  • This is the FCC = Federal Communications Commission. I don't know the origins but as long as I've been aware they've been a 5-member panel; 3 commissioners from the president's party and 2 from the opposing party. They're supported by hundreds of staff members.

    FTC = Federal Trade Commission, a completely separate body. They recently made headlines for banning non-compete agreements.

  • Plot twist: the marriage offers are all from a single obsessed stalker.

  • But notice if you please

    that AT-ATs

    have mammal-like, rotating

    flexible knees

  • I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you're European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that's technically a dino meal too.

  • These salads to me feel like they send a message. Like "Mix it yourself, peasant, and good luck keeping it all in the bowl when you do. By the way 95% of it's just iceberg hidden under the toppings."

    Don't get me wrong, the orderly layers are aesthetically pleasing. And it actually looks like romaine or green leaf here which is nice.

  • Sir, I believe your Texas is leaking.

  • I have the total opposite experience. Ubuntu, Endeavour, SteamOS. Gaming on Linux has been great in the last 2 years especially. Shader caches are a very small price to pay for having a system that doesn't crash due to Windows driver BS and being able to reinstall and keep my home directory intact.

  • Haha. Vindication for my art history minor!

    And sure, hugs are always good! In fact we should all be a lot nicer to one other. After all, none among us is ultimately getting out of this mess alive.

  • The sphinx, as a type of chimera, represents a bridge between life and death (or for the ancients, this life and the afterlife). It will judge you and all your vows whether you like it or not.

  • Have you seen it at a theater? Having a screen that makes the T. Rex actual size and a quality sound system that shakes your seat with every stomp really adds a lot to the experience. This goes for the other dinosaurs too of course.

    Obviously some of the moment-to-moment plot is corny and contrived, and the big screen won't fix that. Though for me that just puts it alongside campy adventures like The Goonies (another film I love).

    However the larger themes (e.g. cloning extinct creatures, a capitalist shithead developing an attraction that endangers everyone) seem more realistic today than ever.

  • Oof, yep, that's all it was. I just fired up Elden Ring and it runs great under X11. Thanks a million!

    I'd heard Wayland and Nvidia don't play nicely together, but forgot KDE had officially made the switch. I'm sure I approved the install a while back but probably assumed it was all stable and compatible now. Guess that's what I get for not reading the release notes!

  • Install Linux From Scratch (LFS). Then you can give it your own flavor instead of someone else's.

  • This looks super helpful, thanks!

    I'm a little nervous about swapping entirely over to nouveau for testing (well, moreso switching back) but I'm sure I can find a guide.

    Update: No need, the problem was just Wayland vs X11.

  • Thanks, I'll try that. I figured an update would fix it by now (it's been a few weeks) but maybe I do need to roll back.

    And yes my other machine has an AMD card. This will be my last one from Nvidia since I've fully switched to Linux.

  • I'm running Endeavour OS (KDE Plasma) and ran into a weird issue with my graphics. It's like windows sometimes flicker and flight with each other, some fullscreen videos won't play and just lock to a gray screen instead (e.g. in Steam, though YouTube is oddly fine), and most 3D games are super choppy and unplayable.

    I'm not asking how to fix this, I just want to know how I start troubleshooting! I haven't done anything special with my system, and I think the issue started after a normal pacman update. My GPU is a GeForce GTX 1060.

    Any suggestions to get started? I don't even know if the issue is Nvidia drivers, X, window manager, KDE, etc.

    EDIT: The problem was Wayland. Fixed by logging in with X11 instead!

  • No, sorry for the mixup. I don't know who labeled this. The shadow here was from my massive dong.

  • That's what happens when nobody's been waxing the crescent.

  • Bloodninja69 decided to manhandle the hamcandle while playing Sorority Anime Sluts 9

    Too much friend info; dial it back, Steam!
