You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

This seems perfectly reasonable. I’m sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.

USB the protocol, or just uses a USB cable? If it’s not using the protocol, the cables are a cheap way of getting cables of a certain spec.

The denial after the fact is a necessary coping mechanism. Otherwise, they will suffer from the guilt of killing their child.

Which they absolutely did.

Why would he care about the lawsuits? It won’t ever come out of his pocket. It just becomes someone else’s problem.

An electrified future would be the only silver lining that can come from all of this, even if it is from swastikars. The chargers (going forward) are standardized and universal, so the infrastructure will work for others as well.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

For anyone as confused as me, the “nails” are fingernails, not the construction part.

Yes, see Israel.

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.

We don’t have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.

There isn’t just one reason. The biggest one currently can be directly tied back to porn. It’s also not just the simple existence of porn, but with our excessive consumption of it.

The fact that nearly all porn is the same in this regard is also a factor. There’s also a generational factor, in that younger people experienced almost-exclusively shaved partners and porn in their formative years.

That would probably result in teams that have the shortest players possible (to lower the rim), and 1 or 2 tall players to exploit that.

It’s more like claiming to own a subreddit, or a Twitter hashtag.

“Having a Discord server” doesn’t mean what those words normally mean.

A threat of war, sure. But you don’t declare war like that clip of “declaring” bankruptcy. Even with all the wars the US has started, the last one declared was in 1942. Until Congress formally declares war, or troops start to move in, it’s still just a threat.

That said, it is a threat that everyone should take very seriously.

Imagine being the historian researching these for dates…

Bragged about their crimes to specialized cops who had already identified themselves as such, with evidence on hand, and still only $1,000 each.

That means that violating all of these laws really just costs $1,000, and only if you get caught.

Yes, they exist, as I acknowledged. How old is it? Is it representative of what you’d find at a standard big box retailer?

For it to work, it means the controls must all be manual and mechanical. This is in contrast to the “smart” features that are very common.
