It looks like a photo filter minecraft style beard, how tf do you make an actual beard look pixilated? Look at the outer edges

A shade away? They openly claimed it with a giant fucking banner saying “we are all domestic terrorists”

It takes a special kind of stupid to make a bomb threat in proximity to military installations.

AFAIK, 3d printed guns still need machined metal components to not, y’know, explode in your hand?

Canr forget the ziplock full of ice cubes

It doesn’t matter if one is more affordable than the other if NEITHER IS AFFORDABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Double minimum wage (pre-tax, pre-bills) as a starting basic car price, is not affordable (No, i do not consider needing an auto loan “affordable”.).

A RAV4 is still a blunt-ended higher-sitting vehicle that puts pedestrians under a car rather than up and over like a sedan.

Half the major auto manufacturers DONT MAKE ANYTHING SMALLER. Ford discontinued every model of sedan.

And that’s not getting into the whole “a brand new car starts at almost 30K on the low end” affordability issue.

Install app from native app repository of chosen Linux distribution.

I’d love an upgrade for my 2080 TI, really wish Nvidia didn’t piss off EVGA into leaving the GPU business…

Kansas is a pretty state to drive through, I’d be willing to bet Colorado is too.

That and a MASSIVE amount of Oklahoma and Texas is empty flat land that is probably (relatively) easy to offroad if absolutely necessary.

That honestly sounds like a safety issue, if you can lose control of how many rounds you might fire in a direction

Oops, the company we outsourced the software development to went under!

We’re soooooorry

That and running games in a VM has been known to get you the banhammer for multiplayer.

We definitely don’t need more Andrew Tates in the world.

TIL. Electroplating is cool stuff

I mean… actual gold isn’t crazy valuable these days, is it? It’s used in quite a bit of electronics for its corrosion resistance and conductivity IIRC.

I actually tried linux (Fedora) this past weekend; I had fewer issues installing and using it as a day to day computer, than I did with Windows. Tried out Gnome and KDE both, preferred gnome but UI scaling (for my shit vision) was simpler out-of-the-box on KDE (about 125-150% was comfortable for me.) I found KDE a bit overwhelmingly customizable to start out with, and maybe a bit bloated.

The caveat to this was Gaming, in my case I did not have a good time with gaming (probably because I am trying to run at 4k and play a game dependant on Ubisoft DRM, as well as an older MMO that doesnt handle high DPI screens and ui scaling). Very frame-y at 4K, a decent amount of tinkering is/was required. YMMV, check ProtonDB as it is heavily dependent on what games you play, and heavily dependent on Steam. If you want to multi-box (without software, just alt-tab through windows) an MMO, I found functionally no information on how to open multiple instances of the same game to do so (which is why I mentioned the dependency on steam, which only seems to let you have one game launched at any given time)

Moving back to windows for gaming felt like a major downgrade as far as general computer work goes. Inside of an hour I had a fully functional, up to date, linux machine. Windows 11 took 1-2 hours to install and update itself, then another hour to install drivers, then longer to de-bloat and start disabling all the stupid shit from Microsoft. I’m sure I’ll be doing that continuously for the next few weeks.

Its probably the only institution of the US that the poem inscribed on the statue of liberty actually applies to.

Most people outside of that description are drawn in by nationalism.

It gets repeatedly threatened; transgender people using medical benefits for affirming surgeries were kicked out under trump IIRC; it wouldn’t surprise me if pregnancy related care (and othe reproductive healthcare such as vasectomies, histerectomies, tubal litigation, etc) also gets axed under a potential trump presidency.

Education benefits are a sticky one. I genuinely think cutting that would lead to revolt if medical benefits don’t. That’s a huge draw. It gets some people out of a shit situation, and gives them an education to get a good job to avoid going back into that situation.
