Thank you for spreading awareness! He owes me $5!

Should be pretty easy to figure out the mod responsible, especially since it's across multiple instances.

Either way, I'm really not a fan of mods just banning someone from every single comm they mod. If you want to be an admin, make your own instance please.

Oh, ol spiky flappy fucker. My late grandfather loved growing succulents, and when I was a teen he "gifted" some to my parents by just planting small clippings he brought with him in their flower beds. Lovely flowers and bushes arranged to mimic home and gardening magazines, with some mean spiky fucker just sprouting out of somewhere random near the edge. It looked ridiculous and always made me smile. Little intensely angry gremlins perched on the side of flower arrangements.

The best part was watching my poor dad try to dig them up and put them in pots so they could be out of the flower beds and shoved inside with the indoor plants, at my mom's request. It'd look like my dad had it stable, then the whole cactus would tip over and get him like there was some small imp in it that just wanted to prick him. I think the third time he finally started using bigger pots so they'd just collapse on the potting soil instead of his hands.

Had one that looked like this for quite a while that never made it insidd the house. Think it finally died one winter when we got stuck with a few feet of snow for a week or more.

So if I kill a giant dude causing trouble, I don't have to pay taxes? Score!

Pretty much. A lot of Christians use it as a parable about the having courage, and that the "weak" don't need to fear the "strong". I think the better message is "use the right equipment for the job, and don't miss".

Don't make someone (even a landlord, but it would most likely be their maintenance person) have to find a decomposing corpse. Not cool.

If it helps, ToTK has an entire additional second map underground, and another roughly half filled map of sky islands.

Almost certainly multiple in that sort of setup

True, but don't discount the potential importance of sex to a adult romantic relationship or your partner.

For some people (like myself), I tend to take a lack of it as a significant indicator that I've done something egregiously wrong and/or that my partner doesn't feel any desire towards me anymore.

And please, if your partner has talked to you about feeling there is a lack of physical intimacy, sex, or desire: "I wouldn't let you fuck me if I didn't want it" is an absolutely soul crushing response to trying to tell someone you don't feel desired because you always have to initiate and they don't touch you during sex without being prompted. It's not meant to be something where one participant just passively "lets" it happen.

If it's not obvious, I have scars on my soul regarding this.

Wow, that's just stupidly edgy. Definitely like this edit better.

I'm surprised that they hadn't been using that data until now.

I feel like some words may have been added to that "quote" over time

I promise we're good for it guys!

I'm absolutely amazed that Altman isn't considered toxic waste by now financially. He was declared untrustworthy by his own board, and as far as I'm aware OpenAI has fallen short of every known business agreement so far. They have so many deals contingent on shit they haven't delivered and can't deliver that it should make any risk analyst's head spin.

 

Figured I'd toss up a quick whine thread.

Daughter skipped her nap and is peak obstinant today. Having to "trick" her into following the schedule.

"I don't want bath! I want read book!"

We'll read some books in bed after your bath sweetie.

"Noooooooo!"

Well I'm gonna get a bath, see you later.

"No! No I want baaaaath!"

Just max threenager today.

 

Like traveling back in time via blunt force trauma to the head

 

If you like video game music, you already know this one. But this cover using real instruments is one of the best I've heard of this composition.

Man, I am so overdue for a CT replay. Just have to choose between my copy for DS or the "Plus" romhack.

 

The band has been described as doing metal/fuzz/stoner rock. This is from their album Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2. Part 1 and 2 make a complete story.

Humans escaping from a dying earth about to be devoured by the titular wizard, ship crashes with only one survivor. This track is the survivor trekking across a desert.

Will probably post a couple more from them.

 

Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.

Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler

Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.

Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.

Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:

There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.

This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.

Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.

I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.

 

An absolute classic youtubepoop. Can't believe it's 17 years old.

Just about any line from this activates me like a sleeper agent. This is going to be stuck in my head for a month, at least.
