I guarantee you will summon a number of daemons running any of them though!

I haven't lived at the same address but I now live in a small enough town I've seen deer, turkeys and bald eagles from my yard, but I grew up in the suburbs where a raccoon was the wildest thing I ever saw

complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

See also: folks who insist on collecting all grass clipping when they mow. It's free fertilizer that helps save some water. Some folks care too much about a golf course lawn that they fail to realize the obvious benefits to slight adjustments to their practices

Bald eagles have made a resounding comeback after nearly being hunted to extinction around the '30s and '40s. If you live anywhere near the Mississippi you'll probably see tons of them.

I once nearly hit one with my car. Coming around a blind corner there was a giant ass bald eagle in the middle of my lane. Seriously it took up the entire driving lane and was about as a big as a small car with it's wings partially out while it chowed on some prey

It would be hilarious if Trump's, Israel's and Iran's actions end up triggering significant climate action out of the sheer cost of continuing to burn oil. The last fuel crisis in the 70s actually caused significant amounts of research into alternatives and some interesting electric vehicles were actually released during that time

You laugh but several members of Congress bought stocks in defense contractors shortly before this military operation

This comment is already 60% of the way to being a Conksat post

Given the extremely high cost of eating out compared to buying some frozen shit/random stuff for quick lazy meals at the grocery store I don't think that makes financial sense. On the other hand I'm not going to fault people for choosing to eat out/eat delivery because they like it and can afford it

Everyone dunks on Apple for throttling older batteries but the fact is this was super pro-consumer move. It prevents the phone from randomly powering off because the SOC tries to pull a burst of energy that the battery is too tired to output, and resets following a battery replacement, plus nobody notices the throttling except under synthetic benchmarks where you actually have performance numbers to see the handful of percentage points of performance difference. AND after this kerfuffle they added a toggle switch where if you so prefer random instability on an aging battery over 2% slower turbo performance you can choose to have that.

Should see an old 6th gen i5 mini PC on a power monitor. It's basically nothing!

If you go near college housing there's usually a given day of the year (either moving day or an official cleanup day) when tons of people put out stuff they don't want to bother with keeping/moving. It's Hippie Christmas baby!

About to be? The bottom has been falling out for desktops and laptops on processors not on Microsoft's supported list for the last year or more. I've seen roughly the same system go from ~$200+ down to under $100 on the last year based on eBay pricing alone

I think it's secretly Khajiit's new marketplace for wares if you have the coin

eBay, work, friends/family, friendly ask of your work's IT person, or just call up the local recycling/ecycling company and ask

Jesus 25W is about what a miniPC would consume at a constant 30-50% load!

Honestly, if you're in the States I have a bunch of HP ProDesks that my wife would be very happy to see disappear from our basement (I bid on an auction I didn't expect to win lol). I'd happily send one for the cost of shipping

Power consumption is a massive reason to really not do that. Its cheap for a reason, its takes a shitload of power to be shit and you will pay more in energy than you save in hardware unless its only powered on for short periods of time

Ewaste computers actually tend to be on par if not better than an RPi in power consumption these days. It might feel like a RPi should be more efficient given the size and USB power connector, but modern Pis consume a solid 10-20w while in use which is more or similar to most miniPCs (they idle at single digit watts now and can "race to sleep" more effectively than a Pi) while costing about the same and the Pi is far less upgradeable

Well, it's quite simple really:

1. Kick has very little moderation. Pirate streams and gambling streams abound on Kick
2. The worst people who got banned from YouTube and Twitch continue to stream on Kick and who wants to be associated with that?
3. Kick is owned by a gambling company. Seriously think about it for more than 10 seconds, the service is entirely built on AWS which costs so much even Twitch which is literally owned by Amazon can't turn a profit. Venture capital ain't handing out free money to super unprofitable companies right now so they clearly are making money somewhere, and that somewhere is gambling
