I realize that Dave Lombardo is said to be among the best drummers in the genre, but his speed polka beats piss me off more than they should.

For me, it’s “Slurpnik”. You’ll have to ask Vlad or Igor what it means, I guess.

It’s widely agreed upon that the original fresco was not particularly valuable or artistically remarkable. It’s not like somebody messed up the Mona Lisa or a Rembrandt. If I ever happen to be in the area, I’m definitely going to see the thing in person. It’s become quite a tourist magnet, and the town is happy about it.

“I cannot imagine any reason Nvidia would be pursuing this beyond really needing every possible pipeline of every possible industry to be so overflowing with slop that they can keep investors convinced there will indeed be a need for more Nvidia products in the big slop centers being built with people’s retirement funds. This has nothing to do with games, it has nothing to do with game developers, and it has nothing to do with gamers.

That pretty much sums it up, I’d say.

I hated Stavros and I miss Nick.

Fix that wire before you cause damage to your catalytic converter or worse. The sensor is important for the engine to calculate the proper amount of fuel it has to inject. Too little (lean) and too much (rich) are both detrimental to your engine’s well-being.

Cannot convert precisely right now, but in Germany I’d say gas is currently at 1,90€ per liter. That would place the gallon at 7.00 to 7.50 USD. Did the math, that’s 8.35 USD per gallon at current conversion rates.

For me, it would be a great option if my B450 board goes belly up. I have 32 gig of DDR4 installed and would prefer to keep the system operational for a couple more years with the 5700X3D.

That said, I don’t quite see why they need to introduce new boards for AM4. Inexpensive B550 has been around for quite a while now.

I am very happy with my regular X One controllers, but maybe I should get an Elite one before they disappear.

We know that it’s his third DUI case in a courtroom, but how many times did he actually sit behind the wheel shitfaced? I’d assume dozens, if not hundreds of times with varying degrees of alcohol related impairment.

So what you’re saying is if we refuse to pay for journalism long enough, the journalists will eventually give up and just work for free? Not have to travel for their investigations, eat nothing and need no private home?

I wish SR 2 was available as a technically okay version. I have the GOG edition, but that suffers from the horrendous music quality and I believe frame rate issues. I seem to remember that it’s one of those games where they tied physics to hardware clock speeds and it would never run right if you couldn’t play it on the PS 3 or X 360. I will have to look into that because I would love to enjoy all those fantastic cutscenes once again.

Still is.

It baffles me how a lot of people in the Linux bubble are simultaneously massive gatekeepers and annoyed when Windows people don’t love Linux. A lot of replies to my comment is essentially “Well, this distro is not for noobs. Have you tried not being an idiot?” They don’t realize how condescending and arrogant they sound. I didn’t take computer science classes at university, and I shouldn’t have to in order to be able to use an operating system that is not Windows, but doesn’t take more time solving problems than doing the stuff that I actually purchased my hardware for.

The “you’re too dumb” argument doesn’t help people like myself. I need an OS that is not Microslop, but still works after some setup. I’m not asking for much, just working drivers and some basic software that I use besides gaming.

Paru, aur and yay came up when I did some googling. I was left even more confused.

Yet here I am. I have been using Ubuntu and Mint for several years on my dual boot systems. Installed CachyOS on my gaming rig yesterday because I would like to ditch Windows altogether.

First install failed because it didn’t like using its own recommended btrfs. Tried again, used ext4, that worked. The system ran and I attempted to install some basic software that I currently use. VLC was easy enough, but I diidn’t even manage to install the second software, Orca Slicer. I know that CachyOS is based on Arch and I cannot use apt anymore, but I have no clue what flatpak images are and how I install or use them.

I consider myself not to be the dumbest possible Windows user, and if I can’t figure that stuff out within 10-15 minutes, I don’t know how I’m supposed to spread the gospel. If you download a .exe installer and click “Next” a few times, you usually have the software you want ready to go. Why is that stuff so hard unless said software is some small thing that’s been in the official repos for ages?

Yeah, German rail makes the math look good. On paper, the fast passenger trains run on renewable energy. But then there’s cargo trains on the same tracks, which do not.

Yeah, that’s why I decided to purchase it now. Get the old one while it’s still available and see what the new one is like.
