I hadn't generally been aware that you could install SteamOS on non-Steam Deck devices, and it looks like... kinda? And only recommended if you have an AMD GPU?

You can make it work with nvidia..

I installed it on my GTX 1080 worked fine though I prefer bazzite.

That guy roasted the girl really good. If only he could've done it to her in person...
Guy shares video of girl expressing disbelief about going into outer space and NASA and what not. Guy proceeds to roast her in response. End of video.

Now you don't need to watch it. Thank me, please. Thanks :)

Went to my jam session yesterday, as I was going to the bar to get a beer, some folks near the bar told me to go ahead because they're tourists and it was going to take them a bit to decide on their order (they were looking at the fancy cocktail list). I welcomed them, told them to enjoy, and said we were going to be playing music on the patio in a few minutes. Then they told me they know, that's why they were there. Kind of interesting to find out I'm part of a tourist attraction.

The boots I'm wearing were made before I was born. Pretty cool design. Soles are stitched and nailed on. Looks like good workmanship throughout. Old combat boots; early Vietnam era.

I have noticed that Ysanne Isard rather resembles Rogue. I have taken to calling her Rogue on an SSD. Someone else from the Corey Loses EAW Expanded discord calls her Icey heart.

_Greetings,

This is to bring to your attention that we have obtained a classified
document showing that you are dealing with scammers and impostors. We
have tracked your transactions and found out that you are dealing with
scammers in Africa and all over the world. We are aware of your numerous
dealings within and outside the country, most recently the
communications between you and some people claiming to be Bankers,
Diplomats, Delivery Agents, from the Middle East, Europe and Africa and
with some collaborators in the United States. You are hereby warned, to
put a stop to all your transactions with all these people and so many
more organizations such as UNITED NATIONS, EUROPEAN UNION, IMF, Bank of
AMERICA, JP Morgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Interpol, EFCC, World
Bank, Barclays Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, British High Commission
E.T.C.

We are working round the clock to get hold of these individuals who in
one way or the other, masterminds the use of banks, courier service and
embassies while posing as the real persons to extort from their victims.
You are WARNED to STOP further communication with any of these people
posing as an agent. And we urge you to forward any email you receive to
this office for verification and approval before you reply to them.

We have looked into the various issues and found out that TRULY you have
unclaimed funds indeed, most of which initially originated from lottery
and donations by sick individuals. Your payment files from different
banks; NatWest Bank of London, Central Bank of Nigeria and Benin
Republic, Bank of America, Africa Development bank, UBA bank, E.T.C were
compiled and submitted to my desk for review.. The total sum owed you is
the tune of $28,850,000.00 Twenty Eight Million Eight Hundred and Fifty
Thousand United States Dollars. As a matter of fact, this $28,850,000.00
is the funds that the government has approved and made available for
your immediate action.

The funds are lodged into the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, while
waiting for accreditation and transfer to your personal/private bank
account in any part of the world. The funds have been approved worldwide
by the United Nations/World bank and IMF, of which the mandate to
transfer has been given to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis under
the supervision of James A. Price the Senior Vice President, Internal
Support, Payments and SASTeC Division. Be advised once again that any
fees/charges sent out to any other individual or group is a WASTE and
you are doing so at your detriment.

The choice of Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was made during the
general assembly of African heads of States at Addis Ababa, the summit
was tagged "The Fight Against Corruption". It was at this summit that
the mandate to pay all compensations to scam victims, and other related
inheritance/contract funds was given to the Federal Reserve Bank of St.
Louis.

We also, after due scrutiny and verification, confirmed that you have
attempted to fulfill all the necessary things that will enable the
release of your payment. Unfortunately, your payment was not released to
you due to flimsy excuses from the Bank officials in charge of your
payment, because they have the intention of diverting your funds to
their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish interest. You
are however lucky that we detected their evil plans and therefore urged
for the submission of your payment files to us so we can personally
handle the payment assignment to ensure that you receive your funds.

During our meeting with officials it was agreed that the charges to be
paid upfront in order to conclusively effect the transfer is $285.00, so
you are advised to work together with the bank's Senior Vice President
to ensure successful completion of your funds transfer. All modalities
regarding your funds release/transfer are in place there at the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis, so the thing you are to fulfill in order to
receive your $28,850,000.00 payment is to contact James A. Price the
Senior Vice President, Internal Support, Payments and SASTeC Division
with your full details and request for the funds transfer and pay the
transaction fees of $285.00.

You are to contact James A. Price the Senior Vice President, Internal
Support, Payments and SASTeC Division via below information and make
sure you forward your information to him such as full details.

this is for you alone DO NOT share or forward this mail to any

for security reasons because you don't know who is who, if it does get

I remember the days when we used to get stacks of coupons in the mail every week. Might take a half hour or more to weed though them. Take 'em to the store, they'd manually takes the cents off and put the coupon in an envelope to go back to the vendor for credit.

Got a few today for the first time in months Fold out has my address and a bar code. Same bar code is on each coupon.


NNNNooppe. Round filed.
