Currently working for tips. I'd rather have a $2/hour cut from my current wage and no tips in exchange for steady hours, steady pay, and health insurance. Tips are a nice ego boost, but I can't ever rely on it. I'm tipped so poorly lately I just use it on edibles and feed my bills and shit with my decent paychecks.
Has a lotta great titles people still remember fondly, and it's heaps easy to hack it to get emulators on it. Win win!
Anything by Shpongle, but here's a good album to put on! Nothing Lasts... But Nothing is Lost. Fantastic psychedelic trance music with influence from world music.
Glory be to Vandora.
I think they're making a jokey dig at their parent, who I assume also has NPD.
It's a 512x512 resolution texture in a game from 1998 back when 480p was standard and 320p was still pretty common. It was very important that you saw those breats.
Ah man, that's a video I haven't thought of in ages! I think I first saw it when an old friend linked me to professional Funny Thing Unfunny-er, RayWilliamJohnson reacting to it.
I did the same for a while before the Stalker nerd in my lizard brain bought an AI-2 aid kit, gutted it, and converted it into a personal aid kit.
Okay but I'm gonna name my band "The Hairy Milk Experience."
Insert relevant Technology Connections video here.
Good friends, good music, good vibes, and good weed.
The Xerox Alto was 1973 and had a color GUI interface more than a decade before Apple or Microsoft had for their OSs.
Also it cost $32,000 in 1973 and was both computer, monitor, and desk all in one.
YOU SAY THAT - and are totally right - but that does bring back that memory I've got of seeing an utterly disgusting beer brewing kit being sold in the box for $10. The entire store smelled like decay.
I know I've seen that coined as an online law in the vein as Murphys Law, with a name attached to it, but A) I don't remember it and made a name up for the bit, and 2: That was prolly made up as well which only compounds the joke.
What was "the incident" at your work place?
Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.
Good laptop to use as Owncast server?
Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.
Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.
If there's a better community for this lemme know!
What are your favorite bands from more obscure, lesser known countries?
After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!
Win10) BSOD while running certain games
(I know Linux is better than Windows, there's a better time and place for that talk)
SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain't causing issues cause I've tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes)
Minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g34xykxagp29246/050524-8937-01.dmp/file
Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop.
I've reinstalled drivers. I've disabled sound drivers. I've popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I've reapplied thermal paste four times. I'm on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I've had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I'm all but giving up. If the Internet can't fix this shit, I'll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.
What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of?
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
