More likely zinc or brass.

Cook isn’t handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it’s 24 karat gold plated zinc.

I play Skyrim SE on Linux (Via Steam) and currently have about 30 mods on it, and it runs fine. I have run Oblivion Remastered (no mods) and have experienced occasional crashes, but it is at least playable.

Not a problem for me. All the software I need is either available as native Linux or runs ok under Wine.

I’m ready to ditch Windows entirely at this point. I just need to find the best way to do that, without having to rebuild the Linux side of my dual boot PC.

It’s not fraud if you tell the applicant what the rental criteria are and what happens to the money if they are turned down.

In ancient times, I was a small time landlord. On a couple of occasions I asked for an application fee. I followed these rules, which I explained to the applicant:

1. The application fee was refunded if I turned down the applicant, provided the background check did not disclose a lie on the application.
2. The application fee was applied to the security deposit if I granted the rental.
3. The application fee was not refunded if the background check found a lie on the application, or if I granted the rental and the applicant changed their mind and declined to rent.

It costs money to do background checks. I wasn’t going to be out of pocket if an applicant was dishonest with me.
