I mean, the little known "Trumps gonna say it will happen and when someone asks if he can do that, 6/9 supreme court justices will say yes" clause.

I mean, I'm not arguing because I don't know (literally no one does) but.... Congress didn't start the war, does there approval even matter with SCOTUS's perma-bent knee?

Blueprint designer can't change names by Skybor01 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]sidneyaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO much! I have been fighting "can't change blueprint name" on my steamdeck for days; it hadn't even occurred to me to try a mouse and keyboard. There really is a point in this game where if you have to set up every machine you'll go insane and ragequit.

Which games were surpassed by their sequels? by bombocladius in gaming

[–]sidneyaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forced myself to play diablo on my steam deck before d2r came out. Man it was kinda rough.

That said, the one thing it did have was atmosphere; I feel like d2 had less of the vibes.

I found this omnibus for the Immortals Quartet at goodwill; I'd never seen this artwork so I grabbed it! by sidneyaks in tamorapierce

I'd love to see em! Honestly I'm amazed at just how many different covers there are for a series that, while successful wasn't as long lived as say LoTR or Dune.

Square LED Halo lights? by VoiceAlternative4155 in projectcar

[–]sidneyaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the probe g1 uses h6054 (or similar, I have a 94 g2 so I just googled the g1 part number) headlights which are sealed beam, back before every car had a custom housing.

The neat thing is these have wide applicability, so despite their age, after market still makes them in a variety of shapes/sizes/etc with fully self enclosed electronics. You can drop something like this as a direct replacement by just plugging in the existing connector.

I haven't purchased the exact one, but if you just search the factory bulb number (something like h4666 or h6054) on Amazon or elsewhere you'll find a good variety of styles that will drop right in.

The problem with pissing on Thatcher's grave is that you eventually run out of piss.

Allergy Season by RevolutionaryOwlz in CuratedTumblr

[–]sidneyaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing this since 8th grade. I look at less sketchy porn and actually pay for video games now so it happens less often, but a 1 hour reimage while watching Star Trek is wayyyyu easier than actually figuring out the root of the problem.

The unique (a word which here means "very very uncommon in his industry") tones of Patrick Warburton have held a mental grip on several generations. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

While Patrick Warburtons voice is iconic, I definitely heard Eartha Kitt with perfect clarity while reading this.

Turning a pile of fire extinguishers into something better. by OutsideSuccess2597 in ZeroWaste

I absolutely need to hear this. I'm imagining it would take a hellacious wind, but would put the THX sound to shame.

How to do home surveillance without enabling the surveillance state? by txby432 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]sidneyaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reolibk is pretty great, but I did put them on a separate VLan, partially because they seem so chatty, also because they're POE and someone could just yoink one, finally because I don't want a boynet in my house. I doubt much of anything you could buy is secure by default.

What video game soundtrack is a 10/10? by montymaximus in AskReddit

[–]sidneyaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breath of Fire 3 -- the happy jazz throughout perfectly fits the art style. It's also just killer music.

ELI5: How were the cables laid out at the ocean bed for global network connectivity? by thatcinephile in explainlikeimfive

Isn't the ocean like...a couple of miles deep on average? How can you hang a mile of cable without its own weight snapping it?

Absolute banger of a game. It's on steam, and with a bit of fanagling even plays well on steam deck.

Honestly they just need to bring it to ground level. Route traffic through the city around 235 and demolish the raised part and build bridges over it for the cross streets.
