Men and women means people whose self-perceived gender identity is man or woman.
Male and female means people who got the genetic setup of a male or female.
The latter excludes males who identify as women and includes females who identify as men (a risk I was willing to take).
The movies of the 70s are more a product of LSD than cocaine. And Zardoz is definitely one of the movies worth watching.
This basically is the stereotype I am coming from. So far, the answers don’t contradict it.
Still Pervitin®. It was good enough for the Blitzkrieg. It will be good enough for the revolution.

Pervitin® is better for boring housework.
The cultural impact is to prove that setting a new bar for mind-blowing gorgeous CGI was still possible a decade after Babylon 5. The Way of Water repeated that incredible feat.
I didn’t watch that Fire And Ash yet; so don’t know whether it further ruins every single other modern movie further or just keeps them disappointing by reinforcing standards which seemingly no one else is willing to consider.
James Cameron proved that there is a massive market for movies without witty punchlines and convoluted plots which require one to have the booklet (or nowadays phone) at hand to read along like when going to the opera.
He took the most overused classic western plot and made it work great on the big screen for a heterogenous global audience. He didn’t need any well-established franchise to back his adaptation of “White men invade land of natives; all hope is lost. But then one of the whites turns out to be the savior and helps the natives to repel the invasion.”
It was refreshing to watch a movie that let me pick a side without coming up with some forced gotcha-everything-is-morally-gray bullshit. That shit even infested the comic adaptations by now.
The plot couldn’t be more bland. The characters couldn’t be more forgettable. The movies still are masterpieces regardless. Yes, I cringed at some points. But overall, they were a great experience. And yes, I also like Western.
Btw, Papyrus is a fitting choice for the title font.
Did he use that filter purely for anonymity? He looks better without it.
The lower the mass sits, the better the truck handles.
If you have something heavy (like a battery pack) which you need to include in the design somewhere, putting it as low to the ground as safely possible is the right choice. So that’s not a stupid decision at all. It’s what literally all EV makers do because it’s objectively the right way to place the battery pack.
Watching that clip, I don’t see the typical signs of a battery fire. So I guess, wade mode did in fact keep the battery dry. Wading through a stream reaching to the top of the wheels would probably work fine. But if you stay in the water, it eventually gets through to some electronics and power is cut off by the overcurrent protection. So just don’t do that.
Obviously, wading ain’t swimming. The mode is probably useful in some edge cases. Driving straight into a lake just isn’t one of them.
Depends on the environment. When camping, in a tent without a floor, putting on each shoe right after the sock allows parking the shoed foot on the dirt while putting on the next sock and shoe.
But putting on both socks and then putting on both shoes is the default.
I got app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin from the kzd overlay. The overlay is in the eselect repository list.
Optical audio is somewhat an abandoned standard. The copper port is as good. And professionals use external devices connected to USB and synced in their digital audio workstation software now.
USB-C gets somewhat more frequent now. But USB-A is the mechanically superior standard for sort-of fixed installation (like on the back of a PC). And if you have a USB-C device, chances are, you also have an adapter already.
Thunderbolt is pretty niche. It’s more a mac thing. It’s nice to have - but 99.9% of the users don’t have any matching devices and routing those PCIe lanes to a PCIe slot is better.
It is somewhat a hot take - I know. But if you really use the 2.5 G Ethernet, you probably want 10 G anyway. So just go for a board with that or add it via PCIe card.
For stereo, TOSLINK is fine. But so is the copper port right next to it. I removed it because it’s basically unused fluff for more than 99.9% of all users. I used that port (on a dedicated sound card) once to connect a DTS 5.1 active speaker system (marketed at gamers like me) back in the 00s. It doesn’t really have enough bandwidth for 5.1. But I’m no audiophile, so it was fine. Thing is: Just plugging in the copper cables works as well and provides the full bandwidth.\
And motherboard-integrated DACs are pretty good now. Even audiophiles can’t hear the improvement in stereo in blind tests (they probably can hear copper sounding better in 5.1 though).
It’s basically the Betamax of audio connection standards. Technically better, but market adoption is negligible.
If you actually need a car, this one is the most important cost saving measure:
Actually:
The on-board video ports are for emergencies when your actual GPU isn’t working. One of each type is plenty.
That 2.5 Gb Ethernet isn’t giving me any actual benefits in practice as no other component in the network supports it anyway. If you need more speed, go all the way to 10 Gb.
No one really has toslink equipment anymore and the optical standard on that connector is shit anyway. You literally get better audio from the analog ports.
Get rid of the fancy special USB ports as well as the legacy low-speed ports. Just give only the normal super-speed ports which always work well without odd hardware quirks or driver issues. And 4 are actually plenty. I connect at least one hub anyway.
Also don’t waste precious PCIe lanes for useless bling like six SATA ports, multiple NICs, or Wireless. Just route the unused PCIe lanes to the PCIe slots. Maybe I want to add an AI accelerator later.
Yeah, Gentoo isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
And don’t worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It’s all about choice after all…
Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.
It’s called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it’s not knowledge.
Always keep in mind that your own state is almost always the group of actors having the most power over you. They are the ones who can hurt you or just make you jump though an infinite amount of hoops without any fear of consequence.
Normal people really can just ignore everyone who is or comes after “Hackers”. Focus on your own government. That’s where the real risks are.
