This isn't exactly "can't live without," that would be HomeAssistant. But what I Immediately thought of?

Beyond All Reason

This is an RTS game in the spirit of Total Annihilation.

  • labor of love
  • fully 3d, including ability to rotate or raise/lower view
  • tens of thousands of units without hardware lag for reasonably modem hardware (3-4 years old)
  • all shots actively rendered, leading to:
  • realistic friendly fire
  • even air units can get hit by ballistic shots targeting land units (although odds are fairly slim)
  • redirect-unit-to-dodge micro is effective in some situations
  • meaningful terrain
  • radar will have blind spots based on line-of-sight
  • radar gives clear indicator of coverage during placement
  • two factions, almost 200 units each, with tier 1, 2, and 3 units. A third (currently playable with a setting change) faction is in the works.
  • crafty, non-cheating ai opponents
  • free server hosting (!)
  • active servers all times of day

The overall feel and balance of the game is great. The changes they make to balance are generally light and reasonable, and the game had a good community.

Fam and friends play together often.

Yeah, as far as FOSS I almost actually can't live without: HomeAssistant controls my spring pump to the cistern so that the pipes don't freeze.

I doubt part of your statement.

I am, but all I can think is that the little bastards need some fucking culture!

The KKK are indeed a fundamentally social problem, but may need to be curtailed with enforcement at times.

I had to ditch my girlfriend because she became an arch elitist. Debian ftw.

Oh! Yes, of course.

Did you even read what I wrote?

Those few Dems are clearly the ones pushing this. But that it should be bipartisan and should have more support in general has nothing to do with false equivocation.

The irony here, though, is that because of your partisan BS, you clearly interpreted that as an insult to the Democrats.

Those three Democrat are focusing on the thing all of the Democrats and Republicans should.

Yeah, there's stuff to like, but.. but..

I just disable most of the Pop stuff and use vanilla gnome.

This awful creature was, according to my partner, found under or black walnut tree, attached to or emerging from the neck of a very-recently killed bunny that the dog had (killed within the last ~15m). Any idea what it is? More pics available.

It's not smooth like a slug/leech, but has a textured surface. It looks like a grub, but what would a grub be doing attached to a bunny? It has an obvious mouth and anus. She described the mouth part as "hexagonal", which she saw open while it was alive, coming off of or out of the Bunny's neck (it was in or by by a wound it didn't necessarily inflict).

I think it's probably just congealed evil and should be thrown into a fire, along with everything it touched except the puppy, and that's how it's going to get me.

My opinion is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but what is this really?
