Most games, most textures are compressed, which leads to something like Diablo 2’s remake having ridiculous load times considering it’s a simple reskin of a 20 year old game. That 30GB footprint probably gets unpacked to something twice the size, and if you’re caching literally every single thing for the sake of smoothness (flight sims rarely have loading screens when you enter another country’s airspace or a different biome), and a little bit of overhead for OS etc, gonna need heaps of RAM

I heard they’re drafting a resolution to sheepishly ask the US ‘why the big cars?’

‘If we take a step back we can truly appreciate the granularity of sentiment in this curated list of words’ - someone from HR, probably 🤮

Dumbass complains that it is allegedly a political move but also wants Presidents to be able to dictate the Fed’s decisions.

Everything that happens that isn’t to his benefit is a conspiracy to make him look bad. Everything that happens to his benefit was hard-earned and well-deserved.

Fucking 80 year old baby wears diapers and people can attest to it. Smells like shit, cries, drools, no impulse control when it comes to random tits, can barely form a coherent sentence. No wonder his cabinet was a revolving door of blood relatives and his wife can’t be bothered to leave NY to visit him. Sad sad guy

But like, if you were running for president and about to speak to a crowd you’d probably low key phone half-pull and google the name and do the glance, right? Like ‘what city am I even in’ type shit, Trump is beyond dumb

My only interpretation is that Trump is basically senile grandpa at thanksgiving dinner making a gay jab at someone for having 2 pierced ears. I don’t even get how he could genuinely and sincerely mix this up

Advisors in meeting: “We have a clear path to 270 as long as they focus on single issue voters who care most ab-”

Trump interrupts everyone to talk about how boring this meeting is, invites everyone to order McDonald’s with him.

JD rubs chin pensively, thinking about a single issue to focus on, something easy which does not involve walking into a donut shop

JD has a really weird fixation on cats. Cat ladies, grilling cats, cats cats cats. Has JD ever bummed a cat? We’ll never know but it makes me wonder

The day of a new patch in WoW I said in general chat “wow, they finally put a confirmation when you type /gquit , crazy how long it took” and sit in town and watch peoples guild names disappear

Be me, have a circadian rhythm disorder, pop some gummies and trazodone and play Switch in bed until brain shuts off, spend 10 nights wandering around Gnoll Stronghold in Baldur’s Gate 1 trying to help Minsc find Dynaheir before I crash. Wander around everywhere multiple times, wtf, did she die of boredom? Finally decide to turn screen brightness up. She right there. Gnolls quit spawning, placed on endangered species list

Elon Musk’s mind: “I’m so busy and devoted to my goals that I fall asleep on factory floors and office couches”

Everyone else: No, you have acquired narcolepsy from spending 16 hours a day shitposting

You’d have to determine when the camera turns on in order to determine when it shuts off. If it’s 30 on 10 off, you stay still for >40 seconds to ensure the camera is idle and ready to record, and then you spin, you can ensure camera turns on at your spinning, and then you know it’ll shut off on your 30 seconds, and you’re totally synced to the 40s cycle

Looks awesome!

The problem isn’t scarcity in resources or lack of available work, the problem is that everything is zero sum and resources wind up locked out because there are a couple hundred assholes that look at numbers on a screen like it’s the only thing that validates their existence.

People are starving and can’t buy houses because people like Bezos or whoever have 20,000 million dollars they’ll never use sitting in some bank account they forgot about, but they need more, so they disenfranchise the class that brings them wealth.

Less jobs = better margins, but that all rests on the assumption that people absolutely must work full time and for the lowest bid

We all may as well grab shovels and bury the wealth of the Earth in a big hole in the ground because that’s what happens when we inflate the worth of the wealthy. Resources just vanish into the ether

Hold up, so I can just stand still in a room for >30 seconds to sync the timing, then spin in a circle for 32 seconds, then sprint right up to the camera and rip it off the wall?

The guides, basically a quick and dirty walkthrough on setting it up, hopefully a few explanations about things, and a handful of common troubleshooting tips. Also pointers to a handful of communities that have helpful info in case something obscure pops up.

Basically, teach a man how to fish, as opposed to giving him a couple.

I think a lot of people who would otherwise dabble with a DIY home server never try because it’s pretty technical (beyond typical ‘build a pc’ stuff) so I think the education that would come with the hardware would be appreciated by many. Help them get their foot in the door by making the dive a little less scary. Nothing too over the top but point them to the places where people hang out discussing the more technical crap for when that day comes

when my wife, mom and dad ask about what I want for a party

Tell them what you want for your birthday, even if it’s ‘something quiet and small’ or anything along those lines, give them time to respect your wishes. I went on a nature walk with my wife for my 40th, blew the minds of my super-extroverted in-laws, but hey, that’s me, who I am.

When people start assuming you’d want something even though you don’t, might make you feel obligated to do that something, might make you feel weird for not wanting to, but you’re you and they might be having a hard time wrapping their head around it (might ask you ‘really’ multiple times), but do you and they’ll respect it

I’m probably an ideal candidate for something like this but I’d much rather have someone walk me through setting my own thing up, rather than them handing me a bunch of preconfigured stuff that leaves me just as clueless.

If it came bundled around a bunch of DIY guides explaining the hows and the whys, it’d be far more appealling
