Sweet, guess my 4090 FE isn’t going to depreciate in value anytime soon.

Where’s Arch if you don’t RTFM? (I mean we’ve got 2 windows install modes there… only fair)

Game over, man!

Secret ballot helped I guess. Hard for Trump to tell who defied him and didn’t vote for his candidate of choice.

Watching TNG reruns nightly as an 8 year old really gave me some hope for humanity’s potential.

South Korea has as a staggeringly low birth rate, well below the replacement rate. Even if it doesn’t change the minds of men today, in the long run it will help shape the population in significant says.

Haagen Daaz has been the only brand worth buying for at least a decade now.

Who says it needs to be government employees?

I’m sure there’s plenty of militias out there who would be happy to do all this rounding up for Trump, once he gives them a wink and a nod. Wouldn’t even need to pay them.

Walls require a lot more effort. Experts and architects to design the thing, land which is both expensive and sometimes tricky to acquire, and materials and hard physical labor which is also costly.

Rounding up illegals just requires some willing thugs, some weapons, vehicles, and maybe a dumpy place to drop them while you wait for them to be cleared across the border. I’m willing to bet there’s plenty out there who would do this for free, and even happily provide their own equipment.

I dunno much about German politics, are they somehow in a broken / divided government or something?

Sounds like they’re saying the threat of a Trump controlled US would be a call to action to bring the government together and restore its function.

But we can just have AI write the stories now. I’ll be much faster and cheaper than hiring writers. And I’m sure it’ll be just as good.

I know the mini has been around forever, but I just don’t understand the use case for this product in today’s world.

The air is similarly capable, only a few hundred more, and not tied to a power cord/ monitor/ desk. As someone who owns a lot of Apple devices, and usually doesn’t need much of an excuse to buy more, this one still eludes me

Honestly? Who cares. Development is fluid and things can change. All concept ships (especially those with no release date, or release > 6 months out) should be treated this kind of caution. Many of them have changed a lot from concept to production.

They have the Starlancer BLD now, so anyone who got a Galaxy for base building should just melt and get that instead (once available).

That’s why he’s aging so fast right now… he’s working really hard to try and stay out of prison!

I went Capresso Infinity Plus > Baratza Encore > Timemore Sculptor 078s. I also have a Commandante C40. I also pretty much exclusively do Pour Overs and Aeropress with Light Roast beans (I’ve found my favorite roaster to be Black and White. Any beans I get from them I find quite enjoyable, even their less expensive stuff).

The Caspresso was just OK. The Brataza could produce a decent cup, but the Commandante and the Timemore are just on another level.

I got the Timemore as part of their Kickstarter and during the 8 month wait from payment till delivery I found myself just not even using the Encore cuz the C40 was that much better… even though it took extra time and effort to hand grind the beans.

That said, if you’re not getting really good beans, and not being precise with your brew ratios and methods, the difference between all 4 of these might not be noticeable.

Yeah, I thought this was common knowledge

Andor, Mando season 1, and Rogue One. Those are the only Disney produced Star Wars content worth a watch.

The prequels are bad… but not in the same way the Disney stuff is bad. Their main flaws lie in dialog and acting. You can see that Lucas had a story he wanted to tell, it was interesting… It just needed another couple rounds of polish (by someone other than Lucas and his yes-men) that it never got.

Most the Disney stuff, on the other hand, never had a chance. It all follows the principles of: design by committee, fan service, and rule of cool. There was never a vision for compelling story to be told…. Just dollars to generate.

Lived in a 1Br condo with one for 5 years. Didn’t have any major beef with mine.

Only issue was they didn’t allow anyone to install air conditioners in their units when I first moved in. Then they said they’d be allowing mini-splits soon, after which it took them 2 years to get that approved. Unfortunately they had designated locations where the condenser had to go, which for the unit I was in, was right next to the front door and kitchen window. I was all ready to purchase one until that detail came out…

Ended up toughing it out for the next year until I could afford to move out into a bigger house without an HOA. Now I’m happy to have full control over anything that goes on or through my roof, attic, and exterior walls.

Let the enshitification commence!
