quicksand,

I think the italics were pretty clear labeling

quicksand,

Bragging about paying a porn star for sex while your wife is at home nursing your newborn is a helluva power move. I wonder why more people don’t do it?

quicksand,

As an American, I would definitely use poorly in this context. But since it seems they’re an English speaker learning French, I think it makes sense to say badly. It’s a more direct translation for mal, the word they’re learning

quicksand,

I do but only at home. I’m not tryna clean up my misses lol

quicksand,

Yeah but think of all the takeout meals it would cost for the divorce

quicksand,

Kind of tangential, but can you do local multiplayer when emulating the switch on a steam deck. Like can you have a 4 player Mario kart game?

quicksand,

Latex gloves also work alright in a pinch

quicksand,

Yeah definitely never put a stripped screw back in. Replace it or just leave it empty

quicksand,

I think he may have just woken up in a good mood today. Took a peek at his profile and it looks like a person

quicksand,

Neither TSMC nor Samsung ever produced chips in North America in the first place

I’m not sure what you mean by ever? Samsung’s been making chips in Austin for almost 30 years.

quicksand,

Ohh I misunderstood your other post.

I agree with your main point. I don’t think international manufacturers would find value in spinning up new fabs here just to make chips for the DoD. But it does make me curious how big of a chunk defense is vs total. I would guess it’s pretty small. Chips are in everything, it’s not like these aerospace guys where DoD is their cash cow.

quicksand,

Hope you get an employee discount too. I loved that when I worked at Sprouts. Of course they maxed me out at 39.9 hours every week. So I kinda got a discount in lieu of healthcare, but still, I liked the perk

quicksand,

I feel like there’s very few people who could design and build their own brain implant chip. Even in the far future

quicksand,

It’s just not something you can do in your garage these days (or for the past few decades), even if the designs were open sourced. I like your idea and wish there was less concentrated power in chip manufacturing, I just don’t think it’s very feasible.

Semi-Portable Engineering Rig

Hey Lemmy, I need some recommendations for a CPU-intensive slightly mobile rig. I run a lot of engineering simulations and I need a computer that I can move between my home and work on a semi-frequent basis. I’m looking for something more powerful than a laptop and I’ll have monitors/peripherals at both locations. Maybe a...

quicksand,

This seems like a good option, assuming your work will let you access remotely. It’s honestly surprising to me that they’d let you bring your own hardware back and forth and allow it on the network.

quicksand,

I agree with you. The only issue I have is that some “important” things have much less extra money to dedicate to raising wages than less important things. The amount of profit isn’t always in line with the importance of a thing I guess. But if it’s that important then I guess government subsidies would be able to fix that gap

quicksand,

I was responding to your description of how free markets work

quicksand,

You’re thinking of John McCain. I disagreed with most of his principles, but respect the fact that he generally stuck to them. Our perspectives and politics were very different, but he seemed to have good character

Australian man dies after being bitten by highly venomous snake while trying to remove it from child care center (www.cbsnews.com)

An Australian man has died after being bitten by a highly venomous snake while trying to remove the serpent from a childcare center in an effort “to keep the children safe,” local media and emergency services said Wednesday....

quicksand,

People are not responsible, that’s what led to the situation in this article

quicksand,

I’ve got no problem with weed or driving high responsibly. But your argument was that people can be trusted to act responsibly and I was refuting that.

quicksand,

You’re right, but I do appreciate getting GTA V for $0. They’ll never get a cent from me but I’ll take their games. I’m also running Windows so nothing about my gaming is free-as-in-air anyways

quicksand,

No no no, you should just keep throwing ad hominems at people and whining. Don’t you understand what they’re saying!?

quicksand,

Ya Shaq should have gone and cut his toes off so he can fit in regular shoes.

quicksand,

You’re right on. They even come with a spice packet to mix into melted butter

quicksand,

Anyone have some for Android? I’m playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon right now but haven’t found more

Edit: Dungeon not hero

quicksand,

Man that game is so clunky. Can’t get it to work on my phone

quicksand,

I use a fire stick because I’m familiar with them and they are much better than the shitty OS built into my TVs. Is there an alternative you recommend? I’m open to changing, especially with how theyve been pushing ads and paid rentals lately

quicksand,

Sounds like what Samsung is doing with Dex

quicksand,

Thanks for the info! It’s incredible how much the quality of batteries and chargers vary. It’s good to know a cheap easy place to get them
