Community mourns loss of beloved landlord allegedly murdered over rent
  • Ice cold take: if you got murdered over rent, you were not beloved.

  • Suspect in shootings of Democratic office in Arizona had over 200 guns in his home, officials say
  • I think we gotta redistribute the guns. Everyone in America should have 1.2 guns.

  • The idea that the allies would have won operation unthinkable is fucking insane to me
  • Man, I wish they would have tried.

    General Patton having his "oh shit" moment hunkered down in Paris at 2 am before the partisans shot him.

    The KPRA helping General MacArthur do his best no-fash impression.

    The shocking realizations among the Western Allies that their local fifth columns are a lot larger, better armed, and dedicated than they had anticipated.

    A Pyrrhic victory would look much more like a loss than they ever could have anticipated. The British had an entire empire to lose and they absolutely would have. Nuking Moscow would have been impossible, nuking Paris or Berlin would only have led to a more unilateral opposition from the rest of the world as this became a global war of class struggle.

  • America has fallen, billions must fry.
  • Yeah, sure. "The deal is too good! We're goin' out of business!" C'mon Mr. Krabs, we're not falling for this shit or Red Lobster's.

  • Picture, if you will:
  • Unbelievably good post.

  • horror game protagonists
  • This is also basically every straight couple.

  • bro, if i was there, things would have gone differently dude
  • "Bro wait, he died? If I was there, I'd have eaten so many hot dogs they'd have to let him go!"

  • is it me or is this a little bit insulting
  • $20,000 of reparations in the form of a PPP-style loan that can only be used by business owners to invest in crypto.

  • Kamala Harris dips in key states, making US election contest a toss-up
  • I dunno about that. The Republican Party is a political cockroach. It's unkillable. Every time they're cooked, they just survive inexplicably.

    [not vegan] Have you ever eaten a bug?
  • Crickets are fine. Also just accidentally caught a fly in my throat the other day while cycling. That was less fine.

  • But at what cost?
  • actually, I believe you'll find it's stadia, not "stadiums," NYT.

  • What's one thing I can get/do to make my first "adult" apartment a bit nicer?
  • Space Heater

    Try a heated blanket. You can warm yourself directly, without having to heat the whole room.

  • Something about the diminishing returns of continually jangling the old "get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness" bazinga keys makes me feel almost sorry for both of them.
  • Does anyone really even believe this dude isn't on a downward trajectory? I don't think anyone's going to be hitting the trillionaire threshold any time soon.

    These dudes have spent 50-60 years getting a quarter of the way there. It's not fuckin' happening, dawg.

  • How many of you with student loans are actually repaying them?
  • Disabled chapos can get a doctor to help them fill out a TPD Discharge form and try to get the loan discharged.

  • Can anyone recommend an actually good 3d printer?

    It seems like they're all really expensive, with most halfway decent ones being over $1000. It also seems like they're really finicky and hard to get working consistently.

    Are there any 3d printers that are actually a refined product, something you can just get and start using? I don't want to spend most of my time fiddling with the settings and having to buy a ton of upgrades in the hopes of getting it to be a functional machine that can actually be used to print out parts.

    If there are any out there that are basically self-maintaining or highly automated in terms of configuring themselves correctly, is it only the really expensive ones, or are there more affordable sort of "get and forget" printers that you can just set up and start using?

    Why has nobody ever made a vertical gaming mouse?

    Consider the RSI-prone gamer. I would like to have healthy hands and wrists in older age and still use the computer.

    Mechanical keyboard and mouse recommendations?

    Looking for a matching set (brand/aesthetic wise) of a mechanical keyboard and mouse for gaming that:

    • Isn't super tacky or coated in branding

    • Has a detachable usb c cable (sick of mini-usb and I will never be okay with a fixed cable on a keyboard)

    • Has build quality that's actually halfway decent

    • Isn't ludicrously expensive

    • Is compatible with something like Artemis RGB or Aurora RGB for aRGB game integration (my little crow brain likes when the blinky gamer lights change colors when I reload and stuff in games)

    I don't know if I'm just bad at researching this sort of thing but it really seems like all the options out there only meet one or two of these requirements at best. Is this just the state of the market when it comes to these things? Do I need to build a custom keyboard?

    The stupid "AI pin" is exploding in the charging case
    techcrunch.com Humane urges customers to stop using charging case, citing battery fire concerns | TechCrunch

    The warning for the Ai Pin was issued “out of an abundance of caution,” according to Humane.

    Humane urges customers to stop using charging case, citing battery fire concerns | TechCrunch

    They're not even doing refunds or recalls, they're just giving people 2 free months of the subscription and telling them to only charge the device and the hotswap add-on batteries with the home charger.

    This piece of shit has a 4 hour standby time if you're not using the case to recharge the batteries. Literally unusable.

    Is the gambler 500 dead now?

    Seriously, I've spent like an hour searching and there appear to be absolutely no used cars in the US or Canada priced at or under $500. In fact, they're not even really close. I can only find a handful of cars under $1000, and they all seem to be parts cars that have major issues that are insurmountable for all but experienced mechanics who happen to have a spare engine laying around.

    Am I just searching in the wrong places or what? Where have all the cheap-ass cars gone in this car-mandatory society?

    Shin Megami Tensei games look like those bad fake games that TV characters play when the script has them playing "a generic video game"

    Saw some gameplay from SMT3 and SMT5 and they look like the most generic video game of all time. Why do people care about these.

    Can I put an OLED panel in my Thinkpad p50?

    My Thinkpad p50 came stock with a terrible BOE display that I despise, the colours are awful and the backlight is worse. I know you can swap it out for less crappy displays, I'm just wondering if there's any reason that this Samsung OLED panel (the only one I could find on panelook with the seemingly correct specs) wouldn't work. If anyone could double check this before I blow like $250CAD on a display that'd be super.
