You don’t even have to shoot anything. You don’t even have to be holding something capable of shooting something. The cop just has to say that from their perspective it kind of looked like you might have been holding something that could have been capable of shooting something and they’d likely be able to justify murdering you.
The rich would never allow a President Sanders. They have too much to lose.
That’s a bummer that it failed on you.
I’ve been wondering if it would be worth it to replace my 3700x with a 5800x3d but I’m not sure the modest performance improvement would be worth the price.
The only hardware issues I’ve ever had were due to poor thermal management.
If you want hardware longevity, use a high quality PSU, don’t overclock, provide excessive cooling (so that several years from now, when you neglect your system and its full of dust, you’ll still be OK).
My ryzen 7 3700x is several years old now. It was a little finicky with what memory it liked but since working that out, it’s been great. No complaints. I expect this system to last me at least another 5 years.
I haven’t watched much of Linus’s stuff, but his behavior in the three Linux challenge videos reminded me of the way Conan O’Brien would act with his staff. It struck me as an off-putting blend of arrogance, entitlement, and impatient senility.
I just watched that Linus tech tips video where the guy uninstalls critical system components by accident while trying to install steam.
First the GUI for the package manager refuses to do it, then apt gives him a warning that he’s going to break his system. It even makes him type “Yes, do what I say!” but he’s too much of a clown to read the warning messages all over his screen. He even smirks at the camera about how silly it is that he would need to type such a thing before he proceeds to mess everything up.
People were trying to defend him, saying that the system shouldn’t have allowed him to do it or that the warnings should have been flashing and shooting rainbows out of the monitor or that a robot arm should have come out and started honking his clown nose to let him know he was doing something stupid.
I get by pretty well just using my bank’s website. If you need the bank’s app for something like occasionally depositing checks, maybe you could keep your old phone in a drawer with your checkbook.
I personally believe that a woman could make a great president. I also believe that America is much more sexist and racist than many of us would like to admit.
My brother in law was still using windows 7 and it had never occurred to him that this might be a security risk. Normal people don’t care.
I’m sure this will draw some criticism but I’ve found duck.ai to be extremely helpful in troubleshooting minor issues with my Linux mint installation and recently with accessing and understanding SMART hard drive diagnostic data. It’s very helpful in figuring out which commands could be useful in the terminal and in understanding exactly what each terminal command is doing. Of course finding answers in forums and manuals is still relevant and important but as a beginner, this has been a fast and easy way to get advice.
Cool form factor, if it can run Linux.
Awesome!
I’m with you on this. If it could come with a privacy-respecting smartphone app hosted on F-Droid, that would be so great.
Setting up a stupid question just to deliver a pun as a punchline is 100% a dad joke in my book.
I’m interested to hear what you think is required for a joke to be a dad joke.
It seems like it was a situation where everyone felt like they got a good deal and nobody felt taken advantage of. He gave them a better deal than they were going to find anywhere else.
To me, it doesn’t sound like he was exploiting his friends.
Dad jokes are classically built around puns, as is the case here.
Setting up context doesn’t make this a knock knock joke.
They were going to send the weapons either way. They eliminated the school lunch programs so they could cut taxes for the rich.
