It’s cool, but $2,000 is way too expensive, especially if it has issues and can’t last 5-6 years at least. My Samsung Z fold broke a few years in, and the cost to repair exceeded buying a replacement phone.

I’d much rather have a cutting edge nuclear plant nearby rather than a data center. Especially since the nuclear plant probably wouldn’t have much in the way of emissions, unlike gas turbines at AI data centers.

I still miss WP daily. It was a fantastic OS. Way ahead of its time, too.

That’s not bad! I largely don’t drive anymore, unless there’s something I cannot do by ebike or train. I would like to get a used EV someday for those times where I really do need a car.

How much was it, roughly, if you don’t mind me asking?

Hmm. I think your GPU would run in 8x mode, but it should be fine, even sharing lanes with the network card.

I’ve run cards off mobos with the same number of lanes, and a very similar gigabyte pcie network card, and it ran flawlessly.

I’d check the physical connection, look for damage to the antenna connectors where the wire meets the SMA connector, and try swapping in the old GPU as a control if you still have it. On paper, things should still be fine.

Modern glassholes

I just don’t really know how it’s really going to work. Couldn’t you just design your own parts with one weird bit of geometry and the computer wouldn’t recognize it?

Like, I get you don’t want ghost guns, but it seems like the bigger prize is going after illegal and currently legal guns that are actually used in mass shootings. 3D printed stuff seems like small potatoes compared to the daily casualty rates.

Silksong winning GOTY and BGYSA is great. Seeing Peak up there was nice too. I was a little surprised to see BG3- great game, but I thought it was EOLed in 2024 after native steam deck support.

I don’t think even doing that now will save the them. They’ll have to bring in slave labor or stolen children to plug the gap, and it will have to be millions and millions of people.

It’s also needed for their HOTAS line, but considering it has sliders, toggles, buttons and yaw, I kind of understand why. It also allows you to bind sliders to keys and such (eg, binding a slider to landing gear)

Mid 20s! It all worked out.

Do plants feel pain?

From what I’ve read so far, unfortunately, it seems like they might. Plants can communicate with each other and form underground resource networks with other plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Including for illness, boring bugs and pain responses. The smell of fresh cut grass is one of those warning/pain responses.

I’ve wanted to do some bonsai succulents, but the process towards any living thing seems cruel and painful.

I think you might be talking to the wrong people. I know many people in happy marriages, male and female.

God, I’m so looking forward to a time when science, peace and environmental research are at the forefront of the world’s focus again.

One of my friends was a rural police officer, which I didn’t know. Dude is super friendly and queer. Unfortunately he had a lot of terribly sad stories of AD&D and DUIs. He finally called it quits when one woman rode up an industrial garage door to impress her friend and got lethally caught in it. Found her friend holding her legs to try and save her. Too many terrible things happened to nice but terribly misguided (or drunk) people.

I think that job hurt his heart.

Also the colonization of Africa to steal all their gold and minerals while propping up warlords in exchange for armed Russian mercs that crush dissent. That’s happening right now.

Flavored dish soap is kinda wild in general. Yes, I want the things I eat and drink off of to all taste vaguely of chemical lemons.

The default should be plain soaps and plain dish detergent. Some are so potent that the scent sticks to the dishes even after washing, and unfortunately, the food too. Especially that dawn spray soap.

Probably. I know everyone starts off as girls before some continue on as guys. Which is why guys have nipples and that line on their scrotum and taint.

Not so sure about the earlier developments though.
