The Steam Deck works so well because the screen is only 720p, and even then people have complained about low framerates on some games. Scaling it up to 4k for a modern TV would drop the performance even more.
It looks like a great handheld, but I think trying to use it as a console wouldn’t work.


I vaguely remember reading about that when I was younger. I don’t know if it’s true, but this is what I read.
The peasants and farmers were made to stand in the fields throwing stones at the sparrows, preventing them from landing. The thinking was that the sparrows would die from exhaustion, if they weren’t killed by the stones.
What actually happened was that the existing crops were either trampled or broken by the stones, and as the farmers weren’t working the fields, nothing grew the following year either.
Like I say, I have no idea whether it’s true, or if it was just 80’s anti communist propaganda, but it’s stuck in my head ever since.


How do you fit the kettle down the drain? ;)


Opening a twist off bottle top with your hands when everyone else thinks it’s a normal bottle top is a good one for a quick laugh


Psyc Wave ZX - over the ear headphones with decent sound, especially for the price. Very comfortable on my large head.
OneOdio A70 headphones - over the ear headphones, again with decent sound for a low price. They’re a bit smaller than the Wave ZX at full extension, but still fit comfortably.
I’m recommending the A70 too, as they have three inputs, two wired and one Bluetooth, and they can be used together. You can connect the Bluetooth to your phone or computer, and the wired input to a guitar amp, for example, and hear both at the same time. Fantastic for practicing without disturbing anyone. As an added bonus one wired input can be used as an output, so you can link up with someone else’s headphones and share the sound with them.


If you’re taking any other meds, speak to a doctor before you try it.
I have a chronic illness that led to organ transplantation, and cannabis would interfere with one of my rejection meds. That would have caused me much bigger problems than the pain that I was trying to stop.
Unfortunately, cannabis has an almost cult like mythology around it. There are lots of people who will tell you that it cures everything, from mild pain to every type of cancer, and will even clean and polish your car 😉
I hope you find what you need. Good luck 🙂


Off topic, but I read a book or short story once that was similar to your edit.
It followed a character who lived on a planet with a toxic atmosphere. At the end of every day, everyone would get into a personal chamber that took a complete copy of them, destroyed their body, then rebuilt it and added the memories back the next morning.
I can’t remember if it was specified or implied, but the gist of it was that the machine ripped the body apart to the molecular level while the person was conscious, but the snapshot was taken before that, so no one remembered the pain.
Are the tracks incorrect as in the first track should be English but is the French track, or track one is labelled as English but is actually French?
If they’re labelled correctly, your media player should be able to select your chosen language from the options, whichever order they’re in. I think Plex does it.
If they’re incorrectly labelled, there are tools that can fix them, but it’s been years since I last used one. I think MakeMKV did it, but it was gui from what I remember.
