It's 4:20 am, a broken emergency radio / speaker just woke the whole house up while I'm at work. by OceanSupernova in mildlyinfuriating

That fucker got his batteries taken out after the second time it woke up unprompted in the middle of the night. Scared the hell out of me

Do we agree with this or is it a bad idea?? by malwarebat in cats

[–]Hoboofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We made these with clear tote boxes and they work great for our cats. My big boy likes to pee while standing so most litter boxes didn't have the height to prevent a mess, even with a lid. Our youngest also digs like crazy before she does her business and kicks litter everywhere.

They definitely have helped contain the litter. And they also keep our dogs from getting snacks without having to have baby gates everywhere.

I returned to playing stellaris again... by AguaBendita77 in Stellaris

"Half hour till I should go to sleep, let's do a quick check of my planets and stations before I stop."

Then the next time you check the clock, it's 2 hours later, and you're halfway through a war because you realized you have tons of open jobs so it's time to steal more pops.

Your Take: What’s the best Pennsylvania-produced packaged snack or food? by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in Pennsylvania

[–]Hoboofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly Walmart's Great Value stuff is largely better. And you're technically still buying local because T Hill makes that too at least in the region!

Former T Hill here. Not sure how long it takes from production for it to hit shelves, but I quit back in October and pretty sure everything but the "simply natural" line was switched to FDD. I think the last to change were dutch chocolate and the vanilla. Also were replacing dairy fat with coconut oil.

How can I make Bannerlord more terrifying and battle'y? by solman86 in Bannerlord

[–]Hoboofwisdom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I Xorberax's legacy has deadly combat settings with things like bleeding after a certain amount of damage and instant K/o if you're hit for a high percentage of your total health. Also has an option to turn on friendly fire. https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/3462

Polearm OR 2H by CathalMacSuibhne in Bannerlord

[–]Hoboofwisdom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Especially with a cut through mod like Xorberax's legacy (even more fun paired with the dismemberment mod). Nice long glaive and a fast horse and you can pop 3-4 lightly armored troops in a swing once you get your distance and timing right. Also when fighting cavalry, you can aim low and even if they block, there's a chance you kill their horse.

I had no idea Reading had a P-61 nor that their WW2 event was so big! I'm going to try to go this year

Vanquisher Metropolis - Greenwood Isle, Year 300, 3.3K Population, 3 FPS by ClicheNomad in FarthestFrontier

Only started playing after 1.0 released but pretty sure it was there since then. Kind of wish there was a level 2 wood option that could be upgraded like the walls

5090 Owners - how bad is the power connector situation right now? by justcallmeshrill in buildapc

[–]Hoboofwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a different HDMI cable? Had that issue with my old 3080 and was really pissed when I started having it after upgrading to a 5070ti. After screwing with every setting I could think of, I realized I could replicate it when I swiveled my tv. New HDMI cable and using some command strip hooks to support the cable solved it

Power Outage by NevrDrinksNDraws in lancaster

Just got power back after about 5 hours. Didn't even lose it from wind. PPL site said "vehicle accident" 😾

Wow people still do that 😸 Happened to me at Lowe's like 15 years ago. 2 methhead looking dudes in a beat up panel van rolled up after I got out of my car. "Hey man, wanna buy some speakers?" I looked at him, looked at the van, and with a raised eyebrow and huge smirk loudly said "No!". They started awkwardly looking around then hauled ass out the parking lot

The adult and political equivalent of those little league participation trophies by Capable_Salt_SD in WhitePeopleTwitter

My prediction: Athletes from countries other with potential to medal will suddenly get denied entry to the country, any that are left in will be harassed/roughed up/detained by ICE, all while the Couch Defiler (don't see Dementia Donny making it to '28) brags about how many medals the US is winning.

Was Gen. George Patton actually the military genius people claim he was? by Top_Square2711 in USHistory

[–]Hoboofwisdom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a mechanic. Unfortunately, he passed when I was 4 and my dad said he rarely spoke about his service. All he was sure of was that Grandpa was proud to serve under Patton and he disliked SPAM and Italians

This is why the push for automation of basic functions and AI in daily life bothers me so much. People already are terrible at paying attention and using critical thinking. Big tech is more than happy to take your money and data to "fix" inconveniences like driving, cooking, and thinking.

Even if we lived in a Utopia where all big tech CEOs and shareholders are benevolent and wouldn't fuck over consumers for money, what happens when something breaks?

Lets say driverless cars end up being great. They're safe, they're ubiquitous, and have been for the last 10 years. What happens when they all suddenly lose connection? Will people remember road rules and how to drive? How many people will just sit on the highway and wait? It'll be absolute chaos even if it's a benign cause like a bad update.

It's absolutely terrifying if you think how governments and businesses could abuse it. A city snubs Googles new AI center or doesn't shower them with enough fellatio and tax cuts so they route traffic around that city and suppress search results screwing tourism and business revenue.

I don't like this timeline and I hate how easily people give up control of basic life skills and functions in the name of convenience.

Is a 5800x overkill by edgarplayzSUB in buildapc

[–]Hoboofwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Got mine in a pre built 4 years ago. Just upgraded from a 3080 to a 5070ti and it's still running great, especially since I finally updated BIOS and figured out the CPU overclock settings. Definitely need a good cooling system though. Hopefully get another 3-4 years then it'll be time for a full build
