  • I'ma say it: Spinning disks are still a good choice for gaming. I wouldn't run my OS off one, but I would and do install my games library on one.

  • Biden says β€˜we did well,’ no concerns about debate performance [Brett Samuels | 06/28/24 | The Hill]
  • Going back to the 2012 VP debate is a ride. Martha Raddatz a competent moderator. Joe Biden showed that he and Obama weren't just better candidates than Romney/Ryan, but that they were good candidates in general.

    Biden has declined a lot in the last 12 years. Hell, he's declined a lot just in the last 4. He should never have run in 2020. He could have been remembered for the Barack and Joe memes. Instead, we got stuck with this.

    I'll add that the choice is down to someone who lied about having sex with a porn star (and thousands of other things), radicalized the right, legitimized hate groups like the KKK, overturned Roe, and wouldn't mind being installed as dictator OR someone who has signed some MAJOR, groundbreaking legislation in his term. PACT, CHIPS, ARPA, Infrastructure, and Inflation Reduction Acts are all great things. Biden's administration is investing in American manufacturing, which we have basically ignored for decades, leaving the cities built around the concept to rot. The choice is clear. But damn, man, it could be so much better than this. We need more young blood in DC.

  • It was only a fish!
  • Is evolution a joke? Everything turns to crab.

  • Pride wins!
  • Most of the time, the more you say you hate or are not x, the more you actually are x.

    Or as Ron White put it...

  • Lemmy is the best social media
  • I have imagined that ever since the Reddit emigration hype ended and things settled down a bit here that the vast majority of world and shit users are mostly lurkers and not terribly vocal, as is the case on a lot of other platforms.

  • Name this band and their style rule
  • Nosey Clown Posse. They're an ICP cover band that replaces the lyrics with barking.

  • Time to move
  • One of my colleagues is a British man who just gained his US citizenship in 2021. He's been here since 2007 on a marriage visa. And prior to that, he has described the immigration process as "arduous."

    And getting married is apparently the easy way to get in.

  • The local dog park has kiddie pools by the water spigots.

    It was like 102 degrees (~39Β°C) yesterday evening (and about as humid as Vietnam), but he was SOOOOOO BORED. So I got him out of the house. He made it eleven feet into the park, pooped, and immediately went to the pool afterwards to wait for me to fill it.

  • This implies my mom isn't yet 3 years old so...

  • Not to mom shame...
  • You're asking them to think. That's your first mistake.

  • Fly, you fools!
  • When I fly, I fly from Oklahoma City. Getting through OKC is a dream. Hardly anyone flies out of here. Tix are usually cheaper flying from DFW. In my experience, you have to leave really early, maybe get a motel room, and it costs at least another $70 worth of gas to get there. It's so much extra cost and inconvenience. It's actually been cheaper overall for my wife and I to fly from OKC since we live here.

    It's like 30-45 minutes getting from your car to your boarding area. Getting through TSA is always pretty quick and easy. I can't imagine the place is solvent.

  • Have you ever owned a rare or unusual car?
  • I have a '97 Honda Prelude Type SH. For the 5th generation, only about 60,000 USDM Preludes were made. The Type SH was more expensive. There was also no automatic option for the Type SH, and since manuals were already dying in the 90s, I'd guess that they didn't even sell more than a few thousand of them.

    It's a little rough. One of these days, I'm gonna dump a few thousand bucks into it and make it beautiful. But we're working on our house and some other things first. Someone put a bunch of those bluish LEDs all over the thing. I deconverted it back to soft white halogens.

  • It's all in the past now
  • Did you know mathematicians and programmers often confuse Christmas with Halloween? That's because DEC 25 is also OCT 31.

  • I fuckin' knew it!
    • Vehicle - equipment that carries people, animals, and/or cargo;
    • Unmanned - not controlled by a single person or crew;
    • Aerial - idk this bitch is floating.

    Conclusion: Earth fits the definition of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle aka a drone. Thanks Obama.

  • Get in line.
  • Can't lose something I never had to start with

  • Which are your preferred laptops?
  • My preferred laptop is the one I have lol

    Which is an Acer Aspire V3-372T. I don't think anyone knows or cares about the model. I can't even find examples on eBay. I bought it in 2016 for grad school. It ran Ubuntu perfectly for the better of 5 years. I switched to Debian a couple months ago and it runs that flawlessly.

  • Le Murca
  • Here's something I learned from the 2005 feature film "Lord of War" starring Nicholas Cage:

    That flag is now Dutch.

  • Here's my dude. I have no idea what he is.

    Meet Sherlock. He's about 1Β½ years old and weighs 70 pounds. This guy spent two hours bouncing all over the four-acre dog park, and still wanted to play once we got home.

    We get asked all the time what he is. My wife sent off a DNA kit so maybe we'll have an idea in a couple weeks. I'm pretty sure those ears pick up shortwave radio.

    We adopted him in August. Here he is the day we took him home.

    !

    He's really intelligent. He knows a lot of commands. Most of them he does right away, but he's not always so eager to please. You just have to show him that no matter how stubborn he is, you're even more stubborn. He gets there soon enough.
