How dare he just be good, we need perfect. Get me new bath water immediately. This man has the audacity to do podcasts. Definitely abstaining my vote this year, now I’m off to enjoy my warm water ports, for the motherland.

Starseige tribes? Trackmania?


John Richardson on loading the dishwasher, and other arguments with his wife.
Probably almost got me divorced numerous times, especially the days immediately following it’s discovery.
Myself as well,
A decade ago I built custom PC’s for my family and for my neighbors, the last ten years, ever since the chrome-books became viable, I’ve suggested just going with a bargain price laptop and GeForce now for gaming, I don’t need people asking me for help fixing issues, I don’t want to chase down bugs in hardware or compatibility,
I’m not proud of losing my interest and letting my abilities be not put to use, but my time and blood pressure is better utilized in other areas. I have a 7 year old Dell laptop, a steam deck, and (until recently) an Xbox S. It’ll be nice to have something that plays my (very large) library at console quality without a subscription service/Internet requirement. I have GeForce now, but I don’t have the latency to run it.
95% of the time when my best friend and I want to play together (and that’s 3-4 times a year these days with him having a family and my starting one), we end up trouble shooting for a decent portion of our gaming time.
I’m not going to fool myself into the steam box never having any issues, as I am truly cursed (so much so that we even have unique problems with our decks), but taking Microsoft issues out of the picture would probably reduce our tech fixing instances by half.
He has the money for a full gaming rig, I don’t have the means to get one going (believe me I used to, but I don’t any more), this has already been agreed on to be a day 1 purchase in my household, and the wife gets full custody of her monster train 2 machine (“my” deck)


That’s like what my understanding of fubar was, face unrecognizable, belay any response.
Thanks Dad.
Combined with a pretty bad case of face blindness led me to telling a fellow classmate a professor was “fubar” in public…
Analytical chemist.
Educated in Marine biology, started work on the dock that developed my ability to handle bizarre hours and self motivation, used the bizarre hours to get a harvest gig in wine making cellar work where I learned to grind, used my grind and bizarre hours to do some commercial electrical installation, then did some electric meter reading where I learned the importance of attention to detail, used all of the above skills to become a winery lab technician where I got experience working with high functioning lab equipment, wanted to get away from wine so now I’m a chemist.
Life is good. I’ve been more underpaid at every step of the way, but I feel that’s allowed me to function with less stress at every step of the path.


So as a country we’re okay with our elected officials being censored by the government?
I just want to hear someone say that. Because I’m not.


I think that’s only as correct as you narrow your lense to make it.
Children incur many more expenses.
Adding an adult only increases the total 60$, adding children increases it 190$, obviously children are more expensive.


I applaud the stubbornness, I hope this was a long term thing and not an “oh I just found out I’m allergic and now I’m dead” the latter would be tragic, the former commendable (no not that, still tragic I suppose) in an incredibly stupid way.


I stopped building my own PCs over a decade ago because I was barely getting the parts at the same rate they would’ve come in a pre-built, ram was always hard to get, good deals “sold out” so quickly, and if a part goes bad it’s easier to take it to a warranty repair than it is for me to fight with the vendors myself.
My main machines recently have been low power laptops, my steam deck, and my phone, using GeForce now has allowed me to play most of my games on shit hardware, and my 10 year old games run just fine (mostly) on my 5 year old laptop.


Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?
My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release


The VR headset is going to be standalone??
That’s pretty nuts right?


They were never charged federally right?


The Trump 2 week chicken taco timeline.
He started with “solving crime in Chicago in 1 day”
Then they had a Medicare plan just a week away, but he learned that that was too close for the right wing spin machine.


1 things is for sure: The money isn’t coming back to the consumer. If they have to return any funds it’s our taxes that are going up to pay for it.
We get shafted from both ends.
And it should be as clear as constitutional crystal that it wasn’t legal to begin with.


Is this cancel culture?


Never bought into it, would never say I liked it, I’m not adverse to it, or at least I wasn’t until the USA government decided it had to be integrated into all policy making decisions.
Also I don’t feel we’ve reached the level of “intelligence” , there’s a lot of tricks that it can do, and it has vast databases to pull from, but it’s not hitting me as intelligent, and the more I read of it’s discoveries" the more convinced I am of my idea. The people using it are intelligent, and are coming up with neat ideas using it as a tool, but the models itself aren’t coming up with anything without human coaxing.
I’ve heard it’s much better to use ai as an editor regarding things you already know, than it is to trust ai to fill in the gaps of your knowledge.
Sync, what am I missing? I used bacon reader on Reddit and haven’t had too many issues with sync. But I also don’t look past the first result when I search a store.
