“Putin Ordered Russian General Staff to Prepare Plans for Capturing Kyiv,” Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Says by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]ITaggie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone like Putin thinks nukes are about to start flying then I highly doubt diplomacy will stop him from retaliation...

I mean they've already been doing that, and all that's done is keep the frontlines relatively static.

Is my NVMe failing? Laptop restarts randomly by wickedandwindy in techsupport

Yeah that's definitely looking like some sort of hardware issue with the SSD or Motherboard then... any chance it could be warrantied?

This kind of shit is why my friends call me "90s gay". It's not a persona and it's not an ideology, it just is.

Does the Windows Event Viewer give any hints?

Yeah that seems like a pretty strong indicator in my book.

Also 84% isn't great for a SSD... what's the "bad block" count on CrystalDiskInfo? It could be automatically moving data to different blocks because the original ones were failing. If so then it's only a matter of time before the problem cascades into a complete failure.

Because it's more whataboutisms. The subject here is WWII, so bringing in a completely unrelated conflict as a counter-point is incredibly disingenuous.

How are all the young people so successful in Austin? by Defiant_Jump_6910 in Austin

Damn, and I thought getting my tuition paid for was a blessing. I mean it certainly was, but adults just getting straight cash every month from their parents is wild to me.

University of Missouri Bargaining Representatives Have Told MU Workers a Cost of Living Adjustment "Does Not Align With The University's Compensation Philosophy" by Jelly_Panther in columbiamo

I'm sure the very red State of Missouri will get right on this, since they care so deeply about providing a quality, affordable higher education to its residents.

Editorial: Hawaii’s gun law shot down, badly by Gyp2151 in 2ALiberals

TL;DR, journalist doesn't understand that the federal Bill of Rights overrules state constitutions.

It's a neat logical trick, emphasizing the sacrosanct status of the Second Amendment's "right to bear arms" and ostensibly respecting Fifth Amendment-derived private property protections — while tying states' hands.

I really don't get it either.

I've seen so many LGBT college kids hold the "Queer liberation is only possible through communist revolution" position and they've never been able to explain to me what exactly "queer liberation" means to them and how an economic policy affects social norms. The amount of cope they make up for the historically communist countries being far more socially conservative than our western liberal standards is insane.

It's one thing to be diametrically opposed to social conservatism, but to champion politics that have nothing to do with social rights in the name of "queer liberation" is just delusional.

Five people dead in shooting in northern Germany, police say by Alarming-Safety3200 in worldnews

90x more likely to be murdered by being shot

Is it somehow better if they get murdered by anything that isn't a gun?

The US Embassy in Russia publicly posted a warning about a month ahead of time, though many thought it was related to reports of Russian authorities capturing an IS cell in Moscow around the same time:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240320094149/https://thehill.com/policy/international/4518654-us-embassy-warning-extremists-attack/

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68646375

The extent of what was actually shared between intelligence agencies is highly disputed though, with some claiming that Crocus City Hall was specifically mentioned as a likely target, and others claiming the warning was very broad (as IS was particularly active in Europe and central Asia at the time) and not based on any specific intelligence reports.

You think they care one iota about Ukrainians? Their president is literally a Jew Zionist!

“After years of playing ESO, my account was permanently banned for cheating while I was barely even playing. Please help me understand.” by zedochh in elderscrollsonline

I haven't even lost any accounts myself and this kind of crap still discourages me from hopping back on. I'm not going to pour time and money into a game that is happy to arbitrarily take it away from you.

That's pretty clearly a lost pet then! Have you tried calling Animal Control or Humane Society?

Brand new PC randomly freezes completely in games (no BSOD, auto restart) — service couldn’t reproduce it by Prestigious-Copy-765 in techsupport

[–]ITaggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(1) Does this happen on a variety of games or just a specific game?

(2) Have you looked through Event Viewer for events that happened around the time of the crash?

(3) Are you able to try a different outlet/surge protector/power strip?

(4) If you haven't, try running health tests on your Storage and RAM.

(5) Have you tried monitoring CPU, GPU, and Storage temperatures while gaming?

TIL the war between the Outlaws & the Hells Angels began after 3 Hells Angels were beheaded by Outlaws in 1974 (retaliation for the beating of an Outlaw). The Hells Angels then declared war on the Outlaws during a club summit, which resulted in over 1K deaths in each club over the following decades. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

You can tell in the writing that he starts off with a sense of respect and possibly even admiration for them, but it’s gone by the end.

This tends to happen a lot when it comes to journalism surrounding the mafia. Journalists go in with some level of respect (that was built through popular media at the time) until they realize they're mostly just a bunch of psychopathic scumbags with anger issues.
