I live in one of the top 10 largest cities in the US and the concept of a functional public transportation system is alien. Gotta be at work at 630 or 7 am? Gotta get home from work after 7pm? Too bad that's too early or too late to make it because the bus doesn't run 24 hours.

Landlord messaged again a second time after his mom left saying that he's selling the place. He also sent a few messages bragging about how he's not going to turn off utilities in response to me telling his mom to leave.

He messaged again. Well the felon is coming back over apparently. Apparently the landlord has more stuff he wants him to get. The landlord messaged that right after work called me to see if I want some OT. I guess I have to choose between staying and reporting the guy (I don't want to be getting charged if something happens between this guy and his gf) and getting paid. I'd prefer if he was actually sending people over for legit reasons but I guess I'm just supposed to accept the fact that 3 times in a 24 hour period different people are just going to be coming and going through my place, none with a proper notice (48 hours where I'm from, unless they are there for some kind of emergency repairs).

I'm not sure if they are smart enough to actually give a legitimate eviction notice. The message that he sent me wouldn't fly as one where I'm at.

He's basically just been stacking up a bunch of different behaviors and things that violate the tenant act here for the last year or so. I plan on definitely appealing the judgment with my copies of my payment information and correspondence from the landlord. If he tries to come up with an eviction that is for something wrong on my end of things instead of a no-cause one, I think his slumlord behavior wouldn't look so great on his part. I think it would be a while before I need to get out because he's not handling anything legally.

Knowing him I think instead of giving an actual eviction notice he's going to assume that some vague text he sent counts and then just call the police on me. All of that probably gives me a bit of extra time to save up some money for finding a better place to stay.

Yeah sorry my thoughts are all a mess here I'm not sure if I'm properly describing the situation or getting across everything that's happening but basically it's been bad for a while. He doesn't handle anything the correct way. It's like he could have these people over all he wants if he would just send a message two days in advance and there wouldn't be a thing I could do about it, but he doesn't instead he freaks out when I'm not there to handle his guests or provide them access.

While I don't know much about video cards, the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) is often called the first video card and had a couple of contenders for first that were either designed earlier or released at almost the same time in 1981 and were all for displaying text only. The first GPU card sold to the public was the GeForce 256 in 1999. I'm assuming there's some in between that were not really used by the public that would have been used in movies and whatnot.

The reason why nobody was selling GPUs before Quake was because quake was THE first 3D game. Doom and other games before Quake were 2.5D and didn't have 3D models only sprites. Games before Quake essentially mimicked 3D while Quake IS 3D

I'm fairly certain that the left one is Combat Evolved

I'd argue that quake did far more for 3D graphics then it did for FPS. Like Doom is what got FPS into the spotlight even though Wolfenstein 3d came first. Like quake is pretty much what made real 3D possible and doable on the hardware of the time thanks to everything going on under the hood

Depending on when you do it it's possible there could be very little resistance or security in your way in some hypothetical situations. For example let's say a court order goes through for FB to release something from their servers, if an independent person with no ties to the company suddenly decided to go after the servers a less than ethical organization might see that as a golden opportunity to do whatever would allow that to happen while still getting them caught afterwards. I'm just having a fun thought exercise

No but that's like a major red flag type of thing. I was wondering how they get away with that to begin with

All right it says in the wiki that this all kicked off because a kid was getting disciplined at school for something they did in their bedroom and no details are given about that part. That alone seems really messed up

the process still relies on fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a protein-rich growth supplement for animal cell cultures.

FBS, which costs around £300 to £700 per litre

That's a fancy serum made from cow blood

Also this all comes from a submission to an art museum in 2020, it's not supposed to be an actual product it's more of a proof of concept type of thing.

I don't think this should be downvoted. It's in its' appropriate community and it lists a legitimate source

I get cheap hardware. A hardware intensive OS seems stupid to me. I want my computer running the programs that I want, not wasting memory and CPU usage on the OS instead.

Plus I've gotten a notification on every laptop I own from Windows telling me to upgrade followed by something saying that they are below specs for the upgrade

I'm sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.

So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It's almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn't mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand

A lot of niche YouTubers say that they get most of their revenue from patreon and other sites like that so it seems like there's already existing avenues to post videos and get paid via a different site

The only problem I've had is an installer for a slicer would not work for some reason without edge.

Exactly. Those in the highest positions of power should damn well have criticism. The argument otherwise seems to imply that accountability and transparency have no place in American politics

Sorry for being nitpicky, this is a good post

Maybe they believe that the supreme court is more influenced by money than ideology?

Solo had L3-37 who was presented as being a self made individual literally and she was also humanized with her body and movement being less stuffy and robotic and more human. I remember people complaining she was woke.

Maybe it's woke to advocate for someone having equal rights or wanting to be viewed equal to people when the story presents her as someone who is self-aware, capable of emotions, and desires freedom. She certainly uses a lot of terms that I guess people who are worried about wokeness might find off-putting.

BUT, here's the thing most of the time when she says that she wants fair treatment or equal rights it's presented as a joke. Even her losing her body and the ability to freely move and pursue her own goals is treated as something of a happy ending. Remember the whole movie where she said she wants freedom and autonomy and how she's a self made droid? Well now she's shackled inside a computer with no ability to escape, but it's a happy ending because the audience wasn't meant to take her seriously.

So in that the context of Solo the people who were complaining about wokeness were missing the forest through the trees, when the only messaging that could really be considered "woke" was something that was treated as a joke in the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if people complaining about wokeness are just people who are upset if minorities or gay people exist and they use the term to hide behind and avoid outright saying it

(I'm aware that there's more Star Wars than just Solo, but I haven't seen all the new stuff and was mostly using it as an example)

This definitely falls into a lot of the same territory as most other gig work. A lot of the problems of the gig economy are showcased with jobs that pay like this. It lures in people who would be making $40-120 more in a week doing the same thing elsewhere

The green mile (1999)

I found that to be a fun match to read through. Very close game

Anyone else a fan of Drive Angry? It just seems to fill the action revenge genre roll pretty well to me.

Also I second others comments that Raising Arizona is the best

There's actually a whole bunch of laws regarding airbag inflators, a lot of which is because of their potential to be damaging to the environment and hazardous because of chemicals, but some of it's because those are basically explosives or at least they used to be. So in a lot of places scrap yards take those out first thing because people aren't allowed to buy them.

I guess that's my meandering way of saying that air bomb is pretty much on point

Not if someone out there thinks that they could profit off a gray goo scenario

Giancarlo Esposito, Gus Fring would be an excellent gman

The big shift of people on ubi going from wage work to self employment being one of the biggest points of note from this study is interesting. That's probably a major reason why most US lawmakers would not want ubi.

Something I find interesting is this study didn't show an increase in hours worked unlike a couple of other smaller studies, that if I recall correctly focused on giving ubi to people who were not currently working.

I'm basically using a 2 stroke chainsaw motor and I get around 20 miles per liter on a 40-1 oil mix

AZ desperately needs one going in-between Phoenix and Flagstaff. Not that a route between Phoenix and Tucson isn't good it's just that there is so little options for going up north right now.

I have what is basically classified as a moped because I'm cheap and gas is expensive and I can get to Tucson from Phoenix in about an hour and a half longer than driving. I can't even go north reasonably because the state says the option for crappier vehicles is some overlong scenic route that makes going from Phoenix to Flagstaff be an extra 100+ miles.

There is zero mention of any antisemitism anywhere in the article. It's college kids being against what is happening in Gaza. I fail to see how criticism of a military occupation is equal to antisemitism.

The big thing that the article points to in quotes is Intifada which is kind of a call for civil unrest written on a sign. Intifada roots are from Palestinians protesting the occupation after Israel killed 4 civilians in what is many suspect was deliberate retaliation that went on for 5 years (1987-1993).

Probably people who have worked warehouse jobs. Amazon's regular schedule for warehouse workers has been 4 days a week for the last decade or so and other places like FedEx have similar schedules. Getting your 40+ hours in and having an extra day off is a game changer for jobs in that pay range

In 1921 the first vaccine for tuberculosis came out. In 2021 1.6 million people died from tuberculosis.

The medicine existing is great, but something tells me the people who need won't be getting it.

Israel has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.

Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel's actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?

I'm assuming you read it as "She's 10" and not "She's a 10"

If we're looking into their heating capacity they should be able to heat approximately 7 and 1/2 gallons of water an hour. A lower end water heater can supply about 85 gallons of water per hour so you'd need about 11 of them to meet a small house capacity.

If we're looking at their water holding capacity and power consumption. The average house has a 40-60 gallon water heater and a Keurig has a 48oz reservoir. You would need 107 to get to a 40 gallons capacity. When heating they use 1500 watts according to the Internet, so you'd need 160,500 watts (or 1,345.75 amps) of Keurigs to be the equivalent of a low end water heater for a house. The average 40 gallon heater uses between 4500 and 5500 watts.

While being shot at, or maybe that only happens once they are at school

You don't need to get insurance just because you have a license. You can have a license and no car.

It could help you as far as some employers will ask if you have one and a few situations like that.

There's no real downside other than paying for the drivers license test. Even after it expires it'll still work for an ID.

If you're poor you are told that you don't qualify for a mortgage and then you go and pay your rent for an apartment that cost more a month.
