Also cyclists. If there is a person behind traveling faster than you, Get over when it is safe and allow them to pass. If that's an inconvenience, you should have "left the house a few minutes earlier".

I've raced motorcycles 2 decades now and this is brought up in every safety meeting. If the rider behind you is faster, let them pass, regardless of how important you think your run is. It's safer for everybody.

Thought of going with a shirt only at work and I could not made a worse choice. I will have to look for a new job soon.

May should have went with a shirt and pants :)

I’m also bit worried as folks told me you can miss certain side quests if you advance too fast,

Yeah if you're wanting to do as many side missions as possible, it's best to do all the white colored missions first. The yellow one's aren't going anywhere and they are sometimes chapter milestones that can lock you out of side missions. But I wouldn't worry too much about it. A. There are so many quests that are only available at a certain time/place or after certain events, you'll never hit them all in one play through. and B.

Now I'm going to have to fire it up later just to spend a couple hours roaming the wilderness camping, hunting, and fishing with my "Never leaving chapter 3 Arthur"

It sounds like you are looking for something like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2210

If you look around the site, there are lots of helpful tutorials to get you started with it and also help you adapt it to your needs. They also sell most of the extra parts you would need. For example you could add this to make it motion triggered. Their parts aren't the cheapest tho, you are paying for the ease of use, excellent documentation, and tutorials. If you're crafty, most of it should be salvageable from e-waste.

Like single frequencies/tones (beeps, boops)? Or more complex sounds (dog barking, voice)? A little more specifics about your project would help us give better info.

Cautiously optimistic. Weather is looking pleasant all week. I've managed to get my backlog at work down from about 6 months to 2, so that's a lot less stress.

Prepping for a dirt bike race next month (hare scramble) and it's been 4 years since I have; I'm super out of shape but it'll be fun.

No, I played it at release and was HOOKED. I remember clearing a 3 day holiday weekend so I could play through the whole thing (for the second or third time) in one sitting.

I had somehow missed that a HD remaster was released a couple years ago, so I gave it a shot and got sucked right back in. Still a fantastic game, even if the cut scenes and voice acting are a little dated.

For anyone who hasn't played it, it's abandonware now.

Still on a space game kick. Finished up Freelancer and started playing No Man's Sky's recent "Voyagers" expedition. It's still got over a month left so I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't played the game in a while. Just to see whats new; It's come a long way.

And picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale for when NMS starts getting monotonous.

Wholeheartedly agree. Beehaw's vibe always felt more like a forum than a feed aggregator. I think that format would fit it better.

Hang in there. I had all mine pulled a few months ago and after the 2nd or 3rd day my mouth still hurt but I felt so much healthier overall. I lived on smoothies and mashed potatoes that first week. Only regret was not having it done years ago.

It's been a slog with the weather being 105+F outside and 90-95F inside where I have to work. But it's over now. Got a weekend to rest and hide inside playing video games. I feel sorry for my neglected garden but it's been so hot I just can't give it the attention it needs.
