big beef has been lying for decades
That's exactly what my ex-wife said.
I was quite literally an Archaeology major with a minor in History. Care to try again?
As per the article saying that "selfies pose a health concern", I'm going to posit that instead of a health concern, it's literally just Darwinism at it's most basic.
Seven days into the past? Microwave electronic resonance craft
I feel like that's a reference to a supremely underrated and long forgotten television show...
I don't mean this as another "Switch to Linux" comment. The fact that I run Linux is irrelevant except in one way that I'll get to in a bit.
My comment is about HARDWARE.
I bought my current workhorse daily driver in 2016. It never even went through the windows set up, because I immediately switched to an SSD and then formatted the 1tb old spinner as secondary storage.
When I got into video editing a couple of years later, I upped my RAM and it worked just fine.
A couple of years after that, I started 3D modelling with Blender. So I upgraded my video card and increased the size of my SSD and upgraded the power supply.
Since then, its gone through two more video card upgrades, and maxed out the ram the motherboard would accept, and to this day, it still runs Blender, Davinci Resolve, Kdenlive, High End Games, and anything else I throw at it, flawlessly.
Here's my point. Would the amount of money I spent on upgrades in 8 years be more than the cost of buying new desktops every few years? No. Not a chance.
Of course there are limits. After eight years, my motherboard itself can't handle anymore upgrades and so eventually I'll need to buy. But we have reached a point computing-wise, where my specs will probably hold up for a few more years.
You're not wrong, by any means. But it was also a pretty fun popcorn flick.
Yes, they could have come up with a better title, but in the modern world, the number of people who know where the title came from is likely a lot less than it used to be as TikTok and YouTube slowly leach away brain cells from each new generation, so why would they bother?
Up until a few years ago, I honestly thought that the best thing we could do with stupid people (conspiracy theorists, flat earthers, fundies, etc...) was to bring back public shaming. Make them so damn embarassed to believe what they that do that they just shut the fuck up about it for fear of mockery. As a result, at least their children might see them as being the backwards ones and we nip that shit in the bud in a generation or two instead of each new generation seemingly witnessing their parent's idiotic beliefs being seemingly validated in public by being treated with any validity at all.
But then MAGA arrived, and I realized that many of these people simply have no shame, so ruthlessly mocking them won't work.
And for the record, I enjoyed it. It was silly sci-fi schlock. I don't need everything to be 2001.
I agree. Now Imagine trying to wade through the online dating scene... it ain't no pic-a-nik, Yogi.
For some reason I read that as "Boeing killed Jon Benet" and was thinking well that's a conspiracy theory I hadn't heard before...
In every Fallout game, (and now Starfield) as well, I immediately choose to use guns from only one or two ammo types, and collect the rest as just trading currency.
I can't remember the last time I had to actually pay caps/credits for something since the transaction always comes to zero. I take your stack of med-kits and you get 476 bits of .45 caliber ammunition. Oh...you're a medic and have no use for it. Too bad.
