Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.
Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock...
I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.
I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I'm willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.
However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I'm not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.
From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you're doing.
I'm sure I'm overestimating the learning curve but it's still intimidating.
I saw the headline, my brain went "so he's being held in contempt, as would any other person refusing to answer a question, right?"
Of course, I already knew the answer.
Okay so even though I read all this last night, I somehow missed the "2000 - (-2000) years" thus making the current geological age around 4000 years, and technically Pompeii would not count in the strictest definition. That said, had it happened 4,000 years ago, absolutely nothing would have changed. All the stuff would still be carbonized.
Also from Wikipedia in the (geological age) article: An age is the smallest hierarchical geochronologic unit. It is equivalent to a chronostratigraphic stage.[14][13] There are 96 formal and five informal ages.[2] The current age is the Meghalayan.
So again the answer is "yes it counts" but my personal take is "it feels weird to consider 4,000-10,000 ago multiple different geologic ages"
People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.
If you mean the cheap white/green plastic injection molded chairs? I've never had one break on me. That's an insult to the chair.
If you mean the shitty things sporting goods stores keep in their giant bins as soon as you walk in the door during spring? Yeah that tracks. Although I've had some that require fancy slides and buttons to collapse, thus making them harder to fold than this wet lump of shit.
From wikipedia: A fossil (from Classical Latin fossilis, lit. 'obtained by digging')[1] is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
Answer: yes. It does count. Specifically carbonization.
Personal take: when I think of a "fossil", I think of the stereotypical mineralized bones. Like the T-Rex in the museum of natural history that most people have seen from various movies and TV shows. Thinking of human and human predecessor bones as fossils is just weird to me.
You first.
But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it's the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.
To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that'd be great. I've been getting 2-3 a week.
I've been constantly reminding my in-laws that they are proudly wearing "the mark" on their foreheads.
I'm not religious but it's hilarious to me how many things point to him being their antichrist, but they're plowing headfirst into it anyway.
Woman stranded for 30 hours in desert after e-bike stops working on remote trail | OutThere Colorado
This absolutely reeks of someone paying for a story to drive support to more heavily regulate ebikes
My ebike is heavy as shit (60-80lbs depending on the gear that's on it) and geared for mountain biking. I've had it die in the middle of a valley. I've had it die 60 miles from home on an admittedly much flatter trail. I've had ittrip the safety overheat while going uphill.
I've never not been able to pedal.
Unless the chain breaks (and even then, I have a chain tool and have cut out all my gears to make it single speed in an emergency before) Walking it may be less tiring minute-to-minute, but you'll regret not having the speed of the bike.
Also, protip: if you think you might need more than 30-60 miles of assistance, get a second battery if you don't think you can pedal it.
Also, my requirement for calling something an ebike is the ability to y'know... Be a bicycle. Otherwise it's an electric scooter/motorcycle depending on motor power. So if it's one of those, then sure you have to push it. But that's on you for not having a backup power plan. I've never met a dirt biker in the middle of nowhere that didn't have a gas can somewhere on the bike.
Oh look, another person intentionally conflating ANTI-ISRAEL with ANTISEMITIC
They are not the same, and if you think they are then you might wanna check on your racist thoughts. Not all jews are Israeli, and not all Israelis are Jewish. The only ones who benefit from you thinking this is the Israeli government that uses this to shield themselves from criticism of their genocidal war crimes.
Exactly what I was thinking.
When you're cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don't wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don't respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.
It's 9v1, if you're scared just wait until they're asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica
Don't bother looking for a body.
Shit like this is why I donate to Wikipedia.
Fuck off and die, nazi scum.
I always loved the "we are the blades and we serve the dragonborn" followed closely by "you have to kill Parthurnaax or fuck off, we don't give a shit who you are"
Well, he's not in prison for treason or anything related to classified documents being mishandled, soooooooo.......
Rule of law means nothing in the US anymore unless you're poor. If it mattered, we would have had different presidential candidates from the start.
If anyone still cares in the government, none of them care enough to actually do anything but stand by and watch. Maybe give a half-hearted "yeah way to take a stand" after the fact when someone gets dragged out of the room by the fascists.
Excellent domain name for your instance, by the way. Absolutely horrifying in just the right way.
almost complete immunity to any consequences for their actions.
legal immunity.
Fingers crossed more people wake the fuck up that nobody is coming to step in and save us, we have to do it ourselves.
We used to know how to fight dictators and fascism, but apparently all we can do now is protest, quietly, in our government mandated protest spot, miles away from anyone who can hear or see us. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
This will be much less funny when it's the black bag squad roaming around in unmarked vans kidnapping people for not having Trump's mark on them.
I think you hit the nail on the head with that "you just read the title" and now they're mad for being called out.
Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.
I can tell you exactly how much every single one of those things is worth once their mansions are burned to the ground.
