Just stab it with a screwdriver

Who wants to employ some grannyless scrub anyways? Not a good look.

Shower gin is "good." Gin is surprisingly palatable at lukewarm temperatures. That's a pro level depression/degen move tho. Not for the faint of heart.

Sometimes beans

It was only when I went to my city's minor league baseball game did I "get" going to watch sports. Having gone to a few major league games, I never enjoyed them. Overpriced everything. Dehumanizing security. Seats that are tiny and so far away it makes it hard to actually watch. Getting to and from the stadium is its own ordeal.

Conversely, my local minor league team as a sweet little stadium a block off the bus line. Ample parking if your into that kind of thing. Food trucks out front. Last ticket I bought was 15$. Enthusiastic fans. And the sport being played by two teams filled out with enthusiastic and talented players.

It dawned on me that this was what going to the ballgame was supposed to be like. I've since gone back a few times a season and enjoyed it every time.

So you could hook this system up to a vehicle, like a tank or a troop carrier, and integrate it with a turret, and now you have drone protection. Just look at the havoc Ukrainian drone wrecked on Russian tanks and you'll see why this could be a big deal.

Definitely not

 

That is all

 
 

Ohh ya baby!

 

I stand with the otters

 

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.

Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.

I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.

The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.

And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.

The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!

I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!
