Very much so. They just call them “gifts” from “friends” and that’s the end of it.

Pressure and mockery? Pretty sure he died of physical abuse and malnutrition. He didn’t die because Putin made him sad.

The whole point of the cat thing was to point out the absurdity of the claim that reality isn’t real until you know about it. The cat is already in whatever state you observe when you open the box. It’s not both alive and dead, it’s either alive or dead. The thought experiment isn’t serious, and it’s not supporting the idea that the cat is somehow magically in both states just because you haven’t yet manipulated the lid of a wooden cube.

I guess I better buy a new Pi before they quintuple in price for half the quality

Or just don’t connect the TV to your network. It has inputs. Use an input device you have control over. The end.

But he unfortunately also gets what he doesn’t deserve, like billions of dollars

People are being entitled taint-lickers. It does suck that its optimization is poor, but I’m on a 4 year-old PC build and my CPU was not top-end even then, with a 3070 and I have had zero issues running it. The space travel should be more interesting, they really fucked up by making space piracy basically impossible, so you can’t ever profit by taking the ships of people who actively try to murder you. There’s a lot that could be more engaging, but also the reviews of Elex are mostly positive and it’s one of the worst, most quest-bugged half finished pieces of shit I’ve ever played, with basically nothing going for it beside decent art and a unique story. The game is trash and I wasted way too much time on it. Starfield is vastly better. Not amazing, but solidly OK. Without the social-media circle-jerk, there is no way the reviews would continue to get worse as they continue to address performance issues and fix bugs.

That’s a flash-forward, a flashback is a dip into the past, hence the “back” part

“OMG we thought they were unarmed Palestinians!”

Minotaurs?

They do wear out eventually, but the end of their useful life is a whole crapload of rounds if they’re well-made, and most good guns can have parts replaced either by the user or by a smith, so you can keep them running a long time if you oil them and keep them relatively rust-free. If a gun is so messed up it can’t fire or if it fails catastrophically and blows up, if it’s truly and permanently at the end of its life, I think most folks do indeed throw them in the trash, assuming they have no historical value. Maybe disassemble them or cut them up with a hacksaw first. Once it stops being able to be a gun anymore, it’s just junk.

Wait until you hear about The Sims

It helps to not be a loser right now. Elon is in his 50s and still acts like a childish, insecure douchebag. The fact that you are able to acknowledge your previous loserdom makes you already less lame than Elon. No amount of money can make him cool because he completely refuses to ever work on himself.

No, why would they? We don’t like tired eyes or tired batteries

Dropping off enough fuel to run the hospital for half an hour? Who cares? It was a PR stunt that would have made no difference. 300 liters is a pittance, an insult, a photo op, a lie to make suckers who can’t conceptualize volume think they made an effort to help. 300 liters is less than 80 gallons. This would be enough diesel to run a generator for one RV at full capacity for about 3 days, not a hospital with a ton of lights and computers, a ventilation system and a bunch of kids on life support. They sent enough fuel for one family to go glamping for a weekend.

If it’s not responding when plugged in correctly, you are almost certainly fucked. I have never seen this level of physical damage to a CPU and had it still be functional. This is severely bent for a PCB, it has a visible crease in it, which means a break. You have likely broken circuit traces and/or solder connections between the silicon and the PCB. I doubt you’ll be able to return it with this level of damage, so I guess you might as well try bending it back, but you will probably just break it further. The bend is preventing the contact points in the ball grid array from touching the corresponding contacts on the motherboard, so there is a very slight chance that if you bend them back so they all touch when you clamp it down, it could work, but I would keep my expectations low.

It’s a shitty way to learn the lesson about taking your time and paying close attention when assembling your computer, but hey, now you know and hopefully won’t do it again. All PC components are made to fit only in the correct orientation, and forcing them to fit in the wrong orientation will usually destroy the component, the motherboard or both.

If you’re on a VPN, it reloads about every minute, meaning you can’t even scroll through your game library, or read the summary or watch a video for a game you’re considering buying. Their shoddy, clueless coding literally makes it impossible to shop in their store without disconnecting from my VPN, which is not happening.

Democrats are frequently still racist, obedience-loving sacks of shit, they’re just the lesser of two evils in a system where the greater of two evils is a pack of utterly cynical greed-as-a-virtue actual fascists.
