  • Fuck them red neck gate keepers who come from the suburbs to work downtown for the only work they can get. We are an asylum city and we don’t want you here!

  • I love a good quantum tunneling meme.. Reduced probability, but not reduced energy!

  • I think the groundbreaking part was Dan O'Bannon’s note in the Alien script that gave us more amazing characters in Aliens.

    “At the start of Dan O'Bannon’s script for Alien, there’s a note that few other screenplays contain: “The crew is unisex and all parts are interchangeable for men or women.” It’s a line that fundamentally altered the nature of the film, affecting everything from the presentation of its characters to the way Ridley Scott and his team approached casting, and it was certainly for the best.”

  • The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens. That fucking oompa-loompa blowhard talks loud but needs to STFU.

  • I mean, I’m cool with redrawing the Canadian border… as long as we add the West Coast to Canada.

  • Just checking my recollection. G.I. Joe had the hovercraft and Cobra had the hydrofoil right? Did anyone ever make a stadium sized hydrofoil?

  • Spoiler. This is exactly what it’s like having kids.

  • I studied his work over 20 years ago. I had no idea he was alive at the time. I just figured he long gone like all the other pioneers.

  • I wish more people expressed their faith by caring for people.

  • When’s the last time you saw an engineer doing tensor calculus? And that said, whomever said Einstein wasn’t good at math has also never done tensor calculus.

  • “In this type of plant, coal is heated until it turns into coke, an ingredient used to make steel. When heated, coal releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.”

  • It’s talking about parents giving 1 year olds and 2 year olds 1-4 hours of screen time a day. That amount of screen time for developing humans who sleep for a substantial part of the day is most likely poor stimulus in my opinion. I don’t see how you are jumping to parents prone to producing developmentally delayed children. You call nature. I call nurture. But just to check, which parents are more prone to producing children with developmental delays?

  • Show me this setup in 6 weeks. I predict a disaster. I projecting my own experience… obviously.

  • So despite the recent “reactions” from LTT, and just to bring this all back to the beginning… Thank you to Gamers Nexus for doing some damn necessary journalism, which couldn’t have been done without a high level of ethical, and technical competency.

  • I actually learned to love FreeCAD, and was originally running it on windows. It’s quirky, but very powerful, and keeps improving with each revision. With that, the switch to Linux was seamless.

  • Thank you SO much for posting this. It was amazing!!

  • It’s so goddamn liberating! Enjoy the journey!! I installed Linux mint on some super old 32 bit, low powered (arm or atom processor) netbooks from 15 years ago. And it should be said that they were completely unusable 2 years after purchase, with all the extra bloat of windows running on them. Anyway, these netbooks were still underpowered for my purposes today, but I configured them to instantly boot up the sugarizer desktop learning environment, and my 3 and 5 year olds love them. Shortly after this experiment I purchased a SteamDeck, and I couldn’t be happier or more impressed. I’m not a hardcore gamer, and with a 3 and 5 year old, who could have the time? It’s perfect for the few waking minutes after the kids go to bed. Since all this, I’ve been updating more recently “obsoleted” laptops with Linux, and I can totally see my household completely switching over to Linux OS in the next 5 years. Speaking as the house IT guy….

  • Looking forward to Lemmy.world pushing the block button when it comes to it…

  • That seems reasonable. I think I’ll throw in my social security number and DNA sample for good measure… just in case they need it.
