Yep, that’s why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you’re in the middle of the ocean or something.

I transferred to a new college and learned the first week of class that they required a few vaccinations I was missing. No problem, the on campus health center can provide them. I confirm with them that they accept my insurance, so I go get the shots.

A few months later, I get a bill in the mail for over $3000. Apparently the health center wasn’t in-network, so I have no idea what they meant by “we accept your insurance.” I layer learned that if I had driven 10 minutes west across the state border, there was an in-network office where those two vaccinations would’ve been completely covered.

I still haven’t paid a penny towards that bill, fuck them. I get daily phone calls from an unknown number, it’s probably collections, but I don’t know for sure since I never answer it. This was years ago and my credit score never took a hit. I’d rather die than reward these parasites with my money.

I’m pretty sure I have a tumor growing on my hip too. I’d get it checked, but between student loans, insane cost of living, and rising costs of literally everything else, I can’t afford to right now. I’m a childless engineer with “great” health insurance and a roommate, so I’m relatively well off. I have no idea why shit hasn’t boiled over yet. Makes me want to depose some CEOs too.

Are you talking about the student loans he wrote off for a small subset of people who needed it?

I’m happy for those who got it, but that’s hardly enough progress on this issue for me to give our government praise for it. Nearly all of us in the working class were still better off four years ago than we are now. Biden jacked up interest rates to address “inflation,” which increased my mortgage by around $700 a month. That’s more than what I pay in student loans, and that’s just one example.

Things seems to just get worse slower when dems are in office, not better. IAnd I’m entirely fed up with it.

They’re referring to the white buildup that happens from the aluminum in antiperspirant. Deodorant without aluminum (and therefore not an antiperspirant) won’t give this buildup.

Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.

Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven’t found a fix for it yet, so I’m effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.

I’ll continue using Linux, but I haven’t deleted my Windows partition yet.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.

So like half a tic tac and a stick of bubblegum. Got it

Sure, but only fourth grade logic is required to see why that’s wrong.

Trump: 50,000,000 votes

Kamala: 50,000,000 votes

Other candidates: 1,000 votes + 3,000 votes + 7,000 votes + …

When an primitive voting scheme is used that says “winner takes all and you can only vote for one candidate,” a vote for any other candidate is essentially the same as not voting unless the masses gather behind a single third party (which will never happen, especially with the internet).

A voting scheme more sophisticated that allows people to pick multiple candidates, in something like a ranked list for example, would make third party votes worth something. But that disrupts the status quo and doesn’t help career politicians, so we’ll never see that unless heads start rolling.

At absolute most, they risk losing the portion of users who use ad blockers because of this decision. They’ll certainly lose less, but are practically guaranteed to not lose more.

They probably determined that the additional ad revenue from those who used to use ad blockers was more than the revenue they’d lose from people leaving.

I don’t agree with it, but I bet that’s happening here. Personally, I’d be surprised if 20% or more of Chrome users have an ad blockers installed. Even fewer would use Revanced or the like.

Nice. The only ones I played were on PS1 so I’m unfamiliar with the newer ones haha

Here’s my attempt with no Googling

Edit - that’s GTA 4 not SA, I thought that didn’t sound right

They say you need to be home all day to make bread and now I see why! Lol

Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful response, we’ll try it out next weekend!

Most (hopefully all) computers in industry running outdated OSs are disconnected from the internet for that exact reason.

My girlfriend and I are on a huge sourdough kick right now, and we’d love to start making it ourselves. Do you have a recipe you’d recommend? Any tips and tricks you’ve learned from experience?

Not necessarily. Buttons and switches introduce contact resistance, which in the case of the mushy Duracell buttons, is relatively high and also dependent on how hard they’re pressed.

Ideally, the buttons are pressed very hard to ensure the entire contact area is closed, minimizing the contact resistance from the buttons. A good switch should have little resistance.

Poorly closing the contacts by not pressing the Duracell buttons very hard would result in higher contact resistance (because there’s physically less contact between both halves of the switch), which means less current flows through the strip and less heat is generated. This would look identical to a deader battery with the buttons pressed well.

Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

Gun safety doesn’t exist in sand land

This is Figaro.

ChatGPT apparently lol

Why though? I thought impedance of the human body is lower at 50/60 Hz than at DC.
