Of course not, they are owed this because of oppression or something. Fuck.

So much for all those studio purchases. What a waste.

You’re in the wrong sub.

That’s not manipulation, that’s how this works. Stock investors always buy the bad news, when it’s expected bad news. Given all the turmoil that tanked the stock earlier this year, it was expected shipments would slow. So now is the time to buy back in because there’s a decent chance sales will pick back up again. Disclaimer this is a simplified and generalized overview.

Yes, look on their website for compatible models, there’s a handful of affordable ones, many which perform better on higher tier connections too. Been using my own modems with Comcast for 25 years.

You didn’t list the hardware or what the temps used to be before this. Assuming it’s a recent increase from sane normals, your best course of action is to move the system, give it a thorough cleaning, and change the thermal interface material. Underclock / undervolt is a temporary solution as inadequate heat dissipation can still occur even if the temps appear normal, degradation will continue.

You won’t brick the computer by moving it and changing the thermal paste. If you’re not confident enough, just watch a video or two online about how to handle the system, I bet there’s videos of your specific hardware out there. You’re more likely to incorrectly configure the hardware via software controls than you are to damage it by swapping the thermal paste.

Doubt this is gonna lower prices. I’ll still only buy local jams and jellies.

I was taught that bat shit (guano) is toxic to humans in ways that can make the person “go crazy” before they die. Similar to mercury poisoning and being a “mad hatter” from the days of mercury lined headwear.

Yeah, soft serve is just frozen sugar milk, comes in cartons like regular milk and you can totally just drink it, tastes a bit like whole milk but clearly with an unhealthy amount of sugar in it.

They first started selling hamburgers in 1958.

The wiki has all the info you need.

Since you’re asking for opinions, I think you might be overreacting. But that’s totally natural after an accident!

That said, if you’re considering never driving again, then you really have to be sure that’s possible. If your family pushed you into it in the first place, they might already know that it isn’t feasible to rely on public transport where you live. That is extremely common in the US, because there is so much damn space between everything in most places. If you have to rely on others to fill the gaps where public transit fails, then you have to really consider if you’re doing more harm than good by refusing to drive. Ultimately the decision is up to you but there’s lots to consider here that we don’t have all the information for. It’s a good skill to have but requires maintenance to keep.

I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.

2024 model here, supports ipods, wired and wireless CarPlay/ android auto, 3.5mm aux, Bluetooth. Only thing it doesn’t have is physical media (cd, dvd, cassette). If you plug in an iPhone that supports CarPlay, but turn off / disallow CarPlay from the phone settings, it just shows up as “iPod” too, so any downloaded music works fine.

That’s the thing though. NASA effectively deemed reuse an abject failure. They just sunk-cost their way through the SLS program until they couldn’t get the budget needed to keep to keep it up anymore. Also, do we even need to mention Challenger and Columbia? Or Apollo 1?

Elon is no more than a front-man for the band that is SpaceX who is doing the real engineering and hard work on this insanely huge project. All those engineers and workers who put everything they have into it are what is making this possible. The nazi can fuck off and SpaceX will still be able to achieve these incredible goals.

I’d also like to provide another gentle reminder that the way SpaceX are going about designing, iterating, and testing is completely different from the approach NASA and others have taken traditionally. Even Blue Origin are doing it the “safe” way more or less and are still having tons of problems. This is an extremely difficult thing to do at all. What people like to highlight as failures and “haha <thing> bad” are kinda the point. This past launch they built out a whole new flight profile for super heavy that pushed it beyond its calculated and simulated limits, to see how it behaves, which is why they didn’t attempt to catch this time.

Starship block 2 design is significantly larger than shuttle was. Total cargo volume is already multiples of what shuttle could carry to space and is set to get larger in future designs as early as block 3. Shuttle also rode on a largely one-shot SLS rocket that was a lot smaller (by volume) than super heavy. It had reusable SRBs that were recovered but refurbishment was essentially the same cost as new. Meanwhile they have already caught booster multiple times and reused one, beating SLS in just tests.

It’s important to remember that both super heavy and starship are two separate projects and testbeds doing their own range of things while being literally the largest thing ever built and launched. The carrying capacity to orbit and beyond is completely unprecedented.

People laugh at the fact that it will take ~15-20 super heavy launches to refill one starship in orbit. But if they pull it off, it will be the only platform capable of bringing up to ~200 tonnes of capacity to the moon and beyond. That’s way more than Saturn V. And eclipses what shuttle ever did. Again, all while attempting to be completely reusable.

I believe this is the 4th (or is it 5th?) time starship successfully reached orbit too (just lacking an insertion burn which is on purpose for these tests). But it’s also important to keep in context the fact that starship and super heavy are so big, while trying to be completely reusable and be assembly lined. Very different goals, technology, and ideas happening between the generations. One starship launch intends to replace between 3 and 5 falcon 9 launches if they can nail down the reliability.

“FromSoft’s singular mech game”

What?

Armored Core?

I just want id to do something else. Doom is fun and all but they’ve kinda perfected it.

I would make the case for proxmox on the machine so you can divvy up the hardware as you see fit— but also setup the hard drives as a zfs1 pool (1 redundancy failure allowed). This way you can make multiple isolated machines or use LXC containers directly for apps, services, etc. while benefiting from ZFS’s excellent performance and reliability. I would say that TrueNAS Scale has been a bit of a letdown for me because it feels bloated, easy to make mistakes with complicated setups, and I have less control over the hardware. I don’t like how updates have fully broken apps. That said it is a reliable ZFS wrapper with more bells and whistles in the UI over what proxmox offers— caveat being that both can do everything if you want to take the time to learn ZFS commands.

There is also the TrueNAS based alternative HexOS that is more beginner friendly for just getting a nice NAS setup fast while still supporting apps / containers.

Thank you! This is a wonderful post, I will take another shot this weekend and hopefully something will stick this time :)
