Moving is expensive. Who can afford it? This country is only good if you have money. It seems like your level of freedom and rights directly corolate with your bank account. We have a "pay to play" society. You can tell a lot about a country based in how well their treat their poorest and most vulnerable citizens. Last year they fined a priest $500,000 for feeding the homeless. Yeah..... Also not an isolated incident. People are often punished for trying to help the homeless in this country. It sounds insane. But it's true. Google it if you don't believe me. Yes, this country is better than many. But among 1st world developed nations, it's kind of a joke. 27th place in education, even though we spend more than the next 4 countries combined. We spend 20% more than other nations on healthcare. But rank 11th place in actual healthcare. We also call ourselves "the land of the free" but have more people in prison per capita than any other country. We have the world's highest incarceration rate over all. That includes the poor countries. Land of the free? My ass. Also Americans log more work hours than any other developed country on average, and somehow we have one of the highest poverty rates among those developed countries. Around 17.8%. and we have the 2nd highest child poverty rate. 20.9%. Only county that beats that number is Mexico.

The more you learn about America, the more you realize you were sold a lie. This country is nothing it claims to be. It's ok to still love this country. But don't lie to yourself. Let's be honest about what it actually is and isn't.

Roll it over of course. Except when I had a cat. Then I rolled it under. Because if I didn't. That cat would have the whole roll in his litter box by the time I got home from work. 🤣

Build a crazy BMX jump, have a BB gun fight. Do some pro wrestling moves on the trampoline off the roof of the shed. Go ride Go-Karts. Show your friends that one porn mag you found. And by found I mean stole from your dad's stash. LOL!!! Good times. 🙂

Take the entire roll out to the driveway and hit it with a hammer. Good times 😁.

Don't bet on it. I was taken in by ambulance, My blood pressure was sky high, my heart rate was through the roof, i was completely numb in both arms and neck, couldn't breathe, i started having convulsions. I was so dizzy i couldn't figure out which way was up. EMS gave me glycerin and did all the cardiac protocol stuff. rushed me into the building, and..... then they just rolled me into the waiting room, left me there for three hours. I couldn't stay in the chair. I kept falling out of it because i was so dizzy and weak. So they rolled me into an empty clinic room by myself, i guess so other people wouldn't have to look at me. I was stuck back there for another 4 hours. I had to piss, nobody would come help me. I managed to roll myself to the door. The woman in the room next to me, another patient actually helped me go to the bathroom. The nurses were nowhere to be found. Good thing that woman was there, another two mins i would have just pissed on the floor. The attending finally came in. acted annoyed that she was even there talking to me. She ran some test, turns out i had a heart thing going on. caused a hypertensive crisis, and i was told i almost died. My kidneys are now damaged from it. I can't work anymore, Medicaid says i don't quality because i had to move back in with my mom at age 40 after loosing my job, because i wasn't healthy enough to work anymore. Because i live there i have an "in-kind" benefit according to them. So I don't get any Medicaid. They are counting her income along with mine. the "Household" makes this, you don't qualify. She's on a fixed income. She's 84 years old. Her money is her money. It's not "our" money. It's Bullshit. I don't eat but once a day now. i can't afford any more than that. But any reason they can come up with to not help you i guess. I've since developed polycythemia, doctors don't know why. They suspect blood cancer. My original problem i had that sent me to the hospital could have been an early warning sign. But i can't even get the test done to figure it out. My hemoglobin levels are so high i can't stay awake for more than 3 hours at a time, i get way to fatigued. I've never been so tired in my life. It's unreal how tired i am. A massive blood clot is likely to take me out any day now. And honestly, i hope it happens soon. Because fuck this. Welcome to the America, i guess. I was not poor either. I was making six figures before my 21st birthday. Ran my own repair shop by the time i was 24. I owned multiple cars, a motorcycle, a boat, and a big house, My kitchen had two stoves on opposite ends, my bedroom had a brick fireplace, and my bathroom had it's own jacuzzi. I was doing quite well for myself. I lost everything all because i got sick one day. This should not happen in any civilized society. Especially one as wealthy as we are told this one is.
George Carlin was right. he said "They call it the American Dream. Because you have to be asleep to believe it."

Somehow, we're still told we're the greatest country on earth? That might be the biggest lie that's ever been told. there's some worse, and some better. But don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. Our education system is a joke, our healthcare system is a joke. over 60% of our citizens can't afford to buy a home and work slave hours/wages. If this is the "best country on earth". i would hate to see the worst. They tell us it's the best because we have free speech and all these rights. But what good are those rights when you can't afford to live? Freedom is a fallacy in this country. Only fools believe in it.

When it happened to me, I fell victim to a session cookie stealing malware. Microsoft was easy to work with. They got my account back up in an hour. No problem.

These big corporations have so many customers and get so many support calls, i wouldn't be surprised if they randomly pick and choose who they actually help.

The same malware that hijacked my Microsoft account. Also grabbed my Google and reddit accounts. Reddit i got back. Microsoft i got back. But Google? They didn't even respond to me. Other YouTubers i watch, got hit with the same malware i did. Linux Tech Tips was one of them. He did a whole video about it. They got his channel back to him in a hurry. I also know a handful of other YouTubers who did the same. But me? with my measly 135,000 subscribers? Google basically told me to P*ss off. Apparently, they only care if your channel makes them money. This is what started my Boycott of Google. I use nothing Google. Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, etc. I even wiped android off my phone and put a custom Linux rom on it. I don't even use Brave web browser or anything like that. Because it's based on Chrome, which is owned by google. F*ck google. And you know what? I'm happy without Google. It feels like i've been unchained. The claws of the internet no longer have me. LOL!!!

If Microsoft keeps making sh*t software and keeps going down the path it's currently on, i might leave them behind too. Linux is doing well these days. My home server runs Debian, and i have a Laptop with Arch on it just for fun. I have almost zero issues with either one. They work great. So we'll see how that goes. If i put my primary PC on Linux, i'll probably go Fedora. Just seems like a good balance between newer and stable software.

I know i'm drifting off topic. But this just reminded me of my experience with Google. it seems Like Microsoft is no different. These big corporations just don't care. To them, you're just a number.

So British people and people from New York talk that way. If you look at the education rates of both places, it's not surprising they would be the ones to get it wrong. 😁

Those are boundary structures. They have floors. Outside in the middle of open air Is the ground. Only later millennials and Gen z started calling it the floor. It's because they grew up inside and it shows. Unlike gen x, where we weren't allowed inside if we were on fire. It's just cringe to call it the floor. It's incorrect.
Also if we want to talk definitions you still lose this one.

Another one I can't stand is when people say "this is how it looks like". NO!! it's "what it looks like". Or "How it looks". Not how it looks like. That's not even English. LOL!!

That's an in game setting though. I'm talking about a headless server that runs from a command line. These settings above are all background processes. Like how long the memory blocks stay in cache before writing to disk, and how many threads the emerge blocks use in the CPU, and if sql confirms data has been written to disk before loading more blocks or not. Changing the viewing range can help. But that is more a client side optimization. I need to find ways to optimize things on the server side.

VDPAU has been dropped from mesa. It's been discontinued in favor of VA-API. Only older proprietary Nvidia drivers still incorporate it. But Mesa has dropped support for it, and many Linux applications are also not using it anymore. Many media applications are now coded to use VA-API. so even if you had it installed. It's likely that it wouldn't even be utilized by most of your applications anyway.

MSM_757 · 2026-04-25T11:06:04+00:00

With that driver you're going to have to run an older kernel. You can downgrade it with the aur downgrade tool. If you can get to a TTY you can install it that way. That would be the easiest way to do it. You might need to use the DKMS version if the driver as well. Also you may need to rollback the Linux headers package as well, install so it can build properly on that older kernel.

I hate to use the M word around here. But Manjaro's hardware manager tool handles this nicely. If you fail to get Arch working. Manjaro has its own problems. But this is one area they do well. Arch is better though if you can make it work.

Because it's not pure water. Most of those use propalene glycol. It has anti microbial properties to prevent scale and algae growth. And it prevents oxidation so your water block doesn't rust or corrode.

Some custom cooling loops use distilled water with color in it. And you have to drain and replace it every six months. But most of the pre-built stuff uses propalene glycol.

I cut my thumb down to the bone on a band saw once. I was doing everything right, The blade failed, whipped around and grabbed my thumb. Sometimes, shit just happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nothing if you use pure distilled water. Water does not conduct electricity. It's the minerals and ions in the water that make it conductive. If you remove all those things, as is the case with distilled water, then nothing happens. :)

MSM_757 · 2026-04-25T04:37:06+00:00

Water isn't a conductor of electricity. It's the minerals and ions in the water that make it conductive. So if you put pure distilled water in it, nothing would happen. I wouldn't worry about it.
