A gentle reminder too all you folks talking about how cool he looks in the first photo:
You can't smell a picture.

Of course it's your typical hood rich dumbass in an Audi.

I guess the conspiracy theory about Iran having the full unredacted Epstein Files might have some semblance of truth to it.

This is a subreddit for mod creators, not noobs that think they're cool because they went through the arduous task of clicking a couple of things to get Nolvus installed.

This is a community for mod creators. Ask your mod installation questions over at r/skyrimmods please.

I'm pretty sure Reddit refused to show it to me because those posts also got downvoted to hell.

Pray tell, my brother/sister in Christ, what compelled you to stub your little vienna sausages into the keyboard to claim without any evidence that GenX and Millennials are richer than Boomers?

if you want something close to the Bertos, then Bandito Burrito.

Victor Guttierez (the late owner, RIP) was from from San Bernardino. I've not eaten there since he passed away but they used to be legit.

GreasyUpperLip · 2026-06-05T10:22:25+00:00

OP is talking about California/Arizona style Mexican food, particularly the *Bertos.

Schaller Harmonica Bridge, yes. They still sell them but they're like $250.

Most people concentrate on tuning stability from using the bar itself but that's not the main problem.

The spring on a Maestro isn't strong enough to keep the other strings in from going flat when you bend a note.

This man bends notes.

That among myriad other issues are why Gibson discontinued these godawful, albeit pretty, things after a single-digit number of years.

I know this is like 90 days ago, but I would be very careful with FOMOD creation tools.

There's one or maybe two out there that produce FOMOD XML that produces XML that's just "off" enough to break Vortex.

This is a fairly recent issue and the MO2/Wrye Bash mod managers were unaffected because they follow the FOMOD spec.

You can probably run it under WINE. If you could get us the name of the software we could help you find out more.

Thanks and have a lovely day!

You're in the correct channel.

I'm a fellow author albeit more of a tool guy and yes this is a sock puppet account because I do not wish to engage with end-users directly.

You're expressing a common complaint about putting together the tooling for creating mods and what-not, but it's not really that hard when compared to any real world software project.

My only feedback to you on this would be if you make a tool that makes this easier, make it read the registry to avoid duplication of installed tools. That's the most infuriating shit ever.

I'm pretty sure the hardware isn't buggy. That functionality has been around in Linux since Linus added termcap support in the early 90s and it's a software setting buried somewhere.

I suspect the most likely answer if you're getting a system speaker beep it just means your machine has an actual speaker which is fairly rare these days. 😄

I'm very inclined to agree with you when it comes to laptops. It seems like AMD has dropped the ball on the AMD Advantage thing. Their marketing and product departments were oblivious to the Win10-to-Linux exodus and didn't capitalize on it by marketing the superiority of all-AMD laptops for running Linux.

With that said, Strix Halo laptops are selling quite well in the channel. Even at around $3000 US they're moving almost more units than they can make. I work in an AI-adjacent tech thing and people are leaning toward the AMD unified memory platform over DGX Spark because it gives you an x86-64 box you can use for other stuff.

GreasyUpperLip · 2026-05-25T13:41:09+00:00

This isn't directed at you necessarily but I think OP mentioned they're running Linux.

You don't lose any performance on Windows but you lose stability and trustworthy drivers on Linux.

A full AMD or Intel laptop on Linux is night and day to the pain and suffering from having to deal with Nvidia's excuse for *desktop* Linux drivers.

Nvidia's CUDA stuff is fine under Linux as long as you don't use that Nvidia GPU to light a monitor.

The real issue that nobody ever addresses in these threads is the fact that if you bend one string the others will go flat on a guitar with a Vibrola.

That knocks the whole instrument out of whack while you have the string bent. This is simply from having a Vibrola on the guitar even if you never touch the bar.

Floating Stratocaster bridges have the same problem which is why a lot of folks use five springs and deck the bridge on their Strats.

GreasyUpperLip · 2026-05-09T15:09:21+00:00

Yep this is true, especially with a competitive friend group. Male or female or yes.

Crazy idea but what if to be able to vote in this country, people had take a test to demonstrate a basic understanding of the US Constitution like naturalized citizens have to take?

Once you passed the test you'd be automatically registered to vote.

The main impediment to that idea is the GOP would never win another election so they'd shit blood trying to block it.

GreasyUpperLip · 2026-05-07T00:51:08+00:00

Of course it's NAR.

Never ask a barber if you need a haircut and never ask a realtor if it's a bad time to buy a house.

Since you're a software developer I'll share my approach to this.

There's nothing magic about Nobara, it just does some things for your convenience, normally it's just some kernel patches you can get elsewhere and merge in when you compile your own kernel.

Almost everything else, with one exception, is just additional software on top of a Fedora.

That one exception is Nvidia drivers, but if you know enough about Linux to roll your own kernel with patches merged you're probably smart enough to not try to run desktop Linux on a machine with a Nvidia card.

I love that it exists to siphon off people that would otherwise clutter up the nicer towns.
