the beginning of the interview was funny as well

Naomi apparently didn't know Lando's lap time was deleted and she asked Oscar 'why am I talking to you?'

stack overflow is great if you want to be berated, given an irrelevant solution, and then have your question closed as a duplicate incorrectly

[-] lackthought 20 points 1 year ago

yeh, the author didn't seem to mind his reply but would it have killed the guy to be a little more cordial with his tone?

I had not played Diablo at the time so this game was my introduction to the genre

It was only $10 brand new which was awesome for a poor kid like myself

There could be a few spicy results

  • Red Bull = repeat offenders while winning handily
  • Mclaren = Zak Brown's previous letter about exceeding the budget cap is cheating would be a lot funnier in retrospect
  • Mercedes = still couldn't develop a better car with more money

my only issue with this is eventually people will hit a financial limit and only be able to support a few creators, leaving others without funding

I'm following over 30 youtube channels, even at $1/month per channel that would still be $30/month which is too much for me honestly. not to mention the fact I would have to manage 30 different subscriptions

I'd like a youtube premium style subscription where I can specify a group of channels and the money gets distributed to them only

this way my money isn't going to conspiracy channels, and I would only have a single subscription to manage

is anyone else having federation issues for kbin 'magazines'?

I've been subscribed to m/mma for a month and posts/comments do not come over to lemmy in a timely manner (or at all in some cases)

I'm not sure if the issue is on the lemmy side or the kbin side so I don't even know where to check or submit an issue

if you happen to have a desktop PC and you play while at home, sometimes remote play on the deck is better than installing a game on the deck

I can remote play Elden Ring from my desktop at 60fps with longer battery life vs 40fps if installed on the deck with worse battery life

also make sure you try out reduced TDP and GPU rates on games with simpler graphics, you can get an extra 1-2 hours of battery life and not impact performance in certain cases

took a gander around and didn't see anything at first glance

I'm not sure how much activity there would be, but it'd be neat to have imo

7 Problems Y2K Actually Caused (www.mentalfloss.com)
submitted 1 year ago by lackthought to c/retronet

was anyone else disappointed that planes were not literally falling out of the sky on Y2K?

anyway, here are some real world examples of actual problems that did occur

I did like the Leonard Nimoy video with experts attempting to rate how bad things were going to be :)

and of course the Y2K survival kit commercial was unintentionally hilarious with the shattered glass and sirens going off in the background

did anyone here have to deal with issues caused by Y2K, or spend time preparing systems beforehand?

I know a Mastodon user can create a new post by mentioning a Lemmy community, but I believe it is just a text post

Here was an example I found of this:
https://lemmy.world/post/82145

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a post in Lemmy via Mastodon that is a link to somewhere else such as a website?

I suppose I could just put the link in the body of the text post but a direct link would be cool, if possible

SkiFree is the standalone version of the game originally included as a part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3 (1991) for Windows 3.x, and later made available separately for Windows 3.x. It was then re-compiled for 32-bit Windows systems when the author found back the source code and released it for free through his website.

The skier can be steered using the keyboard or the mouse. It is also possible to jump, but the biggest ones are achieved with the help of rocks, bumps and rainbow-coloured pads. After the finish, the skier can move on until he is caught by the abominable snow monster. There are various obstacles, such as trees, snowboarders, rocks and more.

said this in another thread but I think this is more of a test for Yuki, if he beats RIC then Yuki replaces Perez next year

[-] lackthought 16 points 2 years ago

IT’S HAPPENING!!

let’s be real though, DeVries was not in Red Bulls future. he was merely a temporary seat warmer

I actually thought they would put Lawson in that seat

but this move makes me think Perez is on the hot seat and they want to see if Yuki can beat Danny Ric, if so then Yuki moves up next year?

I only tip for sit-down restaurants where an actual servers brings me my food

everywhere else I preemptively give the stank face as I mash the 'no tip' button on their payment system

I usually just round up to the next $5 amount to make the numbers clean, don't really care what the % is

so a $16.83 bill gets a $3.17 tip

this makes it easier to plan a meal budget, like "ok I'm spending $20 on a burger and fries today"

just try to keep my head down and focus on what I can realistically influence
