Danish, not Dutch.

I’ve spoken to enough Dutch people to know that no matter how hard you try, nothing makes sense in Dutch.

But ‘sands’ gets used as well, like when talking about collective different type of sands. So there would be nothing wrong with saying “I have different color LEGOs” if your intention is as “green LEGO and yellow LEGO”… At least that’s how I read it, right?

It’s not there as some commentary by Christopher Nolan that the moon landings didn’t happen. It’s there to show that schools are willing to teach a lie as long as it serves the narrative of “past oppulence is what destroyed our world, so get out there and be a farmer!”

Everyone rolls 1s except for one person that rolls an 8.

It’s just like giong to work!

Aw Ffff…

I’ve got a pair of vice grips somewhere in my flat.

It’s not even that big of a flat, and I don’t even have that much stuff. There’s no way I ever left the flat with them. Yet they’ve completely disappeared.

The sweet spot is the 40-60% load.

But it doesn’t make that much of a difference. The efficiency swing is maybe 10%. Like an bronze 80 rated PSU will have a minimum efficiency of 80%, but even if you’re at the 50% load mark it won’t be over 90% efficient.

The main point (to me anyways) is that its dumb to pay more for a power supply just so you can pay "more* on your power bill. If your idle load is 100W and your gaming load is 300W, you’ve got no reason running more than a 600W PSU

I remember the trustafarians in college 20 years ago that would claim your hair naturally cleans itself and it doesn’t smell.

They always smelled.

My grocery store just changed from 6 registers + self-checkout to 2 registers + 12 self checkout.

And the register lanes used to always be full.

I do not look forward to going to the store now. It’s a mess.

A landlord that owns a streaming service who tries to argue that usage of that streaming service allows them to not be sued by fucking up your food order.

A couple years agoI (at the time mid 30s male) was coming back from a movie with my GF at about 11pm waiting for a bus in the UK. Two moderately drunk guys (looked to be about 10 years younger?) were waking down the same sidewalk, and about 2 steps after they passed us, one of them turns around and goes “Mate…”, me and my GF look over and he’s looking me up and down, “… NICE ass!” then fist bumps me and keeps walking.

She was like “what the fuck was that?”

I said “meh, it happens”.

Time for the most productive part of my day

No, this was 2 months ago

Its an independent band that runs their own merch table after the show. Its not a band with 3+ decades of content that can charge $50 for a shirt.

I just turned 40. For my birthday I went to go see a small disco funk band. They run their own merch table, tour around the country in a van, have day jobs, etc. I wanted to support them so I was gonna buy a T-shirt, but it was $25, I only had $20 on me, and they didn’t take card. So I got a $15 CD. They also didn’t have any change, so I had to wait 5 minutes for them to go to the bar and get them to break a 20.

Then I got home and realized I didn’t even have a CD player. So I dug out an old DVD drive and installed in my desktop, ripped the CD to FLAC, pulled the drive out, and threw the CD into my old box of CDs I haven’t opened in 10+ years…

We travel into the future at the blindingly fast rate of one second per second.

Haha cute.

When XIV came out in the first couple weeks people were trying hard to get their relic weapons and you had to clear Garuda, ifrit, and titan hard mode. We had an 8 man raid group, and most of us had taken work off for a week or more. We LAN partied in one of our living rooms and when the odd one of us wasn’t online we’d just super drunk and run party finder one man down to drag some lucky random person through their relic check marks. One time I forgot to equip my job shard on Ifrit and not until the healers called for Mage’s ballad did we figure it out. Still made the kill, all the while this random person in our group was like “what on the absolute fuck is wrong with you people?! That was incredible!” We still joke that was world first Ifrit Hard mode Archer kill.

That was a really fun game with it came out. Lots of friends made being way more relaxed than WoW heroic guilds at the time.

For the record, FFIV and FFIX are the best :)

Stop masturbating with the other

i mean, the question was about waking my computer up from sleep. I don’t think that would trigger sticky keys, even on windows.

I hit Shift+Ctrl 3 times. Its easy enough and the pattern works on my desktops and laptops so I only have to remember one behavior to wake up all my devices

I use mine for Star Power in Clone Hero (Guitar Hero-ish game)

Way back in the day I always wanted one to use as my push to talk key for Ventrilo… But these days with noise reduction algorithms, boom mics with cardioid sensitivity spaces, and adjustable activation threshold, I just leave my mic on auto activate.

I should probably find something else to use it for…
