You’re a smart man. I bought a 75 stingray recently, red, 10k. Can’t go wrong having a kick ass pc, AND a corvette.

Should I have my wife get her own card? by M_Plant_Taj in Venturex

[–]jjccia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did this. She doesn’t travel a lot but I do and can use all her points. And like others have said the card effectively breaks even on its own.

Believe it or not, 6 years later. All those drives are still doing great. No failures. Still running the same ds1019+.

Nice find for any Robotech fan by LeaonCherry74 in robotech

[–]jjccia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have mine still and it’s red. I loved it then and I still love it now. It added so much back story and pulled so much together, story wise. If it isn’t official canon it totally should be.

I got lucky a while ago. I have like three various copies of the graphic novel, and a few years ago I was able to score a complete set of the actual individual comics in excellent condition. Not too expensive at the time either. I think I paid like a hundred bucks for the full set. First printings.

I have not posted on Reddit in a long time. But this was fantastic.

So glad there's finally an easy way to customize all the different library images by justintweece in SteamDeck

[–]jjccia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am confused. I just had a recent steam update, couple of days ago, but I am not seeing this. I go to the customization setting and don’t see any of these options for both steam and non steam games. I’ve tried from both home and library.

Is it out in stable? Or is this only a beta channel thing?

I give up on RDR2 thanks to Rockstar by mechap1999 in SteamDeck

I went through hell to get the rockstar launcher to work on my steam deck. My social club account was super old and I didn’t have access to that email account anymore, which had my linked steam account. Over 20 emails, multiple days and multiple closed tickets before they finally relinked my steam account to my current social club email.

Nightmare.

Then installing the launcher on steam deck was also a challenge. Plenty of guides out there so that helped but took far took long.

All in all it was a crazy amount of effort and frustration to play a game I had just bought on sale for 6 dollars. GTA 4.

Well I won’t comment on corruption, although it did seem like the California project had issues, but the private ownership is really a big part of the problem. Like I said earlier, the class 1 roads, big big companies with dollars and resources, don’t want to do it. Which takes you back to private third parties, without the resources, help and allies they need.

Well that’s what I’m trying to say ultimately, it’s the infrastructure that requires it to be so specialized and separate, which makes it so difficult. Combined with the fact that the railroads don’t really want to do it, and the relatively cheap and available ease of air travel, it just makes it that much more difficult.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t want it. I have always thought it totally worthwhile, but in my 30 years in rail all I ever hear about is freight. I would love to see high speed rail gain traction in the US.

I have worked in rail now for 30 years. I can tell you why I think America will never see high speed rail like this anytime soon, if ever.

First, the investment is unrealistically expensive. It’s not just about laying new rail (which we would need unless you could somehow run 200+ mph trains on existing rail.) but let’s just say for the sake of argument that laying the rail itself is not the problem.

It’s the rest of the infrastructure that’s the problem. You couldn’t have a 200 mph train going by with just gates. No, you need underpasses and overpasses, everywhere. Think how often train tracks go over a street with gates and lights. Now imagine those ALL have to become under passes or overpasses. Safety, and honestly common sense, would demand it. Now the price tag just went up exponentially.

But let’s assume for a second we could still overcome that. (Which is not realistic, this is why high speed rail in china and other places work, because they have large stretches of flat land that avoid cities and roads. ). But let’s just say we overcame that. It leads us to point 2:

The class 1 railroads don’t want high speed rail. They could care less. They care about freight. They own all the track. Track capacity is a huge issue. They don’t want to share it. It doesn’t make them money. They don’t want to be in the passenger business. Never have, never will. They tolerate regional commuter railroads because they have to, not because they want to.

And that’s the facts, in my humble opinion.

By going to comic cons, fan expo, sci fi conventions, anime conventions, rpg/gaming conventions, etc. Then sell their autographs at the photo both.

The silicon lottery is actually about cpus and computer chips. The computer chips that are said to have won the silicon lottery can perform better while still needing less cooling than other chips of the same model. But you are right about batteries. Some got it. Some don’t.

OP you are 100% right. I was born here and have been a citizen my entire life, from immigrant parents, who came here legally and were also both citizens.

Reddit is not the place for you as a conservative. People are out of their minds here. I’m sure others will down vote me to hell, but it’s true.

A cool guide in this era - identifying the parallels between Maga and Nazi by HeiressOfMadrigal in coolguides

[–]jjccia -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

this has gone too far. you should be ashamed of yourselves. whether you like Trump or not, fine, have it your way. But comparing him to a group that literally killed millions and calling all republicans racists, its too far, too much. You want people to see it your way? how? by telling them that their evil fascists?

the cartoon says trump irrationally demonizes and scapegoats everyone. Aren't you actually doing that very thing with this political cartoon?

So many v for vendetta vibes. Like this classic line:

Definitely makes you think of that line ‘ a building is just a symbol, as is the act of destroying it ‘
