The dude raises some valid points.

One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.

But it uses the most powerful GPU known to humans- Imagination!

My friend in Katy! Such a banger.

Not a fan of the Kanye version though.

Got a link for that podcast?

Is there an issue with running OBD for the accessories, but not the engine?

I think I’m out of the loop here.

Following on from this, they do make music like they used to. Just like they used to, there’s heaps standard fare being shoveled out the door. Every now and then, there’s a good one that stands the test of time.

This happens in every era, not just the music you grew up with.

I’ve got a whole library of upvotes that I haven’t even used yet.

I’m playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can’t ignore the current dissonance.

I’m playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

I’ve ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I’m not sure where I want to take this thing.

Fuck, I love this game.

I’m about to sit down for the next six hours. I’m happy to stand for a bit.

I think this thread just goes to show that ‘modern technology crap’ is relative. For some, adaptive cruise control is modern technology crap, for others, electronic fuel injection is modern technology crap. I recall when power windows were thought to be crap, because when the switch breaks, you can’t open the window any more. It’s the same with any new tech.

Power banks are much more efficient and effective than generator hubs anyway.

I used to be all about the dynamo, but I’ve moved away from it because it’s so much easier to just take a battery bank if you need it. That way you only occasionally carry a small amount of extra weight, vs always having to pedal against a dynamo.

In Australia, for example, the earth pin on a 15A plug is taller than a 10. This lets you plug 10A rated extensions and appliances into a 15A capable socket, but not vice versa.

Amperages above that have dedicated plugs, and any available adaptors only go downwards in amperage limit, not upwards.

This of course doesn’t stop people getting creative with a screwdriver, or from creating immense chains of small gauge extensions, but it certainly goes a long way to reducing risk.

I’ve never heard of being able to plug a 15A into a 10A socket. Everywhere I’ve seen them, they are keyed to physically prevent this. What country are you in?

How does RF attenuation affect power safety?

Is there another sub for non-meme ttrpg discussion?

I’ll say it here regardless - Feng Shui is my favourite system that’s not Blades or DnD or derivates.

The whole premise is based around Hong Kong style action flicks. Most enemies have one hit point. If you hit, they go down. If you describe your action well, you get a bonus- instead of saying “I kick the guy”, players are encouraged to say “I leap from the balcony, swing from the tapestry, and fly-kick the guy in the head”. The setting includes four distinct time periods, so you can travel from a cyberpunk future to a colonial history between sessions. It’s fast, it lends itself to simple plots, and it’s fun to be awesome.

But rack mount programmable touchscreens are sexy!

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter.

I’m so confused. You pivot your elbows and smash the sandwich into your face like the letters hitting the page? You take lots of fast, noisy bites like the sound of typing? You nibble the top piece of bread from left to right, then the filling from left to right, then the bottom, going ‘ding!’ in between?
