X1 is also great imo. Just the perfect blend of action, self awareness and cheese.

He had is own line of denims, with extra stretchy crotches. Makes roundhouse kicking baddies in the face easier.

Huuuuuuuuge in South Africa.

Any person from South Africa from that era will have a certain tv announcement permanently etched in their memories. It goes something like:

"Friday night is action night with Walker Texas Ranger"

Chuck Norris made a Chuck Norris joke in one of the Expendable movies, and for that I'm willing to forgive all his indiscretions.

I printed out all the jokes on my dad's home office printer and sold copies at school. This was pre smartphones.

Guidance is by a huge margin more important. The best engine and warhead is meaningless without a means of hitting your target.

Thanks, we are definitely in the 'if it's this easy we should have another one!'. She's been a treat so far and from what I've heard from other parents, very easy.

With the recent price changes the calculus changes for sure. Even though I live in Europe now, my subscription is stil set up in South Africa. So I used to pay the equivalent of €10 per month for Ultimate, now it's €18/mo.

I think if I were forced to relocate my subscription and pay the full real price (€30/mo), I will probably cancel and buy a €90 game evey quarter or something.

That entire channel is a goldmine of prescient industry humour. I don't know where he gets all of his material from to be honest.

There is this general vibe online that the newer generation xboxen are either bad, worse than playstation, or a straight up failure.

My series x, combined with gamepass, is by a very large margin the most at-home-entertainment bang I have gotten for my buck.

Before then I had what could be regarded as a "vintage" gaming PC: 1st gen i7 (nehalem?), a gts 450 and some amount of ram. An upgrade (read: full replacement) was desperately needed. This was in the middle of the crypto gpu boom, so a decent GPU alone would've wiped my budget. I settled for an xbox as it was cheaper than a ps5.

I've always seen myself as part of the pc master race, and thought consoles to be very limited. But man, it just worked, the games just worked, and gamepass made it all a total steal.

Even now, when our 3 month old baby is settled for the night, me and my wife's preferred entertainment is a session of bg3 over watching tv.

Man, I wasted days on SU. It was incredibly addictive in a way that did not feel unhealthy.

The PS3 was incredible value dollar-to-flop, given that it was sold at a loss. This resulted in universities and other research institutes buying them en masse to create supercomputer clusters. Naturally buying thousands of consoles but not a single game puts sony in a difficult position. Although I think it's sad the hardware got locked down in later revisions, I fully understand why they did it.

What constitution?

You can't compare the two. BO is essentially an R&D firm.

Those engines aren't used in trains through. They are used in boats.

A large industrial diesel engine is about the size of a house and displacement is measured in cubic meters.

> I can't believe that I didn't think of a pipeline first.

Don't feel bad, a pipeline is just a different type of train. The tracks are hollow and the cars are molecular in size.

How do you determine voter eligibility without ID?

MkLinux was first released in 1996, and discontinued in 2002.

I would argue that things have changed significantly since then.

I happily pay for YTP, but the monthly cost is actually getting a tad rich for me, and I'm honestly considering just not using yt any more.

The terrible UX, the constant pushing of shorts, the baked in shilling, even from my favourite creators, the absolute abortion that is yt music and their attempt to merge my music listening profile and my video watching profile (I don't want fucking music videos in my video feed ffs).

There are some creators that I really like, but I won't die without their content. Maybe I need to go to something like Floatplane or whatever, pay for the content I actually consume and start pirating music again.

If apple came out with their own linux distro, with open drivers and a mainline kernel... A girl can dream!

There was a similar web-game back in the day but for tones. You had to identify which one was higher or lower. Also gave a statistical comparison at the end. Near the end the difference was a couple hertz or something, so next to impossible as well.

I can't find it now. Is anyone else aware of what I'm talking about?

0.0095 - nice.

But now I'm aware of a slightly darker vertical band on my screen, compared to the rest of the display. x_x

The sim card in a kindle was a global connect-to-any-network SIM card. Your Kindle was always online and ready to download more books no matter where you were in the world. It was legit actually useful and valuable to customers.

What's Amazon gonna do with a Kindle with an embedded SIM? Spy on the books you read? They already know that shit!

I love my Hisense TV. It was the best bang for my bucks when I bought it. Nice and big, nice and bright and 4k. I'm not a pixel peeper by any stretch of the imagination, so I'm not too fussed about having the best of the best in my living room. I've had it so far for about 5 years, and I might keep it for much longer.

That TV has not whiffed a single packet over it's network interface, and it never will. I've learnt my lesson with smart previous smart tv's (looking at you Samsung), and I'm more than happy to run outdated firmware on my TV. If it works it works.

If I buy a new tv that needs internet to get working, or the shipped firmware is buggy, then I'll take it back to the store as it's not working. Simple as.

It's manual layout. There's nothing auto in there. You add your pictures, and then arrange, crop, rotate and resize as you see fit.

I chose this approach as I reckoned I would know best what I want to with each photo I'm printing: maybe one needs to go into a specific-sized frame while another needs to fit a blank space in a scrapbook or something. Auto-layout will probably get it wrong, which will require manual intervention anyway.

This is a bootable USB memory stick with ChromeOS Flex on it.

I think you got it the wrong way round. MoltBook is for humans pretending to be bots.

I'm reminded of the potato salad kickstarter.

Like a sibling comment says, you risk the baby rolling on to its face and suffocating. All the midwives at the hospital and all the books say to not do it, but any mother in law will tell you to just put the baby on its side if it's fussy. If you challenge the MIL she'll throw the "I've raised more babies than you so I know better" remark in your face. A tale as old as time I guess.

Eventually we caved, and it really works to calm them down. But we only do it under supervision. When she's asleep we'll roll her on her back.
