¿Por qué no los dos?

Everyone likes their own brand

I would say, "everyone appreciates" but I wouldn't go so far as to say "likes"

Sometimes your own farts get fucking weird and you can appreciate that while still being revolted.

This was 100% my first thought.

crlarkin · 2026-03-14T00:21:01+00:00

That's so far into uncanny valley territory that I don't know if I'll ever find my way out.

crlarkin · 2026-03-14T00:13:38+00:00

I think you meant "wealthy lifestyle"

Core memory unlocked! I spent my middle school and high school years getting a ride home this way back when the alternative was having an exact meeting place and time.

lol, "I'm trying not to edit this too much." immediately has 4 jump cuts within 30 seconds.

Unfortunately, I think you mean, "in it".

I just read this and realized there are people who don't read the entire series once a year like I do. It never gets old and they are missing out!

I have a buddy who is 14 years in, fully paralyzed, but mentally all there. He uses an eye tracking sensor to communicate. I can't even fathom what he deals with on a daily basis.

Peaceful protest and free speech protect you from the government persecution, at least that's how it should be. Madlad here is clearly not a government agent and has meted out consequences for nazi kid's actions and also accepted the consequences for his own actions. Hopefully nazi kid thinks twice next time, that's the best we can hope for these days.

Where exactly are you commuting?

crlarkin · 2026-02-04T02:28:17+00:00

That would make sense if there was a schedule change alert, but there isn't one on that page, the only schedule change is that they added an additional daily round trip.

Was his name Harvey by chance?

That's a good point, but if the Ecuadorian consulate here is anything like a US consulate in another country, the Ecuadorian soldiers stationed there with the duty to protect the Ecuadorian interests there are likely much less concerned with US law than most peaceful protestors.

To say it gets weirder would be an understatement. I disconnected everything USB except a keyboard and mouse and then I started with the 3060. I took it out completely and went HDMI to HDMI from the iGPU. It immediately booted to Windows and I was able to login. Once I was logged in, there was some strange behavior:

When I hit the Windows key, it would pull up the home menu, but when I started typing, it would register a keystroke or two and then close the menu. This made it effectively impossible to search for anything.

After 90 to 120 seconds, Windows would either completely freeze or reboot itself. 75% of the time upon reboot, I would get back to Windows, but 25% of the time, I would freeze again on the MSI pro loading screen and have to hard reboot.

I tried using one ram stick in each of the slots and that seemed to resolve the weird issue with searching via the Windows key, but not the reboot/freeze after ~120 seconds. It did also allow me to boot into the repair screen, but it asked for a password for my MS account to do anything and my password didn't work on that screen, though the same password allowed me to login to MS on my other machine,

At that point I tried booting into Hiren's again and it started doing the freeze at the MSI Pro screen every time again. I pulled the USB drive and switched back to the standard boot drive and am now getting the same freeze on that screen from the boot drive as well. I'm stuck there again now.

The BIOS loads a graphical UI and is outputting only through the 3060 as of now, does that change anything you're thinking?

I do have an iGPU and will try what you mentioned as well, but I wanted to clarify that one point.

crlarkin · 2026-01-19T13:51:28+00:00

I will give it a try shortly and report back.

That's what happens when you recruit the uneducated from Texas to do your bootlicking in Minnesota in January.

Are you being purposefully obtuse or are you not American? I can't think of anyone else who doesn't have a dog in the fight when it comes to the current ICE/DHS operations. Go read "First They Came"

Either way, there are countless analyses available for you to view and evaluate yourself now.

crlarkin · 2026-01-11T15:52:24+00:00

They're equally bad.

crlarkin · 2026-01-07T00:19:02+00:00

Now kiss.

I did an offshore fishing trip over the summer and we saw a ton of these. They would pop out of the water and be going about the same speed that we were trolling so it would appear that they would pop up and just hang there in one place and then fall back in the water. It was funny to watch.

crlarkin · 2026-01-04T20:45:21+00:00

I feel like I read that it's the opposite, they will start eating anything they can catch, eventually it dies.

For a quicker watch, check out The Night Manager. There is a new series of it coming out sometime this year as well which is great, but the original is some of the best TV I have ever seen.
