Yep, in the face of the infinite growth monster, anything other than exceeding expectations is seen as a failure

Fully agree with the sentiment

The fuck kind of coffee you buying haha. Even the real fancy places round here are still maybe 4 bucks for a large coffee unless you're basically making it a glorified milkshake.

Since I can almost guarantee you major publishers would not publish on steam without some sort of DRM, yeah Im fine with them having an easily crackable form of DRM. Especially since they're not exactly jumping to prevent people from doing it.

Not just the cost, but the fact that so many people are working 50+ hours a week just to survive and simply don't have the time or energy. When you've gotta pick up a second job on the weekend to make rent, you're probably not going to have any energy to go out.

You are aware the primary reason NK hasn't been wiped out is because their traditional artillery would kill hundreds of thousands in Seoul in a few hours right. It has less to do with nukes than you think.

NK doesn't have the slightest chance of winning a conflict against even a weak secondary power. They can just make sure SK loses too.

Unless you're going to somehow ensure there's no even somewhat densely populated ares within 200km of the DMZ (and continue moving it back as NK slowly progresses to better tech), they'll just switch to a different city. For reference, that's more than the entire northern half of the country

Could you? Probably. Should you? Probably not.

Realistically unless you're up for spending at minimum of a couple hundred bucks, you're not going to get a true mini-pc (unless you want to buy a NUC or something, but that kinda defeats the purpose). Any mini-itx case you'd want (<14L) is going to be around the $100 mark on the cheap end. Unless you really luck out and find a compatible used motherboard on the cheap, youre looking at another $100 minimum. Could get a used 4600g for ~$65, but it's probably not going to come with a cpu cooler if it's used. Add in a power supply that fits, that's another $140 on a good day.

Small form factor PCs are stupid expensive because it's a fairly niche market that very few people absolutely need.

What I'd personally do is find a used dell inspiron or similar for <$150 and toss that all in it

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

In that case (pun intended), your best bet would probably be to try to find a NUC (or similar) that supports expansion. I think I remember seeing some that did, but it's been a few years since I've looked into that market. I know intel stopped making them first party, so it might be a pain in the ass to find now

Why are any of you believing what the Intel CEO says about their own products when there's absolutely not a shred of anything to back it up. "Man who stands to make large amounts of money by lying lies" is not exactly an uncommon occurrence.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Except they're not promising anything other than "it's ahead". What does that mean? Only the node size is smaller? Peak performance? Performance per watt? "It's ahead" doesn't mean anything of substance and gives him all the legal leeway in the world.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

The guy could be the king of England and I wouldn't care. I don't care what he has and has not hyped in the past. Believing a single word that comes out of a CEOs mouth about a product without any proof is just foolish.

I think there's a very solid argument to be made that far fewer would be making that choice if the future didn't look bleak as hell. I would at least consider having kids if I thought there was a better than not chance that the world I leave them will be better than the one I was given.

As much as I'd love to see other states follow, I don't see how this would be relevant in any other state. It's a state supreme court ruling on a issue within their own state. Any other state trying to claim precedence would be really strange

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

It's been reaffirmed many, many times that states are allowed to do essentially whatever they please when it comes to how they run their own election, outside of discriminating against protected classes. Even if it were to get shot down, they could pass a law simply disallowing their electors from voting for Trump.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Except that's my point. SCOTUS has held that up every step of the way. Even with how absolutely fucked the current court is, I honestly doubt they're going to decide to throw state's rights to control their elections out the window, considering they'd effectively be signing the electoral college's death warrant

The super cool thing is that you're more than welcome to start your own instance where they don't block it. Or move to an existing one. Because you know, the entire point is that instance admins are allowed to run their instance how they see fit.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Correct, but that doesn't change who has final say over it. You're more than free to change instances if you no longer agree with how your current instance is being run.

Why don't rabies infected humans act like rabies infected animals

This always puzzled me. Why don’t humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there’s 2 types of rabies, “dumb” and “furious” so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Oh hey you also got bit by a kid in 2nd grade? I punched the kid that did it to me. Walk in the next day and get sent to the principals office. When I told them why I did it they tried looking for teeth marks to prove it. A solid 16 hours later.

Damn bureaucrats
