I'm aware. Hence why I literally seasoned it with a smoke and then gave away the bag of tabbaco. Like I've been addicted to smoking before (namely clove cigarettes in collage. But also a short while with cigars) so I'm cautious to even pick this up. But I live in an area where finding good tobacco is hard. Like have to mule it in, levels of not woth it.
Its effectively a fidget. Like I also use it to limit my breathing rate a bit. Like I take a "drag" off it by covering the hole with my thumb a bit to make it a slower draw amd just sorta puff it out like I am actually smoking it but it's mostly just for the flavor and the thoughtful breathing... Could I do this without the pipe? Yes. Would I feel as chuffed about it (positive chuffed) no.
I recommend jumping feet first into NixOs and Nix packages. Having a single file to edit for basically everything is a great thing. But also terrifying at times. If you can manage this you can manage soo much in the linux spaces.
Wait the only rangers I can recall in fo3 where Railey's rangers. A mercenary company not affiliated to any of the west cost story as I recall. Verses the NCR rangers from fo2 & NV , as you said in 2 it was a random encounter whereas the new vegas rangers could be found as soon as Mojave outpost. And even more in the Easter boarder and Camp Golf.
Press's load letter, what in salvation's name does that mean?
Oh my darling tangerine 😆 JKJK
...FINE.. guess I'm going to try Niagara again because this looks so clean. .... But i'm not happy about it. (they type from a samsung, JKJK this looks dope and yeah ima give it another go)
If your looking to switch between things like stack/float/tile then I'd recommend sway or awesome, sway has the ability out of the box (iirc super+space) to toggle floating whereas in hypr you need to add or uncomment a line granted both are live update configs so you don't have to do the dwm rebuild type kerfuffle but still it's one more thing to get up and running where like I said sway has it natively and awesome has rules for auto-tiling. I've used all three pretty extensively and while I love hyprland for its animations I feel it's config needs a lot of tweaking, honestly so does sway and awesome but I still like them > hyprland.
