................................. Allow me to amend my statement to what was obvious. Small and reproducable doesn’t mean cheap electricity, and cheap electricity is what we want.

I know that Steam Deck is talked about a lot here, but the overall numbers really aren't that high. And who knows if Steam took that number out for the steam machine analysis.

I think the small modular reactor concept is overdone. Small doesn't mean cheap, and cheap is what we want.

I've said this for years, the right lives in a world of strawmen.

Who's doing the real reflecting?

That doesn't make any sense at all. People can buy whenever they want. And whether it's a PC or a steam machine this is simply the price. There's discussion everywhere that building yourself would have a whopping $70, and of course prebuilt will be the same.

In the total project timeframe it takes to design and produce a machine, that is now.

Woo $49 savings.

... There are plenty in that group that can afford a steam machine. Why is everyone acting like that 70% is living on gruel.

Seriously what are you on about? It doesn't have to be every single one of that 70% that's chomping at the bit to upgrade. That is the easy customer pool. PCs users are on a continuous upgrade cycle, it's not like consoles where they have to upgrade every generation. It's more of a cycle. Can't afford? You seem to want to focus on the cheapest users and act as if that's all 70%, which sorry to say is just wrong and bad thinking. Sure there's a long tail in that bell curve and some at the very end are on strict budgets, but there are tons that are just on the normal upgrade path. Plus others whose PC's break. The 30% above steam specs can wait it out, but 70% may still want/need to upgrade. No one is ignoring price, this is simply the price of PC gaming now. And what are you quoting? You're just making things up now, so that's my sign I really need to peace out. Ciao.

 

That is all.

 

It will start with the 600,000 Venezuelans under Temporary Protected Status (revoked Jan 2025).

Then anyone that speaks Spanish.

Then everyone.

(Not necessary to complete each one before going to the next, but this will be the order it hits the news.)

 

The Supreme Court ruled on October 3, 2025, allowing the administration to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked the TPS termination. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who received protection under former President Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco had ruled last year that the DHS "acted with unprecedented haste" to terminate Venezuelan migrants' TPS status, finding that DHS made "decisions first and searched for a valid basis for those decisions second."

Appears that Noem ended TPS for Venezuelans last year Jan 2025.

Linux Mint XFCE.

Going into Mouse and Touchpad > Touchpad > Pointer Speed > Acceleration:

BUT changing the acceleration doesn't actually change acceleration, it adjusts speed.

Cinnamon and MATE have different sliders for speed and acceleration and actually worked.

*To clarify, there is only one slider. Yes I am selecting touchpad from the drop down box. The header says "Pointer Speed", the slider says "Acceleration" but adjusts speed. IIRC cinnamon has 2, one for speed and one for accleration, which is what you expect.

 

Then we lose Obamacare, leading to backlash against Trump who is then never reelected?

 

I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would've been much easier.

Of course this got me wondering about the etymology:

-stat

noun combining form

1: stabilizing agent or device thermostat

2: instrument for reflecting (something specified) constantly in one direction heliostat

3: agent causing inhibition of growth without destruction bacteriostat

 

Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

 

It will start with "lying" on forms, "incorrect" asylum claims, "concern is over" asylum claims, and soon enough people born to illegal immigrants. Slow boiled frog and all that.

 

Much is said about lead and crime rates, I'm wondering about the more mundane things.
