Exchange contact info with someone after the accident then that someone is extremely petty. That’s my guess.

I didn’t grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.

Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.

But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

A well insulated freezer that never opens would use very little power once it’s already cooled. The impressive bit of this comic would be large thin pieces of glass providing enough insulation.

I’m also in the desktop camp. But I just purchased a Framework 16. The upgradable dGPU (assuming they release new ones) might make laptops more viable for gaming.

Japan is just 100V, not 110/115/120, there are some appliances that will use 200V. Similar to how the US has 240V. The weird bit with Japan uses both 50 and 60hz.

Japan is 100V

Good news, It’s coming out on PC.

As someone who owns an LG C1, not a single DP in sight.

Not surprisingly, North Korea’s Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.

Is it Hell Let Loose? I started playing it since they support Linux now, very well done Battlefield-like game. I haven’t played much BF since 1942.

If you’re not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.

According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There’s been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.

According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It’s a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.

Interesting, I’ll have to look at the source article.

But as far as I’m aware the total amount of nuclear power has been decreasing in recent years. This might change with China’s future plants.

I’ve also read about small modular reactor designs gaining traction, which would help alleviate the heavy costs of one off plants we currently design and build.

Not saying the source is wrong, just saying that’s what I used to form my opinion.

I think that’s too simplistic of a view. Part of the high cost of nuclear is because of the somewhat niche use. As with everything, economies of scale makes things cheaper. Supporting one nuclear plant with specialized labor, parts, fuel, etc is much more expensive then supporting 100 plants, per Watt.

I can’t say more plants would drastically reduce costs. But it would definitely help.

Go to a library, some have scanners with feeders that will scan to a flash drive.

I’m not sure what definition of UBI you’re using, but not all forms of UBI need to cover the entirety of living expenses. UBI is just having income without strings attached. This very study is showing that even small amounts of money can help people get out of shitty situations.

Also as someone who lives in Dever, it’s not that expensive. Sure $1500+ is what you’ll pay around LoDo, but there are plenty of cheaper places.

A solid that isn’t undergoing any sort of chemical reaction isn’t going to smell because there isn’t anything to smell. You need a molecule to enter your nose to smell. That’s my basic understanding, someone smarter than I can explain it better.

Also I’m not sure any country still uses iron for coins.

I agree with the other posters, your hardware is going to hold you back. But you could try switching to a lighter desktop environment like LXDE instead of GNOME. This user found a small increase in performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/dg87jp/does_the_desktop_environment_matter_for_gaming/

But they had somewhat beefy hardware. If you’re truly at the limit of your specs, 100% CPU/RAM usage, your performance increase could be even more.

No? Set termostat to a lower temp in the winter so the heater doesn’t stay on as long. Higher temp in the summer so the AC doesn’t stay on.

Another reason to keep it closer to the outdoor temp is clothing. I loathe places in the winter that have the heat cranked up, I dressed for the cold, I don’t want to melt because businesses crank the heat up to 80F for some reason. Same with the summer, I’m shivering cause I dressed for 90F but inside is in the high 60’s.

That site is showing literacy improvement for 4th graders since 2003. It also says “21% of Americans 18 and older are illiterate in 2022.” but then another graph showing “United States 86.0 %” in global ranking of literacy. It’s just a hodgepodge of stats being semi-sourced with little to no conext, it even includes Wikipedia as a source.

I’m not saying there’s no literacy problems in the US, I just don’t know what to make of that site specifically.
