This assumes that you will have an income of something worth more than the US dollar to pay the mortgage with. If your income continues at the same amount of US$ then your mortgage payment will still cost you the same amount of income, regardless of how the global valuation of the US$ changes.

The plan is coming from inside the (white) house.

So it’s possible to have two different GPUs rendering content which is then output to a single monitor at the same time? Could I have a game rendered by a discrete GPU running in a window being handled by an Xorg session rendered by an integrated GPU? Do I understand this correctly? Would it matter if the video output was physically connected to the discrete GPU or the motherboard, or is that configurable?

Place your tribute at the feet of the prince of the power of hot air.

I thought it was a perfectly peaceful and legal protest? Why would there be undercover FBI agents there?

The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts

In The Freeze-Frame Revolution, Peter Watts takes us millions of years into the future and hundreds of light-years away, where an isolated fragment of humanity must confront exotic physics, unfathomable entities, and the unforeseen consequences of their own technologies.

Permutation City by Greg Egan

This book is about a group of humans who build a new world in virtual reality (and the question of whether we are able to avoid repeating the old mistakes).

Self-reference Engine by Toh EnJoe

This book is about humanity and AI… in a very abstract, speculative exploration of consciousness and awareness. The structure of the writing is unusual and stretches what a book can be.

The rental economy calls to us and we must go…

…what other order would you number them in?

It’s ok because the government is going to buy bitcoin.

Growing and learning is the process tho?

Not sure about the job part.

It was last year. You missed it.

Meanwhile, the US is sending Ukraine *checks notes* 50 year old airframes…

Neither the US nor China has found reason enough to commit any of their fancy, expensive hardware yet… that’s probably a good thing. Both the US and China are happy to watch Russia burn out its military accomplishing very little (for different reasons, but ultimately the same goal). The US and China are still on trade dispute terms because a militarily weakened Russia favors both of their interests.

And comparatively, no other country’s military matters at this level. Sure there are other nations that spend high amounts of their GDP on military buildup, but none of them have global deployment capability at scale like the US or China.

So I guess the question is, when the Ukraine situation eventually ends, do the US and China square off for a fight? or do they go back to the quietly simmering economic tension that is the status quo? … with Putin’s control of the Russian nuclear stockpile as a wildcard.

Technically US customary units were re-defined as specific values of their equivalent metric units (for instance, 1 inch === 25.4 mm), so you are using the metric system regardless, but with weird conversion factors.

The majority of U.S. customary units were redefined in terms of the meter and kilogram with the Mendenhall Order of 1893 and, in practice, for many years before. These definitions were refined by the international yard and pound agreement of 1959.

By Grabthar’s Hammer…

The solution is not better cops, it’s better oversight and accountability for the cops. Authority without accountability always leads to abuse.

Exactly right.

Free speech means that the government can’t prosecute you for what you say (except in certain specific circumstances).

Free speech doesn’t mean that I can’t kick you out of my house for what you say.

What we need is a government-operated fediverse instance to serve as a public forum.

Probably not, he’ll just blame all the problems he creates on other people - that’s what narcissists do.

Oh come on, there’s nothing irresponsible or creepy about wanting to collect retinal images of every person on the planet into a single, Internet-connected database. You’re just being paranoid.
