You can just get some menthol crystals and add them to whatever, like conditioner, it owns and a pound bag only costs like 20 bucks and will probably last for a decade because they're so strong. The crystals melt very easily and you can pour them in anything. The cooling sensation is very nice for the summer and you can make it as extreme (or not) as you want.

Nice, about a teaspoon of melted menthol crystals per 500ml of conditioner/shampoo or soap is probably about as strong as you'd get from a store-bought product with menthol already in it (I've only seen men's shampoo with it in it before because I guess it's HARDCORE :byodood:). I usually put in like 3-4 tablespoons per 500ml because I like feeling like I put my head in a freezer during and after getting out of the shower.

Just used the Tubi app for the first time in a few weeks. They updated the app and the only things that have changed are the color scheme and that it now runs like poo poo.

The app logo/icon now looks more like every other logo with purple and yellow text, so its harder to find on my app screen.

Jesus fuckin Christ do Microsoft products ever suck now ("lololol they always did" okay I made the joke). Outlook and Word will just suddenly make an entire line of text invisible until the next key-press, the entire Power Platform suite is barely holding itself together and has a ton of visual glitches and positions objects in Studio view one way and another way when you actually use the app or page, tons of poo poo that is supposed to auto-populate gets stuck loading infinitely, requiring a page refresh, everything God drat application, including the operating system itself is poisoned with AI bullshit, functionality is being stripped out and sold at a premium, and (as has already been mentioned) the greatest transgression of them all: Notepad crashes now.

Like a lot. As much or more than any other Microsoft application. Was it adding tabs? gently caress 'em. They suck. Get rid of them.

It's so tiring. Everything is so God drat tiring.

So I always mocked the "this is surely the year of Linux on the desktop" people, but for me last year, it was time.

Grab one of those fancy windows-esque types Iike mint or kubuntu and never look back.
Productivity software on them never works quite as well as best-case microsoft, but it also very rarely fights you / changes without warning / tries to gently caress with you.

I'm never goin' back. Every time I have to use WIndows I get loving angry now. I don't know why the hell I stuck with it for so long.

The moment I booted into one of my games in Proton and in ran better than native, I was overfuckingjoyed, 'cause it meant I'd never have to even bother dual booting.

Well liquor lasts a little longer than bread so it's ok to buy a 2 year old unsold bottle of vodka with dust on it. It'll be fine. Not so much with bread.

I should warn you: you really have to love tinkering.

My favorite game on Earth is "get game to run on something it likely shouldn't."

Takes me back to editing Autoexec.bat and Config.sys differently depending on which Wing Commander I wanted to play that day.
