Did you buy those pants or make them? Where would one buy pants with fire-breathing unicorns on them?

Yea, as the other person mentioned, to my knowledge (which is limited) the video decoding in the browser on Linux tends to be browser and hardware specific. I know it’s gotten easier over the past couple years tho.

It will choose for you, but you can select specific drivers if you’d like. I’ve only had to mess with installing specific drivers on edge cases.

PopOS in my opinion. It (mostly) solves the issue of getting the drivers needed to run GPUs.

It’s not a vaccine problem, it’s an education problem. A large portion of Americans are exceptionally gullible to propaganda and Republicans have weaponized it very well. The anti-vax narrative is not present in large portions of the population in other developed nations. We need to look within, not at the solution to disease.

Edit: Unfortunately others are informing me that this is a problem in other countries as well, which is sad. My partners family is from a country in Europe that doesn’t appear to have this issue at scale so I foolishly extrapolated.

Agreed. My middle-aged friend talked this movie up like crazy until I finally watched it. It was meh.

I’ve had at least a dozen dreams of trying to text someone during an emergency and I’m unable to do so. I keep fat fingering the buttons and it won’t send.

“The backdoor targeted SSH servers by hooking into OpenSSH’s cryptographic functions through the liblzma.so library.”

Not exactly academic in this case.

“On Sunday, while on a hunting safari with us in South Africa’s Limpopo Province, Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo. He was tracking it together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers. This is a devastating incident, and our hearts go out to his loved ones.”

Go fuck yourself Coenraad and Vermaak Safaris. Unprovoked my ass. You were trying to murder the Buffalo. Also, stop calling this shit hunting. You can’t lead a millionaire douchbag with a gun out into a ranch with a tracker and call him hunter. Are you going to pull the trigger for him too?

“Such tension is especially rife in rural areas, despite the end of the racist system of apartheid more than 30 years ago. Most private farmland remains in the hands of the white minority, while most farm workers are black and poorly paid, fuelling resentment among the black population, while many white farmers complain of high crime rates.”

That last sentence sounds familiar. Gee-whiz, I wonder why the crime rates are so high?

Well the head of the EPA called climate change “a religion” so that ship has sailed for the US.

Congrats on playing “life” in hard mode and getting ahead. And props to your mom.

Two questions:

1. Do you have a relationship with your dad?
2. How did you stay out of the drugs/violence growing up?

Nice! Congrats on the position.

Two questions: If my math is accurate, you did so for three years. What are you doing for work now?

I was friends with a girl who had a customer buy her a hot water tank ($1200) as a tip when she was in the industry. He was one of those lonely men that was more interested in human connection than the stripping. She would talk about her problems and one day her hot water took a shit and he offered to replace it. Did you have any crazy things happen like that?

Andy Capp use to have a version called “salsa fires” and they were the superior Andy Capp fry. But alas, they discontinued them many years ago.

It’s like accents. Did you know America is the only place that doesn’t have language accents? We just speak normal English here.

It’s not ignorance, it’s bribery (lobbying). The oil industry wants to take advantage of green energy incentives to build more gas power plants.

Also I love the hypocrisy here:

“In 2024, Gov. Landry signed a pro-gas proclamation stating that “Louisiana recognizes natural gas as an affordable, reliable, and clean energy resource,” and that efforts to transition away from fossil fuels stand to “devastate” Louisiana consumers and economic growth.”

But also:

“Entergy customers will be on the hook for $470 million to finance the project, according to filings with the Louisiana Public Service Commission and the Midcontinent Independent Service Operator, as reported by New Orleans City Business.”

Yea, I think you are correct. The BBB will be voted on July 4th, not the budget. I had my facts backward. That said, I still don’t anticipate a lot of DHS pushback. Although I hope congress does change it considerably. It’s a mess as is.

It’s already passed the house. The senate plans on voting on it by July 4th. So far, no push back from senate republicans on the DHS side of things.

According to Wikipedia:

“The Republican-led Senate is expected to amend the bill.[63] Fiscally conservative Republican Senators (nicknamed “deficit hawks”) such as Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, have pushed for deeper spending cuts.[63][64] Moderate Republicans such as Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Jerry Moran of Kansas, along with populist Josh Hawley of Missouri, have expressed concerns about Medicaid cuts.[63][65] Other moderates such as John Curtis of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, along with Murkowski and Moran, have also expressed concerns over the end of green energy tax credits.[63] Defense hawks such as Mike Rounds of South Dakota are opposed to spectrum auction provisions in the bill.”

I keep seeing posts like this, but the sad truth is they are going to be just fine. The DHS just got a 65% increase in their budget for 2026 to go to 60 billion dollars. I believe this is the largest percentage increase since it began. That is almost 4x the budget of NASA and includes 40 billion in discretionary spending.

Even if they run out of money before September, Congress will trip over themselves to give them more money. There are zero checks on Noem at this point.
