It’s a grey, I’ve never met one that wasn’t a ridiculous ham

Start leaving information about trains out for them and see if they bite

Four and a half kilos of carbohydrates and sugars, goddamn.

Yeah, that was my thinking too. Lilac is a generic enough platform that OEMs can do the bulk of their platform work with a lilac dev kit before they have real hardware in hand for the last 10%.

Valve hasn’t even announced their own steam machine yet have they? I’d be betting on ASUS to be first to market with whatever’s in the pipe from OEMs.

Lilac is an AMD dev platform, it’s used to do early development before you have the real platform in hand to work with. It’s been spotted in the wild running 7700 HS, 8500 U and Zen3 embedded <55W SoCs - there’s no way to extrapolate new steam hardware performance info from this reliably.

The scientific community would just collapse and we’d be worshipping cats as a world wide religion.

You’re a couple thousand years late on this one

Better to figure this out late than never I guess. Wasn’t this obvious 10+y ago though? Facebook has always been a predatory propaganda firehose.

I guess our local loonies just kept the panic party going for an extra decade or two

You don’t remember the religious nutjobs playing records backwards at 3/4 or 2x speed hunting for audio that they could claim was “I love Satan” subliminal messaging? Right up through the mid 90s we had all sorts of psychotic make believe like that.

The satanic panic rolled right through the mid 90s where I lived

Damn, that’s quite the change from the “d&d is satanic1111” of the 90s

That’s just resting cat face. If you open the door he’ll come in and be chill.

I miss windows eating my work when it chooses to install updates and reboot automatically while I’m asleep

Edit: even after I’ve set registry flags and policies to “never automatically reboot” - it’s always fun losing 4 days of work because windows randomly says “fuck you”

I get spam like this on every single messaging platform eventually. Just block and report it and get on with your life.

Drill a small hole and you can scratch it

I know right, I can’t handle another round of disappointment

When he started pushing his own tweets and Republican influencers to the top of my feed I quit the same day

They started using stabilizers in cheap ice cream a while back. That helps it have the fluffy texture you expect even though it doesn’t have nearly enough fat to churn up nicely by itself.

Buy expensive ice cream with a higher fat content (more cream content and or egg yolks,) it’s worth the extra money.

Also it helps to bring an insulated freezer bag when you go to the store, the melt and refreeze between the store freezer and home does unpleasant things to ice cream texture. If you’ve ever had icy or hard ice cream it has probably melted at some point during transit before refreezing.

Edit: if you feel like microdosing ice cream facts today here’s a treat from 18y ago: https://archive.ph/2012.09.09-004911/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/26/dining/26cream.html?_r=1. Cheap ice cream is a pretty heavily engineered food at this point.

I feel attacked every time I hear this one.

And also, uncomfortably, seen

Basically Dems were just out of touch with the most important part of their base until it was too late.

Which is their consistent problem every election when the prior Republican admin hasn’t made a catastrophic fuck-up.

You can’t run on the “we’re pro labor” platform and expect the working class to show up for you when your pro labor stance hasn’t put money directly into working class pockets since the 1970s or 1980s.

Where are the big public works programs? Where’s the massive government spending that employed millions? That’s why labor showed up for Democrats in the 1900s, when there were huge govt contracts that employed organized labor, and it’s no surprise at all that when Democrats abandoned those policies labor stopped being reliable supporters.

You want to run a successful campaign? Talk about the massive public spending that employed hundreds of thousands during your prior admin. Talk jobs. Talk improved standard of living. Talk taxing corporations to pay for those things and voters will hand you a landslide. Democrats are so afraid of taxing corporations to pay for social spending that directly recruits voters to their cause that they’re seen as corporate stooges. And honestly, they kinda are at this point.
