If it was biometric login, even easier. Would've gotten in before thebody even got cold.

Do you get shitty at pilots for landing the plane and just assuming everyone on board is good to get home from the airport, or would you like them to pay for 200 cab fares as well?

It's their job to fix people's shitty cars, not their shitty life admin skills.

We always just pick some key places, get transport (usually a hire van) and just go explore. Best thing is to go into small local places and ask them about cool stuff around. People are always friendly and love hearing about where you're from and what you're into, and the local suggestions are always stellar. Lots of times we've had people tell us a popular place is pretty shit and another lesser known place is way better. Most of the trip is unplanned apart from the key locations and expected travel route. But we'll skip stuff if we find something cooler or get advised to check out another place a day out of the way. We've diverted from plans lots of times, and because that's loosely the plan, it's super fun and rewarding.

It's also important to go do your own things and get out of each other's faces. Im into a lot of stuff she isn't and vice versa. So some days we go check out our own stuff and do our own things, then at the end of the day we share our adventures and anything cool we found we think we should check out later. I also tend to make friends easy, so it's not unusual for her to meet me and some fellow travellers at a bar and we exchange how our trips are going, what's cool, what's not, and suggestions on where to go next. Locals and other travellers are always friendly like that and it's obviously super interesting learning more and sharing about yourself and home country, where they should go if they ever visited it.

Lastly, don't stay in one place too long unless there's a reason like you're snowboarding for a few days, or something like that. Things can get real boring when you've seen enough but are still stuck there for a couple more days. That's why we usually opt for a 5 person van over hotels, little hotel room on wheels and costs about the same. It's also frustrating getting to a new place and it's awesome, but you're meant to fly out soon and you wish you didn't waste that extra day or two at the place you weren't having much fun.

It's important to remember, everything is just another town or city like where you came from. It's the culture and experiences you're chasing there which you can't get back at home. "Can I do this at home? Yeah." move on.

The timing of my phone coming off charge in the morning, going to work, then heading home, it's often at 69%. Almost always within a couple % above or below.

I know when this stops happening and I'm seeing 50s, probably means my battery's getting near end of life.

So, they're just gonna let some far-right idiots ruin a much deeper and longstanding culture?

Well, done.

Even if true, it'd be an official act.

That it's once again set in the US.

It doesn't even mean that, since there's all the oppressive social rights they support. A free market may be the only common ground shared with right libertarianism, then things go wildly different

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

"American lib" is a very different thing to a libertarian. It confuses the hell out of the rest of the world when you lot do that. Suddenly the conversation flips randomly, "Oh, wait they mean American libs which are actually mostly anti-libertarianism."

There are other words to describe what American libs are. Just because they think they're libertarian, certainly doesn't mean you call them that.

You forgot what they're already saying; God sent his angels to move the bullet.

Don't want to make any Americans feel bad, but that's where your country is at right now. No one's going to think less of you if you'd like to come join us elsewhere.

But did you know polar bears have black skin?

And no, you cannot find the original post anymore. At least it's missing for me, the OP, unless I locate it through inbox history.

Coincidentally, the meme was about mods on shitposts lol. I'll be banned soon 🫡

Gaming

  • Mostly a huge array of co-op games, performance doesn't matter much, just good 1440 frame rate with high settings.
  • HOWEVER, sim racing is my exception and I'm wanting to upgrade from a single 27" to something more immersive. Considering I'm on the most minimal, a TV, triple 24s, or VR are all big immersion upgrades, but each with their pros and cons. But all demanding more of the GPU,ideally keeping rates at 120, even 90 maybe... 1080 for triples, but ideally 1440 all-round to make use of FSR better.

Data Science

  • I need my PC to be a workhorse. Many hours of my week are ETL of big datasets and complex models. Lots of calculation time and lots of loading tables/arrays into memory for queries and transforms.
  • Ive recently gone up to 32GB DDR4 3600 (going to go to 64) and an R9 5900X. It's done nothing huge for gaming, but it's increased my data crunching tasks significantly.

What I have right now...

Guts

  • Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
  • MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card
  • Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

Storage (This is way behind)

  • Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
  • Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
  • And some ancient 2TB 7200 HDD that's a dying archive only drive

Primary display

  • Acer Nitro XZ272U Pbmiiphx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor

Cooling

  • Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case
  • Deepcool LT520 85.85 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Where I'm stuck...

  • Should I go up to AM5 even though I just got the 5900X?
  • Do I then go DDR5 instead of 64GB DDR4 or am I getting too many year's ahead of myself?
  • The 6700XT is not overclocking friendly, for sim racing I may need to bump up if going for more display.
  • For storage, what's the best way to go for a bunch of games installed, but also not having stuff get in the way of data crunching applications and calculations? Should I reserve a drive purely for data? Can I dedicate anything to it on top of the 64GM RAM coming in?
  • Lastly, the display conundrum for sim racing; VR, TV, triples... 49" UW on top of any above upgrades is just way over budget.

I'm basically just after ideas of what to prioritise next, what can wait a while, and what path I should be starting on for future-proofing without spending the budget on future gear too soon while it's all expensive.

Advice much appreciated.
