Look folks, i took the advice of the above posters, and I have to say, it’s pretty solid. 5 minutes well spent
Remember, that includes yourself <3
To be clear, I wasn’t criticizing your picture. It’s got lots of pixels and stuff. It was more a comment on the set design/maintenance corners that were cut because "no one will see that at 480i resolution. Now we’ve got 1080 remasters and allllll kinds of stuff are being revealed lol.
It’s amazing what you can get away with when you’re broadcasting at 480i
On one hand, it’s stupid as hell to store a firearm anywhere but in a safe/cabinet designed for them. An oven is another level of stupid
On the other, I used to store our cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and I can’t tell you how many times I started preheating the oven and then remembered to take it out. Usually after its oil seasoning started to heat up
I’m sure there are entire books full of laws that they broke
Ehhh, I’ve seen too many “this violates decorum and tradition but not any actual laws” since 2016 to have confidence in laws and morals intersecting in a meaningful way
I figured it was someone like that.
I seem to remember something similar about not registering as a foreign agent in 2016 & 2020. Funny how that keeps happening around the Trump campaign 🤔
Kinda curious. What is the illegal part? I’m aware that political actors are required to make certain declarations about money, and I would guess that’s a part of this. That being said, there’s all kinds of foreign influence on US politics, including financial. So I just wonder what’s laws were broken in this case
I was thinking Karl Urban as Éomer when Théoden fell. Dude sells the grief and heartbreak
What do you mean modern? That was only four years ago. Right?
Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.
I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux
I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.
You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.
Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.
Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.
When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows
Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them
That would be me.
Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn’t because Nvidia driver issues, and haven’t tried again
Look, dudes, I’m bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I’d love to walk away from Windows but I don’t have the mental bandwidth for that shit
And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There’s nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.
Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will
I had to stop listening to Serial. My mental health is not where it needs to be to hear the realities of life right now, unfortunately.
It’s a really good podcast tho
I totally agree with you
Dude! I bought 16TB HDDs for my NAS for less than $300 each. What the hell!? I was paying just over $16 per terabyte!
I’m an old fart from the 1.44MB disc days. I thought burning DVDs was cool. This is just…
I have hundreds of movies and shows. I could watch 8hrs a day for a year and not rewatch anything in my collection. It’s amazing. Rejoice in it
I can put over 100 HD movies on a drive smaller than my thumbnail, but i get what you’re saying.
I don’t really have a point, I’m just amazed that storage has advanced this far in my lifetime (80’s/90’s kid)
As one of nature’s pedestrians, I’ll never trust a creature that looks at me with it’s teeth. Even I could tell you those bastards are plotting something all of the time
I strongly recommend the book The Truth by Terry Pratchett. He does a send up of the press in general and there are so many puns. Like this gem:
Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, Ankh-Morpork’s most enterprisingly unsuccessful businessman, peered at William over the top of his portable sausage-cooking tray. Snowflakes hissed in the congealing fat.
William sighed. ‘You’re out late, Mr Dibbler,’ he said politely.
‘Ah, Mr Word. Times is hard in the hot sausage trade,’ said Dibbler.
‘Can’t make both ends meat, eh?’ said William. He couldn’t have stopped himself for a hundred dollars and a shipload of figs.
Ok so when I’m stressed I’m a workaholic hyperactive overwhelmed people pleaser who will slam doors, self harm, get numb, and shut down.
Not even kidding.
Really though I think it goes like this as I progress from stressed out to the breaking point. I think my M.O. is Fawn > Flight > Freeze > Fight. When I’m pushed to a certain point I explode in anger, usually directed at inanimate objects and self. I’ve been living in Fawn for several years now
