  • Hegseth Flies in Every General to Hear Him Rant About Beards

  • I don't think pissing off the entire military leadership with something that didn't need to be said (or could have been an email) is going to make them particularly keen to support you...

  • Furious Elon Finally Addresses Why He’s in New Epstein Files

    Jump

  • "is this still happening" may suggest that he said yes and that Epstein wasn't sure if he'll still come, maybe did you a scheduling conflict or something. The word "still" in that sentence is potentially saying a lot. We also have lots of other evidence showing that Musk is a creep so there's an established pattern.

  • I highly doubt that Russia is just standing on the sidelines not stoking the fires via bots on social media

  • 'Millions of lethal doses' of heroin were actually 99.999% water in federal 'drug' bust

  • The ATF dude who showed off the haul didn't know how to insert a magazine into those "rifles"

  • TIL a human chimpanzee hybrid was possibly created in 1967

    Jump

  • I'm far from an expert but from what I understand, it's hard to really define the generic similarities since it's not a contiguous chunk of DNA that's the same. It's piecemeal and fragmented. So it makes sense that even the experts in the field would have arguments about it. Nonetheless it does seem like the three of us are closest, but the specifics are still being researched.

  • https://www.science.org/content/article/bonobos-join-chimps-closest-human-relatives

    Article from 2012:

    Chimpanzees now have to share the distinction of being our closest living relative in the animal kingdom. An international team of researchers has sequenced the genome of the bonobo for the first time, confirming that it shares the same percentage of its DNA with us as chimps do. The team also found some small but tantalizing differences in the genomes of the three species—differences that may explain how bonobos and chimpanzees don't look or act like us even though we share about 99% of our DNA.

  • A Russian MiG-29 fighter jet rolled away and crashed into a fence in Yerevan, Armenia.

    Jump

  • Armenia is part of Russia?

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, can I game on Linux?

    Jump

  • It seems to vary. I had few issues with my 2080Ti but my friend had nothing but issues with his 3070. He switched to an AMD card and it worked without issue. Nvidia doesn't put nearly as much emphasis on their Linux support as AMD does, but that doesn't mean that Nvidia cards aren't usable.

  • Valve pulls GPU monitoring tool from Steam after claiming it's more accurate than Windows Task Manager

    Jump

  • Considering that they paywalled changing your background in Windows 7, it wouldn't surprise me.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • Mint. I've been happy with it. I'm more familiar with debs/apt/Ubuntu so I wanted to stick with something familiar but didn't want to use Ubuntu. It's worked very well for me for gaming. I just upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia card to an AMD card which, aside from having to manually install the drivers from the terminal, has worked very well.

    What are you zero-brain go-to recipes for the hard days?

    Jump

  • Super zero brain? PB&J sandwich. Or a deli meat sandwich.

  • They're getting desperate.

  • AFAIK, cremains are inorganic and don't nourish anything

  • Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start.

  • You mean Stephen Hawking?

  • how is linux for gamers?

    Jump

  • I switched full time to Linux last year and primarily use my computer for gaming. It's been great. I play games through steam so YMMV with other systems. I haven't had any issues playing a variety of games such as Factorio (built for Linux), GTFO, Horizon: Forbidden West, PEAK, Ready or Not, Plate Up... It's been rare for me to have an issue. I remember an issue trying to play Plate Up via steam remote play.

  • This happened to me in Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

  • It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.

    Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix

  • Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about?

    Jump

  • Blockchain is just a ledger. Most systems don't need a ledger, they need a database. It was a solution looking for a problem in most cases and the marketing/business types don't listen to the engineers if the engineers are even in the room.

  • TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail.

    Jump

  • When I interviewed at a company some years ago, the commute would have been ~an hour on a normal day (potentially longer if I did park-n-ride). I was very forward about wanting to only come into the office once or maybe twice a week. The manager I was talking with brushed off my commute time by basically saying that the commute wasn't that long and he knew others that commuted much longer. That was a huge red flag for me and I did not proceed with them. I don't care what others will tolerate. If management is going to ignore concerns like that, I don't want to work there. It was really apparent that he wouldn't let me work from home more than maybe once a week if I was lucky.

  • Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter

  • One of the things I've always remembered about Decent was when you put in cheat codes it would play a little sound effect of someone saying "cheater..."

    I used to strip as a single mother AMA

    Jump

  • How do you view yourself/your decision looking back? Do you have any regrets?

    Is it a direction you would recommend for others?

    What is something that the average person doesn't know about stripping that you wish they did know?

    Are there any particularly interesting or funny stories that you want to share?
