  • I fixed that on my grandfathers car with bailing wire, lol

  • How the fuck does Bundy own a palacial 2 story + basement suburban mansion on the salary of an incompetent shoe salesman in a store that gets almost no customers!

  • in defense of that first point, I've been in plenty of cars where the panel under the steering wheel was easy to rip off, whether it was screwed in or not.

    Plastic is not that strong. especially if its an older car.

    especially especially if its a older car thats spent its life in a hot climate.

  • Ah yes, the "WE'RE BEING HACKED, QUICK SHOOT THE MONITORS TO STOP IT!" show.

  • Its funny to fuck around with, in the same way its funny ask a bible bot for Judges 15-16 and watching the bot get autobanned for saying ass.

    thats about all it is though, a stupid silly thing to fuck around with.

    Shouldnt be a production/human replacement thing.

  • 1)Early voting typically heavily favors democrats.

    2)Pass laws that make it so you cant count early/mail in ballots before election day.

    3)Point at the big dump of democratic votes on election day from the mail in/early ballots finally being counted

    4)scream "FRAUD" at the scenario you created to try and create the appearance of impropriety, for the explicit purpose of allowing you to cry fraud.

    Republican voting strategy for the past 3 elections.

  • Minecraft runs great, I dont know about factorio.

    but I know some native versions suck absolute ass and force you to use the windows version via proton regardless. ETS/ATS and Cities Skylines 1 being my immediate personal examples.

  • Just in time for 32gb to become the necessary standard, so they can still sell you egregiously overpriced ram upgrades.

  • I wager your dad has a subscription or something he doesnt want to admit.

  • I'm not too familiar with chrome books, i know some of them are insanely locked down to prevent this.. but see if theres a linux distro compatible with your chromebook, and if its possible to slap a linux install on it.

    save you having to buy a new machine, possibly.

  • AI is nothing more than a way for big businesses to automate more work and fire more people.

    and do that at the expense of 30+ years of power reduction and efficiency gains, to the point that private companies are literally buying/building/restarting old power plants just to cover the insane power demand, because literally operating a power plant is cheaper than paying the energy costs.

    For the common every day person its 3d tv and every other bullshit fad that burned brilliantly for all of 3 seconds before snuffing itself out, leaving people to have had paid for overpriced garbage thats no longer useful.

  • Trump is the best thing to happen for News Media since 9/11.

    And they would do anything to have another 4 years of people obsessively watching/viewing/clicking all day every day to see what insane thing hes done to the country next.

  • The imagination came from the limitations of the hardware.

    Computers today are too powerful for gaming. Its resulted all the famous studios racing to the bottom with graphics their primary and generally only concern, and everything else coming a distant second.

    But at least it left the door open for indie devs, whose lack of resources and experience are still capable of keeping that ember of imagination and innovation burning.

  • I love that about CRTs, man.

    How the fuck could we invent a tiny pocket sized particle accelerator electron beam gun that magnetically aimed its fire with such precision as to hit every individual phosphor, with the appropriate charge to make the right color, across an entire fucking screen, and do that 30+ times a second (for TV, or 60+ for a monitor)..

    Yet the LCD is the high tech fancy monitor when its just a little grid of globs being electronically fired? How did the CRT get invented before the LCD?!

  • say what you want about America and its ridiculous lawsuit happiness... but I've never seen anyone in America sue over a farewell card they didnt get, presumably because they're the kind of selfinvolved asshole that sues over not getting a goddamn card

  • It wasnt a half measure.

    Its just, when you roll out a revolutionary change in the way things are done, like the ACA was, there are going to be issues that pop up after rollout that no one could predict.

    Which is why you need follow up legislation to address those unpredictable holes/cracks/issues.

    and unfortunately the only way thats gonna happen is with a supermajority of democrats who have the cajones to just ram the shit through without playing games and without trying to get the republicans involved, because the republicans will stop at nothing to prevent anything they see as a "win" for democrats, no matter how much misery and suffering it causes the American people. They'll watch their own mothers suffocate to death from preventable disease rather than let the dems have a "win".

    and to top off the absolute miserable bastardry, they'll then run campaign ads for the next 12 months talking about how democrats are mother-smotherers

  • ACA only sucked cause Republicans blocked every attempt to address the faults and issues that only became apparent after rolling it out.

  • Hey, thats all the more reason for us not to have it.

    We're America, god damnit. American Exceptionalism demands we pave a different path. A rugged path. Like the men of the wild west! We cant use the same idea everyone else has, thats just filthy socio-communism!
