Quote from the movie w/Heston.

The uneducated are easier to manipulate. Don’t want them to be too smart for Fox News.

So all these countries forked over 1 billion USD?

Or it may have been Scopebuddy.

I also believe I had to specify the screen resolution to make it work correctly.

Yeah that’s weird. I tried to replicate it; it worked for a little while, then the game window just auto minimizes every time I try to alt tab it. I end up running my game in Windowed mode mainly so that I can see my task bar at the top and don’t experience problems that way.

I believe it was Gamescope. It’s been a while but I just looked it up again and you’ll need to add “–force-grab-cursor” in one of the fields.

I’ve switched from win 10 to mint for an old i9900k and 1080 to run Helldivers 2 and it worked so well I put it on my newest rig to replace it (9800x3d RX 9070xt) with little to no problems. It does take a little while to get things tailored to how you want. The bios clock keeps being off (but OC settings remain) so maybe the battery is dying already. Been putting off replacing it since it’ll require a bit of disassembly.

I then tried Bazzite on the i9900k and ran into a couple problems. Multiple monitors pose issues with the mouse not staying on the game and requires an applet or app to keep it contained (no issues with Mint). HD2 runs the same performance but it stutters every second or two, making it unplayable. I’ll have to see if I can troubleshoot some more or try a different distro.

Regarding alt tab, are you on multiple screens or just one?

Sure, but name one that is as big and spread out like the US? We are unique in that regard.

We are blaming you for the fact that we’re not seeing protests every day…

This is just not possible and the rich are banking on that. It would have to become much much worse before people will risk their own employment, access to medical benefits, and personal security so that we can march.

It’s easy to suggest those things but in reality it’s just not going to happen.

Oh no, as if we don’t already have decent wine here, mostly in blue states anyway.

Some of these comments are awful. Apparently, if we all aren’t wrapping ourselves and children with explosives and becoming Jihadists overnight, we’re not doing enough.

This is a class war. The rich have taken over all the checks and balances in our system to where they can break every rule and comfortably get away with it; all the while getting richer and us poorer. We’re powerless and spread too thin geographically to do anything meaningful. Maybe we do need to get that radical, but I really hope it doesn’t ever need to get to that point.

No, that is but one part. Every person here that is not Native American is by definition, an immigrant.

This is a country founded by and built on the backs of immigrants.

I don’t see it even on the browser version of Voyager, so I don’t think you’re missing out on anything.

Sounds like they’re prepping her as a possible presidential candidate.

Made butter today for the first time. Wasn’t difficult but it took some time, not a lot.

Half gallon (64 oz/1892ml) carton of 40% heavy cream from Costco makes 1 quart (32 fl oz) of buttermilk and about 2 pounds of butter by eye (didn’t scale to confirm). It all fits in a 5 quart KitchenAid mixer for the churning.

You mean just Amazon, and not Amazon Prime? The main advantage of Prime is shipping.

And in a way, you’re just describing Amazon, just slightly different. The Amazon storefront isn’t just Amazon, it’s also a bunch of smaller sellers using Amazon services, either to sell through Amazon or ship from their own facility, as well as sell from their own site. A random example would be 3D filament from Prusa. You can buy it from Amazon that ships locally (and cheaper), or you can buy it directly from their site that ships from Czech Republic.

The only thing that feels centralized to me, is their payment system. If I already have an account set up on amazon, I’ll more likely buy it through their website than one that’s not. That way I don’t have to put in my personal info into another site just to buy from them.

I was doing a bit of cleaning recently and came across a binder/collection of burned DVDs and PS2 games. The kids were young and did a lot of travel by car, which had DVD players strapped to the front head rests. I had a bunch of stuff ready like anime like Inuyasha, Ghibli, Avatar TLA, home videos, VCDs, etc. I even found my old bare bones SATA DVD player that was stripped out of the PC, and a new pack of blank DVDs too. I bought a USB enclosure and the darned thing still works perfectly on my current Linux machine.

In theory, this is how it should work, but is often not the case.

If you just buy interoperable components without taking into consideration if they’re compatible, you’re running a risk of things not fitting.

What immediately comes to mind is GPU clearance to the case, as well as to the CPU cooling solution. The CPU cooler may not also fit the MOBO you want to use, protrude too much in the case, or have clearance problems with RAM. RAM could fit, but may need to be low profile accommodate the CPU cooler. Power supplies nowadays aren’t as straight forward in compatibility as they used to, since some GPUs may require a special plug(s).

Once that’s sorted, you can assemble like a Lego set, until something doesn’t work. You’re your own support person, so you need to know how to troubleshoot correctly. Did you switch the power supply on? Are the components seated properly? What do the debug LEDs say?

I’m no beginner PC builder, but my current build (first AM5 system) was a nightmare. Everything worked beautifully until I seated the GPU, which was the last item to arrive. MOBO debug LED said VGA issue and no output. Long story short, and two AM5 builds instead of one, it turned out to be a faulty CPU (9800X3D).

Had I gone with what the Internet forums suggested, and with no other AM5 system available to verify, I would have sent the GPU back and still have the issue. Luckily AMD RMA process is pretty straight forward (don’t throw away your boxes until some time after you’re done with the build!) The new CPU worked as expected, but that was the first time I’ve ever had an issue with a CPU. It worked fine via on-board HDMI, but no GPU in any possible configuration with the faulty CPU using two PCs worth of components would provide output. Everything is good now, and a family member made out with a decent 7800X3D system as a present :)
