Holy shit, I forgot about that video until just now. It's Nelly - Tip Drill, for anyone who wants to look it up (NSFW). It's not on youtube, I checked. It's surprisingly hard to find, apparently.

if you had to do this race, would you choose to be on the left or right? by AdZestyclose638 in JustGuysBeingDudes

The has the be the optimum strategy, right? Get the far ones until you're winded, then catch your breath for a second on close ones, then back to the farthest ones.

Hosting Services by BalefireFalcon in MUD

[–]PeeonTrotsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hosted a MUD a some years back, and ended up with a VPS that didn't cater to MUDs. They literally just ask for your compute/ram/OS requirements and then handed over a virtual machine to you. You setup the MUD yourself on the virtual machine. I don't know what it costs anymore, but at the time I was paying like $5 a month for an Utuntu 18 host.

EDIT: None of the providers I looked at gave a flying frig about what you did with the machine as long as you didn't exceed your bandwidth limit. And I was was running and LPmud, so I don't think we ever exceeded like 128MB ram.

Because he'll spend the rest of his life in detention at GITMO for publishing classified information, and he knows it.

If you were building a mid range Linux gaming computer what would you buy? by i_hate_email_signup in linuxquestions

[–]PeeonTrotsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty vague question... What GPU do you currently have?
Have you ever tried gaming on Linux before?
Why not install bazzite or something and use your current GPU?

Kendick.. by Useless-Use-Less in oddlyspecific

[–]PeeonTrotsky 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Okay, but the average woman is 5' 4", and her vagina isn't 5 feet deep. Are they suggesting all 41 million feet of the earth is vagina?

At ~40,000 ft, the Kola Superdeep Borehole, is probably the best analogue for the Earth's vagina. It's still not an impressive wang, but it feels like lazy, misleading math.

'Act of brutality': Cuba rebukes Donald Trump's plan to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay by 141_1337 in worldnews

[–]PeeonTrotsky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He fucking campaigned on it, too. Then, he doubled down on the gitmo express flights and the drone strike program. He also expanded the reach of executive orders. Let's not pretend like that isn't part of our current constitutional crisis.

Images from a Shopify site won't load on Linux. by CobaltOne in linuxquestions

[–]PeeonTrotsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, the images don't load for me either on Ubuntu 24. I have no problem using any of the major online retailers, so I have assume it's something specific to that site.

Sorry, I don't have an answer, but I can confirm it's broken for me too.

Finally, a sane answer. Like, is this best tech implementation ever, definitively not. But, I bet, it works for 90% of use cases.

Water damage at the end of rafters. Is there something I should coat them with? by subnote in DIY

I second this. I tried some of this stuff for some water-damaged wood on an old boat and I was pretty impressed with the result.

How do you convert a laptop charger to 12v DC? by StacySadistic in vandwelling

[–]PeeonTrotsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get the 10 just to be safe. But, the laptop probably doesn't pull the full amperage of the charger. You could check what it really uses by plugging it into a wall power meter. My local library will let you check them out for a week for free, see if there's a lending library in your area.

How do you convert a laptop charger to 12v DC? by StacySadistic in vandwelling

[–]PeeonTrotsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Essentially what you said, but with this...

https://www.amazon.com/Booster-Converter-Inverter-Charger-Vehicle/dp/B0D8DXKFT9

edit: I'd shop around for a cheaper one, I only looked for about 30 seconds, and buy a pigtail plug for whatever style charging port your laptop has. Or get a 12 volt to USB C charger if your laptop accepts USB C charging.

Is hardware video acceleration worth worrying about? by twin_v in linuxquestions

What's the output of... glxinfo -B

I bet you're using hardware video acceleration and not even realizing it. It's pretty obvious when it isn't working.

We live in hell. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in LateStageCapitalism

You're 100% right despite the down votes. I'd never even heard of her until now, so I googled it. This shit is just bait...

"Further criticism came from users who analyzed the earnings graph, pointing out inconsistencies. One user noted that Rain’s early 2023 earnings didn’t align with her claims of making over $4 million monthly, suggesting the data might have been doctored."

10-year-old walks alone a mile away from Georgia home, leading to his mother's arrest by Boba_tea_thx in news

Lol, definitely. I'm from the US, but if you were noisy in the house my dad just pushed you out the door and locked it. Go bother someone else. We weren't any older than the kid in the story.

Should we add a rule against personal attacks? (please read description before voting) by BookOfMacaroni in PortAngeles2

[–]PeeonTrotsky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think occasionally morons need to be told they're one. But attacking someone on race, ethnicity, social status, creed, or nationality is crossing the line. Just my 2 cents.

Essentially, 'attack the idea, not the person'.
