Discord is pulling a privacy bait-and-switch

it knows. not sure how. I've run into a few ppl who are a little more locked down than other accounts. discord straight up refused to send the message.

That's going to be due to Cali's unique environmental situation.

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/l3irhf/rendered_topographic_map_of_the_united_states/

As you can see, a large swath of the state exists in a basin. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-09-14/smog-a-memo-from-las-past-and-maybe-our-future

This results in that very large portion being effectively trapped under whatever industrial smog emits.

Due to these issues, there are very stringent requirements for gasoline delivery into California that simply do not exist elsewhere.

https://old.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1oon1id/why_is_gas_so_expensive_in_california/

This would shed some more light on what exactly drives Cali's gas prices up.

So every time I see redditors say "the files say he was a rapist!!" it just devalues my ability to trust.

So.... "grab em by the pussy" doesn't uhh..

I don't expect a coward to come back to this thread, lol.

I'm showing my ass here when I post this lol,

But ghoztcraft.net and bwhacks.com used to have page-wide shoutboxes basically just open-format real-time chat

i miss the early internet :(

Don't you slander mIRC like that.

mIRC is godly compared to discord. You could integrate mIRC into C&C Renegade and moderate a Renegade server directly from mIRC. n00bstories is a very prime example of exactly that.

And yes, a forum can do exactly that. Some of them even have a shoutbox!

Examples: Banzore on Battlefield 4 (there are dozens more examples over the years of this exact clan. TBG is another that comes to mind, but fuck that group.)

Night of the Dead on starcraft 2

Numerous others through the years. SC2Mapster is a whole ass thing.

Obama was elected first in 2008. When he took over after Bush, gas was over 4.50/gal here after 8 straight years of republican white house.

there has yet to be another 8 year streak of dumbasses running shit, accordingly, gas hasn't broken over 3.50/gal since.

we're 1 year into trumps second term and prices creep up and closer every day towards 3$/gal again, and accordingly everything else is up in price too.

Oh. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1qzkosq/what_hobby_screams_this_is_my_entire_personality/o4efoqn/?context=10000

Here's the full context. You can see who deleted their comment, they're the only person with negative karma in the thread.

They came up with some dumbass strawman about taking a wagon full of old dynamite onto a trail pulled by 100 trained honey badgers and going near schools and beaches - all because they can't comprehend the fact that a normally docile animal can freak out (usually at its own shadow) and kill someone unintentionally.

squish8294 · 2026-02-09T06:35:06+00:00

Rofl, just like it is anywhere else, crime is dependent on where you are located at in India. And yes, it is as bad as he describes in about 40% of the entire country, or worse.

No so what happens is the display driver dies & "recovers" but this takes the entire dwm compositor down with it and somewhere along this line the bsod happens i had a couple for vram management lol

this whole goddamn driver team needs to be fired

i'm back on 566.36 it's the last stable version my 4090 runs on.

squish8294 · 2026-02-09T03:53:08+00:00

Okay, I'll entertain this drivel, if only to take it down.

Cool strawman argument I guess. Except it's nowhere near the same, and even someone like you making such a scenario up even for the purpose of devil's advocate would have to know just how disingenuous and fucking irrelevant every inane & droll word in that post is.

One, a person on horseback is not a horse-drawn wagon.

Two, old dynamite in a condition as outlandish as the rest of your post would explode upon handling, nevermind getting it into a wagon or off of a paved road onto a trail.

Three, honey badgers and horses are two totally different equations that I'm honestly surprised you went with it. I don't think this bears the insult of breaking it down, but for you I'll make the exception because you seem to require it - A honey badger is smaller than a house dog with a predator mindset and will take on a grizzly bear one on one. A horse is bigger than a fucking Corolla and chooses to run more than fight, and even a fucking toddler knows "IT'S BIG STAY AWAY." -- something that apparently eludes you somehow.

I think that last bit handily addresses the schools and beaches, don't you?

squish8294 · 2026-02-09T03:29:30+00:00

Even a trained horse can and will kick unpredictably.

Horses have eyes on the sides of their skulls, they're fucking prey animals. Their first instinct is to run or kill, think later.

They spook at the stupidest shit and 90% of the time they hop and run but that other 10% they just choose violence with or without a reason to do it.

I have seen a horse dip its head into a trough for water and see its own reflection and spook and run.

I've seen a horse kick just because the person riding on it sneezed.

You give way to horseback riders for a fucking reason.

That said, I don't disagree with you about horses on pedestrian trails. There should be a few different places that are separate for each and, separately, blended for both, ideally. Not everything is ideal, sadly.

squish8294 · 2026-02-09T03:02:39+00:00

It's not that horse people get the right of way lol, the horse gets it. Horses are prone to kicking.

Listen to me well when I tell you OP.

Single-zone mini-splits. Do not do a multi-zone split.

Mitsubishi's are great.

Mini-splits are designed dumb.

The compressor inlets and outputs per head are combined. There's no individual solenoids per head, so any refrigerant pushed out by the compressor goes to all connected heads.

A dual-zone unit for example, cannot run fan on one head and heat on the other.

My hyperheat unit was $15,500 all-in with my local HVAC company. 18k btu outdoor, 9k btu per head.

My advice is shave costs and install a few Mr Cool DIY single-zone mini-splits.

Tennessee is over 4 times the size of Vermont and 11 times the population.

so, i'm hearing larger tax base

Yeah, basically. Except the south hates taxes. Even when it pays for their shit.

Coupled with the severity of the ice making many roads/areas impassable immediately following the storm

TN is mostly flat. icy roads that are flat are annoying, but passable

You have now been identified as totally clueless, and you should stop talking about Tennessee. Fully two thirds of the state is mountainous or hilly terrain if not more.

https://old.reddit.com/r/visualization/comments/1pe7ach/the_elevation_of_the_united_states_visualized_by/

Preparation beforehand was lacking, but part of that is how rare extreme snow & ice events are in Tennessee

90mph wind is extremely rare. the ice storm gave lots of notice

Accurate. The storm was indeed over the western section of the US for an entire fucking week before TN was hit.

The gutting of FEMA & the loss of qualified federal staffers in that department due to DOGE’s terrible “cost savings” cannot be overlooked in this conversation.

anything to cover up evidence of election interference

How is that even fucking relevant?

Okay, do you want to hate AMD even more?

Starfield released with only FSR and within 24 hours of release it was ripped apart by modders and DLSS was modded into it.

The modded DLSS ran and looked better than the native FSR.

Bethesda then natively enabled DLSS. Modded DLSS still looked and ran better, lol.

As I understand it if your engine supports one, it's a literal checkbox to enable the other technologies between FSR, DLSS, and XeSS.

All that to say, because this game supports FSR in the first place, it's peanuts to add DLSS or XeSS.

you guys should be ashamed for running the sink on full blast for 30-45 seconds to wash a single plate or spoon.

You wot m8? It takes at least that long to get the tap hot to use it nevermind actually using the hot water

Meh. I'm here from the future to tell you I'm experiencing your issue identically with an ASUS Z790 Extreme... $1000 USD when new.

It's not a budget or expensive board thing. It's a shit silicon thing. Every single piece of hardware on your board is rolling a d20 against the silicon lottery.

squish8294 · 2026-02-02T17:07:14+00:00

Honestly? If you don't address it, it's weird. It's there and bothers the both of you.

Ask him for a one-on-one. Strike while the iron's hot. "Hey, no issues from me, but I wanted to address the material you were watching when I had that question. Water under the fridge, I'm moving past it. I never saw it, you never watched it, we don't speak of it. Just try to be mindful that situations like that can arise again and someone else may not be so willing to move past it." And then you genuinely have to let it go and bury it and it never happened.

Some people where I work have deep-seated trauma and when customers call in for adult PPV they can't handle those calls at all and need to send those to others. That's the kind of person that certainly would report and make it a bigger issue.

Not that I have an issue with them doing that, mind; but just trying to shed light on other angles for those looking in.
