  • I recently switched my laptop to Garuda, it's an Arch based gaming distro. It seems to mostly work right out of the box, but I did have to tweak a few steam games to force them to use my dedicated graphics.

    I guess I could go in and force steam itself to use the graphics card via env... But I only have a handful of large games at the moment. It's just as easy to set the requirement per game right now.

  • Except that several of them were...

    There was Rory Williams as the main standout, but Martha Jones was working as a nurse when she joined the show. She was still at the end of Med School, and it was a (very minor) plot point at one point when she earned her doctorate.

    Strax also counts, Well, he did until the Doctor screwed up and got him killed. The resurrected Strax was not much of a nurse.

    There were a few more who were outright medical doctors when they joined the show. One was a British Navy surgeon, and the one that might not count, the cardiologist from the Doctor Who movie, which most people sort of ignore.

  • For a specific how to, there's a bunch of firefox addons that do it, but the mozilla recommended one is this

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/

    It's super easy to use, just open it and it gives a bunch of options.

    This is my current (fake) user agent;

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

    With two or three clicks, this is my new (fake) user agent;

    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x8664 14541.0.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

    A few more clicks;

    Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; HLK-AL00) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.102 Mobile Safari/537.36 EdgA/104.0.1293.70

    And finally;

    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 1073; Trident/6.0)

    Now, that last one is making it look like I'm using internet explorer... Youtube videos will not load with that last one active. Claims my browser is too old and not supported.

    I don't know why they all start with Mozilla/5.0 but the apparently a lot of websites will block your requests if you don't have it (or a valid browser strings like it?)

  • The enderman call in reenforements to swarm the endermites, killing them all. Then if the dragon moves through the crowd of enderman, the enderman will start attacking it.

    They shouldn't aggro on you, because you didn't look directly at them.

  • You sound like someone who has never ridden a bike through broken terrain.

    I'll argue that the "flat" used by the comment above might be better taken on a more granular level. You can go up and down mountains just fine so long as there are no logs, large rocks, pits, or gullies that are in the way.

    I was doing some D&D world building a while back and wanted to really dive into transportation of people/goods and found the same problem. Tenser’s Floating Disk is a very low level wizard spell that basically does away with all but the heaviest ships and carts.

    It's the same for the trek universe. They have personal transportation methods that mean there's literally zero need for a bicycle for anything other than recreation.

    Hell, Lower Decks opens with Mariner pushing around a hover cart full of stuff. It's literally the cold open of the entire series.

    If you can have a hover cart like that, then why bother with a bike? Need to move stuff to a remote area? Get the hover cart, you don't need to cut a trail, just go over the obstacles. And that's if the transporter doesn't work if the first place to beam the people and equipment to a nearby area.

  • Small modular reactors are modern. And it's where the majority of the research is happening.

    It's a bit of a chicken and the egg situation right now. Once the factories ramp up, they'll be pumping out some of the cheapest power producers by MW ever designed.

    Unfortunately, those factories can't ramp up until the sales start coming in, and the sales aren't coming in because without the factories going full steam ahead, it's incredibly expensive to make the reactors.

    Solar and wind had the exact same problem back in the day. They just didn't have two separate lobbying groups trying to kill them off.

  • The absolute worst of the waste is done being waste within about 300 years. I'm talking about the cesium and strontium.

    Everything else that comes out of that reactor can technically go back in as fuel after a little reprocessing/breeding.

    But that's illegal now due to fearmongering in the 70s.

    About 95% of what comes out of a reactor is uranium. One percent is plutonium. The rest is a mix of cesium, strontium, iodine, xenon, and a mix of trace elements that are there, but decay too fast to even begin to capture.

    I've got an old video of the full breakdown. It includes how much those elements sell for in industrial/medical use.

  • I'll admit I've not deleted my Twitter account.

    Mostly because I've not logged in since 2013? I think I had a single tweet, and that was a reply to some event that I was personally involved in.

    Compare that to Mastodon, and I actually have followed a few people and even got into a debate about different voting systems that drew in a third party who turned it into an argument.

    So mostly a wash.

  • The key is that it doesn't actually define what "sexually explicit adult shows" are.

    But the rhetoric was saying anything and everything counted as "sexually explicit" even when the performers were in full, high necked ball gowns that they had to be sewn into. i.e. any drag show at all.

    Also, the rhetoric was about stopping the shows, regardless of the age of the audience.

  • Apparently someone did, and then the response was that tampons are low enough weight that the packaging to send them was the majority of the weight, even when sending 100, so they sent 100.

    They also developed a zero-g makeup kit because they thought that female astronauts would want that. It had eyeliner, lip gloss, foundation, and blush. All specially selected to not generate dust.

    The makeup kit never actually flew, likely because someone asked an actual woman if she would ever want that shit in space.

  • NASA is obsessed with redundancy, especially when the weight allowance lets them run away with it.

    Add that to the fact that most of the engineers were men, and had literally no clue about how many tampons are needed for a normal woman on earth, and you end up with 100 being sent up for a two-week mission.
