Yeah, I think we’re all in agreement about that here. But everyone isn’t disarmed. I won’t give up my gun until I know with 99% certainty that your average burglar won’t get a hold of an illegal firearm.

I didn’t ask to be born in a country where burglars are likely to have firearms. But now that I am, I have to react to that fact myself.

It perpetuates itself. If someone thinks there is a significant probability a burglar might have a gun, getting a gun themselves can increase their chance of survival. This is even ignoring the actual culture around it, where people want guns “just to have them”.

Happy birthday friend!

I will always miss it. I love the glass aesthetic. It never went out of style in my head.

I have one of these in my town. It’s a cell tower dead center in the middle of town, and they boxed it up in a building-like facade and put that glowing logo at the top. Massive eye of sauron vibes. It’s the tallest thing in the city. At night you can see it for miles.

Alright “LodeMike”. I bet that’s not even your real name! Who’s the fake now huh?

Yeah I got a free pixel watch 2 and it sucks ass having to take it off every night and morning.

That is correct! However they said “the pixel series” meaning the entire lineup of pixels.

Pixels of this generation can get up to $1500 USD. If that’s not flagship territory, I don’t know what is.

Maybe they’ll start focusing on actually good GPUs again if that happens.

What’s the comic?

I’ve jumped fully on the privacy train. I have like 100 different cards with different limits, each locked to a single merchant. It’s so good.

Side note: if you want to run a dedicated server and play on it with a cracked version (or just an offline mode or while MS services are down) edit the server.properties file and set online-mode=false from true. (Then restart the server if it was online)

This wipes everyone’s inventories if there was already progress, so have everyone put their items in a chest before doing this. If you use modded, have everyone unclaim their chunks or any other username-bound items like teleporters with permission systems.

All of this can be redone, reclaimed, re-bound after the change happens. This effectively changes your in-game identities on a server from a Microsoft one to an offline one. This also makes it possible to evade username-based bans.

It’s a meme about how draining the cmos battery bricked some PC’s, I think. It’s formatted like the Wikipedia sidebar summary for articles on wartime battles.

you can assign independent applications > I know you can do this in windows without needing an extra sound controller it’s in ‘Settings>system>Sound>Volume Mixer’

Yeah, but separate physical controls are beneficial when you have full-screen apps, are busy, don’t want to lose your place, or if you need to do it more frequently and quickly than the sound mixer allows.

Linux largely has this too, but in both OS’s it’s less convenient than reaching over and quickly pressing a button or sliding a slider in many scenarios.

Of course if you just need to edit these infrequently then that’s a perfectly good solution and there’s no reason to spend any money at all.
