Tell 'em about the scalps

I remember a lot of similar arguments about how ubiquitous Flash was when mobile devices were first taking off. Not saying it will be easy or even likely not saying it will never happen is a bit of an assumption.

This is dead on. I really have no idea how to deprogram even one person who thinks like this, let alone millions...

There's actually a company called Helion which is trying to skip the steam turbine step completely with fusion energy. Although generally speaking you're correct, they're kind of the exception that proves the rule.

Or they stop trying to lock people in with exclusive games and instead attempt to actually compete by the quality of the service. I know it will never happen but I can dream.

Until a conservative sub can prove that it's banned all Nazi and fascist content and is fully separated itself from support of the current administration and its attempted coup I will continue to downvote on sight. I refuse to pretend as though there is a reasonable middle ground to be struck and I don't have to tolerate intolerance.

Gonna be pretty shitty if Goff can't play due to a cheap hit that should have been called during the pick 6

These refs are just making up penalties like they have a quota on how many flags to throw today.

I love headlines where it's impossible to predict the next word at almost any point.

I find the plastic floss picks work really well because they are flatter than regular tooth picks. It has to be the type where the back part is a pick as that's the part that I use.

I recently installed it on my gaming PC with an Nvidia GPU and AMD CPU. It was my first time with Linux and I was partitioning a drive to dual boot windows in case I screwed the whole thing up and needed a fall back. I hit a few speed bumps mostly due to lack of experience and the dual booting (stupid secure boot!).

Beyond that my only issue so far has been an inability to get my VPN app running but since this is just a gaming PC that I don't use for anything else I've just gone without the VPN. The Nvidia GPU has not really caused any problems for me so far to be honest.

I've only tried two games so far, Cyberpunk so I could benchmark graphical performance against Windows, and Return to Moria because I wanted to test a cheap game that specifically says it's not Steamdeck compatible. Both tests have been successful as far as I'm concerned. I will mention that I'm pretty exclusively a solo gamer and I've heard that people have had issues with trying to play Return to Moria with friends.

I was recently introduced to tasting history and it's become the new obsession in our house. My wife even bought his cookbook.
