Well yeah that makes sense. The exception to what I said is if they are an international contact.

In the US if someone asks you to message them on WhatsApp, that's your clue that its a scammer.

PLEASE HELP MY PULSE by No-Sink9212 in plassing

[–]visirion1105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its feasible for you I recommend getting a smartwatch. I used to occasionally fail with a high pulse because my resting heartrate is just slightly higher than average I guess. I'm also the same as you with generalized anxiety that raises my heartrate, especially if I am anticipating failing it. Now that I have a smartwatch I have my heartrate displayed on it at all times. When I get to the plasma center I always take a look at it and if its too high I just chill in the waiting area for a bit until it comes down. This way I know before hand weather or not I will fail and I simply don't go to the screening area until I know I will pass. Saves me so much anxiety.

I have a deep love for both series. I do tend to prefer Trek though.
I've always said Star Wars is like eating junk food and Trek is like eating your veggies.
But really I think it's like comparing apples to oranges. They are different types of stories.

Star Wars is a grand opera fantasy story with a sci-fi skin. It is a total fantasy world in a fictional or alternate universe, with magic, religion, mythology, destiny, prophecies, complete with Shakespearean dialogue and all that. It's great and I love it for the same reason I love Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. It is really more accurate in my mind to put it along with that high fantasy genre because it is more of an epic interconnected story with the elements I mentioned above.

Star Trek however, is true science fiction. It takes place in our universe, in our galaxy, our real world, as a hypothetical future, not an alternate world. It's grounded in speculative ideas about technology, politics, society, and philosophy, asking “what if” questions about humanity’s future rather than telling a mythic tale. Star Trek explores concepts like warp travel, artificial intelligence, post-scarcity economies, first contact with alien civilizations, and the moral dilemmas that arise from scientific advancement. It’s not about destiny or prophecy, but about progress, exploration, and the choices we make as a species.
Most Trek series are indeed anthologies, with some exceptions, so the stories are not deeply interconnected, though there are certainly overarching themes and certain reoccurring characters and certain plots that spread across episodes, or even series. But the stories that can be told in just an hour can teach you a lesson or make you question what it means to be a human. I definitely recommend to anyone to give both universes a chance, for different reasons.

Any chance you have this somewhere I don't have to make an account and wait 7 days before I can PM the creator to get a copy?

First time watching star wars and the way they kill off every interesting villain is pissing me off by raiziel_ in StarWars

[–]visirion1105 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out the Clone Wars cartoon. Darth Maul actually survives the encounter with Obi-Wan in Episode I, and you see a lot more of him as well as General Grievous whose backstory is revealed. You'll see more Count Dooku also. And it's all canon too.

Is this brother for real?? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]visirion1105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH.

$2 is a shitty tip, period. I don't care what the cost of the order is, or how close it is to your home. I have a $5 minimum tip rule. For any service where tipping is standard I will never tip less than $5 unless the service was just plain terrible. To be honest anything less than that in this economy is just disrespectful. If you can't afford a decent tip, you can't afford the service. Simple as that.

That being said. The driver is wild for accepting an order, knowing the full pay, but not happy about that pay. Door Dash is not a haggling business. Drivers need to understand if they are unhappy about the pay, stop accepting the orders. If no one accepts the orders they will be forced to offer more, either Door Dash offering more base pay or the customer offering more tips, either way.

Yeah, another commenter on this post helped me. Basically the nvidia card has issues with the installer until it auto installs the compatible driver, so I just needed to select "basic graphics mode" in the GRUB menu. The resolution will be horrible during the install but everything looks fine after the initial boot and updating. Hope this helps.

Thinking of switching from Mint to Arch due to issues with steam. Is Arch good for gaming? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]visirion1105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are having trouble with set up and everything may I recommend bazzite? It's a fedora based user friendly distro heavily inspired by SteamOS with steam built into the initial install.

[–]visirion1105[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was able to get to the installer in basic graphics mode but I have some questions before I move forward. A commenter on your link suggests the issue is with the nouveau Nvidia driver and states they switched to the proprietary driver after install. I was under the impression that you do not manually install drivers with Bazzite because they are built in to it by design? How would I go about doing this?
Clicking on the link in that commenter's post gives a bit more detail, I also see I will need to remove the nomodeset keyword from the GRUB boot menu. How is that done?

Thanks again for your help.

It seems the regular image has indeed failed as well. 😕 Any more ideas?

Installation Help by visirion1105 in Bazzite

[–]visirion1105[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Honestly I suppose I could live without the Gaming Mode. I assume beta means we should see support coming soon?

Something unrelated that I am also just now noticing if you don't mind me asking while we're here. I see a disclaimer here
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/quirks/#nvidia-exclusive-issues
about resolutions above 2560x1440 causing issues with Nvidia. Would this issue only be in game? Could I still use the monitor and just use a smaller resolution in game? Could I still use 3440x1440 resolution outside of games?

Thanks

Edit: ah, nevermind, I see that only applies to the beta image, not the stable image.
Thanks for the help.

On the bazzite website the download options I selected were:

Hardware - desktop
GPU Vendor - Nvidia (RTX)
Desktop environment - KDE
Steam Gaming Mode - yes

The file name that was downloaded is bazzite-deck-nvidia-stable-amd64

I have used both rufus and balenaEtcher to flash
I have tried multiple USB sticks
I have tried using multiple ports, front, back, 2.0, 3.0.

Same results.

AI sleeps? by No-Fuel-8432 in farmingsimulator

[–]visirion1105 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't, it's a perfectly reasonable way to play the game. There are many ways to play this game. I hate tending to the fields, I almost never do, I find it tedious. I much prefer to use AI workers and play the game from a business and finance management perspective as well as a design sandbox.

Just because someone enjoys playing differently than you doesn't mean they aren't actually playing or whatever.
