I guess for most people it would be. Certainly I’d be like “sorry dad but I can buy a house an have my future be much more secure” if my kid did the same I’d like to think I’d understand as well…but this is for normal people. To these very well known and well off comedians is 375k that much? It’s like the equivalent of me getting like 5k which I’m not sure I would betray my morals for. Having said that nobody’s offering me 5k to!

Seconded. It’s much more powerful than what I use it for, but it works a treat. We just have a VM for it running and every few months or so renew the image we use. Really this was the solution to waiting for windows updates lol. The USB part wasn’t so bad, but having to update through windows update from scratch every time took ages…

I wonder how many body guards you have to hire until you start to think “hmm maybe if this many people wish me harm I must actually be being a dick, let’s change that!”

Yeah I went 3 months without having a single face to face conversation with someone, it was pretty shit even with online gaming and discord.

I feel like that’s more a problem of whatever specific gyms you are going to. Ones I go to have usually have signs up saying no cameras allowing people to just focus on their own workout. Regardless, the point is that if you want to help people overcome their “the world is against me, no woman wants me” mind set of an incel, there should be more spaces that let people interact with others outside of online algorithm controlled or bot account flooded social media platforms. Places to meet and converse with real people of any gender. All of a sudden they will probably realise that most people are actually nice. Most people don’t generally go around trying to make people feel shit or uncomfortable.

These third spaces don’t have to be exclusively young men lol. In fact it might be better if they aren’t given the specific topic of people we are talking about in this thread. In general an increase in community locations is a good thing, but it seemed especially so for people in the intel rabbit hole. Somewhere casual they can come out of their shells and meet people in the real world!

Yeah and the reason young men are finding it hard to have real life friends and end up on uncle forums is because we lost most of our “third spaces” thanks to them not making money and shutting down or being underfunded or closed if they were publicly owned.

Ontop of this the constant algorithms that push specific topics to people over and over due to it keeping them on the platform and therefore generates income.

It does feel like 75% of this problem could be fixed by stopping corporate greed and fixing our local communities as whole.

Agreed, meant they were backing people up for double the time… However George’s move made me realise perhaps we just need a shortcut, like a joker lap from rally cross but it’s actually quicker not longer, and they are limited to use it once a each only or something.

Are the game developers and artists wages now being increased by the same percentage though? You are correct overall, especially in places like the UK where wages have been stagnant since like 2008 it feels like. But letting a company off the hook for raises “due to inflation” if they themselves are not raising their workers salaries to meet that inflation is bullshit.

Guys, as a European, does this only affects servers and hardware built in the US right? Isn’t most of it built in china and owned by US companies? So it’s literally only the US this will affect?

Already decided not to! There would have been 3-4 of us spending 2 weeks and a combined 10-12k euro in total probably (although flights would have been a European airline)…I have no intention of spending my summer holiday in an ICE detention camp!

Been using EZmeal for a while. It’s not super feature rich but is good enough!

Sure, but now is not the time to be playing party politics. They should put their personal agendas and any hurt feeling aside and vote for the good of the nation. As all politicians should be doing 100% of them time but unfortunately they’re all useless selfish bastards…

Well this seemed like potentially a very convenient fix to a problem I was having but turns out the game I’m trying to play can’t be forced into using the gpu for some reason…. Cool utility though, shame it’s really needed at the same time!

So I actually spent a few seconds thinking about it and I think the main problem would come down to moderation? Ultimately if someone who wrote a paper wanted to distribute it they could do so using existing sites like pastebin or GitHub. The concern with running one myself would be “how do I know this doesn’t contain child abuse images or something”.

How is this a thing? How has nobody just started hosting their own papers? What does it need except a fairly basic website and some storage for the papers themselves? Forgive the ignorance, I’m an IT guy not a scientist…

The safety car / red flag timings have been atrocious for years at this point. It’s like the control team aren’t actually watching the main stream and are only using shitty cctv around the circuit or something.

Immediately after seeing the mirror in the middle of the main straight which is the main overtaking part of this track I called out they need a safety car for a marshal to get on and retrieve it… but they didn’t. Then bottas hit it and spread debris everywhere, they still didn’t safety car to sweep it all up. Then Hamilton and sainz got a puncture and it will took them like 2 mins to deploy the SC….

I feel like maybe f1 could benefit from some sort of “code 60” like zone that NLS and N24 have. A mandatory pit limit area of the track, allows the race to continue for a few mins while a marshal is on track, but keeps them safe still. That way you don’t have a full neutralisation like a full SC, but it’s much safer than a VSC for a person to climb over the barriers to retrieve debris.

Yeah completely right about is what you make of it. For me it was space euro truck simulator. Ofc I then ended up doing smuggling. I then ended up with a bounty on my head for attacking an npc that was collecting slaves from a ship wreck, basically my smuggling competition. Turns out an escape pod floating in space is automatically labelled as a slave by the game, and the npc was trying to rescue a stranded shipwreck survivor. I essentially attacked the Red Cross of space and ended up getting my ass handed to me by bounty hunters… Fun times!

Oh awesome, I’ve been using the webcord version as the others were all shit for screen sharing. Having said that even webcord also has weird sound issue sim hoping are fixed with this.
