One good grease fire and it’ll catch the painting on fire too.

What are the odds that he’ll be allowed to appeal without going to jail?

assuming there’s still “the woods” by then.

Of course there will be silly, it’ll just be wholly owned by the richest individuals and companies. You won’t be able to afford to die alone in the woods, let alone hike there.

It’s very rare to have a real tree branch merge back into the trunk.

Not rare, but uncommon. Not sure if there’s a Lemmy equivalent but r/treessuckingonthings shows trunks absorbing all sorts of things including branches

That work is already done by computers (the cash registers at the local store). For what you’re are suggesting, the added workload would very much be manual human work to physically change the price tags on every item whenever the local, county, or state tax rates change.

you’d print the labels at the store wouldn’t you?

No.

At least the large corporations I’ve worked at, no.

Price updates were printed at HQ or local distro center and shipped with the weekly shipment. Sale stickers and new isles/planograms too.

Those items you mentioned are taxes at the state or federal level so there are only 51 different tax rates to keep track of. Sales tax can vary from city to city as some municipalities have an additional sales tax.

Lol he went full sovcit

Just to save the heartache, acetone vapor does not work with pla.

Well if Trump gets his way and the US leaves NATO, then by definition the US would be 3rd world country. So long as he doesn’t align with the Soviets, since they’re 2nd world.

Spousal abuse is only one concern, also parent/child coercion (you’re an adult now, you can’t live in my house unless you vote the way I want). Another would be buying votes, and using the “receipt” to collect payment.

No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap. 2012-2013 would be my bare minimum, usb3 if only for loading a new OS.

Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards

Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.

matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.

It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.

If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.

Yeah, this isn’t even that bad, just a little harmless mold. It’s not like this is the one filled with live wriggling maggots

If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.

A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.

Is it just me or has hackaday gone down hill for the last couple years?

They’re reporting on a bringus video from 4 months ago.

I still think the reason he went in the nuclear shelter was because he was considering nuking them

We only mowed our back yard once a year for the past few years, and the fireflys are back in huge numbers this year. Our HOA is one of the most laid-back so we only have to mow the front like once a month.
