Gamers will then continue to ignore AMD and Intel and bitch about no Ngidia stock and inflated prices, just as they always have

ICE just claimed he was an illegal immigrant.

A bit too convenient for me, I have a feeling this is going to be the “no more rights” catalyst. It lines up too well. Muslim brown dude, illegal immigrant, anti-Israel. Everything that Nazis absolutely salivate over. And every news blsst had a huge explicit expose on every one of these things like 2 hours after the event, that never happens.

Critical mistake. Never get between a university’s administration and a pile of cash. That’s how you learn that students have zero rights real quick.

Reminder that all insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums, NOT paying out insurance claims.

“When you’re a star they let you do it, they let you do anything”

The problem is you can’t get rid of nickles without getting rid of either quarters or dimes too. Without nickles you would have a denomination (25c) that has no way to be made by lower coins (10c dimes can’t equal 25c). So you either need to get rid of every coin, every coin except the quarter, or nuke the quarter and nickle concurrently and only use dimes, forcing prices to be multiples of 10.

Trump about to tear up his UK trade deal I bet

Worth mentioning that Sudan and Putin’s Russia are very very close friends, who have only strengthened their economic and military ties since 2022.

I give it a month before Trump deportees start magically teleporting from Sudan to Ukraine’s front lines on the side of Russia.

Ah yes the “think of the children to stop porn” act that’s actually just a way to legally silence huge swaths of the internet with automated tools. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/congress-passes-take-it-down-act-despite-major-flaws

you either die quickly from a gunshot, and take some nazi’s out with you; or you get shipped to el salvador and die a slow death of disease and malnutrition, forgotten forever.

This immediately makes me think this is a plot to make “anti-natalism” considered terrorism. Not a single person I know of who is against having kids is radical about it, but oh man are the pro birth weird Christians sure radical about it.

Idk man my liberal woman is super beautiful, skill issue ig?

but in exchange, they’re going to provide information money

That depends entirely on how profitable it is and how much they can get authors onboard.

A. Anything can be profitable when the cost to generation will be counted in singles of dollars instead of multiple thousands for a good narrator. They don’t even have to sell many to turn a profit too.

B. You think authors are going to have a choice? Lmfao. It’s the publishers that hold any real power and they will jump all over everyone’s IP with AI slop to make an extra three cents.

At this point my retirement plan is “eaten by starving cannibals in a Falloutverse story”, or “9mm”

Adapter or caddy is fine. Can get them on most shopping sites for cheap.

IIRC from my old office PC slinging days, a lot of those cases with 5-1/4 bays usually had slots for mounting screws that would allow you to mount a 3.5 drive flush to one sideusijg 2 screws. Then you get 1-3/4" 6-32 screw stand offs, thread it into the drive, and use that to mount it to the other side of the 5-1/4 bay.

Did that a lot to really old reused cases where there were a ton of 5-1/4 bays but only one 3.5 bay.

Holy shit this might actually be the reason.

Insanity

Trades or service workers live outside the area and commute or cram in 8 to a house. My uncle was driving 3 to 5 hours one way doing heavy equipment at one point before he bailed out of the area. Everyone who works in San Fran/San Jose drives in from Pleasanton, Livermore, shit as far out as Tracy and Stockton, and turn the entire 580 into a 24 hour a day clusterfuck.

How the bay area hasn’t collapsed in on itself is insane to me.

One of the gates to getting a patent approved is proving that you are attempting to patent it in a timely manner. You’re supposed to file a patent within one year of first public disclosure to prove that you’re actively protecting your IP and plan to develop it, and if you don’t it’s grounds for denial.

Palworld alone has been out over a year now, let alone how long most of the Pokemon stuff Nintendo has been patenting. Nintendo has zero grounds for applying these patents, and the fact that they are able to obtain them just because they have more lawyer money means the patent system is completely pointless and laws don’t matter.

So, if you have enough money, you can just fire off a shitload of ex-post-facto patents after a competitor releases a prior-art product, sue them, and win using patents that didn’t exist when the competitor’s product was created???

Might as well just close the whole patent system and leave, there’s quite literally no point to obeying it if you can so blatantly steal anything and everything.
