Oh what is a good deal exactly? Everything is fucked.

Fw: Canadian Government

Some of them genuinely seem to be in some weird form of denial I can’t understand. I lost a friend from his slide during covid who would fit this. Self identified moderate who only ever defended right wing views and the worst of the grifters.

There’s bazillion of these videos, but here’s a good recent one (with benchmark) about the Frankenboards that’s under 10 min:

It’s not the same of course, but Cost of Living is a disaster here too, it’s why the youth are moving rightwards probably dooming us too unless Carney turns this shit show around.

I’m curious on the responses as potential long term strategy to stay in this hobby without financial ruin, but frankly I just got more creative sourcing parts.

Aliexpress mobile CPU frankensteined onto desktop micro ATX. Staying with 1440p. Buying used parts. Last gen GPU for 1440p has been fine. But that’s Canada, I know Australia is even worse off with tech prices.

Humans don’t plan ahead for preventables and get angry if you diminish current QoL for long term safety. We know this. Earth getting a direct hit solar flare ends civilization. There’s no divine safety guard rails, we’d just be fucked. Probably not extinction though. Just a lot of violence, extremism, and starvation getting to that point of very diminished stability again.

I like your use of “when” because it is fairly likely to happen one day. It already has, and Morse code had just been invented IIRC. Not that long ago, just wasn’t a big deal then.

Did you hear the news about definitive proof of rogue black holes? Billions of them exist in the milky way it is thought now zipping around fucking shit up.

Does it matter?

I don’t mean that in a dismissive way. Actually think about it.

Martin Luther complained about rampant pedophilia centuries ago. Expecting change at this point…

Ah I did similar with a broken furnace logic board from 2004. Carrier still made the boards, but wanted $250 and none of the components used on the dang thing justified that besides them knowing most people have no choice in the moment.

Haha damn. What type of cat out of curiosity?

I’ll try a stew this year. I have a garden, just never had them in mind before lol.

It’s great advice, and realistically how any serious attempt at a workshop or garage starts off unless you’re filthy rich.

I was expecting a rubber dome switch to have turned into goop from the rubber going bad. I wonder what the blue goop was. Slurpee? Haha.

I’m almost afraid to ask how much cat hair it took to be surprising.

I just realized I’ve never eaten a beet on purpose that wasn’t pickled.

Sorry, I had to.

I smoked for 11 years on and off, stopped for 1 again (I’ve stopped before) so far, and still get an urge now and then. Maybe it’s lifelong or takes decades to never feel it again, never looked into it.

Easy to start smoking. Just live a life where you want to die every day for awhile and have somebody offer you a smoke during a break at work. Oooh, overly specific! I’m in a better place these days. Pretty easy to stop honestly the withdrawal isn’t particularly powerful. Buuut it’s persistently there waiting for a day of weakness. Much much harder to stay quit.

I disagree. It’s distracting and that likely does net some customers.

So I guess the media is too lame to say crash out like the kids these days, so they’re overusing “melt down” instead these days.

Gonna turn it into SLAMMED and devalue the word.

Me, My, and I.

Conservative? Of course.
