rolling resistance means that asphalt is constantly being worn out from every vehicle that goes over it

[woeful minnow]

You guys just set aside over $600 billion to repair your crappy car infrastructure because it’s falling apart

[granite tinsel]

and the more the vehicle weighs, the more damage it does to the asphalt, exponentially

a toyota highlander does 20 times more damage to a road than a honda civic

[woeful minnow]

Almost like it’s not economically sustainable

[granite tinsel]

and a single semi truck does damage equivalent to 10,000 civics

[wicked cape]

we don’t have the money to switch

[civic mason]

Truck freight shouldn’t be as prevalent

[granite tinsel]

because it's so expensive to maintain

[woeful minnow]

Clearly you do though

[granite tinsel]

also because US military spending is obscene

[wicked cape]

no we don’t

[granite tinsel]

and US police budgets too

[wicked cape]

to switch we have to maintain road while the new system is built

[woeful minnow]

You lose billions to health conditions and delays caused by road vehicles

[quick prairie]

tbf military is important currently

[wicked cape]

because we can’t just shut down the highways and wait 50 years

[granite tinsel]

i'm pretty sure even with how important it is, the US doesn't need to spend literally 7 times as much on the military as the next country

[woeful minnow]

Highway removal projects have so far been extremely successful across the us and the world

[sinful dirge]

[granite tinsel]

i mean yeah, look at most of europe

[wicked cape]

europe is much smaller

they have a lot less to do

[granite tinsel]

they initially tried to go all-in on cars like the US and then reversed course when they saw the writing on the wall

[woeful minnow]

Where did I say Europe

[granite tinsel]

that is true, but only to an extent

[woeful minnow]

I said the us

[woeful minnow]

^

Most countries realised their mistake early on

[granite tinsel]

the US totally could do it but it'd take some pretty big policy changes that i'm pretty sure none of the people who are actually in power want to make

[quick prairie]

trains trains trains

[woeful minnow]

But the us was the home of the car and oil

[granite tinsel]

i'd quip that ford/GM/chrysler would prolly lobby them but then i realized that they're all doing so badly anyway that they're probably too broke

well ford's okay

[woeful minnow]

Lol

[granite tinsel]

but GM and chrysler... still have not recovered from 2008

you can't tell me chrysler's doing okay when they have a whopping two car models and dodge has three

[woeful minnow]

And most airlines are on the brink of bankruptcy

same with most American cities

[granite tinsel]

almost as if planes aren't super practical for anything other than literal cross-country travel

[quick prairie]

haha lufthansa go brrr

[granite tinsel]

should note that your average train ride is way nicer than your average plane flight because trains don't have to worry about space and weight efficiency

[woeful minnow]

And all the security concerns

[granite tinsel]

planes operate on such razor-thin margins that these airlines keep sardining more and more people into economy just to get a little more margin

[woeful minnow]

And train stations are generally centrally located in a city

[granite tinsel]

and then the problem with that is the planes then get so heavy with the extra passengers and their cargo that runway overruns start becoming more common

[granite tinsel]

yep, because trains aren't so loud that they have to be put way out in the outskirts

[woeful minnow]

And train stations don’t take up tens or hundreds of square kilometres

[granite tinsel]

also don't get me wrong; planes have their uses--there's no fuckin way we're gonna make trans-pacific and trans-atlantic bridges

[woeful minnow]

Yeah lol

[quick prairie]

Not true

Trains are loud as hell

[granite tinsel]

but the US is way too reliant on them when proper-ass modern rail could be doing the same job cheaper, more efficiently, and in more environmentally-friendly way

[woeful minnow]

Only us trains are loud because they’re systems suck

[granite tinsel]

yeah but compared to a jet plane??

[civic mason]

Is that defeatism I hear?

[granite tinsel]

also you can totally make quiet trains

[quick prairie]

yeah ok

[woeful minnow]

They’re diesel, they’re operated by dumb freight companies

[granite tinsel]

here in vancouver you can even experience the juxtaposition on the expo line

[woeful minnow]

Electric trains are no louder than a bus

[granite tinsel]

between the insanely loud original 1970's trains and the modern 2016 trains

[woeful minnow]

Just some rolling noise

[quick prairie]

Again, not true

[granite tinsel]

actually iirc the rolling noise from cars is louder in some cases

because of the rolling resistance

[fluid ridge]

china catching up quickly, they have the world's largest navy already

now is not the time to be cutting back defense spending as potential adversaries increase theirs exponentially

[granite tinsel]

how many of those ships are aircraft carriers

[fluid ridge]

2 or 3?

[quick prairie]

Trains make a really loud high pitch squeaking noise when rolling through curves

[fluid ridge]

america has only 11 functional

[granite tinsel]

2 in service now, 1 in development, 1 in fitting

[woeful minnow]

Only when the infrastructure is bad

[fluid ridge]

US law states that the navy always has to have at least 13 aircraft carriers in service

[quick prairie]

And you have those curves especially at train stations

[fluid ridge]

america only has 11 right now

[granite tinsel]

yeah but they're currently in a transitional period, no?

new class of carriers coming and all that

[fluid ridge]

the new aircraft carriers suck

[woeful minnow]

Modern rail networks and modern trains are extremely quiet

[quick prairie]

wouldnt call german train infrastructure bad

[fluid ridge]

gerald r ford, literally launch was as smooth as launch of intel's a380 gpu

[quick prairie]

it for sure isnt perfect but its not bad

[fluid ridge]

[woeful minnow]

I’ve been on German trains they are quiet af

[granite tinsel]

anyway the other thing is that the US military is way too keen on writing companies blank cheques

[civic mason]

Teething pains prolly

[fluid ridge]

the military industrial complex increases GDP by a mind boggling amount

[granite tinsel]

of course warfare is getting more expensive, but 7 times more defense spending than the next country is a little much

[quick prairie]

Have you ever heard an ICE arriving at a train station

[woeful minnow]

Yes

[granite tinsel]

i'd rather have the money be put to more efficient uses than for it to make line go up

[fluid ridge]

war increases GDP by a mind boggling amount, which is why america is always in a war

[woeful minnow]

Less noise than a typical two lane main road

[civic mason]

If y’all wanna pick up a part of the tab I’d be down lol

[fluid ridge]

true i agree though

[civic mason]

But no one wants to have that conversation

[fluid ridge]

i am canadian however

[granite tinsel]

i am too LOL

but as it happens, most canadians do have a good grasp on american politics

[fluid ridge]

i am a very strong proponent of a strong american military because our country's military consists of 3 fighter jets and a rowboat with guns on it 🗿

[granite tinsel]

due to the proximity, you end up learning a lot both inadvertently and intentionally because it's important to know how your very influential neighbour is doing

[fluid ridge]

• i dont pay for the american military, another W

[fluid ridge]

what city you in

[woeful minnow]

Instead you pay for their healthcare

[granite tinsel]

i mean i still do because i am a dual citizen and i have to pay american taxes even when i don't live in america 💀

[fluid ridge]

actual L

[granite tinsel]

vancouver

[fluid ridge]

ayo me too

[granite tinsel]

i'm like a 30 minute drive from LMG HQ prolly lmao

[fluid ridge]

im in coquitlam

🗿

[woeful minnow]

Don’t you just have to say that you earned nothing there basically?

[granite tinsel]

west van 🗿

[fluid ridge]

tragic

[granite tinsel]

yes, unless i actually did get income from somewhere in the US

[woeful minnow]

Yeah

[granite tinsel]

it ain't so bad but tbh i'd prefer living downtown if i could help it; suburbia sucks

[fluid ridge]

idk man

[granite tinsel]

man what is the limit for repeated characters

anyway yeah

[woeful minnow]

Housing prices are finally falling in australia

[granite tinsel]

what for?

[civic mason]

Basically an early warning if the bears ever wanna cross the arctic lol. Y’all got a pretty robust Special forces tho. Got a buddy in the Cad army

[woeful minnow]

But that just means we’re all fucked

[fluid ridge]

the JTF2

😎

[granite tinsel]

the JTF2 are neat

[civic mason]

Legit doing hawt guy stuff on the daily

[granite tinsel]

it's interesting to see how canada is basically the military equivalent of a support class

[fluid ridge]

you know the list of the top 5 longest sniper kills canada holds 3, including #1

[granite tinsel]

yea

[fluid ridge]

canada used to have a good military

[granite tinsel]

surprised the TAC-50 hasn't been appearing in media more often as a result

[fluid ridge]

post WWII canada's navy was the 3rd largest in the world

they also maintained aircraft carriers at one point

[granite tinsel]

made sense back then when canada was still a dominion

[civic mason]

Gangster shiz right there

[granite tinsel]

doesn't anymore since the US provides for us most of the time

like i said, we're basically a support class military-wise

between the navy specializing in anti-submarine stuff and special forces like the JTF2

[fluid ridge]

you know what's gangster

[civic mason]

america's navy is the world's 2nd largest air force 🗿

actually smurfing irl

[civic mason]

That ships going Mach jebus right there

Top gunning intensifies

[granite tinsel]

i'm sad that the story about pepsico having one of the world's largest navies for a brief period isn't true

[cold badger]

Murica

[civic mason]

Really banger movie btw

[granite tinsel]

it was really funny

[cold badger]

Thanks for ruining it for me

Lmfao

[civic mason]

Pepsi Co navy needs to be cannon. Stop this slander at once

[fluid ridge]

america seems like a banger place to live

[cold badger]

Ur joking right 😀

[fluid ridge]

if i wasn't lazy i would probably move down south

[fluid ridge]

no

so much of it appeals to me

[granite tinsel]

🗿

[cold badger]

Such as?

[granite tinsel]

you see my pfp; i don't think i need to explain why the US does not appeal to me especially at this point in time

[cold badger]

Fr

[fluid ridge]

i like america's values

[cold badger]

Life liberty and destroying happiness?

[granite tinsel]

you talking about the ones written on the parchment or the ones that the actual government is putting into practice?

[fluid ridge]

not all of them, especially not the overturning rights shit but i like the liberty part

[fluid ridge]

yes

[potent delta]

What is this Anno game Linus keeps talking about?

[fluid ridge]

i really like guns too

that's another reason 🗿

[granite tinsel]

understandable tbh

[civic mason]

You do you, I’ll do me. We won’t do each other (probably)

Bascially most of Americans

Myself included

[fluid ridge]

is that an invitation

[cold badger]

I understand liking guns I don’t understand wanting to have easy access to assault weapons

[granite tinsel]

unless the government decides it will do you

[quick prairie]

@woeful minnow this is the noise i was talking about https://youtu.be/Xp9mtwgvALU

this is a train departing but it makes the same sound

[granite tinsel]

or cops

[fluid ridge]

america just needs to stop being so divided and it would be one of the most epic places on earth

[full fossil]

this

[granite tinsel]

wow! who could've possibly thought of that! just stop being divided 5heads!!

[fluid ridge]

we need to abolish the police entirely and let the people police each other 💪

[cold badger]

Sorry for having a strong stance on human rights and hating ppl who are against them 🤨

[civic mason]

It’s surprising how most are legit my comment earlier. Government isn’t your tool to enforce your beliefs on withers. Most just wanna be left alone and do our own thing

[granite tinsel]

honestly? that would be better

[fluid ridge]

the supreme court has ruled multiple times that the police have no constitutional obligation to protect you

[granite tinsel]

they actually have, yes

[fluid ridge]

this is why you gotta stay strapped

[granite tinsel]

that's why the cops weren't doing shit at uvalde

[cold badger]

Exactly.. s reason to hate us values lmao

[fluid ridge]

yeah fuck the police

[cold badger]

^

[granite tinsel]

amen

[civic mason]

And a REALLY crappy on scene commander who wouldn’t let his cops do things

[fluid ridge]

im sure most cops are good people but they make taxes so expensive 🗿

[quick prairie]

and then theres people who think its the same way here in europe and hate the police for it

i hate these people

[granite tinsel]

i mean i have seen some things in europe too

[civic mason]

Public works is number one on my town…

[quick prairie]

but its fine for the most part

[granite tinsel]

was surprised when i saw the police cracking down on the george floyd protests in stockholm back when that was going on

[fluid ridge]

government should exist to uphold rights and only exist to uphold rights

[quick prairie]

the police probably got attacked

[fluid ridge]

protest is protected under the first amendment

[civic mason]

Actually PD has been going up but that’s because some are becoming more tenured and having more benefits and they’ve been expanding due to population growth and bringing a bigger town

[fluid ridge]

not in europe though 🗿

[granite tinsel]

no freedom without justice

[peak sable]

just like no taxation without representation >.>

[granite tinsel]

DC is an odd case; DC residents can still vote for president and all that

[cold badger]

Pppl from DC rn 😐

[granite tinsel]

honestly i'd say puerto rico should take priority, assuming they want to become a state

that's the problem though; they can't decide 💀

[fluid ridge]

can you imagine adding another state

[cold badger]

Puerto Rico and DC and probably Guam should be states

[fluid ridge]

they would need to take back all of the american flags and add an extra star on them

[cold badger]

Yeah we did if 37 times

[granite tinsel]

actually, many US government institutions do have 51-star flags on standby, just in case

[fluid ridge]

restitching the flag 37 times sounds like a pain in the ass

[civic mason]

DCs problem is because it was deemed “unfair” for a state to house the capital. And have a special district for the fed gov to control its buildings was fine in 17/1800s but now with lots a people there it’s become an issue

Tbh just make it a part of MD plz

[granite tinsel]

...y'know, should DC just be reabsorbed into maryland? would anyone really care?

[cold badger]

Most ppl didn’t replace it every time a state was added they just waited till their flat wore out

[granite tinsel]

yeah i was about to say LOL

[cold badger]

With the exception of the areas that are dedicated to government buildings ues

Which has 0 population so yknow

[granite tinsel]

also y'know what's a really stupid bit of trivia regarding DC and the state of washington?

so back in the day, DC was only known as the district of columbia

[cold badger]

They exist

[granite tinsel]

when washington became a state, they initially thought of naming themselves columbia, but decided not to so they'd avoid confusion with DC

...so they chose the name washington

...and then DC's name became washington, DC

defeating the entire point of the state choosing that name

[fluid ridge]

minor tomfoolery

[quick prairie]

A big problem of europe is that the people here, specifically the youth, tries to adapt movements and "trends" from the US

[civic mason]

Your honor my client was just doing a bit of trolling

[granite tinsel]

thinking about the british conservatives desperately trying to be more like the US

[civic mason]

Yeah. High waisted jeans suck I’m sorry it’s plaguing you

[quick prairie]

Like theres people at pride protests insulting the police escorting them

for some fucking reason

[fluid ridge]

good

all police are an inherently oppressive force used by government to do nothing but restrict and impede upon the liberties of other people

[quick prairie]

if the police wasnt escorting us we probably wouldnt have quite the good time

[fluid ridge]

but like i said earlier im sure most cops are delightful folks to be around

but like like i said earlier, fuck the police 🗿

[civic mason]

I love and hate this

[fluid ridge]

well better than just hating

i hold very libertarian views that most people don't agree with

[quick prairie]

In other words: they are enforcing the law

[granite tinsel]

mmm, i figured as much

i'm more of a libsoc personally

[fluid ridge]

yo are you going to animerevo

[quick prairie]

germany is pretty fun, we are pretty much in the political and economical middle

[granite tinsel]

yes LOL

[fluid ridge]

me too that's crazy

[granite tinsel]

i've gone every year since 2015

[fluid ridge]

what's your favorite show 🗿

[granite tinsel]

anime? hard to choose, but... eh, plastic memories

[fluid ridge]

idk what that is

[granite tinsel]

aw dammit

[fluid ridge]

my favorite show happens to be 86

[granite tinsel]

it's one of those 12-episoders; it only was really popular in the season it came out

[fluid ridge]

hiroyuki sawano and A1 pictures, actually goated combination

[fluid ridge]

ah

12 episodes are nice because they're bingeable in a day

[granite tinsel]

it was unusual because it was made-for-TV; not an adaptation of any existing property

same writers as the ones behind steins;gate

[fluid ridge]

steins;gate goated

[granite tinsel]

the problem was they were a little too ambitious to fit everything into 12... well, actually 13 episodes

so some plot threads just kind of die halfway through 🗿

but it's okay because i still cried like a baby at the end

[fluid ridge]

a minor downside

[quick prairie]

I have never understood the hype around anime

[fluid ridge]

only time i cried in anime was mugen train

[quick prairie]

but tbh i dont really care anyways

[fluid ridge]

truly an L bozo 🗿

[granite tinsel]

oh dude plamemo made me cry harder than any piece of media ever did

[fluid ridge]

just kidding, i used to not get anime either

but then i watched 3 episodes of hunter x hunter on xQc's stream

and here we are

[granite tinsel]

if i had to compare plamemo to an olympic diver, it started off with a perfectly graceful jump, flailed about midair, and then absolutely nailed the landing

[quick prairie]

its just japanese cartoons?

[granite tinsel]

oh also honourable mention to gabriel dropout for being really fuckin funny

[fluid ridge]

yes but they're far better than any western cartoons

[granite tinsel]

yeah but that's the thing; japanese media seems to have more out-there premises that media from other countries wouldn't usually cover

[fluid ridge]

you want a good first anime try demon slayer

it's easier to digest than something like attack on titan or 86

[granite tinsel]

and there's a sort of style and tone to it that you don't find anywhere else

[fluid ridge]

yeah and the music slaps

[granite tinsel]

well, you do find it outside of japan--when whomever's doing it is imitating the style

[fluid ridge]

you can never beat the real thing

[granite tinsel]

mmm, disagree

if someone really understands the subject matter they can totally do it

y'know VA-11 HALL-A, that visual novel?

[fluid ridge]

Valhalla

nope

[granite tinsel]

that was by venezuelan developers, but you wouldn't know because it perfectly captured the PC-98 style and visual novel flair

[fluid ridge]

you watch a lot of niche/obscure shows right

[granite tinsel]

well i haven't watched anything lately 🗿

[fluid ridge]

i only watch the shit that's in the top 100 list on MAL 🗿

[granite tinsel]

i usually just watch whatever's in season

[fluid ridge]

are you not watching anything now

did you watch spy family

[granite tinsel]

that's the cool thing about this seasonal culture to anime; even the most obscure show can get mentioned by youtubers and the general community just because it's on for the season

nope but i intend to before the con

[fluid ridge]

missed out on spy family

[granite tinsel]

🏴‍☠️

always hated the atomization of content catalogues anyway

[fluid ridge]

i am watching 6 shows concurrently right now and most of them are from the summer season

[granite tinsel]

tho funimation being integrated into crunchyroll should make that better

[fluid ridge]

summertime render, call of the night, classroom of the elite s2, and a few more

[upbeat dagger]

yeah

he said i could go 800 if it was completely necessary

how do i lower my temps

@vapid smelt

[glacial basin]

so 85 is truly a new record

would this help my temp

apple vs android

i had an android then it broke and i got an iphone

android>apple literally any app u get has a paywall for extra features u could get for free on android

[finite cloud]

android is not better then ios

ios is not better then android

[vapid smelt]

i like android since i get choices

[finite cloud]

i like that about android too it has a lot of cool things you can do with it

[vapid smelt]

with android i have so many companies i can get phones from some that fold some with screens on the back of the phone and most importantly i can get a phone with a headphone jack

I can't live without my custom launcher

[glacial basin]

both have their quirks

oneplus has better camera and has an unbroken mic but only 64gb of storage, iPhone has autofill features and 128gb of storage but mic broke and worser camera

Does anyone know why everyone hates windows 11?
I got windows 11 pro and my friends are saying my pc is useless now (even tho its not)

we made a complaint and the officer was arrested for racial motivation, were back in australia though.

Your friends sound useless lol. I don't know what people have against Windows 11

[tranquil roost]

Cuz it looks different

[left sinew]

The first thing I did was move the taskbar back to the bottom left

[glacial basin]

they only remember the bugginess that came with it when it first launched + they love shitting on new things

win11 imo is good

just do a clean install or you'll hate yourself

[left sinew]

I did have to change the right click menu back to the old style

[fresh flower]

I have personal and rather petty reasons. The taskbar is fucked, they basically have always online software now, the bloody VOLUME MIXER is hidden so goddamn deep in the settings that there's an app on the Microsoft store to fix it

[left sinew]

As I had to do an extra click to use 7Zip

[fresh flower]

It's not that 11 is bad

It's that 10 is so much better and a free downgrade

It's like xp and vista

[misty scarab]

I need an upgrade

my Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G is getting old

Apple is too locked down
Samsung is going the same direction

I don't really care the cost, but I want a nice phone

[wicked cape]

so I stay on 7

slide to unlock is nice

[misty scarab]

a phone with 6gb of ram, 128gb space, unlocked, has 5g, has a modern cpu, OLED display

all ofr 399?

whats the catch???

[full fossil]

yeah was wondering if it was an issue with my pc , but yt stats showed 0 drops

[fresh flower]

Catch is 5g is limited to non-cdma carriers

[wicked cape]

shit upgrade support

[misty scarab]

I have AT&T

[fresh flower]

That too

[misty scarab]

wym by that

what cpu , what software , is it 120hz?

[fresh flower]

It is 120hz

Confirmed by brother

[misty scarab]

Qualcomm Snapdragon™

and android 10 is what it says

my current phone is on android 12 though

[wicked cape]

qualcomm

[fresh flower]

Yeahhh that's the catch too

[full fossil]

it's the lg velvet , I didn't see the convo

[misty scarab]

whats so bad about them

my current phone is a snapdragon

[wicked cape]

they get curbstomped by the Apple A11

[misty scarab]

I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G

[wicked cape]

istg if you mark me as an apple fanboy because I said something apple was better

[misty scarab]

so basically the Velvet isnt an upgrade

[fresh flower]

No? Apple having a better chipset is not old

[misty scarab]

because it has a worse cpu

[fresh flower]

You don't need a bloody iphone

MST was a samsung propritary thing so Im going to have to forget about it

[woeful minnow]

not the charger part no, not that i know of

but sony phones still have microsd

why did samsung even remove mst

why do they do anything

pretty sure the xiaomi 12t line doesnt include chargers anymore but i may be wrong

Sony doesn't make phones anymore

[full fossil]

Never proved

[fresh flower]

Not getting into the politics of this

[mossy crest]

? it doesnt' "get" political when one quotes official rulings, it was already political as soon as it was brought up

daffy pls - oh ok someone deleted the spam

[willow patrol]

i thought the ban for xiaomi was just for investments in the company not for the selling of phones

[fresh flower]

I'm Canadian so the whole "Huawei spying on people" fiasco was very uj

Let's say visible

[willow patrol]

i think the reason xiaomi don't sell phones in US is because it doesnt have a big footprint

[mossy crest]

everyone's phones are spying on everyone

[fresh flower]

Apple would never spy on me I have nordvpn

[mossy crest]

sus imo when governments are keen to ban specific cellular products from foreign companies with foreign state ties without addressing the exact same alleged behaviour from domestic companies with domestic state ties

maybe no-one should be allowed to do any of this bs idk

[willow patrol]

thats most people tbh but yea its odd

[fresh flower]

[mossy crest]

microsoft can't spy on me, installed a firewall card into my motherboard

[silk coral]

Governments are fine with their own intelligence agencies accessing the information because it's so valuable. They're really against adversary agencies doing the same thing... for the same reason.

[mossy crest]

civilians don't seem to benefit either way

the word "seem" was chosen carefully

[silk coral]

If harm is prevented then civilians do gain in aggregate. Your willingness to trade that versus individual privacy is a reasonable thing to debate for sure

[mossy crest]

the way nation states engage people in that tradeoff, or more accurately, distract people from it, is reasonably interpreted as a large red flag by a lot of people

[silk coral]

No argument here 🙂

[mossy crest]

it's not too difficult to imagine a more healthy relationship between government and the governed that is transparent about the intended (and actual) consequences of policies, and fosters a public that gives meaningfully informed consent to any restrictions that benefit it overall

it's best if i keep that abstract and not continue, not sure where the server rules on """being political""" are but elaborating would definitely cross them

[silk coral]

I think it's pretty difficult to imagine when the alternative is what we have currently. If I were the government, I know what I'd choose

[mossy crest]

i would draw a distinction between said better alternatives themselves, and how to successfully get there given the perverse incentives and power structures currently in place

unsurprisingly it's really hard to fix broken systems from the inside where they're broken specifically in ways that benefit certain groups or classes; classes that hold power in that system

broken systems are stable-ish precisely because as soon as well-intentioned individual actors start making compromises to "stay civil" or not ruffle too many feathers, the outcomes are guaranteed to skew against you

[silk coral]

Yeah, unpopular opinion here, but I feel like I'm pretty well served by the current system. There are a multitude of ways that it could go wrong (certain US political parties trending towards authoritarianism, for instance) but I'm cautiously optimistic

[mossy crest]

i don't see many positive possiblities without a lot of things happening that you're still not really allowed to speak clearly about

in my view, the only optimism is that which people hopefully collectively forge for themselves

[silk coral]

I see a lot of possible negative outcomes for sure. I'm cautiously optimistic, but plenty nervous

[mossy crest]

i don't live in the US but my situation isn't all that much better than the average aamerican, my roots are the UK and I live/work in japan

neither of which compare all that favourably to the US in the ways I presume we agree are going to cause serious problems

Ahem so last night instead of following the Thermomix instructions for boiling rice I did my own, successfully blended rice grains and water.

[mossy crest]

i have a big-ish air fryer, getting an "actual oven" in japan is a bit of a pain

[rustic jetty]

am a man of culture

[mossy crest]

pulpy

one thing i will say is nice about living in japan (or i suppose any east asian country) is the ready availability of rice that "just works" in a cheap rice cooker

[mossy crest]

looks about as hearty and substantial as a gtx 1630

[random lion]

The second one was me actually following instructions 😹

[mossy crest]

both look pulpy

maybe i'm just blind

[random lion]

Oh the second one the rice is in that grey container with the lid on the bottom

Top original, second the water and butter from the second one and the container at the bottom is the streaming tray. It was nice rice

[mossy crest]

for some reason i used to hate rice when i was a little kid

but one day i just suddenly changed my mind

[random lion]

I always loved it and hated pasta. 34 years later I found out why. I'm a coeliac from birth and so when I ate pasta it would of course make me sick (autoimmune condition impracted by gluten)

[mossy crest]

i had a similar relationship with peas and lentils and other similar legumes

i can eat haricot beans (baked beans) and soy beans but not chick peas and other stuff

[random lion]

Yeah it sucks but at least we know what we need to eat to keep going strong

Because windows 10 is still supported.

I rely on my computers to work reliably. I don't know how 11 is going to effect either so since I can wait till 2025 I will. However most likely my new laptop will have 11.

[latent plank]

Windows 11 is still a buggy mess

[glacial basin]

sort of

but not really

[latent plank]

Not sort of. I see it blue screen daily on multiple machines

its getting better, but its far from reliable

Imagine your working on something that you have to deliver to a client and you blue screen. = Protental lost hours and progress that you can't charge the client for.

Pfft depends on the area but still usually better than my home internet 😭

And funnily Verizon is usually the best around here in NC......doesn't excuse their post paid plans being expensive af tho

YEP sounds about right

This is why I stick to our prepaid providers right now. I'm on Fi and for the whole month it's about that price lol

Yep $54.61 for the basic unlimited plan for the month but I could switch to the by the gig plan and probably save a bit as long as internet doesn't go out again for me

I mean that's not far off from what our unlimited plans do if you use too much

[wary summit]

i run win 10

i have 1mbps for $160 cad a year

[tight torrent]

Usually they're limited to like 20gb or so at full speed then you get throttled

[wary summit]

oh wait.... since I am building a scrapyard PC I think.....

[wary summit]

i have a 5G phone but its $80 aud a mo here

[robust fjord]

I must shop something at lttstore

[wary summit]

don't use scrap storage devices

[robust fjord]

well I am using brand new 240gb

for the boot for now, but the hard drive... I must talk to the guy and show me crystaldiskinfo stats

[tight torrent]

I honestly should've looked into that but people where I live swear by consumer wireless iirc. At least I swear that's what they use bc it's the only one that got service at all for the longest time unless you had the money for Verizon which even Verizon is spotty af

[robust fjord]

Shipping is cringy though, if I am only gonna get cable ties shipping is same price as them

[tight torrent]

(I live in the middle of nowhere and it sucks....capped at 50 or 25/1 for home internet bc our providers have no incentive or aren't forced to upgrade things for people like us....this is why I need to move ASAP)

Besides things here in my state about to get oof thanks to recent court cases and another they're pushing to make it harder to change things....

Like I could use my dad's internet right now as long as it doesn't go out again for when I go back to school. I think they can go higher but pay for 200/10 or something like that?

(since the few gig providers don't quite reach where they are yet and even if they did they overprice it imo)

Lucky bastard..... internet should be considered a utility and they need to up the speed to be considered high speed. FCC still considers 25/1 fast and no it isn't. 1 in upload is w slap in the face to what should be the bare minimum at 10 instead

I envy the speeds I see everyone else get bc I've never been able to get those speeds even at schools where that should be possible early in the day....

Yea last time I ran a speed check before the pandemic I never got great speeds at my uni. Idk about the school I'm starting at in August tho to finish out my education since I can't go back right now to that place bc of a hold and everything else

anyone here who is good at cable management? i am having a hard time here like

start from the computer also leave some slack so the cables arent constantly being dragged down. Then every 10 - 15cm group them into one

[unreal pecan]

the power bar is causing me a lot of trouble, i tried to stick it below the ikea desk but it just falls off again

Yeah you need something that screws on or use VHB tape

zip ties work too

i have around 4 cables running to my desk and one running out of my laptop for a powered usb dock

Ethernet is only useful if you have more than 10 people on a connection

Because the bandwidth gets messed up

[cosmic peak]

just me and my mom LMAO

[worldly kayak]

its also generally more stable

id say its worth, or you could get a wifi extender with an ethernet port and only use like a 3 foot cable

[cosmic peak]

wifi extender?

[worldly kayak]

ye

[cosmic peak]

what is that lol

[worldly kayak]

ill send a picture

https://a.co/d/6GqPG4q

[worldly kayak]

[worldly kayak]

this thing will connect to your wifi network, then itll extend it, its very easy use with the app

[worldly kayak]

[worldly kayak]

[sonic barn]

modems are routers

[cosmic peak]

🤨

[sonic barn]

we have fiber hooked up to a modem which is also the router

[cosmic peak]

bro how do gamign companies sell modems

i thoguth only mainstream companies can do that it confuses me

[sonic barn]

gaming modems are 100% not worth it

there's always a cheaper enterprise option

[cosmic peak]

[floral sage]

Exactly

It can go fast

[pine haven]

So what you are saying is

If I push my 3rd gen I3 hard enough it will be as fast as a 3090

[floral sage]

No

[pine haven]

[floral sage]

Pcie storage is most of the time unnecessarily fast

So I’ve got 1000 usd, what’s a good laptop for college I can get within that price range. No specific store or brand

[random lion]

what are you going to do with it, what are you studing in college? design, just word docs etc

for example, i'm spending 2.3k (hopefully less, i know the one i want to a T) on one for christmas. I am a graphic designer and i'm getting an Asus tuf one because the processor and GPU and upgradable RAM (which will be upgraded) is what i need and will need for the next few years

[full fossil]

Just college work

And some mini overwatch and apex on the side

[random lion]

(BTW NZD.)

I would go light end gaming laptop then, something with a dedicated GPU. Those two games would benefit from them.

[native eagle]

By any chance, is there someone here who owns both the regular ryzen 7 5800X AND the ryzen 7 5800X3D AND plays minecraft?

[full fossil]

And recommendations?

[random lion]

what stores are near you? I'm in NZ so would need to use websites to send you links 🙂

or send me a website to go to

[full fossil]

Best buy, microcenter, Amazon, newegg

There are two i suggest, i haven't got the time this morning (sorry!) to do a cross website search but those two would work well, microsoft office will be fast and you will be able to enjoy those games on the side 🙂

I do however suggest using something like office 365 so you get a 1tb storage for cloud so you don't have the small harddrive limit and also you can access everything from anywhere. I use it to link documents between my devices for example

Damn I found the same exact specs but on a dell gaming laptop, refurbished for 999 cad

I might check this one out

The 2019 one

[random lion]

I am abit of an asus fangirl but i just like how well they perform under pressure, i'm rocking a 6 year old asus strix and shes still going strong, just adobe is asking for much these days

A friend of mine got one for himself, a lower spec one that i chose a year later and he still loves it. I don't mind looking at other laptop manufactures but i just find asus ticks all the boxes i want.

Tbh, making shit smaller and just screwing them on lamppost is a genuinely good idea regarding coverage. Obviously not in big cities where the buildings are way higher than the lamp posts, but in smaller towns?

Generally no

Even if something major happens, the fan should die before the board
