I bet there’s probably some sort of energy improvement for the orbits to roughly line up the way they do, sort of how geese will fly in V formation.

Yeah if you’re going for trying to get the most bang for your buck, you could consider getting a match set of either 4x8 gig or 2x16 gig ram, an i7 8700 flavor CPU, and upgrade the graphics card from your 1070 to a 3070 or even a 4060, and put in a nice two terabyte SSD

That would probably run you in the neck of $500.

If it’s helpful and you want to stick with prebuilt I saw a $900 computer at Costco that had an i7 14700, 32 gigs of ram, a 512 gig SSD and a 4060 in it.

If 900 is too much, consider going to your local pawn shops. A lot of people have been all floating their 10th and 11th gen computers with 3070s in them and I’ve seen them for sale for sub $500.

You can also find a cheap laptop with like a 7th gen Intel or newer processor and use that with a wireless keyboard and mouse and an HDMI cable.

Bang for your buck it’ll be the best deal for you

I’m sure if you search the internet there are quite a few pie hole block lists that are very easy to add.

And it also depends on your version of Linux as sometimes they don’t play well with the copy protection software.

I had a lot of issues getting some videos on Tubi to play just because I was playing it on a Linux.

I was using mint cinnamon.

I mean it’s definitely nice but after pensions and taxes and everything else it’s probably like an extra $400 a month. Not exactly world shattering but definitely nice.

Shoot for the Tony Starks but don’t miss cuz otherwise you’ll end up among the Elon musks

The sheer number of union strikes and Union formations that have taken place in the last 2 years.

You should be in a union if you work for any publicly traded company.

If there isn’t one, you should be forming one.

A company that is publicly traded, IE it has stocks on the stock market, has every incentive to underpay every single employee they have and is only vulnerable to collective action.

It’s literally a case of being the change you want to see in the world.

If you’re smart enough to know all of the reasons why you’re not a good leader, you should go be a leader and then work on your problems in the process.

The outcome would be better for everyone if we had self-aware leaders who are working on their flaws instead of the p-noid zombie self-serving self-gratifying leaders that we currently have.

Sounds like there’s a lot of money to be made for finding ways to ensure that your body does not attack the stem cells that are generated from your own body.

Those two therapies combined would be a trillion dollar combination therapy for the company that can make it work.

I wonder if the process they use to make the covid shots could help?

It’s only illegal in some places. And even that is kind of weak. There are stem cell clinics you can go to in almost every large metropolis in America if you have the money.

The stock market is one of the reasons why we don’t have pensions anymore. Companies realize that it’s a lot cheaper to pawn off the responsibility of covering your own retirement on the people who work their entire lives for you.

I’ll take it into consideration but like I’ve said I’ve dated a few people and some of those people have had hobbies and their shit together for the most part but the ones that did not have a full-time job to support their hobbies on top of that have always been concerningly quick to start relying on me to financially support their hobbies, which is its own issue.

I think if I were to bend that rule again that person’s hobbies would have to be closely interlinked with my hobbies so that the financial requirements would not increase.

There’s definitely a part of me that blames myself for this.

At the same time though I feel like Tim and Kat have to share some of the blame.

We were all late teens early 20s at this point. This was not some 6th grade shenanigans. Being told that the two of you look good together and obviously like each other shouldn’t be the end of the relationship.

If you liked Napoleon Dynamite, you will probably enjoy rainbow time.

If you don’t mind subtitles and you’re okay for tucking in for a 40-hour marathon, I can highly recommend the Taiwanese drama series “Nirvana in fire”

It’s a beautiful period piece with elaborate sets and wuxia fighting and political intrigue and drama upon drama upon drama as a man who was wronged wreaks his revenge against the royals who wronged him.

It won many awards but because it’s in Mandarin it never made it over to the states, it’s probably one of the best television shows I have ever seen in my entire life.

I had two friends, Kat and Tim, who were vibing on each other super hard.

Both of them were afraid to make the first move.

One day I got drunk and I saw them kind of flirting and it got the best of me and I just said hey guys, you two are obviously a great match for each other, why don’t y’all go out on a date and see where it goes?

That in itself wasn’t that bad but in my mildly drunk stupor I didn’t think about the fact that we were all standing in front of all of our friends and they were both shy and because of me saying that they immediately distance themselves from one another and never got together.

If I had kept my mouth shut and just let things progress normally they might have ended up together.

Tim’s life really sucks right now and his life would probably be a hell of a lot better if I had just kept my fucking mouth shut.

I mean, you’re not wrong, but it seems like a shopping website that refuses to show you the thing that you are looking for doesn’t want your business.

Amazon is incredibly bad about this. If I did not have to use it for work, I would not use it at all. I deactivated my prime account 5 years ago and I have not regretted it one second.

Now though, eBay is doing the same thing and that really sucks. AliExpress also does this. It’s getting to the point where you simply cannot find what you are looking for unless you are so specific that whatever search algorithm they are using simply cannot choose to show you something else about directly explicitly lying to your face.

And I don’t think that using a third party search engine to find the specific part number of the item you’re looking for so that you can find it on the shopping website that makes its money by selling you the things that you want to buy is a good solution.

I think there are some people who just go around downvoting everything without reading it or comprehending it.

In my opinion if you’re going to downvote something, it should either be so audaciously bad troll posting that it’s self-evident or you should follow up your downvote with a reply.

Possibly. The thing is I’m not trying to sing like death metal or anything I just want to be able to put the occasional scream onto a song like Dave grohl does.

He can transition from clear vocal to distorted vocal and back cleanly, and I would like to be able to replicate that for my own music.
