So you’re saying if I can last 10 seconds, that’s over a minute?!

Achievement, unlocked.

Is this on pay per view?

No it’s just to run a single proprietary software for some old hardware at my job. It won’t even be connected to the Internet. After trying for a couple of hours I had it set up and working on Win 10 in about 20 mins including the windows install.

My job has some old equipment that has proprietary software that I can’t get to run on Linux. It’s literally the only thing I need that tower to run. It’s a 2nd gen i5. It runs Windows 10 acceptablyfrom a small SSD. It won’t even be connected to the internet.

I sometimes do. But I’d point a gun back and say, make the penguin run this software in a way that doesn’t require a power user or take a newbie three fucking weeks.

I use Linux a lot and have about ten PCs running it so far, but I literally just installed Windows 10 on a shitbox that will very rarely be online because it was my best option for the software and respecting my time. I don’t work in IT. I run a small nonprofit and I used to build and upgrade/repair PCs as a side gig.

It’s like giving away some scratchers as a consolation prize but the guy in 5th hits a million dollar jackpot

The only problem is when we define everyone who disagrees with us as a fascist. I won’t go hunting authoritarians but if they bring a fight, I’m ready to finish it. That includes authoritarian fascists and leftists, because I’m not on board with either.

Fuck Reddit but this place is far from a bastion of free sharing of ideas. Honestly fuck Lemmy too.

The purple version was the best. Mine from 1999 has had the most use and still works the best. I’ve bought new aftermarket controllers but none stand up to the old translucent purple.

What is an assault rifle? I don’t think what non-military civilians or police carry qualify. I know a few grandfathered fully automatic rifles are out there but they cost like $40k and they’re mostly in the hands of collectors. Most guns are semi auto and semi auto rifles are great for hunting things like wild boar.

I answer work messages before I go in so that I can give my wife my attention when I walk in the door. I used to do it in the driveway but now I do it in the parking lot of the shop around the corner.

I have at least 80 DIMMS of DDR3. Upgrading an old tower this morning.

My 4070ti isn’t as beefy but there’s still not a non-nvidia upgrade. And I am able to play most of my games at 4k / 120. I’d like to upgrade mine so I can give my card to my daughter and give her 3060ti to her brother who is currently running a 1060.

No, the angel was telling her what was going to happen. It was speaking in future tense, and she agreed while talking to the angel.

34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

I remember that one too. What a world.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

It’s in Luke chapter 1. I mean a lot of people believe believe none of it happened, whatever. But consent was part of the account.

She did consent though. It’s in the account.

She was called a woman by her cousin who was so old that John the Baptist’s birth was miraculous. She could have been older, not all women married young. But to be considered a woman she wouldn’t have been 13.

Old enough to be considered a woman, but culturally it could have been as young as 16.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! (Luke 1:41-42)

A lot of appliances could still be viable, but the best refrigerants are all banned. The modern ones supposedly are better for greenhouse effect, but they actively corrode parts of their closed systems, leading to consistent early part failures.
