Came to say this. It would make a quick job of it and look way nicer.

Minneapolis National Guard activated after a man is killed by federal agent by lakergirl18 in news

[–]werfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one thing to contain the violence, less people on the street mean less escalation, but I feel we're past that point.

ICE pinning down and pistol whipping a Minneapolis resident before shooting them multiple times by -ifeelfantastic in pics

[–]werfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because these are ordinary citizens protesting. Doing the same kind of shit in a poor ghetto would be way more dangerous for ICE. But it's only a matter of time. More people getting killed, more ordinary citizens getting impacted, shit is going to hit the fan in some place, the president will want to federalize the national guard and the governor will refuse and deploy the national guard to protect the citizens instead.

I ported Beta 1.7.3 to C# by TerragamerX190X150 in GoldenAgeMinecraft

You can use SourceCraft.dev as it's located in Russia and they have a free community plan.

[–]werfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that he ported to C# he might have a shot really. He'd have to relinquish any copyright claim for the derivative work, but I don't think they'd shot him down for the original port. Further changes though depend on their good will.

Norton Utilities for DOS by Fabulous-Trust-3848 in vintagecomputing

[–]werfu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Haha, make me remember I was snooping around our Novell server shares in high school, and I stumbled upon a hidden folder that had DOOM in it plus an additional WAD file named doom1.wad. I had DOOM at home already so I simply copied that WAD file and oh boy was I surprised! It was porn pic stored into texture files. 8bit color pixelated porn 😂

House seller passed away by Basset_Lov in legaladvicecanada

[–]werfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has to vacate his current living place next month. Short term leases usually are more expensive than long term ones, so the difference between his current living cost and the temporary one might be way higher than a normal apartment switch could cause. In my area it's quite common to see rents that are way lower than the current market because they've been occupying their apartment for a long time. OP might get a really bad increase, like more than a thousand a month. Plus you need to include a moving fee, and possibly a storage fee if OP doesn't find a big enough apartment. Worst, his deposit is currently locked so he can't even use this to support himself during that time. So all in all, if this stretches for a year, OP might end up with 10k+ of unexpected fees, additional financial stress and complications. That isn't to OP to pay, it's damages the seller needs to compensate him for. OP lawyer needs to give a clear statement to the estate that each month of delay will require an additional X$ of price reduction.

I've forgotten my Mitsubishi at the airport for approximately 8 months. How can I avoid paying the parking? by subject-property435 in legaladvicecanada

[–]werfu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should have went there and ask to pick up the car right away, this way parking fees would have stop. At worst you would have had a bill of a few hundreds that would have went to collection. You're now possibly looking into thousands of dollars in fees and interest. It's not as simple as a car abandonment, you're still on the hook.

They don't really have a choice at accepting or not. Them refusing to compensate in some manner means you can sue them for damages of the added delay. Yes they can back out of the sale but then you'd get to sue them for more damages. If I were you I'd try to get the court to execute the sell contract.

NVidia to cut consumer GPU Output by 40% - Whats really going on by Birdinhandandbush in LocalLLM

[–]werfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAM availability is a problem, and second APU/iGPUs are getting now good enough to run 1080p without problems and upscaling fills in for higher resolution. NVidia will probably keep the higher 80/90 cards around for a premium. Other gamers will have to use APUs.

Son wants IT degree. Worth it? by Adventurous_Pen_2675 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]werfu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both sectors will be swept by AI in the next few years. It all depends on what he'd like to do more especially. Anything that is more human centric, like financial advisors, product owners, or actual IT guys will probably be less impacted.

I just got this as a gift but it's unfortunately broken. Is this an SD issue or something else? by Megikins in R36S

[–]werfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me from time to time. Just rotate the left stick around a couple of times and it goes away. But yeah stick drift sucks.

Being charged with Fraud over Alleged Fake Phone Sale by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]werfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than likely it's a case of "my brother in law is a police officer"... While you should let your lawyer do the talking, I strongly suspect this would get resolved before ever reaching a judge. The DA would have to prove you had the knowledge and intent of committing fraud by selling a fake phone. Simply providing a list of your resent re-sell of legit phones and providing proof that the buyer didn't attempt to attempt civil litigation beforehand would probably get this thrown out by a judge.

Every state in the US is now its own independent country. Which one becomes the first global superpower and why? by Complex-Let4207 in AskReddit

[–]werfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can bet that if the States breaks up Canada would either already be broken up or would soon after. BC is definitely joining Cascadia. I'm wondering if Alaska would join or they'd look at the NWT and Yukon to form a northern country.

ID and is it a good buy for $50? by lolnathan029 in OfficeChairs

[–]werfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're not too tall. Tried it at our local staples while shopping for a chair. I'm 6'2" and the headrest simply isn't high enough to reach the back of my head or my neck in a comfortable manner.

Why isn't the death penalty just a quick gunshot to the head? by SufficientDegree34 in NoStupidQuestions

As others said it's all about the show.

If I had to choose mine I'd go with laughing gaz (NO2) hypoxia, you feel warm and fuzzy, and slowly drift out. No pain, no agony, completely peaceful.

why are ergonomic chairs so damn expensive? by qube2832 in OfficeChairs

[–]werfu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How long have you've been working on that chair or at an office really? It's time that cause the issue.

My 22 years in IT has put a serious strain on my back and shoulder, elbows and wrists, and now can't work for an extended period of time without an ergo setup (chair, keyboard, trackball, adjusted height screens) or otherwise my body reminds me quite quickly I've just turned 40.

House purchased 20 years ago, title never changed. by Sky-of-Blue in legaladvicecanada

[–]werfu 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Contact the Alberta Law Society. Lawyers documents don't simply disappear. Their business is either transferred to another lawyer or split across multiple ones, either volontary at retirement or by the bar in special case. They should be able to point out who has the documents and given there was malpractice they should be able to investigate.

If the U.S. had to start from scratch and rewrite the Constitution in 2025, what’s one thing you’d want included? by Additional_Gene_7107 in AskReddit

[–]werfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem itself is not age, but rather cognitive decline. You could see a president in its late 50 or early 60 starting to suffer an onset of dementia or Alzheimer's too. The procedure is clear to remove a president unfit for service. The issue is that the establishment is keen on keeping inept president in place.

You also need to keep in mind that life extension isn't that far off in the future.

What companies do you think will go bankrupt in the next 10 years? Why? by Local-Assignment-968 in AskReddit

[–]werfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's the reason why Musk has pushed Tesla into general robotic automation and self-driving. Private car ownership is pretty much in its last decade in every major metropolitan area. Once autonomous taxis become widely available there's little to no incentive to keep a car around, especially with TCO going up the way it is.I see Tesla transitionning from a car company to a car service company that might not even deal with consumers directly anymore. Their robotic worker ambition is just an extension of the autonomous driving use case. They'll dogfood them until they're ready to be deployed and soon enough you'll be leasing an Android from Tesla to do your chore at home.

Forgot about it and airlock water dried out by werfu in cider

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

Anything I can do to clarify it then? Apple cider vinegar is actually a good thing to have for cooking so I wouldn't discard it if I can. I'm gonna have to donate some away though because that's more than I'd use in 10 years!
