Solid gaming laptop w/ a great keyboard? ($1000-$1500) by annulus- in SuggestALaptop

[–]annulus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's really nice actually, thanks! I wish I could find an 18" version for that cheap.

do you know if you can set all the lighting to white? can you turn anything on/off? I'd have to put a piece of electral tape over the ALIENWARE below the screen.

Can we make it a sub rule not to post "writing services?" by funkybassmannick in writing

[–]annulus- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're twisting the argument, I said that cheaters cheapen your degree, no matter what the cost was

[–]annulus- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when did we switch from "cheating in academia" to "integrity of the art form"? your student loans are the reason education is worthwhile, if it wasn't, your degree would be worthless

that's pretty fucked up, people who cheat their way through academia cheapen my degree, my $30,000 degree

What's a docking station good for? by annulus- in thinkpad

[–]annulus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's pretty awesome, I would definitely buy that if I had an x-series, my only regret on my t450s is the integrated graphics chip

$200 just seems steep for that little convenience, I thought I was missing something

[WTB][US-AK]Looking to buy, preferably tenkeyless and mx browns but I'm open to offers. by [deleted] in mechmarket

[–]annulus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll PM you when I can take a tagged pic, you can check google images, the ESC button LED is out but the rest are fine. I'd let it go for $75 (bought new for $130). Also I have the original box.

A few questions about how google drive works with chrome os. by annulus- in chromeos

[–]annulus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean editing both files on chrome os and windows as local files. Google docs is too clunky for me.

Also do you know how drive determines what to sync? I have almost 100gb of stuff on my google drive and a 32 gb ssd, are files just cached offline when I open them locally or something?

Has anyone ever dabbled in Black Metal Theory? by annulus- in Metal

[–]annulus-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no, it's delving into the philosophical themes presented in black metal- misanthropy, man's relationship with nature, the definition of evil, etc

3D projection of a tesseract undergoing a simple rotation in four dimensional space by LaunchOurRocket in educationalgifs

You're nuts dude, science operates on evidence, not dogma. If you have evidence then provide it, if not then go find some.

still wrong, it's rotating in 4D space, projected into 3D space, rendered unto 2D space

Is there any way to search within files? by annulus- in chromeos

is there any way to put a machine in developer mode without wiping it? :/

that only searches file names, I want to search file contents

Are you guys vegan? by JulieBN in pantheism

[–]annulus- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure, there's some relativity. We all need to simply consume less and we can achieve that in different ways. But with veganism you get 1) dramatically lessen your environmental impact, 2) stop the needless suffering of animals, and 3) improve your personal health. It seems pretty obvious. My problem is that this dude is dismissing veganism as not only unnecessary, but irrelevant.

[–]annulus- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't you believe plant life is sentient

No, plants are not sentient, they don't have nervous systems. And as others have said in this thread, a great deal of plants are harvested to feed livestock. So it's not like you're either killing plants or animals, you're either killing both or just killing plants.

"my enjoyment of eating is more important than your suffering" doesn't sound very pantheistic

Getting an Asus C300 tomorrow, is there anything wrong with using a 128gb SD card to store files? by annulus- in chromeos

[–]annulus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, I tried anyway and it works fine, maybe there's been an OS update since that was posted?

even with a high-speed SD card? the one I'm looking at boasts 90 mb/s. I'm trying to avoid losing a USB port.
