They're referring to the white buildup that happens from the aluminum in antiperspirant. Deodorant without aluminum (and therefore not an antiperspirant) won't give this buildup.

Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.

Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven't found a fix for it yet, so I'm effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.

I'll continue using Linux, but I haven't deleted my Windows partition yet.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.

So like half a tic tac and a stick of bubblegum. Got it

Sure, but only fourth grade logic is required to see why that's wrong.

Trump: 50,000,000 votes

Kamala: 50,000,000 votes

Other candidates: 1,000 votes + 3,000 votes + 7,000 votes + ...

When an primitive voting scheme is used that says "winner takes all and you can only vote for one candidate," a vote for any other candidate is essentially the same as not voting unless the masses gather behind a single third party (which will never happen, especially with the internet).

A voting scheme more sophisticated that allows people to pick multiple candidates, in something like a ranked list for example, would make third party votes worth something. But that disrupts the status quo and doesn't help career politicians, so we'll never see that unless heads start rolling.

At absolute most, they risk losing the portion of users who use ad blockers because of this decision. They'll certainly lose less, but are practically guaranteed to not lose more.

They probably determined that the additional ad revenue from those who used to use ad blockers was more than the revenue they'd lose from people leaving.

I don't agree with it, but I bet that's happening here. Personally, I'd be surprised if 20% or more of Chrome users have an ad blockers installed. Even fewer would use Revanced or the like.

They say you need to be home all day to make bread and now I see why! Lol

Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful response, we'll try it out next weekend!

Most (hopefully all) computers in industry running outdated OSs are disconnected from the internet for that exact reason.

My girlfriend and I are on a huge sourdough kick right now, and we'd love to start making it ourselves. Do you have a recipe you'd recommend? Any tips and tricks you've learned from experience?

Not necessarily. Buttons and switches introduce contact resistance, which in the case of the mushy Duracell buttons, is relatively high and also dependent on how hard they're pressed.

Ideally, the buttons are pressed very hard to ensure the entire contact area is closed, minimizing the contact resistance from the buttons. A good switch should have little resistance.

Poorly closing the contacts by not pressing the Duracell buttons very hard would result in higher contact resistance (because there's physically less contact between both halves of the switch), which means less current flows through the strip and less heat is generated. This would look identical to a deader battery with the buttons pressed well.

Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

This is Figaro.

ChatGPT apparently lol

Why though? I thought impedance of the human body is lower at 50/60 Hz than at DC.

I haven't, but I'm also an electrical engineer so I'm pretty familiar with the issue haha

Fun thing you can do, is open your mouse and look up the PN of your switch on DigiKey. Filter for components with the same package/footprint, then sort by actuation force. Get a few different ones and try them out. They sell good brands there.

I play a lot of shooters, so my left click is real easy to press, and my right click is ~3x harder.

If you have basic soldering skills and care enough to do this, the mouse buttons can be replaced for less than a dollar each. Not that this excuses Logitech's poor QA, but my g502 g305 will last damn near forever if I keep replacing the switches like I have been.

Thanks for the reminder that English is dumb

Which includes practically all gun related content lol.

Most gun channels make their income from sponsors, who are companies in the firearms industry.

This is just Google's latest act of garbage, over-reaching, corpo censorship. Fuck em.

If I was a registered Democrat in Texas and actively didn't want Beto to win because of his anti-gun stances, why would I vote for him in the gubernatorial? I can't vote R, so best thing I can do is just not vote.

Biden is much less likely to succeed in pushing national level bans compared to Beto and state level bans, so voters who didn't vote for Beto might've later voted for Biden.

Also, presidential elections simply have a higher turnout.

These things are downright goofy. I tried to get one in IL, but they outright ban guns made from pot metal for some reason. Screw poor people I guess lol
