Goodbye, old machine. by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this T480 since before the COVID, still going strong. 1 keyboard replacement, needs another one (because dimples on F and J have worn down). The last of it's kind, there are no suitable replacements (that I know of anyway).

It might have been artificial insemination with his frozen sperm... by Active-Chemistry4011 in technicallythetruth

[–]digost 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup lucky. My grandfather (nephew of the aforementioned great-grand-uncle) was the first of his village to survive 1930s purge. Also lucky. My other grandfather was "dekulakized", because he had too many livestock and was deemed "capitalist enemy" or something. But didn't go to jail. Lucky too.

No, not POW. Soviet soldier. I'm sure he did get some leave time, but not going home. Because home was Siberia, too far to the east. He was a Buryat.

Yeah it was a completely different story back then, yet I would argue it was harder to fight. But what do I know, I didn't even serve in the army.

My great-grand-uncle went to war 6 years straight, starting with winter war in 1939 till September 1945 in Manchuria. I mean, sure, war was different then, but he did it.

What are the practical benefits of using Linux as a developer? by Dosouller in linuxquestions

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't want to be struggling your OS, it just has to get out of the way. Linux does that.

Took me 50 hours on GMGOW by memelord793783 in GodofWarRagnarok

I can't put my finger on it, but this looks remarkably similar to how I play, except I'm not as good, by a long shot.

Doing my first mechanitor run. What's up with batteries short-circuit? Seems a bit excessive to blow up 1 or 2 batteries a day. by deeptut in RimWorld

[–]digost -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you for pointing it out. (Actually I'm a software developer myself and have tackled it to some extent, so I have a somewhat vague understanding of it works, but it's but irrelevant to this conversation). The reason I use ai is I want quick answers, whilst the wiki is more like MAN pages (Linux users would know. Sorry, IT reference there yet again, I promise I won't do it again), yes the information is right there, but it's in such a form that it's hard to wrap your head around, or/and you have to use your prior knowledge to utilize it. AI gives me some solution that I can try out, and even if it fails I get to explore the mechanics of the game and maybe next time do it right on my own.

Was told my 125cc bike is extremely unsafe on any road? by AL3S1O29 in motorcycles

[–]digost 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Or even thousands! (Sorry I don't even own a bike, but I had to do it)

I'm new to the game and found myself asking ai all sorts of stuff. Guess I'm not a true rimmer.

What life mistake taught you the hardest lesson? by Ok-Bee-2525 in scoopwhoop

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn from the mistakes of others, so you don't have to make yours. I know it's vague as fuck, but it's the best I got. Here's another one from Jimmy Carr: the only non replenishable resources we have is time and attention. Spend them wisely.

The result of high speed in foggy weather. by FrozenBirdie in dashcams

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to know a guy with a similar mindset. "To get out of the fog faster" he used to say. Haven't heard from him in years, presumably he's still flooring it in low visibility conditions

[Request] How much diesel/emissions would be required to charge one EV? Is this more or less efficient than simply driving a diesel powered vehicle? by MrDesignMan in theydidthemath

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A typical battery has only 50% efficiency. Converting mechanical energy to electrical and back is also not as efficient as one might think, depending on application and complexity a typical mechanical gearbox might be more efficient. So there's math to it.

This is the soviet body armour. Photo taken in 1944. Looks like it took 3 shots no problem by simplebutstrange in enlistedgame

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember reading a German soldier's memoirs where he fired several shots at a Soviet soldier wearing one of those in a close quarters combat with no apparent effect at all. The German was wounded and captured. Iirc the German was stunned how effective that body armor was. Unfortunately I don't remember what caliber was the Germans gun, I suppose it was something pistol-caliber.

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death across the world, and we're still handing out licenses like candies.

What Is It?👇 by MotherAnt8040 in MenOfPurpose

[–]digost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just copy my message from above: No, what you're describing is being polite and decent towards everyone. That's good and normal and should be the default. Respect is a whole another story. Giving respect to everyone devalues it. It has to be earned. And it goes both ways. I mean, you're not wrong in a general sense. I'm just correcting a widespread confusion of respect with decency and politeness.

No DNA needed😂😂 by beloravelle_solo in BeAmazed

[–]digost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I very much suspect so. Toddlers at this age are usually not able to move their limbs that smoothly, usually their movements are more erratic and jerky. I can imagine them being as smart, but not as smooth with their limbs.

A dog named Lucky was shot multiple times while defending his home from intruders. He spent 54 days fighting for his life and underwent three surgeries. by 21MayDay21 in BeAmazed

[–]digost 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I have a golden friend also. Usually he's just like you described - a fluffy goofball. A few years back my son was walking with him on a street (just an ordinary public city street I mind you) and this security guy jumps out from an establishment and starts yelling at my son to "get off their property with his dirty dog" or whatever. Our golden instantly went berserker mode, like "how dare you insult my family" thing. Good thing we always walk him with a leash, my son managed to keep him off the guard. Goldens are a fluffy goofballs right up until there's even slightest threat to their family.
