Subhumans are so good

This sounds pretty cool. It seems similar in concept to a different 90s MMO I already play, Clan Lord. I’ll give it a shot later, but I don’t know if I can commit to twoMMOs

How will you vote… without a mouth?

What does agent Smith have to do with anything?

That will require electoral reform

Oh that’s the curtain rod? I thought it was a latch for the door

Nah, around 2hrs is the sweet spot.

2.5 or more and I worry they’re stretching out a thin premise.

90 minutes or less and I worry that they didn’t bother to explore an interesting premise thoroughly enough.

I hate that we have smoke season now.

I would hope that 10-year-olds are celibate

I’ve been experimenting with Linux for a year now running a home server. It’s not that hard, the other person’s comment is exactly what I did.

I used Ubuntu at first but when I fried it I figured I’d try Mint on my re-install. It’s been on Mint for about 4 weeks now.

My thoughts as a still relative newbie:

On both Ubuntu and Mint, user/group permissions are confusing to me even using the GNOME tools app. I wish I there was a better UI to set it up.

My issues are mostly to do with external drives. First of all, it’s weird that I even have to specify a mount point if I don’t want to have to memorize my drive’s device ID, but I figured that out.

Then in Ubuntu I’d reboot and my server software would lose access to the drives. If I unplugged them before rebooting and let it boot then plugged them in the server software could read but not write. So I’d have to do a sudo chmod 777 -R /external drives/ after rebooting too.

I’m having the same issue with reboots in Mint if I don’t unplug them, but if I do it now remembers the permissions now so I don’t have to do the terminal command. This may have nothing to do with the OS. Maybe I messed something up the first time. 🤷‍♂️ Point is: I’m not having fun dealing with external drives.

Ubuntu didn’t come with GNOME tools but Mint did. (It’s basically a set of apps for all your system settings. Command line is so annoying for this stuff.)

Aesthetically, Ubuntu reminds me of Mac OS while Mint reminds of Windows. Apparently they’re the same-ish under the hood.

I’m a Mac user and I’m not ready to switch my daily driver to Linux yet, but I’m sure I will one day.

Does the protein disappear if you get it wet?

I don’t drive any more, but I’d start 18-speeds in 3rd and hit every 2nd gear on the way up

I care more about how little rich people pay more than I care about how much I pay. I also care about my tax dollars being wasted.

DOGE could actually be a good thing if it were actually looking through the functions of government to eliminate redundancies, waste, and leakage.

But nope, it’s run by a man child who uses his idea of economics (which is informed by right-wing memes) to eliminate government programs that actually help people and the economy.

Meh, they can practice in their room and I’ll be super proud ever time they show me progress.

So his plan is working then!

RIP. X-Factor investigations is one of my favourite comic runs ever.

Ok yeah, so you would consider it as two systems, one being the heat pump and the other being the rest of the world.

And instead of creating heat you’re moving it, so your heat pump is operating at above 100% efficiency while the rest of the world is not.

Thanks for the explanation!

How does something achieve 300-400% efficiency?

This fucks up your dry erase markers

I got the first 2 free with GwG (RIP) and the 3rd for $12 on sale.

Guess I‘m not a real fan.
