Ooh will we see the 95-99 percent hire mercenaries to fight the 1%'s mercenaries?

Is this gonna be a proxy civil war?

You had three homonyms in your sentence and took the bold strategy of using the same spelling for all of them but got it right twice.

66%, still passing.

Thoroughly inspect the barrel to ensure the hammer operates when there is pressure applied to the trigger.

/S please don’t do this.

Doubtful, unless Congress cycles out a lot of bad apples.

Enough Democrats would probably fight to fix the flaws in CAFE while they’re at it and not be able to get the votes to even get back to where we were last year.

I managed to find Extra History via Nebula, and it’s one of my new favorite channels…but I’ve found a lot more favorites from YouTube, definitely.

One thing I do love is finding a new channel I like that has years of backlog.

I saw earlier you mentioned it’s an Optiplex, so I’m assuming this is an onboard NIC.

I’ve never had an onboard NIC not work out-of-the-box in Linux. Wifi, sure, but usually just certain chipsets with proprietary/closed firmware. Dell usually uses Intel NICs and they’re usually pretty solid and well supported.

Check to make sure that the NIC is enabled in BIOS.

If you have/had Windows on this PC, did it work there?

Does the NIC show in lspci or ip a ?

Try an external USB NIC. Or an internal PCIe one if you’re comfortable with that.

Yep. Most of my favorite creators are on Nebula now.

The ones that aren’t get watched on SmartTube or in Brave Browser.

Oh come the fuck on.

I bought 2x 8000s and 1x 12000 last night.

Edit: Oh, just the U-Shaped. That’s good. I almost bought one of those. Mine are the old square ones.

And I bought three, because 3 of my air conditioners are full of mold.

So…if Steam is running in a Flatpak, and Borderlands is launched from Steam, how much can they even see…really?

If companies don’t push the envelope, nobody will mark it return to sender.

So…what’ll probably happen:

• Samsung does this. It is universally despised.
• A year will go by, and Google will do this. It will be universally despised.
• A year will go by, and Apple will do this. It will be loved by Apple users and despised by everyone else.
• A year will go by and it’s a part of every Android phone on the market. Apple users will accuse Android of “stealing” the feature. Everyone else will despise it.

Libertarians envision a system where everyone takes care of their own trash without regulation or municipal waste services.

Normies come in and see neighborhoods with rubbish everywhere, overrun by bears and racoons.

Not just a metaphor, it really happened.

That’s probably a side effect of some of his gender-affirming care…probably his chin job.

AMABs getting plastic surgery or hormonal treatment to appear more “masculine” are receiving gender-affirming care.

Same can be said for AFABs getting plastic surgery or hormonal treatment to be more feminine. They get way more though…permanent makeup, laser hair removal, eyebrow threading…all gender affirming care.

AI delusions are half the reason I go to work in the first place.

It’s not.

The problem is that one percent that does need Windows.

Unicorns suck in IT. It’s a small number of systems that take a disproportionate amount of admin overhead.

So IT leadership has to decide if they support a separate OS for a small percentage of users, or one OS that works for everyone (Windows).

Couple more months and that’s all we’ll be able to afford to eat.

Hitler was an evil motherfucker, but at least he looked good doing it.

Dates are grown all over the middle east. Republican congressmen are limited to just the desert states.

Chinese treatment of animals is beyond anything else I’ve ever seen.

I agree with you…but do you really think America or most of the West would be much better if not for modern animal rights activists?

Modern industrial society has such a wild disconnect from its food, and I don’t think most people would care if not for the likes of PETA et al always bringing to the front of their attention.

Myself and my kids are ovo-/lacto- vegetarian. My wife is full blown vegan. We raise a small flock of chickens for eggs and my oldest (2nd grade) loves our hens like members of the family.

You know how some of the kids bully him? By saying they’ll come to our house and eat our chickens. I think even a second-grader would know not to say that about a dog…but a chicken? Not even a thought. Even his therapist wasn’t disturbed by that until I told her that the chickens are treated more like pets than livestock.

And they should be treated better. They are beautiful, diverse creatures with their own social rules and personalities. You haven’t lived till you’ve gotten stoned and hung out with a flock of hens for a few hours.

Hence “tried”.
