That whole "yes I want to take your guns bit" is a really bad look.

Rep. Lauren Boebert says both Trump & Jesus are victims of cancel culture in c/news@lemmy.world

I mean to be fair, Jesus was executed whereas Trump got a slap on the wrist and had mean things said about him.

It actually is a good book. As someone from the same general area, I saw a lot of my own family and experiences reflected in his writing. I had hopes that he might step up and push for more of a class-conscious republican party until he turned out to be a fascist tool.

How to transport a PC long distances in c/buildapc@lemmy.world

Thanks, is there any chance of static from the bubblewrap causing any shorts on the motherboard? I'll probably just wait to install the GPU until after I move then, no sense unpacking it and immediately repackaging it if everything else runs smoothly.

I'm in the process of building a PC and will be moving states next month. Ideally, I'd like to at least get it built and booted up before moving, because I'm moving to a more rural area without easy access to a MicroCenter or other store that sells components. It'll be a ~700 mile drive, the second half of which will be through smaller mountain roads. What is the best way to do this, so I can avoid damaging any components?

Edit: Thanks for the advice everybody, the consensus seems to be to remove and package separately the hard disks, GPU, and anything else heavy that sticks out from the board, then wrap the whole thing in towels and blankets and lay it on its back for the duration of the journey.

As excited as I am to see my home city actually growing and gaining national attention, I miss the chill cow-town vibes. Traffic is only gonna get worse from here.

I appreciate the social awareness, but can we just have a nice thread about elephants for once

What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Try potatoes. They're ridiculously cheap (where I am) and loaded with nutrients.

I feel like the left need to reclaim patriotism. It's hard to get the average voter excited for your policies when you're constantly shitting all over their home. That's why I hang my big American flag in my window, with my trans and pride flags in the others. Fuck you rednecks, come and take it.

Any bets on which state will be next? My bet is Mississippi.

How do pirate? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm moving in a week and changing my ISP, so my plan is just to pirate a few terabytes of music and games on this IP and dip out. I've never pirated anything before though, what's the easiest way for me to do this?

I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use? (lemmy.world)

I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I'd like to learn. I'm not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I'm not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

Have the trees started turning colors earlier this year? (lemmy.world)
 

I live in Ohio in the US and it seems like some of the trees around here have started turning colors way earlier than normal. Is it from the wildfires? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
