There are so many Java libraries that I would probably set on fire if they were physically tangible in any way.

2016->2019

😬

Dead people accounts.

In a similar vein, not Rob Schneider the actor, but that racist stereotype Mexican he plays in a bunch of movies. I would find it hilarious in a “I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude” way.

Wait.

RDJ playing Rob Schneider playing that character.

My router actually can’t keep up Even with deep packet inspection and all the security features turned off I can’t crack 1700. If I connect directly to their provided router I get the full 2K. (I have a first version unifi dream machine pro, the SE supposedly handles it just fine).

It was a long road, getting from there to here.

2000/1000

I’ve got a friend with potato feet who wears buckets for shoes. Keen is his go-to.

For what it’s worth, I’ve bought two laptops from them in the last four years and had tons of problems initially (there were both essentially pre orders, first run laptops). A few minutes on the phone, some trouble shooting,and I had replacements for both overnighted for free. Zero issues with the replacements in both cases.

So yes, don’t order the brand newest Lenovo. Get the one a generation old at deeep discount.

That guy was definitely a time traveler.

I’m going to go the other way and recommend The Fifth Season, which is technically a fantasy trilogy but which has won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, because (as if that wasn’t a spoiler) it’s got a ton of sci Fi in it.

It’s basically about people on a planet that keeps dying. They’ve had to deal with so many apocalyptic events that prepping for the next one defines the entirety of their civilization. If you want a window into the psychology of a society constantly on the verge of destruction, I can’t think of a better series.

Fire.

I remember being convinced I remembered Riker saying this (arguing with a friend) which is how I discovered who voiced Xanatos.

Coffee.

I’m not aware of anything outside of the civil war. There have been impeached governors sure, but the feds stepping in to stop one or more states from being egregiously bad happened only once that I know of.

Don’t forget to cut Texas up into three roughly equal categories:

The loud fascists fomenting this shit

Their quiet neighbors who hate them, their ideas, and every single word they ever utter.

The Oblivious / Disinterested

And statistically, about half of each of those categories are armed.

I can’t speculate as to what Abbot wants, but he’s definitely asking for an armed confrontation with the U.S. Military, and as a Texan, I think Biden should give only Abbot exactly that.

Bad picture for an article advocating communication and de escalation.The entire plot with Azula is that she’s so incredibly inflexible and self absorbed that she cannot be reasoned with. Her character arc ends with her literally screaming in chains.

you might be the only person who added weapons. That’s incredible, if this was reddit, cancer ray would have been post 3 or 4, max.

Salad bars would be a lot less common.

Eat more fish.

Yep, they call them land bridges. More of a hill than a mountain, but the meme is right!

WFH

RTO

that visualization doesn’t help, at all

2X better than a 10 sphere.

I’d be that guy that makes all those useless inventions, except they’d be incredibly useful to me and like 2 other people.

Steps to easy aquarium life:

1. Buy huge tank

2.stock with cheap mixed/hybrid cichlids

3.enjoy the multigenerational thunderdome.

I have twice as many fish as I bought, and it’s been a decade+.

Strange New Worlds has you covered.

I suppose the cool thing about lemmy is that if you want your instance to be insular you could always defederate.

Maybe it’s old enough that some people never had to deal with it, but before Steam, being able to play a game on a different version of Windows than what it came out for was a crapshoot. Playing on Linux was even MORE of a crapshoot. I remember when I got Team Fortress running on Linux for the first time (at like 10 FPS) and was ecstatic.

Linux gaming existed before steam, but Steam (and Valve) brought Linux gaming to the masses.

I could probably dump discord, but there’s just no alternative to Steam. It succeeded, where literally every other publisher failed, to unify game distribution on the PC. Even if valve made steam itself FOSS and let anyone clone it, there’s no chance in hell they’ll get anyone but the most indi of studios to launch anything on it, let alone exclusively.

Of all the proprietary codebases and their companies, Steam and Valve are the only ones I respect.

(Also Slack, but I’m forced to use that for work)
