That’s kinda disgusting. In a world where we produce in excess the needs of everyone, but some must go without because of ilk like Gates and Buffett, the hoarders are blessed with the gift of also not having to pay for stuff themselves.

Truly self driving cars would allow you to participate in other activities safely while the car moves you. You could read a book, play a game, apply your makeup, etc. Given that trade-off, I think most people would be willing to sacrifice the extra 2.5 minutes a trip.

2.5 minute estimate derived from the difference of travel time between half the average US daily travel of 42 miles at a speed of 60mph and the same distance traveled at 68mph.

Most people would accept the trade-off of being in the car 5 minutes longer per day if it meant they got 42 minutes of leisure instead of 37 minutes of weaving through traffic.

Also with a critical mass adoption of self-driving cars the speed limit could be increased.

Given that the courts already shutdown Arizona’s attempt last year to keep people 8 feet away from a cop, I’m not sure arguing for 3 times the distance is going to stand.

Trump (in his first term) lost the popular vote.

Telling an LLM to ignore previous commands after it was instructed to ignore all future commands kinda just resets it.

The number of times you told me not to downvote really made me want to downvote you more.

I’m normal /s

[The bill] would force President Joe Biden to send weapons to Israel.

The act is not expected to become law.

Now why would it not become the law? The house passed it so does it maybe have to go through the Senate first and then … I think there’s another step. Something like the target of the bill would have to sign it into law himself thereby compelling himself to resume sending weapons (which he never stopped doing, btw). Yeah, I can see no reason why this performative bull shit won’t become law.

Well, when the people that could afford to buy one and were considering it in former years ended up buying one and the people who were waiting for them to become more affordable were met with the news that their only hope for a cheap option was artificially doubled in price overnight to try to prolong the death knells of American hegemony then your left with fewer people considering them.

Maybe “Black Ice” or “Remember Me?”

Sanctum 2 is a bit older, but it holds up as a solid FPS tower defense hybrid. It’s often on sale for around $4. The dlc is also well worth it, doubling the base game content.

If you had to choose the possibility of a murder charge and capital punishment for following your oath or simply not, why would anyone opt for the former?

“Don’t like the death camps? Well, we’ll send you to death camps and see how you like them then!”

If it just says something like “Radeon Graphics” there’s a decent chance that it’s just whatever graphics are bundled on the CPU. This isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s not what I would consider for “mid-range games for a while.” The steam deck APU is a similar setup. It doesn’t have a separate dedicated GPU chip, but it gets away with it by running things at lower resolution, framerate, and quality. Those kinds of chips are generally fine for displaying things on screen and handling video playback, but they’re not powerhouses.

That being said you’ll want to keep an eye out for a dedicated graphics card which will generally be heavily branded (think “AMD Radeon RX 7…M XT” kind of thing).

Since you’re considering running Linux on this anyway why not look into a Linux first vendor? Tuxedo computers is based in Germany and has an all AMD laptop, the Sirius 16.

The fuck you mean “how did this happen?”

Steam didn’t allow adult games then they did. So now there’s adult games.

Deleting my grub config instead of editing it. Fortunately that’s pretty easy to recover from, just annoying.

F’ed up installing graphics driver and had to reset everything from another TTY, also just annoying.

Chose the wrong permissions or path on a chmod call and locked out a big party of the system. I think that was during a setup though, so I just started from scratch again.

YOU may not want to be on this jury, but having a jury of one’s peers is a fundamental protection against tyranny. Inevitably some people recognize that and are willing to accept the risks of being on this particular jury to ensure due process is actually followed.

Obviously, the guy did not want to live.

I’m not sure we can make such a determination. Self immolation is traditionally a form of protest. One can sacrifice oneself for awareness even with a desire to go on living. It’s not generally an escape attempt chosen when losing a battle with depression.

In this context it was meant as a joke. Several Baptist institutions incorrectly label themselves as being “non-denominational” even though they are completely ideologically aligned with the independent Baptist movement.

I went to Bob Jones. There was a kid there got in trouble playing the guitar cause what he was strumming had “that sound.” No lyrics, just him strumming it wrong was sinful. Ain’t no way that kinda teaching gonna fuck someone up for life.
