I don’t think many people in the 70-80 age range are out there committing crimes.
Also I had lead water pipes for years. Other than some stupid stuff I did as a kid like run from the cops to avoid an underage, I wasn’t exactly committing any serious crimes. Crime is more often than not a result of the circumstances someone grows up in, like poverty, friends and neighbors, no opportunities, etc.
I’m running it fine thru proton on Linux. I played it a few months back.
Other than the limiting the frame rate on only the final mission due to a bug, it worked great.
Get a OnePlus 13. They’re ~$900 now but that will soon drop when the new model drops, or black Friday or whatever.
No bloat, great specs, a new battery technology that lasts for 2 days for me.
Or you could just do your chores and not drop 20k
Have not ever used words like this tbh
You can still just use individual emulators
I walk around the shop and bullshit with others, maybe clean or organize stuff. Or help build panels if I’m caught up on testing. We’re so busy right now tho those days are kind of long gone. Currently working overtime indefinitely til like 2027 at least.
Some of the biggest data centers are pushing 100 megawatts. When I worked on the solar farms out west, an entire industrial site would be around 200-400 megawatts.
For context, those sites would be powering entire towns. The Blythe mesa solar project is over 2,000 acres of solar panels. It’s bigger than the town. Quite a bit of Las Vegas is ran on solar.
It’s not quite as simple as just sticking panels on the roof of the data center. It also needs to be reliable enough to store the energy so it’s available at night when the sun is down. This is still one of solar’s biggest hurdles.
They fired up an old decommissioned nuke plant in Eastern Pennsylvania to power a Microsoft data center
Sounds like some defeatist bullshit. Playing games all day is no way to live.
Doing things is a way to be happy. I used to go out every week in my early 20’s, still do but not as constantly now that I’m in my 30’s. I love meeting people, making friends, falling in love, playing and seeing live music, working with my hands as an electrician, renovating my home, taking care of and loving my dog, traveling, exercising, biking. Hell I volunteered and planted trees with my city’s local government just because I was kinda bored the one summer. I’m engaged to the love of my life and my future and career is bright. I do all of this for my own fulfillment and for those that I love, the “contribute to society” stuff sounds like a 13 year old’s idea of the Joker. I don’t even have social media, unless you count lemmy I guess, so it’s not to “show off”
Style is more often than not just grooming yourself and looking presentable. Nobody is saying buy a t shirt every week.
“Never be happy with the situation” is also just a pessimistic viewpoint. If you put yourself in new and interesting situations, then you’ll be surprised how much fun or fulfillment or challenging mentally physically whatever they can be. If you don’t like it, then change it and don’t do it. Or don’t, and sit inside all day. It’s your life.
On paper I make around 70k, but with overtime and bonuses and field work it’s more like 85k. This is the most I’ve ever made in my life.
I split my bills three ways with my fiance and a roommate. We live in a LCOL city and I bought a big old 1800 sq ft home during covid. Our mortgage is $860, so with utilities each of our expenses out the door is like ~400 per person. I have no debt other than the mortgage.
I’ve been banking cash to slowly renovate the house myself. Life is good.
Or you can just as easily install a Linux distro, because that’s all steamOS is but slightly game-ified. If anything you’d probably have a better desktop experience with a distro built with that in mind.
So did Pittsburgh and then never replaced it. The only way to get around the city is via bus. There is a light rail system but it basically only goes from the suburbs to downtown
I just work a trade. Nobody is trying to network with the guy there to rewire an electrical system in a steel mill. Unless it’s to poach to jump ship to a different job haha
It’s incredibly common in industrial automation to control things over networking. Usually it’s an Ethernet connection to a computer or laptop interfacing with a PLC that’s running code, but same idea. I’ve built and installed control rooms in steel mills, they’re mostly computers running Siemens or Allen Bradley (Rockwell) software, monitors hooked up to cameras around the mill, and operator stations with push buttons, joysticks, lights, e-stops, etc. And plenty of HMI’s (big touch screens). Think Homer Simpson’s job
My fiance is not into gaming whatsoever. He only played a handful of games as a kid. He’s 30
I saw a dog sitting in the middle of a busy road. Clearly wasn’t a stray, but just lost and confused and all the cars were just driving around it. I got out and lead it to the sidewalk, but my car is still just sitting idle at the intersection. Cue people honking at me to move, because of course. Some drove around me. Finally one dude hops out, tells me to move my car while he holds the dog, then I do the same for him.
The dog has no collar or tags and at this point we’re like well idk what to do now because this is clearly someone’s dog. We poked around a little bit, then call the cops for them to deal with it. Cops show up, say they can take it to the pound to see if it has a chip. We’re literally all picking up this big 80 pound dog into the back of a cop car when a lady comes running down this big hill and is like “that’s my dog”
Like the illegal sports streams? Ehh. I use them to watch games I can’t get over (free) OTA antenna TV. They very frequently cut out and freeze, or get shut down all together and you have to go hunt for a new one. It’s a game of cat and mouse, and can be very annoying when the broadcast is live. I still put up with it because I can’t be assed to pay to watch sports lol.
I wouldn’t bother with a VPN for simply visiting a website and watching a stream. If anything that will make your connection worse, and a lot of those sites detect when you have a VPN active and won’t let you stream.
I highly recommend an antenna TV for picking up local channels if you’re in the states though. I get a few dozen channels, including the major broadcast ones like CBS NBC abc fox, all in HD for free off the air. I actually built one with my dad close to 20 years ago using scrap copper wire, a plank of wood, some PVC pipe to hold the wire, and a coax adapter we got at RadioShack at the mall. You can just buy an antenna on the cheap though if you’d rather not build one.
There never used to be tornadoes in my area. Now there are. With climate change, anything’s possible!
I’m so fuckin tired of this trope that the people who hate gays and are outright dangerous to us are just in the closet. The number of people this actually applies to is a small minority and yet it’s brung up every time anyone remotely homophobic makes the news. Like it can be explained away that the root cause someone wishes to enact violence is he fantasizes about taking it up the butt, as if there’s something wrong or perverted about that, and not just a way of life for millions of people.
