Probably, the only defense lawyer most people could name off the top of their head is Johnnie Cochran.

You can definitely support more pixels than 1080p, even at 165hz. My kid has a 6700 xt and I’m constantly impressed with it at 2k 165. Worst case you can run at 1080 and upscale.

I personally (I’m sure others will disagree) would recommend skipping Manjaro and maybe Pop.

If you want to try Arch based pick Endeavor instead of Manjaro.

It seems like new folks have a lot of trouble with Pop to me. Out of the Ubuntu-based side I’d choose Mint over the rest.

Also don’t discount base Debian, people sneer at it because of the speed of the update cycle but the other side of that is it being the least likely to blow up on a new user.

Full disclosure: My devices are currently split between endeavor and Debian, depending on my tolerance for things breaking. I know fuck all about Bazzite/Nobara/Fedora.

I believe there is an automod that removes an archaic, but still occasionally properly used, term for a female dog and a couple other terms. Seems to be mostly a set of words whose common usage has its roots in bigotry.

I had an intro to sociology prof spend an entire lecture on full blown anti vax conspiracy shit.

Also had a bio prof take 5 during an anatomy lecture to give a teary eyed plea for the young women in class to not ruin one of the ‘fundamental joys of motherhood’ by getting their nipples pierced.

Wage workers fill out a form with their employer called a W-4 that lets the employer determine the appropriate amount to deduct in tax and pay to the IRS for you.

Many people have additional sources of income though, some of which will pay tax for you, some of which do not. Each Year when you ‘file’ your taxes you gather all that information together and pay any outstanding balance. (or receive a refund for overpayment). The form is called a 1040 and comes with a workbook that walks you through everything. It includes very large tables where you can look up the tax amount to avoid having to calculate it as well. If your tax situation is fairly straightward an eighth grader could probably do it.

I see them fine, firefox on android and arch.

I reckon, given the extent of voluntary submission to constant surveilance from corporations and the continued march deeper into oligarchy, that it’s only a matter of time until platforms that aren’t explicitly anti-privacy are going to be reframed as extremist and dangerous as a part of the global political conversation. Perhaps this will end up being the leading edge of that.

Posts like this are what give Trump credibility among the people who want to believe. You’re validating his complaints about persecution and fake news by stretching the truth well beyond breaking. Even in his typically incoherent state it’s clear enough that he’s talking about his opposition in 2020.

And worse, you’re doing it for no reason. The guy does more than enough damnable, vile shit without needing any of this. Stop it.

Not enough foil, maybe add a couple old cds.

Yeah, I don’t really like sitting behind them either. We just got a new car and while it isn’t that tall, the lights are just so fucking bright it’s unreal. I find it harder to see at night, at least beyond the zone of my headlights, because it’s so bright my eyes don’t adjust as much. In addition every time hit a bump or crest a hill people act like I’m high-beaming them. I get the frustration dude, but they’re already over-adjusted down, what else am I supposed to do?

Fair enough. Not temps then.

It would not surprise me in the least to find out a big heatmonster like those X3D chips will hit throttling temps at idle if the CPU fans stop spinning. Probably within seconds of booting. Can you check the actual clock speeds of the cores at idle/load? See if you’re geting anywhere close to your 5.whatever ghz.

This one, any mention of temps is conspicuously absent. OP should check them immediately.

and there’s always weird ass bugs and issues and a ton of involuntary learning involved

The issue is not that Linux is more or less buggy/difficult than Windows. It’s that you’re conditioned to already understand Windows’ bugginess/difficulty. I dual-booted for some of xp, all of 7 and much of 10. I found once I got comfortable enough with both, there were perhaps slighly fewer deep problems on Windows, but they were always much more difficult to rectify.

But I understand if you don’t want to take the time to get to that point, learning isn’t for everyone.

It’s my understanding that this would be a pretty low bar to clear.

My favorite implication of these kinds of posts is that windows somehow doesn’t ever have driver issues.

Special thanks to Microsoft for going out of their way to help make this possible

What’s happening here is single sentence from the conclusion of paper with the explanation and caveats removed is being cherry picked by another author who then uses it to pretend it means what he thinks it means and make spurious arguments. Pointing at the paper and exclaiming “Science!” isn’t a defense. The paper posits human anatomy and physiology that does not exist to reach their speed. It’s scarcely different than referencing a paper pointing out humans would swim faster if only they had flippers.

The claim that humanity with all the money, medicine, science, and effort placed into recruiting and training world class sprinters has only managed to achieve less than 70% of the potential top speed for a human and that someone could pop up in the next couple decades that could drop the world record by more than it has moved in the last century in one fell swoop is not plausible. Sprinting is too close to raw power output for this kind record movement and if your analysis says that it is then you need to go back to the drawing board.
