I'm working on a new game and sometimes I'll post screenshots of the evolving world map here.

What's the cheapest way to pick up a phone with a notch while I'm in SF? I thought I'd be able to find a second-hand iPhone X, but the prices I'm seeing are as much as or more than a new iPhone XR.

Please share with anyone you think would be a good fit!

The main difference is that the first one wants a small % of tax relief claimed whereas the other will cover that as part of their base fee. So it's not upfront expensiveness, just getting less money back than would be possible.

I gotta choose between an accountant who is good but expensive or an accountant who is competent but reasonably priced and I've been putting this decision off for weeks.

It does not in any way respect your time, but at the same time I can't help but respect it.

What's the best way to get a bash shell on Windows? I'm trying Windows Subsystem for Linux but it has some annoyances. Before I was using babun, but that was also not perfect.

Spent today playing Obra Dinn. Neat, but anticlimactic ending - I think you won't be missing much if you just stop at whatever point the deductions feel like too much work.

Advice needed: what are some things I might forget to back up/copy to my new computer before I wipe and recycle my old laptop?

This laptop has really bad text ghosting when scrolling - seems like the display isn't great. Not sure if this is something I'll get used to or not.

What's a good laptop with a good balance of specs/price/size? I haven't bought a new computer in a very long time but I definitely need to soon, this one is dying in at least four different ways.

Blergh, my laptop has decided it doesn't have a wifi card 🙃🙃🙃
