metaphor /mĕt′ə-fôr″, -fər/

A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol. The transference of the relation between one set of objects to another set for the purpose of brief explanation; a compressed simile; e. g., the ship plows the sea. 

Don’t try to tell me what I saw with my own eyes the other day. I’ve seen aurora before, plenty, but not like that.

Also my axe, additionally.

Don’t worry! I’m sure our habit of having amazing electoral foresight by voting in the Other Team when the Current Team upsets us too much won’t affect our future too much.

Especially since, right now, the Other Team is the business-friendly, tax-cutting-for-the-wealthy one. Once we elect them like the super geniuses we are, they will fix everything for us.

🤦 your reading comprehension “bro”

Yes it sure is! Just as easy as it is to not be a permanent cynic about fucking everything, because (and I speak from past experience I wish people would learn from here) that takes effort too.

Consider: the caloric energy expenditure in your pointless stating the obvious above, now multiply that by how often you do this. Carry the 2. Imagine using that on something productive! Think of the Bitcoin you could own!! All the energy needed for that Bitcoin’s gonna need at least 50 seconds of fusion.

And so: we’ve come full circle, as was prophesied.

God not this shit again.

You’d certainly have an adequate supply of nickel for the required metallurgy…

For me, personally, yep; 100%. I’ve tried at least 3 times to convert, it just gets in my way. I’m way way faster with plain old JS. But I’m also a Rubyist so it is all ducks anyway.

You sound successful enough and able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps down south, why not have a go at it and leave us to fester in our socialist hellhole?

4 years? You will not be so lucky if the choice is fascism.

Cool. We deserve to pay out the nose to wreck this place. It fucking should cost us.

Yeah. I mean good luck taking care of anyone including yourself in the dystopian hellscape wrought be late stage capitalism. It’s funny to be sure, but it’s part of an act. Taking care of each other requires an environment that isn’t toxic and bereft of food.

I’m feeling this. My day today was roont by plasma 6. I still can’t unlock any LUKS usb drives with dolphin.

Hmmm…

Looks like:

• AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
• on an Asus ROG STRIX B550-I
• 32GB DDR4 @ 2666
• 3070 RTX

Honestly, it’s possible that I just don’t notice low framerate as I’m a product of the Atari/NES gen of console gamers; my standards may be co-opted. I’m just reporting that my experience has been positive. Fair to say though that Wayland is still hit and miss, and still is. I general avoid it and stick to x while using steam, and tinker around with it when X’s idiosyncracies bother me enough. Nvidia in general just hasn’t picked my berries like it seems to have for others. Certainly not enough to ever make me retreat to a windows install 😁

Really? I’m having a very dissimilar experience, and am also on Manjaro. Drivers were a peach to install and I get at least as good as performance on windows…to the extent that the dual boot has (over the years) become just a single boot. I’m even running a valve index on it - Alyx runs smooth. Built in 2019.

TBH I’m surprised at a lot of these threads about Nvidia as it’s just been a few times that the drivers didn’t work out on an update and I had a black screen. But I’ve had almost as many breaking issues from non Nvidia related stuff in its lifetime.

For real. Every now and again I go back JUST for that passage. So so good.

BC! Vancouver Island specifically. It seems to fit my ethos and tendencies better here.

I know! That was the year I unfriended Jony Ive and he hasn’t been invited to my birthday since!

Diss me via computer peripheral? I say thee: nay!

Now with pumpkin spice melange!
