one of those provided scissor jacks was on a Benz, in -30 degrees with a flat tire out in the middle of nowhere with 30 cm of snow. The threads on the screw promptly got fuckered as soon as it started lifting the pressure off the spring. I've flat our refused using one ever since.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand April fools jokes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of humor theory most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head.

@anonymous234 I agree. But also a healthy digestive system, because that's where the most humors originate.

@topspin Nice avatar swap. I would have liked it more if they shuffled the avatars instead of making everybody boomzilla, but that sounds like too much work for a warthog.
