I actually have a SATA cable and power plug discreetly tucked in a spot in my PC case and have just taken the side off and plugged in a drive on occasion. It’s normal purpose is troubleshooting other hard drives, but it works for that too

Do acid, it’s cheap as fuck, lasts 12 hours, is generally a great time, and will allow introspection about your life

He was our last, best chance at getting on a better path.

My big issue is the data cap, we have three people in our house, two of us are gamers, and one is getting into it now that she has a computer. We’ve hit our data cap of 1TB every month for the last 3 months, and then they charge is an absurd $20/100GB until you get to 500 GB and then it’s “unlimited” but throttled like fuck afterward. And that’s on top of our absurd $160/month because they forced me to bundle cable I don’t want with it because it somehow costs more if you don’t.

Gotta pay those hard working bit miners in Australia, digging them out of the ground with pickaxes and shoveling them into one end of the Internet to keep the whole thing running or however it works

When you took an elective and it almost made you change majors

This is how you get people to start rooting their TVs

My parents live in butt fuck nowhere and are in a fiber co-op paying like $70/month for unlimited 1gbps up/down.

Meanwhile I live in the (extremely left) Capitol City of my state and pay Comcast $165/month for like 175mbps capped at 1TB, with some absurd overage fee like $10/5GB over until I hit $100 over and then it’s “unlimited” but seems throttled.

I had never seen one before, and was just settling in after moving into my new apartment when my turn gf just screams and comes running into the kitchen saying, “there’s a horrible monster bug in the sink, ITS HUGE”

And unprepared for the Lovecraftian little horror waiting for me, expecting some kind of beetle or something, I was pretty shook up. Legitimately was scared to go into the kitchen at night after that.

I developed a theory because of these fuckers, which is that the scale of a things creepiness is based on how many legs it has and how fast they are.

I used to get them in my last apartment and when I saw one I literally couldn’t sleep until I knew it was dead

I’m convinced conservatives would vote for a potato if you put it in a Nazi arm band at this point.

Every time I look at Matt Gaetz, all I can see is if Butthead (from Beavis and Butthead) were a real person and grew up rich.

Any tips for eliminating the stutter, or increasing the smoothness of the emulation? I’ve got an i7-12700k, 4090, and 64GB of ram and it seems to struggle a bit.

As far as the legal and historical precedent goes - we fought a war over it.

Exactly, there’s a whole bunch of “winter” cowboys in Montana and Wyoming, lol

Delayed onset mental deterioration caused by a decade or two of exposure to leaded gasoline.

It just means you’re accepting that there are different codes of law for different social strata, which is both unjust and contrary to the propaganda you were taught in school.

I’m just trying to pay for housing with my meager allotment of 80 hash browns per week

The thought of having literally every tool conceivable immediately available without having to move is fantastic.

I’m in love with the concept of laying under my car, while also being able to get any particular tool in my hand, without ever having to get up, or having a little pile of sockets, wrenches, and bolts next to me that I have to navigate by feel.

Agreed. We should (in the US) pay really high salaries to government officials, especially executive office/legislators/judges. Provide huge benefits like paid education and lifetime medical coverage for children and spouses (even if you retire), and a one time home purchase up to a certain amount in any location on retirement. It’s yours and if you sell it, the income is yours too. Pension equivalent to salary, which is raised whenever it’s increased for active government officials, and continues for your spouse after you die.

But in return, you and your spouse must fully divest yourself of any investments of any kind. You must sell any properties you own beyond a home in your constituent state. A home in DC will be provided, if applicable. Your spouse also may not have investments or own properties. Your adult children may have investments if they’re managed by a blind trust.

After you retire, or “age out” at the current full social security age, or at the end of your assigned term after reaching that age, you may not ever hold another job ever again. You may not receive income in any form other than what is paid to you by the pension fund. You (and your spouse) may not own investments of any kind.

Don’t like it? Cool, don’t run for office.

Won’t someone rid us of this meddlesome judge?
