This is the same vibes as Chase bank offering $500 for depositing $250,000

Those fucks are brazen with their greed

I can’t imagine a scenario that turning off your wifi signal would ever matter as far as thieves go

You can already hide your SSID which for 90% of people would be functionally the same as turning it off

Ok there’s a few that are trying to still be comics and I liked those well enough

The comic where she uses her borat onesie to slingshot a bird was fun

Removepaywall.com

I just used it to pass that bullshit message for a different article

I hat are you doing? I put an ollllllld dell micro on Linux mint, pretty sure that’d be 8gb at ddr3 (maybe ddr4, not sure) and it handles web and video well enough

No graphics card so it has a little screen tearing on fast changing scenes but interestingly it couldn’t even handle videos until I swapped to Linux. On windows it’d play the audio but the video would freeze.

Hell if I know, I recall some discussion involving grub no-splash but maybe I’m conflating the forum posts I read. The main idea is that some process is running and preventing the graceful shutdown but I haven’t read the posts in a while.

I do find it odd this only happened after a reinstall where grub is realistically the only change (shifting the install drive + boot options, deleting windows)

I know I gotta do some digging if I want to fix it but I’ve got other fish I’d rather fry

I weirdly got a problem after blowing away my windows partition

Shutting down the computer (mint) doesn’t fully shut down anymore, so I gotta physically hold down the power button til it goes off

Internet says something with grub is probs wack, but I’m lazy so I just made a shortcut to “shutdown -f 0” and called it good

HIPAA :p

Ain’t no hippa hippo here

The amount of asshole salesman that knock on the side of my house instead of ringing the doorbell is too damn high

I can tell them to pissoff via the doorbell cam/mic but if they knock on the side of the house (not even the door) I can’t even tell someone is there

If you pooped yourself on it, it’d catch the heavy bits

So yeah it probably makes cleaning large physical remnants (eg poop, skin flakes) easier

I went one step further and used python to handle the flags and what not

Just gotta add each url / playlist to a text file, then run the python script

But seeing all these GitHub’s with much more elegant solutions is pretty cool

Rising storm was also great, I loved the flamethrower and drum-mag Thompson

It’s not the same, but every few years I hop into the single player and get wrecked by the bots. It’s only RO2 but you may enjoy it. It was my favorite FPS of all time

I’m so devastated that 83 bombed, that game should’ve carried on the legacy

Man what an awesome game, I miss it

Many people are incapable of nuance.

I think it has some use cases, but it’s like religion: Don’t cram it down my throat, keep it to yourself, and I don’t mind it if it’s on my terms.

The spray-coating method cuts the cost to produce the reactors significantly, which should make them easier to produce at scale. But the hydrogen right now is still too expensive. According to a press release, the researchers still need to improve the durability and efficiency of the reactors.

Not feasible yet though

My buddy moved to Oregon where they don’t add fluoride to the water, and recently saw a dentist. The dentist could immediately tell he was from out of state and advised him he’d have to add supplementary fluoride rinses to his dental hygiene regimen to compensate.

I thought that was pretty cool the dentist could eyeball how impactful fluoride in the drinking water was.

Yall got some dismal life experiences; what a dour outlook on life.

You should pull footage now to ensure it’s working the way you want. I realized my date/timestamps were broken cuz the camera was only powered when the car was. Misc stuff like that is good to know ahead of time

I’m mainly responding to your quote about new things being against the established order and my view of NuTrek is extremely biased since I mainly get my information from RedLetterMedia but do you think NuTrek ackchyually can sit on its own laurels?

I did watch Picard’s 3 seasons and I think it highlighted pretty well the problems with NuTrek:

• retconning established lore to the extreme (slavery vis a vis androids is cool with the federation, earth has super drug problems)
• gratuitous violence (I was disgusted watching the equivalent of SAW with the Borg torture porn)
• action action action (can’t have any philosophy, gotta have fast paced machinegun phaser shootouts)

I could probably come up with more issues, but it’s been a bit and I’m never rewatching Picard. NuTrek is a far cry from the old thinking man’s trek and is really watered down.
