Just being born in some geographical location doesn’t make you a decendant of their people. You are a decendant of where your ancestors are from. If your family doesn’t celebrate their heritage then pick the one that best describes where they come from. Maybe sit down and ask your parents or grand parents some questions about your ancestry so you can come to an identity based on facts.

How considerate of them. I don’t expect the whiney asses who’ve been bitching and lying for the last eight years to stop regardless of who wins. What will they do without their core personality trait?

The Free Press. (They are a monthly subscription) Journalists who left the New York Times. I find most of their articles to be refreshing and insightful. They seem to be truly middle-left for American politics. They don’t try and feed on outrage to gain clicks. You’ll find less low hanging fruit like Trump rage-bait, and provide more thoughtful, unbiased reporting like NPR used to back in the day. I learned about them from an article where a right-leaning NPR editor did an interview with them about lack of balance at NPR and was subsequently fired for his views. As someone who’s listened to NPR for decades It really hit home as I listened to it happen over the years in real time. I value balance over the unchecked shift to one side or the other. I really enjoy the Friday editorial newsletter, TGIF. The humor is a good way to wrap up the week.

If I have one complaint it’s that the stories skew Israel/Jewish heavy, but given that the founder is Jewish. I understand why and can forgive it. They have plenty of good talent working other stories so there is always a good read.

The two D’s are for a “double-dose of pimpin”.

She has not gone out of her way to criticize Trump, and has instead treated both Trump and Harris as being equally bad…

I’m sold.

… I’m pretty sure their pixel art was “heavily inspired” by Castlevania from the start. The last time I played it I noticed it started shifting away from that.

What is the actual quality of the game?

Did you know about this game? Did you buy and play this game? Did you actually like this game?

Are you one of the ~220 people who bought this game and didn’t spread the word to their friends.

It sounds to me like this game sucks. Maybe it was rotten from the start. Maybe they were forced to hire a bunch of mentally ill people with a massive chip on their shoulder to ‘advise’ and change the game to tick some boxes on a list. ( don’t you just love having fun according to a list of prescribed requirements? ) I bet the people working on it like that. Talk about a soul sucking job without passion. We will probably never know the truth.

5x 5 gallon jugs of water. A few weeks worth of canned goods. A stack of fire wood. Solar panels and a few batteries to charge small devices like radios. A couple of GMRS radios and a couple of HAM radios. Propane tanks and propane heaters.

Harry and Dudley bond over Monty Python?

I’ve seen that it tends to affect phones with a mechanical zoom camera. Like iPhones and Galaxy’s. My bike has apple car play built in, so I tend to just keep my phone in my pocket and use the cross bar controls on the left handle to navigate the menus, no need to take my hands off the bars to tap a damn screen while going over bumps.

How are your knees? I saw that episode as a kid. Mine make noises when I stand up.

Windows 11 has taken a feature from Linux distros called “Task View” where you can create additional “desktops”. You could do something similar with that and forego the additional laptop/desktops.

This might be a little unorthodox, but this is an option to reduce hardware costs and maximize desktops.

• 1x PC
• 4x Monitors (or more if you want to buy another video card)
• 1x server to be used as a Proxmox Virtualization Environment server to host as many desktop OS’s as you want.

you can split your four-monitor workstations’ screen real estate any way you like. keep using the same mouse and keyboard and just tab through the virtual workstations that you need to work on.

Proxmox is free for personal use. You can run it on a dedicated desktop workstation connected to your network. you are limited to the resources in your hardware. RAM, CPU, Storage. you’ll be slicing that up between the number of Virtual Machines that you create, so think about what you will be wanting. For example, if your specs are one desktop with 8G of ram and 128G of disk space. multiply that time the number of workstations you want, add the basic requirements of Proxmox as a server, and you have a good idea of what you are going to need.

If you want tons of resources you could buy a decommissioned server off of ebay. something akin to a Dell R720 or better. They can be upgraded to quite a bit of RAM and storage space. I think mine has something like 2 physical CPU’s @ 32 cores, 256G of RAM, and 3.2T of disk space (RAID10). I paid around $500 for mine a few years ago. and a few dollars more to max out the RAM, and a few dollars more to add some sold state drives in the drive bays. The entire system came in under the cost of a mid-range gaming pc. or a little under the price of one NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080.

The Democrats are out of time, and they could rush to nominate her as their candidate in August. It’s likely they will find the best polling candidate, and I hope they look for someone outside the Biden/Harris administration. Someone without the baggage of the last four years and complicit in hiding the condition of the current president.

Personally I hope they ask Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to lead. (If she will accept) Of all the possible nominees I’ve read about she has the most experience.

Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. Kurt punched his card before it could happen to him too.

Home schooled. Socially awkward. Hmm. /s

I do the same thing. I use all as my home page so I can see new and interesting stuff.

I tend to block most 'ism and 'ism-adjacent communities, Foreign language communities, political communities, NSFW/Fetish, and a few highly specific tech/app/language communities that mostly only post version updates.

Bots. lots of bots. If your community is 90% bot posts/repost aggregation and I see 5-10 posts consecutively in ‘all’ because your bot just vomited up it’s entire load in a 120 second span then I’ll probably block it.

People today tend to fixate on the things that are out of their control. Perhaps it’s because we have lost our coping mechanisms. Perhaps it’s because they never learned any. We live in the most technologically advanced point in time we have ever known. Few of us need to go out and till the earth to grow our own food. The majority of us don’t have to physically work as hard as previous generations. Adults and our children find their enjoyment and existential dread by watching tiny screens filled with useless entertainment. Maybe things are fine. We just make shitty choices about what to do with our time, and what we give our attention to.

Final Fantasy VII. Don’t change the story. Don’t change the combat. Don’t change the open world. Don’t add a damn card game. Don’t add a damn VR training session. Don’t split it up into episodes.

Just update the graphics and fix bugs.

If people like it, then do VIII next.

Sounds like my Sony Bravia
