I get it. I had been messing with computers for years by the time I had a typing class. I was very fast with the method I came up with, and I tried home row. I ended up combining bastardized home row and my homebrew method and got even faster.
You’re assuming I’m a Democrat or a liberal. I am neither. I am a leftist. Currently democratic socialist, but could go over to full socialist if that works well. Then I could move on to anarchist if socialism works well.
I shouldn’t have said that. You’re right. It just boiled me when I got to the point where they’re thinking these evil people are going to hell. Believing in afterlife punishment or reward causes people to ignore the reality of life. I feel the same about the ridiculous concept of karma.
I didn’t downvote you, that was someone else.
I’ll keep this in mind, but that onboard RJ45 is doing great.
Good work. I’m not cut out for parenting and I don’t want to bring kids into this world anyway. I love my niblings but I get to give them back.
It sounds like you’re doing great with yours. Good luck. 🤙
It has happened here I’m afraid. Listen to this poster. Get armed and train. Take classes. If you’re in a big city there’s probably a SRA group to train with. If you’re not, like me, you’re probably going to be dealing with Trump people at the range. Just wear plain clothes and don’t talk politics. You don’t even have to lie, just say you didn’t like either of them.
The code word I learned from Behind the Bastards is municipal libertarian. It basically means anarchist, but the Trump people love the word libertarian and assume you’re somewhat on their side.
Oh! And you can get wound vac supplies for a little bit of money to put in your kit. You could save the life of someone hit by a bullet.
We assume they’re both having sex, so my wife got them five boxes of plan B before that becomes illegal. I also slipped condoms into his backpack just like I did with his older brother at that age. No pregnancies yet!
I did not. They are terrible with computers, especially the 15 year old boy. I debloated the computer I gave him less than a year ago. He downloaded so much malware and spyware. I got it all fixed up and he told me it wasn’t running games fast anymore since he switched bedrooms. I’m proud of him for setting it up again himself but he had the HDMI plugged into the onboard graphics instead of the GPU.
I acted like I didn’t see all the porn and deleted it from his history.
Yeah fuck cursive. Bury it in a dump and then set the dump on fire. My handwriting now is mostly regular, with cursive flourishes and joined letters here and there that I picked up. My handwriting is terrible for what that’s worth. I want to go fast like a keyboard and it ends up looking bad.
These kids are older, 21, 15, and 14. They’re such cool little shits. The younger two were stuck on Minecraft or specifically videos of adults playing Minecraft and screaming like fucking idiots. I’ll never understand the appeal.
The youngest, I taught to play Superhot with mouse and keyboard and she was a total natural at age 11. Jealous of that neuroplasticity for sure.
They used to beg to come stay with us on the weekend. I loved it, but many times we just didn’t have the energy after working all week, so we said no. Now they don’t want to hang out with us at all, which is sad. So it goes.
I use an in-house tool to connect to equipment over Ethernet for the company my company contracts for. Built in Ethernet is so good for it and getting very hard to find. When it was time for a new laptop my boss was able to find a decent one with built in Ethernet. I even offered to pay the difference in price.
I used two USB dongles in the past and it seems like they worked when they wanted to. It’s most likely a software issue because the in-house tool is garbage.
Has the keyboard and mouse versus controller argument finally died? I mean I use a controller for things like Elden Ring and keyboard and mouse for first person or tactics/strategy games.
We proved twenty years ago that keyboard and mouse was better for first person gaming and I was still hearing arguments that controllers were better five years ago.
That’s great. It seems like Gen Z didn’t learn typing. Maybe I’m over generalizing, but my three niblings can’t type for shit. The only things they know about computers are what I’ve taught them and then what they learned outside of school using the computers their mom and I got them.
Lowest common denominator interface is definitely touch screen, then maybe game controllers but I love those for some games.
Edit - TV remotes!
I do love both those things.
You put so much work into this post but it is hopelessly naive. Most people are just downvoting but I’ll break it down.
Let’s say the “Bavarians” from your example win the lottery. Who is a Bavarian? How many generations of Bavarians back of both parents being Bavarians do we go? It’s ridiculous.
If you include immigrants to Bavaria, we go right back to skin color racism, so you need “pure bloods”. What about the family that moved to Bavaria in 1879 from Congo?
We are a global society whether we like it or not, and “simple” things like electricity and home water access will definitely stop if 90%+ of the population of earth is eliminated.
You seem to be speaking under the assumption that we will become a spacefaring species, colonizing planets. This is highly dubious with current and predicted technology. If you eliminate most people, do you think this could possibly happen? I personally don’t think it will ever happen.
Oh you’re religious. Nevermind. No point in discussion of the future when you believe there is a dimension we magically travel to when we die.
Thank you for voting. Please continue to vote if we have the option of true elections in the future.
I was on copium for a while, now that I’m clean I just deal with life using regular drugs.
Yeah I want to cash in like I did during the pandemic (and lost because I expected a W and we got a V). But I’m more concerned this time the dipshit in chief is going to flip the casino. When do we totally cash out?
I just learned about the setting in this post and I’m happy to have it. My work truck doesn’t have Bluetooth so I have a really shitty Bluetooth to radio converter. It’s often way too quiet.
