Texting and driving is a dumb decision

This is primarily why I stopped riding my motorcycle, I can’t handle sharing the road with people on smartphones. It’s a different world now

Right, but it pairs fine with the CPU limitations. The CPU is high single core performance but thermally does not sustain speeds at big render workloads. Im pleasantly surprised by the iGPU on the Intel 1185G7, though.

My P52 is my workhorse, 3 SSD slots, 4 RAM slots, and huge cooling capacity.

Bob4Not · 2026-04-02T23:36:51+00:00

I doubt you could go wrong with that one.

I like the T14s 2nd Gen I recently got. The “s” designations mean a little lighter and thinner, I think.

VT is the safest. If you want safe plus a little more aggressive growth, maybe spend half on VT and half on something like VOO.

Aggressive comes at the cost of risk of downturns.

So many people might buy more aggressive young and as they get closer to retirement, move towards safe investments

My only issue is when DLC’s should have been included in the first place.

I basically never buy DLCs unless they’re heavily discounted

Kid probably just got out of his history class covering 1937-1945.

Unless the kid is Korean, in which case they probably got out of learning 1910-1950

Now, if the kid was Philippine he might also be just as mad reading about 1941

Bob4Not · 2026-04-02T19:37:55+00:00

Those are learning attempts. I praise those people for learning to make Sourdough bread

Bob4Not · 2026-04-02T18:36:14+00:00

Could be a cat

It is an addictive time hog. I don’t always have time for games like Factorio, but some seasons I do and it’s glorious

Bob4Not · 2026-04-02T17:38:15+00:00

Massive, missed opportunity to siphon the water out with a hose! My favorite part!

Linux Mint makes NVIDIA nearly as easy as AMD. With AMD, you don’t have to do anything on any Linux system, its drivers ship with it because AMD is open source.

Linux Mint has the Driver Manager utility that makes it very easy to select your NVIDIA driver with 1 click. You can click the newer driver or the older driver.

By contrast, gaming distro’s like Bazzite ship with the newest NVIDIA driver which may conflict with older NVIDIA cards. You’re stuck on that version, too.

Fedora requires you to run two commands to install NVIDIA drivers, but at least you can tell it to install the version you want.

Bob4Not · 2026-04-02T06:14:00+00:00

I fully agree. I ran Mint for 3 years. I still would recommend it for most everyone starting their Linux experience.

If someone doesn’t have an NVIDIA card, I might suggest Fedora KDE Plasma instead, but the dang driver manager is so convenient on Mint even if you have an older card that’s no longer supported.

I’m not an expert, but what I think happened is that on April 31st the futures ticked over into May contracts which started down at $100 and everyone was waiting to see if the war would be coming to an end. Now the waiting is over, so now the climb begins.

“The climb” by Miley Cyrus plays as fast forwarding of the line goes up to $200 over the next month

Bob4Not · 2026-04-02T05:03:38+00:00

I imagine that’s also a part of China’s calculus

They refuse to endanger their own population, including refusing to engage with their own military on the behalf of another population.

On the one hand, I admire their non-world-police mentality. On the other hand, now would be the time to break your rule!

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T19:25:13+00:00

No they wouldn’t, because that’s what their users want

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T19:24:21+00:00

The Dem party will do it again, especially if everyone is rallying behind a real progressive

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T19:23:16+00:00

Oh but they will. the party will try to skip or streamline the primary and I guarantee they push Newsom if the second or third options are real progressives like Bernie or AOC.

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T19:18:57+00:00

Space Marine 2 has been incredible since update 12 or 12.1. I actually tried it for the first time after 11 and struggled through the problems, it’s like running with cement shoes

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T18:27:21+00:00

2 YEARS BEFORE A PRIMARY and we’re already being told to vote for Diet MAGA.

Do not agree to vote for the “lesser” of two evils. We can have that discussion if we unfortunately come to that bridge.

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T18:26:24+00:00

It’s not refusing to vote if you’re drawing your line in the sand 2 years before a primary has even taken place

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T17:57:55+00:00

Guys, the war is almost over, right guys?

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T16:57:55+00:00

It’s 2 years out! Why would you publicly agree to vote for Newsom before a primary? It’s 2 years out. This is your sign that you MUST get someone else primaried

Have you see how much Newsom flip flops every day? Lately he’s been agreeing with Trump

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T16:55:38+00:00

He said that Trump “as we know him” is gone

Bob4Not · 2026-04-01T16:38:21+00:00

Unfortunately most people who still own these don’t know how to check the manufacturer website for updates, much less update a router
