Usually, 2-3 double/folded sheets (so 4-6 in total). Possibly more at messier times.

There is a difference between "not putting the work in to make it run on Linux" vs. "actively preventing it to run on Linux"

Netflix DRM is an example of the latter, just like Epic disabling their Linux-support in EAC for Fortnite.

My Amiga 500 is from 1987.
But I think the stereo & LP player in the living room is from the early 70s.

I generally suck at playing shooters with controllers but I was looking forward to try the Gyro controls for Fortnite.

You can as a workaround play Fortnite on the Deck via XBox Live in a browser. But there you don't have Gyro controls :(

Peewees is referred to kids in amateur sports between 12-13 years of age

that's probably the missing piece of information for most ^^'

There are many VRChat world like this, and some of them quite photorealistic

Used to be addicted to only coffee but an Ireland trip introduced me to the idea of tea with milk.
Now it's coffee during working hours, Yorkshire tea with (vanilla soy) milk otherwise.

Why?
I am addicted to coffein and really like the taste of (milky) tea
I can also justify my addiction with the various health benefits from both coffee and tea (which even complement each other a bit).

I also have some green matcha tea occasionally, or a Matcha Latte, as I find the taste of matcha rather intriguing.

So, when someone asks if you are free the next two weekends, you assume they're talking about the next Saturday (tail weekend) and the next Sunday (front weekend)?

Entirely depends on where you live.
In Germany, generally tap water is food safe, whether cold or hot.

But I also hear in Britain it's often a seperate tap, as the hot water used to come from a local storage cistern where it could be contaminated.

Sadly, Fortnite doesn't run on Linux. EAC has Linux support in general but Epic doesn't it for Fortnite...
Was one of the first things I tried on my Steamdeck after installing HeroicLauncher. Would have been nice with the gyro.

I'm glad that works for you!

In my house we have roller shutters and they make you see nothing.
I've been at places without proper shutters.. tried sleep masks.. and they don't fully block light nor do they stay in place after even a single turn in bed. I ended up wrapping one of my black stockings around my head like a blind fold to actually sleep. >.<'
