To me, The Quest for El Dorado and Flamme Rouge are members of the same found family. They're both card-driven racing games, but in Quest you build your deck up, while in Flamme you spend your deck down.
The track itself is a lot more important in Quest, though. In tonight's game, I should have bought more water cards, but a humble Jack-Of-All-Trades paddled me over the finish.

Below is a photo of a notice taped to a bathroom stall: "Bathroom supplies may not be available here. Please check the roll before you commit."
@patridge What one could get away with by carrying a clipboard pales in comparison to what four people in matching security uniforms could get away with.
Saw someone with a T-shirt that said "assholes live forever". Not clear if his plan was to die so he wouldn't be an asshole or become an asshole so he wouldn't die.
Office mail wasn't delivered over the summer. Now I suddenly have a lot to read from the #ACM.
@greg @GrimmReality If a horse is full of the soldiers who ride them, a dog should be full of fleas. Extra siege points if they carry plague.

Hex map generator; download as SVG. Handy! #boardgamedesign
@colditzjb I'm going to end up hand-smelting my own wires by the end of this, aren't I?
@aebrockwell Installing new NVIDIA drivers seems to have fixed the problem!
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-22-04
I'm not sure how the graphics card driver is involved in turning the machine on and off, but I mostly stay away from the hardware end of things. I'll probably learn more about it during this Ubuntu adventure.
Next problem with my new #ubuntu dual-boot: powering off (with the "power off" button at the upper right of the screen) doesn't work. It takes me to a black screen announcing that it has shut down, but I have to physically turn off the power. The Windows side doesn't this problem.
I tried a web search and found a maze of twisty little StackExchange posts, no two alike. Many had no responses or several different responses, each with one vote. Some were over ten years old, despite asking my search engine (Qwant) to show me answers from the last month. At least one suggested recompiling the kernel, because linux.
Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Alt text: Cartoon. A technician is poking her head up through a hole in the ceiling. Another woman on the floor asks, "Is it a wiring problem?" Behind her, the technician's head pokes up through a hole in the floor (which must therefore be some kind of dimensional portal) and says, "Umm, I think it might be a little more complicated than that."
