  • Boy are conservatives pissed about this - they're resorting to flat out fucking lies to try and kill support for amendment 3.

    On major highways I pass billboards saying shit like, "Amendment 3 allows transgender surgery to children without parent consent" - which it won't do. They know they have an unpopular position, but let's stoke transphobia to keep women firmly in their baby-making place, amiright fellow R's?

    This shit should be illegal.

  • No, no, nope.

    You missed the first step where you get the parts of the chicken from the grocery store, then go to a pet store to get bones and use Elmer's glue to put the chicken together.

    That's just the basics of cooking according to Julia Pepin.

  • No, see Elon is white and speaks american in a super cool accent. Those immigrants we're cool with. It's the ones who aren't white and can't speak American that need to get gone.

  • Which is somehow even more terrifying. If Harris was up 20pts in swing states and he was pulling this shit you could explain this as him trying to get a violent organization going.

    But this race is a coin flip - and he's fucking still inciting violence. What the hell is he going to do if he wins?

  • tmux and a <ctrl>-<b><d> - done!

  • he scares me... he's smart and doesn't care about anything other than personal gain.

    Welcome to what Republicans really wanted instead of Trump. Trump is a buffoon, he says the quiet part out loud, and is more of a millstone around the party's neck. But if they could get a Vance - someone who has zero ethics like Trump, likes like Trump, and (most importantly) can rile up the base like Trump - all while maintaining a superficial glaze of acceptability on CNN? They just have to do that once, and then in Trump's words, you'll never have to do an election again.

  • North of $25k... And that's for the first round.

    Because here's the thing, every body is different. At first they go with the "average IVF woman's" level of hormones to produce as many eggs as possible. Will it work for you? Who knows! They check blood work every week, and then at the end of the cycle they surgically remove anything that looks matures and try to fertilize. Say 12 eggs are retrieved, maybe 7 are successfully fertilized. Then they incubate for a few weeks - maybe 4 make it through and are candidates for surgical implant, (if so, you're lucky and they'll try one or two max for implant at a time). Or maybe all of them don't make it.

    But if you don't have any viable options, well we try for round two with slightly tweaked hormones. Did round two not work? Time for round three with slightly different hormone levels/timing. (We learned so much about your specific body chemistry!)

    Even after all of that, say you get a successful implantation - you're now pregnant. All costs for prenatal care, hospital birth - that's an add on to the $75k you've spent for IVF. And because humans are weird, there's no guarantee with IVF that you or the baby will survive and be healthy!

  • A digital solder gun with a properly sized tip and a magnifying glass with helping hands (flexible clips) helps immensely. I had to hand solder a surface mount resistor that looked about the size of the tip of a pencil. It wasn't pretty but I got it done.

  • I wish someone would do a NoClip-esque documentary on Sierra. That studio seems amazing and Roberta Williams was a crazy good game designer.

  • LIES! He was prominently featured in a a brief final race scene thereby filling is obligation and allowing another Lance Riddick film to be made.

    (Guessing on the reason why they dragged him out for one 30 sec throwaway scene - but at least they could incorporate the cast for TD in Fast 9)

  • Do you have any persistent pain or discomfort when doing things? Get that checked out.

    Another +1 for colonoscopy.

    Also if there's a family history of anything nasty, see if there's a test for it my maybe? (E.g. heart attacks, get blood work done for cholesterol).

    Get a full physical including blood work.

  • Don't worry, AI will help us (make the situation much, much worse by simultaneously causing outages and causing a massive increase of emissions.)

  • Come over to Last Epoch - I've had a much better experience solo and with friends. And shockingly, the global chat is helpful/welcoming of newbies.

  • Ah, I wonder if it's something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I'll check into it.

    Some sort of all-in-one video platform viewer...thing?

    I've recently gotten on board with Invidous/Viewtube - and they're both great in their own ways. I like not having the algorithm hide or force new content down my throat, but I'm wondering if there's a way to take this to the next level.

    I also subscribe to nebula - and have some patreon exclusive videos. It would be amazing to gather them all together in one location - is there some self-hosted option for this? Maybe some combination of yt-dlp + plex/jellyfin?

    Self-hosted YouTube frontend with some additional features

    I've been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!

    I absolutely love that with Viewtube I can make the front page only my subscriptions. It seems to be relatively low on resource usage as well.

    But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and "Add to queue".

    Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?

    Suggestions for Linux Distribution

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/16072674

    I've been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it's docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year.

    Now that Windows is going off the deep end with AI, I'm looking to dual boot/trial Linux on this laptop with the goal to give Microsoft the boot.

    It's a beefy laptop:

    • 13th Gen i9-13900
    • 32GB Memory
    • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
    • 1TB NVMe (Windows)
    • 2TB NVMe (Linux)

    I added the second drive to avoid any issues with dual-booting with Grub/Windows Bootloader - instead making the Linux device the primary boot device and spamming Esc if I want to change to the Windows drive.

    For distributions, I'm most familiar with Debian/Ubuntu - it's the daily driver for my work laptop, and the vast majority of my home lab VMs are Ubuntu. With the Steam Deck, I started to get more into Arch with the Steam Deck, and now it's the OS of choice

    Current state of my Lockport journey

    Almost all of my own padlocks have been picked, save for just two, the ABUS 64TI/40 and the Master lock LOTO. Still relatively new to the tubular lock game, so the yellow Urban bike disk brake lock as also eluded me.

    I found getting the two cut away locks helped immensely - the American helped me really hone in on how over setting pins feel, and the Sparrow (after disassembling and putting in some of their advanced driver pins) showed how I was accidentally picking more than one pin with my older/bad technique.

    If anyone has suggestions for the Titanium or LOTO locks, I'm all ears!

    How are you all playing D4?

    I'm doing co-op with my spouse, and we're opting to nearly complete every Altar of Lilith, side mission, and explore every area before moving the story along. As a result, we're both level 56+ and are easily taking out most everything on World Level 2.

    Are you folks doing something similar? Or just going straight to the main story/quest without detours?
