100% recommend Skyrim. I think Cyberpunk also has full audio translations too, though I've yet to play it in anything but English.

Yep, I'm aware of that search, but it didn't produce solid results. That's why I figured I'd ask the community here.

 

Specifically not looking for noun memorization tools, but more immersive adventure games where you can take your time understanding what's said.

Games I've found useful so far:

Open to any suggestions you've found useful!

I wonder where the original report is. I don't see these screenshots anywhere inside https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/kits-pool-replacement

Edit: Scratch that. It's all in https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/kitsilano-pool-feasibility-study-final-report.pdf

Yep. I have an instance I self-host to power a "cookbooks -> scanner -> images -> OCR -> indexed search" tool I built for myself. The whole thing is pretty much just a few bash scripts thinly wired into a Meilisearch instance, but the utility is helpful when looking for a recipe from my collection.

I've been working on contributing options in my neighbourhood. I use

[out:json][timeout:25];

// Food-ish amenities
(
  nwr["amenity"~"^(bakery|fast_food|restaurant|cafe|pub|biergarten|ice_cream|food_court)$"]({{bbox}});
)->.all_food;

// Items that already have diet:vegan tags
(
  nwr.all_food["diet:vegan"];
)->.has_vegan;

// Output the difference
(
  .all_food;
  - .has_vegan;
);

out body;
>;
out skel qt;

to locate, check menus, and update.

My post may well be tainted by my growing frustration with HappyCow growing increasingly out of date in my region. I frequently find restaurants listed that have long since closed and new restaurants not listed at all. But criticism in my workaround and its deficiencies has been wholeheartedly acknowledged and appreciated.

 

It's not a perfect replacement, but searching OpenStreetMap via https://overpass-turbo.eu/ with a query like

[out:json][timeout:25];
(
  nwr["diet:vegan"~"yes|only"]({{bbox}});
  nwr["cuisine"~"vegan"]({{bbox}});
);
out geom;

can be useful and is often more up-to-date with respect to restaurants that actually still exist.

A problem I find is that cars are increasingly visible with their brighter and brighter headlights, but that means pedestrians are much harder to see after you've been blinded.

I'm unclear how aiming solves the issue of a car with ungodly bright headlights going over a speed bump and blinding me.

I use it with Grafana. No need to run it all the time especially when it uses CPU while idle.

Found this utility barely mentioned given how useful it is in the context of limited selfhosting resources.

Note that Steam lets you ignore entire publishers. Go to the publisher page, click ignore. Done!

No disagree here. :)

 

When picking avacados to buy, aim for the ones that are longer than they are round. If it's as round as an orange, you're going to get this kind of all-pit bullshit.
