No Man's Sky has turned out to be a really relaxing game.

And tomorrow's half-day hell-shift is going to be weird, too. I start at 8:30 at night, and go home at 2am. Five and a half hours of bullshit as we try to catch up with 1.5 days worth of work in 5.5 hours.

I gotta say, it's weird having a tuesday off. I mean, I know it happens every year for Yom Kippur, but it always feels weird to me.

@freemo I was able to get some stuff streaming, but not the game. I'm going to read some forum posts and see what I can do.

I think it MIGHT have been my using a VPN, but that doesn't explain why static images were able to be streamed without issue.

@sadladpress@freespeechextremist.com Now all I want is a joint and a beer.

@sadladpress@freespeechextremist.com Well. I suppose those are technically drugs. I stand corrected.

@sadladpress@freespeechextremist.com I don't believe you do drugs.

@jacethechicken Jacie, do the thing. You can do the thing!

Streaming was a failure! :D Well, you learn as you go. Next time, I'll get it right.

About to try streaming for the first time. https://www.twitch.tv/surasanji

First time playing no man's sky.!

@Lennart@spinster.xyz @georgia@spinster.xyz @sadladpress@freespeechextremist.com I loved Voltron and old First Gen Transformers. That shit was like my Jam. I still think Robots are fucking awesome.

@Lennart@spinster.xyz @georgia@spinster.xyz @sadladpress@freespeechextremist.com Sorta. Had those lion mech things that became his body

You'll need to get a 'hechure' (heck-sure) for instance. It's a certificate that says the Rabbi has come by and guarantees it is kosher. That service costs money, and that money is of course passed onto the consumer.

@TheMadPirate @GBCDude @TerminalState @wishgranter14

Eh. The money comes in more with the paperwork required for your butcher/buchery. But when they're doing enough to feed the Brooklyn orthodox crew, the price goes way down.

But send that same beef or chicken to the ass-end of Iowa and all of a sudden it's stupid expensive.

The process itself is pretty interesting, as a lot of it has to do with treating the animal with respect as much as it is bronze-age health inspection.

@Oblivia @TheMadPirate @deadheat @p @sadladpress@freespeechextremist.com @georgia@spinster.xyz

That certainly explains it.

@TheMadPirate @GBCDude @TerminalState @wishgranter14

That being said, in some places in Europe and the US Kosher is more expensive, but that's due to your basic economics with supply and demand.

In places with a lot of Jewish people- NYC, Miami, some areas of California- those areas can have Kosher food that isn't all that more expensive than non-kosher food. Again, it's your basic supply-demand economics in that regard.
