Amazing Atheist and ThunderF00t popped into my brain immediately.

I might have to try to rewatch those scenes, the pacing of the show at times is slow enough that seem to completely forget things.

As its only shown that one time, a part of me wonders if she's just doing a act to try to intimidate Bix.

OH, I have a PILE of cookbooks.

But the one thing I've noticed about those cook books is that its not always easy to find what I'm looking for.

And now I'm wondering how many of those same cook books might be scanned and uploaded somewhere. thinking-about-it

I find myself thinking that this situation is the first time she actually "lost".

I ... I think I unironically support this.

Dozens of boxes of Nazi material confiscated by Argentinean authorities during World War II were recently rediscovered in the Supreme Court's basement, the court said on Sunday.

...

At the time, the large shipment drew the attention of authorities, who feared its contents could affect Argentina's neutrality in the war.

...

The court has now transferred the boxes to a room equipped with extra security measures, and invited the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires to participate in their preservation and inventory.

Well, this story didn't go in the direction that I thought it was..

The firing of Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter came after Perlmutter and her office earlier this week issued part three of a lengthy report about artificial intelligence and expressed some concerns and questions about the usage of copyrighted materials by AI technology.

Skynet did not like that.

Me looking up a recipe on my phone because I'm in the kitchen doin' some cookin'.

The tiny screen is filled with ads but I persevere.

The recipe scattered inside a 10,000 word personal essay that I immediately scroll past.

I get about 1/4 of the recipe before the page "reloads" the ads, which reloads the whole page, which starts me at the top of the page.

I just make some toast....

Same shit happens on about 75% of the video game FAQ websites that aren't GameFAQS.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline... but every season a different group gets together do to some direct action. Emphasis on how nobody is "Rambo" and it takes everybody doing what they can to complete the project.

It could be a good answer if the series actually showed her going out of her way to be a psychopath. Otherwise, my read is that she comes off as a "i'm just following orders" sociopath. Dedra might actually be getting off on being a mass abuser behind the scenes but the show hasn't communicated that well enough.

IN all my years... I have never fought Warmech.

 

Why, the jock strap, of course.

Can anybody speak with confidence about the ending letters in a Manufacturer Part Number (MPN?)

The instrument cluster seems to have half way died in an old Jeep. I can find eBay listings for old instrument clusters for the same make and model. The pictures look the same as mine but there are differences in the MPNs listed and what my dead cluster has.

eBay examples:

  • 56009727AC
  • 56009727AD
  • 56009727L

Current borked cluster: 56009727J

Would these all be interchangeable? Does the letter mean anything important when it comes to finding a replacement?

So, in my recent transition from an ancient Windows OS to a Linux distribution I installed Transmission for torrenting. I had a decent experience as a user who isn't super nerdy about this stuff with the Windows version I was using.

Using it with Linux has been similarly easy but for one thing. When trying to seed torrents, after about 10ish minutes, the torrents in the list will turn red and with the word "Stalled". I can pause and restart the seeding and it clears the "Stalled" from the item on the list but it will come back after a short while.

This never happened when I was using the Windows version and I haven't been able to find an answer about what this is supposed to mean in this context online.

Anybody have any ideas what this means and what I should do to fix this if its a problem on my end?

Edit: NordVPN is blocking the ports. Weird thing is, earlier this year before switching this PC to Linux, my ancient Windows OS was running Transmission and leeching/seeding just fine through NordVPN. shrug-outta-hecks

For whatever reason my brain has decided to think about this.

VLC will record the Desktop and Space Rangers but not Transformers: Devastation Though the game screen it captures for is a different size than what is captured with the Desktop while either game is running. Seeing what happens when Transformers runs results in a white screen being recorded while the game window is in focus.

My ancient Radeon graphics card and Windows 7 operating system (don't at me Linux folks, I know I know) has some screen recording stuff build into it. Will record the Desktop just fine, records only a black screen while the game is running and its window is focused for one game but records the other game just fine and at an appropriate size.

For curiosity's sake what would I be looking for as reasons or solutions to this?

Edit:

Running everything as Administrator seems to help in OBS. Who knew? monke-beepboop

OBS seems to play nice with Transformers: Devastation now, lets me draw the bounding box in the Game Source instead of trying to use the Display source.

Still haven't figured out why OBS is being wonky with Space Rangers not recording in "Game Source" but did get a lead on why the size is wonky in the recording of "Display Source". The max resolution for the CD version (the one I've got) is 1024x768 and my monitor is 1920x1080. (Unsure why there's a difference between what I see playing the game and what the software is recording.) And the only resolution patch I've found doesn't work on the CD version... :whomp-whomp:

 

... but I finally did it.

For whatever silly reason, I decided to play the 2005 version of Space Rangers ( a kinda difficult game on its easy mode) on its hardest difficulty setting and after a handful of bad starts and one very loooonnnng good run I managed to finish.

To celebrate I will use this emoji

And as penance I will start reading Capital Volume 1 as linked by comrade Vampire in their "get in nerds we're reading all volumes of Capital" reading group.

 

Slowly working on reviving an old Asus AX1200. Got linux mint running on it but was wondering if there's any recommendations for wireless PCEx1 cards to look out for? Bonus if it's got bluetooth as well.

 

I used to have an account on that woke instance. Left the dumpster fire for lemmy.ml. Not going to entertain obvious censorship on Lemmy.

So I got around to getting a new digitizer (screen) and replacement battery for an ancient iPhone and got them installed.

Question for those who've replaced digitizers...

Any ideas as to why the screen will behave as if its being touched in a bunch of places without actually being touched?

Its not all the time, maybe 2 or 3 times in a day. All I have to do is turn off the screen and wait a few seconds.

This is the second digitizer I've replaced but the first time I've had this issue. Mostly just curious if there someone more technically inclined/experienced with an answer other than guessing.

 

150+ pounds so far (that I need to get put in the freezer) and probably another 100 still in the tree.

 

Pay is less than my old job.

Hours are less than my old job.

Two more work days a week than my old job.

Zero supervision and I'm in a building completely alone for 3~7 hours (depending on the day).

But at least its not temporary (until its decided that the office isn't "economically feasible" and I wind up out of work again). So I guess that's something.

I wonder how long it will take me to get settled so that I can get back into reading again? thonk

Its about the only thing that's got me low key excited. Been too long since I was able to read any theory related books without my tired brain just shutting down.

 

Finally got around to watching this.

For all of the criticisms that this movie got... its really good. Surprisingly good.

I bet that if the aesthetics of this were like... Darkstar , instead of super polished, nobody would have batted an eye.
