Why do you think there's such an interest in VFIO and passing a graphics card thru to a VM? You think all these people are just happily making their own cloud gaming Stadia clone? Nah fam, they're fucking cheaters trying to hide their tracks. For every five legit posts there's a "why can't I get BattleEye/EAC to work in a VM?" JUST STOP CHEATING BRO

Back when I was in elementary school, I had a classmate named "Noah Bates" and they called him Master Bates as a joke. I didn't understand at the time so I want home and asked my mom why they kept calling him that, and why this was supposed to be funny. She couldn't explain, was all flustered, and eventually said that it was a sexual innuendo, which I also didn't understand the meaning of. We never had any other serious discussions about sex or drugs. Parents never drank alcohol even so I figured it was a non-starter with them.

We had sex ed in high school, but they spoke of it in terms my brain didn't understand. "It's better than any drug" yes but I haven't done any drugs yet, so that is a meaningless comparison to me. A pretty dry and technical rundown of it. The DARE officer brought that suitcase full of drugs that shows you what each one is supposed to look like, and all I remember is wondering what they all did. I also had to write a paper on why drugs were bad, and I got hallucinogens as a topic. The only thing I could come up with that misconstruing a dangerous situation and injuring yourself.

This used to confuse so many people because I swapped the hard drive for a 120 gig SSD. So I then had a 120 gig "60 gig" PS3. "the slim model?" No, the fat one "But then what model had...?" Yeah it was a pain to explain to some people what exactly it was.

Yes, we'll get right on that! Who is paying for it again?

I would say no, because he never was a part of the original. IIRC, he's a copy of this person's memories before they even died, so he forked the progression of memories? The original would have lived, and died, with no continuity going over to the clone. The clone, upon receiving these memories, believes himself to be the original, but he's wrong.

He was not even alive to begin with. Literally a robot following the instructions left by a recording of a human mind. He just thought he was a real human because the recording said/believed so.

A week or two? My mom's got two-year old pickles in the fridge that she's keeping to prove a point to me. I wouldn't eat them tho!

Humans live and have lived and will live in every conceivable place on this planet. What's gonna get wiped out is 99% of profits being made right now. We'll survive, but our institutions won't.

Everyone on every social media seems hostile these days. Maybe it's a reflection of society's anxiety?

...and that probably led to a three hour rant about who Liquid Snake is and why he's important to the absolutely insane plot if that series.

Always always check what version of blender the tutorial is for! Later versions have automated and fixed so much annoying shit that you had to do/fix manually in older versions. Blender 5.1 is way different to 2.8! Also it doesn't matter what menu it's in because you can just search for that tool with the search function, bind it to spacebar.

Blender is actually amazing now (>5.0) and I feel like lots of people tried 2.8 and got scared because it was janky and it turned them off Blender forever.

Everybody laughing at this comment needs to know that THIS DOES HAPPEN. Ex-employee had to return her laptop, so we send a UPS return label via e-mail. She shows up at the UPS store with the laptop in hand and is surprised when they tell her it needs to be in a box. We received the laptop inside the wildest combination of two boxes taped back-to-back and filled with garbage that didn't even form effective packing material.

Some people have literally never shipped anything in their life before, despite being 30 🤷
