Dyslexia definitely made me wonder why she was going to jail. Seems she overcame whatever was holding her parent(s) back when seems at least a little uplifting.

‘It’s That Simple’: Mark Meckler Says The Only Way To Secure The Border Is By Invading Mexico (www.rightwingwatch.org)

Mark Meckler is the president of the Convention of States Foundation and a leading proponent of the right-wing movement to get state legislatures to call for a dangerous Article V convention that will consider constitutional amendments to radically alter American government and society by making much of what the federal...

What a fucking idiotic war mongler. We should be strengthening our ties to Mexico not fucking starting a war.

Some people don’t think that far ahead. One day their gas bill will be just as bad and they’ll still complain.

Went through warranty replacement for a TV and was simply asked to write “void” and a big X on the warranty sticker. Even had the option to give the almost perfectly fine TV away (I did to someone who greatly benefited from it)

Typing this on a fold4 would just like to chime in that after a year of ownership the inner screen did fail seemingly for no reason. I was able to get this fixed but I just want to stress they do have some problems.

Partner has gone through 3 flip4 in the same amount of time though that phone is garbage.

I’m in Texas and will have to pay a $300 registration tax on my ev for it being “heavy and destructive and not paying fuel tax”. My ev is a 2018 Fiat 500e and weighs 2900lbs. I’m tired of this argument especially when plenty of trucks weigh anywhere from 4500lbs (for the smallest examples) to quite literally 80k. Raise the fuel tax and you’ll solve heavy vehicles virtually overnight.

Before anyone gets on my case I’m fully aware that not all evs are as light as mine, but plenty are lighter than an f150.

Is this in a commercially zoned area? If not shut it down, seems pretty commercial and weird to shield the “miners” from the complaints of their neighbors.

I wanna be crystal clear that even if this is a commercial zone the “mine” should be shut down.

Gen Z boys and men more likely than baby boomers to believe feminism harmful, says poll (www.theguardian.com)

I was born in 95, I’m 28 not a child by any stretch of the imagination… although if I am considered a child can I quit this whole 40 hours of work every week to barely get by shit?

I had the nickname “ratman” as a kid due to my pet rat. When I signed up for Roblox in 2008 ratman was taken and at the time Roblox would only allow you to use their suggestion as an alternative which was ratman150. The 150 has stuck since and is almost always available.

A portrait of America's young adults: More debt burdened and financially dependent on their parents (www.cbsnews.com)

Do you use the powder? How do you typically mix things up?

ratman150 ,

I’ll freely admit to skimming a bit but yes proxmox can run trunas inside of it. Proxmox is powerful but might be a little frustrating to learn at first. For example by default proxmox expects to use the boot drive for itself and it’s not immediately clear how to change that to use that disk for other things.

The noctua dh-15 is overkill for that cpu btw unless you’re doing an overclock which I wouldn’t recommend for server use. What’s your plans for the 1060? If using proxmox you’ll want to get one of the “G” series AMD CPUs do that proxmox binds to the apu and then you should be able to do gpu passthrough on the 1060.

ratman150 ,

I have a proxbox with a R5 4600G even under extreme loads the stock cooler is fine. Honestly once prox is setup you don’t need a GPU. The video output of proxmox is just a terminal (Debian) so as long as things are running normally you can do everything through the web interface even without the gpu. I do highly recommend a second GPU (either a G series CPU or a cheap GPU) if you want to try proxmox GPU passthrough. I’ve done it and can say it is extremely difficult to get working reliably with just a single GPU.

ratman150 ,

Depending on your transcoding needs you might not even need it for that.

Fortunately they still require electricity.

The matrix was built as a result of humans trying to take AI electricity by “striking the skies”. so once we try to kill AI well get the matrix and I for one can’t wait for slider Nokias to make a comeback.

I tried to watch the last matrix but it just isn’t nearly as good as the trilogy.

I’ve been using Kagi for 3 months now I think? And I’ve found it to be extremely useful for research…to a point, my only real issue is that after the first or so series of results it either doesn’t offer anything further or just no longer is showing relevant results to my search. Honestly though I’ve been very happy with Kagi and continue to pay the 10/month but if I do find something even better I’d happily switch. I’m not married to any particular search engine (well …least not to the extent of using Google services).

If you’re skeptical just give it a try I think they have a trial system in place.

Half the battle with headphones tends to be isolation. If you have decent sounding speakers but bad isolation you have mediocre at best headphones. Typically replacing the ear cups can be an option but adding speakers likely won’t yield additional quality. Unfortunately if the speakers that already are in the headphones aren’t up to snuff there won’t be a whole lot you can do. It’s important to make sure we’re talking about the actual headphones though and not the audio amplifier or the source audio.

They decided the pronouns of Texas are her? Awfully progressive, didn’t know the state of Texas could even have a gender?

Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla (www.cnn.com)

In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns....

Certain irony in these companies splitting their content and now considering merging it back.

I’m glad I could contribute to their lack of profit by simply not paying any of them.

While this could be malice it just as likely could be a complete error. I recently had to download a tool related to x11 on Firefox on windows and it also blocked the download as unsafe. Weirder still, it did this every time I started Firefox until I ended up ditching windows. No idea why.

There’s a channel “learnlinuxtv” on YouTube that is pretty good. I haven’t looked in a while but I watched their entire course on proxmox. They also create books.

Since we’re talking efficiency I’m sure you also know that several smaller consumers are gonna be far less efficient than one big consumer.

I’m not sure where you’re getting that information about a heat pump being worse than a literal fire burning furnace but that fire burning furnace is still less efficient as a small appliance than the power generation. What’s also important here is the heat pump can run on natural gas electricity, nuclear electricity, hydro etc. it is energy agnostic which the furnace is absolutely not.

Adobe acrobat has 3 tiers Free which is useless Acrobat which has 90% of everything you’ll ever need except for that one time you’ll need to censor a portion of the document which is only available in

Acrobat pro which is another 10$ a month on top of regular acrobat (20$ a month) and offers literally 2 extra features that previously were not separated.

Or you can change the highlighter to black and use that instead.

Fuck Adobe.

ratman150 ,

Realize this but my companies solution was to just print that version and scan back in the resulting version which cannot be undone. Stupid and wastful but saved us from buying a ton of Adobe licenses.

Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?

Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? I’m curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day....

ratman150 ,

3 cats with a litter robot 3 after 3 years. It’s great, easy to repair and parts are available. Save your money and buy a litter bot 3. The 4 has some improvements (it’s quieter) but has some new flaws and a pretty stiff price increase.

Also check out one man six cats on YouTube who has been doing a litter bot mega test of all kinds of brands/styles with his 7 (yes 7) cats.

I’ve been on plenty of shiny new full fairing machines and they always remind me of just how easy it is to work on my KLR. I really like that in 15 or so minutes I could probably have the bike down to whatever part I need and probably also fix it without resorting to a shop.

Back on that site that sounded like read it I asked some of these people and it just boiled down to “because I can/freedumb”.

ratman150 ,

Yeah I never understood it myself. I once had a run in with one of those “hard ass types” while on a little virago 250 and they proceeded to lecture me on the ways of the roads…which was entirely just giving them right of way always no matter what. He was annoyed at me for passing him on a 250…in traffic.

ratman150 ,

Had to look this up because I never realized there was a difference.

You are correct.
