I really enjoy the post downvotes, as if to directly demonstrate why this is a terrible idea. It was a fair question and there is nothing wrong with asking it, but people are mashing downvote anyway because they disagree.
The button has too much power already and too few people are interested in using it correctly.
I reckon, given the extent of voluntary submission to constant surveilance from corporations and the continued march deeper into oligarchy, that it’s only a matter of time until platforms that aren’t explicitly anti-privacy are going to be reframed as extremist and dangerous as a part of the global political conversation. Perhaps this will end up being the leading edge of that.
Guy selling something says buying it will make your, mother-in-law stop visiting, your kids smarter, and your dick longer, more at 11…
If you’re a gulf coaster I suppose you can be forgiven for not knowing that the density of snow can vary wildly, as well as not knowing how depth is measured. Snow as measured when falling is only measured an inch at a time because snow compacts as it piles up. So your 5.5 inch bottle may well contain more snow than fell, depth-wise.
Snow can also be so heavy and wet that it barely differs from liquid water in density. Your test is sometimes done as a high school science lab here and the average we get is closer to 3 in snow: 1 inch rain.
he’s listening old music
2006 - 07
I guess this is how my dad felt the first time he heard REO Speedwagon on the oldies station.
Not enough foil, maybe add a couple old cds.
Title is simply a lie. There are good arguments against what Nintendo does, but if you can’t make your case honestly, then you aren’t worth listening to.
Yeah, someone should tell the guy at the bar checking IDs to piss off too. And what’s with these fucks at the pharmacy demanding to see my medical license. They shouldn’t be hassling me because someone else might be writing illegal scripts.
Fair enough. Not temps then.
It would not surprise me in the least to find out a big heatmonster like those X3D chips will hit throttling temps at idle if the CPU fans stop spinning. Probably within seconds of booting. Can you check the actual clock speeds of the cores at idle/load? See if you’re geting anywhere close to your 5.whatever ghz.
I mostly stay home and don’t go outside home except for work, so please recommend something inside my comfort zone
reads as:
please tell me how to find the fulfillment I’m missing without growing or changing
To which the only reasonable response is: No.
Make something. Electronic gizmos. Wooden thingamabobs. Textile whosawhatits. Repair lawnmowers. Whatever speaks to you. Find other people who do it already, learn from them.
Better still, make a better world—find a local civic group and volunteer. Put up animal boxes. Walk dogs at the shelter. Pick up garbage. Engage with vulnerable kids. Feed the needy.
What you’re feeling is far from novel or singular. I have no idea how we as a society have managed to forget how to deal with it. It is the very reason anyone does any of those things.
This one, any mention of temps is conspicuously absent. OP should check them immediately.
help me get started
You mean help her get started, right? Science fair is for kids, after all.
As a has-been science fair dad the best advice I can give: pick a different project. If you want to build a voice activated drawing robot with her at home, go for it. Sounds like a wonderful time and a great project for a girl interested in robotics.
It’s a bad science fair project for a primary student. Science fair projects, first and foremost, need to be the entrants own work. They should be able explain the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of all the steps and actually be able to do them. “[Dad/Mom]…” can be an explanation sometimes, but not this time. Second, unless it is an ‘engineering’ fair, it need to contain a testable hypothesis that is, you know, tested. If your project does not primarily involve measuring something, it’s almost certainly not right for a science fair. Third, rein it in a bit. You have chosen a huge project. It’s the kind of thing that could genuinely take months of your time even as an experienced roboticist. At least for a young kid, pick something where the write-up is most of the work. You should be able to do 90% of the experimental work in an afternoon. It can take longer to finish, but in a ‘checking in’ kind of way; waiting for mold to grow or an egg shell to dissolve.
Not trying to be a dick, but I really believe sticking with this project is setting you both up for failure.
and there’s always weird ass bugs and issues and a ton of involuntary learning involved
The issue is not that Linux is more or less buggy/difficult than Windows. It’s that you’re conditioned to already understand Windows’ bugginess/difficulty. I dual-booted for some of xp, all of 7 and much of 10. I found once I got comfortable enough with both, there were perhaps slighly fewer deep problems on Windows, but they were always much more difficult to rectify.
But I understand if you don’t want to take the time to get to that point, learning isn’t for everyone.
Everything Microsoft has been doing for years now is aligned in the direction of jamming as many subscription services down our throat as they can manage, whether we want them or not. They are not alone in this by any stretch. Cloud based hardware definitely fits neatly into the current tech zeitgeist.
I started the ubuntu path on warty, was a distro vagrant after unity arrived, switched to debian a while which was and is fine, decided to give manjaro a shot and couldn’t stand it, but oh how that AUR made me swoon. Finally worked up the nerve to lose the training wheels and try just arch, got tired of the immense chore that it became and found EndeavourOS.
I cannot recommend endeavour highly enough. It’s exactly what I always wanted and as long as they don’t completely shit the bed somehow I doubt I’ll ever leave. I can’t speak to your hardware concerns, as I went full team red with common hardware for my last few builds because I knew they would have linux on them. The arch wiki is great. The forum exists. They have a plasma version.
The only games I have been unable to play are those that have shitty anti cheat software and the occasional very recent release, but those usually get resolved in a hurry. Genuinely no complaints.
That’s because BMI is actually pretty good as a screening tool. It’s easy, simple, and pretty damn accurate when combined with an eyeball test. To the extent that it misclassifies people it is far more likely to underclassify obesity than overclassify. The people complaining just don’t want to hear it.
I hope they’ve written a very broad definition of social media.
The problem is turning off wifi doesn’t actually turn off the wifi, it just stops a subset of packets being broadcast and won’t trasmit any data you want it to send. Among other things this is how ‘find my device’ works with the wifi and bluetooth “off”. They’re actually on.
Wage workers fill out a form with their employer called a W-4 that lets the employer determine the appropriate amount to deduct in tax and pay to the IRS for you.
Many people have additional sources of income though, some of which will pay tax for you, some of which do not. Each Year when you ‘file’ your taxes you gather all that information together and pay any outstanding balance. (or receive a refund for overpayment). The form is called a 1040 and comes with a workbook that walks you through everything. It includes very large tables where you can look up the tax amount to avoid having to calculate it as well. If your tax situation is fairly straightward an eighth grader could probably do it.
