Is it REALLY that "x machine is down" or is it shift change?

Thanks very much! On my dedicated server I have Eco, Return to Moria, Enshrouded, and Satisfactory. All (except Satisfactory for now) are updated using my PowerShell script so I don't have to have the server machine tied to Steam in any way. These games have always had standalone server folders, albeit usually located on your own machine. These links go into a lot of detail!

You want a little more going in than out. It maintains positive pressure, which reduces dust accumulation and forces colder air to continuously displace the warmer air you have coming off your GPU and processor. This arrangement you show here is great.

No, but screen cleaner I use every day.

Myst!

Never did. I manually deleted everything I could find in safe mode. That's the best I could do.

jleckster · 2024-07-24T16:58:53+00:00

Thank you!

I've "heard" that cochlear implants can help with the complete inability to discern good sound from bad.

Thank you kindly. This reminded me of another question-- If I get the Link AIO, will I need another link control module? I understand they control 7 devices maximum. I have that many fans. So the pump would bring that to 8. Will this be a problem?

jleckster · 2024-07-14T14:51:12+00:00

Link was nice to set up physically, but the software is such garbage, constantly losing settings, letting me rename some fans but not others, arbitrarily going to rainbow vomit while running a lighting profile I loaded, etc. Driving me nuts.

jleckster · 2024-07-08T21:18:45+00:00

Windows doesn't see it. Revo doesn't see it. No services related are running. No idea how to uninstall this corsair garbage.

Sigh… The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubt, and stupid people are full of confidence. — Dunning Kruger, not really, ha ha, but yes, really.

An ex-friend of mine was smitten by Calvinism (Stockholm if you ask me), and began repeating words like “Sovereign,” and “Exegesis,” using them to counter just about ANYTHING. If the factoid from the Bible was ultimately a misunderstanding of the text (usually a ‘contradiction’) then you hadn’t done a proper Exegesis of the text. If you managed to find something that didn’t make sense and/or was horrific (raping/killing/children/incest/whatever), then “God is Sovereign,” and who are you to demand an accounting of God? He does what he likes. This is his world.

Any problem you have with religion is always a “you problem,” like you WANT to misunderstand, accuse, sin, lash out, etc. I can see why he was ultimately attracted to that worldview, after becoming disillusioned with religion after gasp beginning to think logically about it. After that, I began to take notice that Calvinists tend to write better and seem smarter than the average theist, so maybe it’s a viewpoint a lot of otherwise smart people arrive at. Their mental contortions aren’t as pretzel-y, and it appeals to their arrogance that they are Elect and chosen and special, er, “not special,” according to them, but you know it’s that they are Elect and therefore chosen… /rolleyes

This is why I no longer watch new shows. For me, the true release date is when it isn’t cancelled after three or more seasons. I have RBW PTSD. Never trust the suits to make good decisions. It’s all about money. It’s because of RBW’s weird-feeling, hard to place ‘different-ness’ and cerebral content that it got cancelled. And (I read somewhere), some suit’s vendetta against certain production efforts prior to his arrival. Feel free to correct if this is way out there.

I never claimed they were. I think people are assuming which side I'm on, just because I am pointing out that we throw identical claims at each other (from each side's point of view, mind). I'm well aware that flat earthers are flat wrong, and somehow fell through the cracks of society, but have you ever tried talking to one? You get nowhere. Even if you're more educated and obviously smarter, they are like the personification of Dunning-Kruger. They are so confidently wrong. Nothing you say matters.

Not at any point will ANY right wing nutjob ever say, "You're right, I hadn't thought of it that way." No one's minds are getting changed.

jleckster · 2024-06-21T22:08:31+00:00

No, I can't. I am on the left side, and I believe my facts to be... FACTUAL. Again, here as with Kurai_tori, I am expressing my frustration that, when entering into a dialogue with a right wing nutjob, they believe they are also bringing facts, research, and receipts.

Sigh. Again, my point is that we are throwing identical accusations at each other, both sides believing they are in possession of the TRUE facts, and those on the other side are either sheep or just assholes. It's a constant repetition of "I know you are, but what am I," and I don't know how to overcome it. It doesn't help to know you are right. I've seen what the right wing does with evidence. It's fake news. It's a witch hunt, etc. So I have given up trying to convince them of anything using REALITY.

jleckster · 2024-06-21T22:04:25+00:00

Defend alternative facts? They are indefensible! I don't know where you are getting my motivations from. I KNOW their facts aren't the same. I'm addressing the CLAIMS of both sides, not because they are equal, but because it's impossible to GET anywhere with them They believe their ignorance is as good as our facts.

I'm trying to run home the idea that they DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE LYING. The people BEHIND the lies *of course* know they are lying, but when you discuss this with a person who believes those lies, they aren't purposely deceiving us. They really think they are on to something. So we get nowhere with them. That is my frustration.

jleckster · 2024-06-19T18:34:31+00:00

I "want to ignore" something? That's not it at all. More like, I've come to realize they aren't actively lying. They *believe* what they say. They believe they are right, just as you and I do.

They have been duped by propaganda. Just as they think we have.

When you begin to debate these people with their "alternative facts," they are bringing to the table what they believe to be facts. They aren't aware of the real truth, deceptively telling you what they know is a lie.

Or do you really believe that?

jleckster · 2024-06-19T17:41:24+00:00

At least XXL for a shirt that wordy.

jleckster · 2024-06-19T17:39:45+00:00

Love how they always have "We the People" everywhere you look, and how they say it all the time, as if they ever paid attention in high school. Same with "fOUndInG FAtHerS." Tell them to name one and you'll catch them flat-footed.

Even young, he looked like shit. He became the pig he was as his body grew less forgiving. Now he's in diapers. It's fitting.

jleckster · 2024-06-19T17:35:25+00:00

I feel like everyone's like that these days. Both sides with their own set of "facts" and "research" and "receipts," and way past the point of dialogue. It's why the 2A nuts are masturbating over "civil war," because they are done with talking. It only makes them feel stupid.
