The irony is, unlike the old days - actually AMD (ATI) is recommend for Linux now because the drivers are better.

This is in stark contrast to the fglrx days where that driver was an absolute abortion and NVIDIA was really the only usable one.

Not sure when you started your Linux journey but I avoided AMD for years based on that.

Now the tables have turned but I didn't realize until after I purchased my NUC which has NVIDIA RTX graphics. So I guess I'm stuck on NVIDIA for the foreseeable future

^ this guy corporates

Also, new manager would be part owner in a UX design firm of "experts" that conveniently, via their expert advice, convince management that a major redesign is needed and their firm is the only one that can do it (since everyone knows you can't get expert advice internally)

80% of the way through the project, the manager gets promoted and moves on, leaving a new manager with no vested interest in their predecessors project to try and clean up the steaming dumpster fire that is now 300x over budget

In a free market, aren't you free to collude with your competitors in order to fix prices?

When we were kids my brother spontaneously got a bleeding nose in the car and all my mother had on hand was a tampon.

She screwed him up real good

Ah, I misread. I thought they were saying acetone = acetic acid but actually they were just saying there was something worse

[–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I believe you're mixing up acetone with acetic acid

Oh is THAT why every American knows how big 9mm is

Well, yeah. Anything less than 0 is freezing and anything greater than 0 isn't.

What are you talking about? TempleOS isn't a punishment, it's a reward

 

I know this community is probably dead but what the hell.

Rum spirit run. Why am I using a reflux column for rum, shouldn't it be pot stilled?

Yes, yes it should be. However I'm using the reflux condenser to just introduce a small amount of reflux to help compress the heads / tails, nowhere near the same amount of reflux as if I was trying to make neutral spirit.

Anyway it works, the spirit coming off is much "prettier" and less offensive than it would have been running in pot mode, while still retaining flavours from the molasses

 

Im quite surprised by this, isn't Parliament a crown/british concept? And Te Pati Maori are usually quite opposed to Crown concepts.

Regardless, I think as much hate as ACT gets for this - it seems obvious that clarity on the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi is required so that every New Zealander knows where they stand (legally speaking) and we can move on as a country.

The different interpretations from different groups are distracting from the real issues because the solution gets muddied.

Should we establish group-specific organisations that all do the same thing, just for different segments of society - or should we pour our energy and resources into making organisations work for all New Zealanders?
