Lighten up, Francis.

Americans Conservatives

If your grandmother dies at age 102, Fox news would blame it on immigrants, somehow.

There was a post about an older dude that went camping with his girlfriend and popped an ol’ blue to get freaky. They wrapped up and fell asleep, but the dude woke up 4 hours in excruciating pain - his erection had never gone down. They rushed down the mountain to the hospital, another two hours later… ER docs told him it was too late, amputation time.

So it’s always a good idea to stay awake long enough to flush the pipes with a good piss to avoid a uti, the story just reinforced that notion for me about 1000% more.

Pffft, bush league. The Titan has been submerged for checks watch 272 days with no end in sight.

Checkmate. We’re watching you.

Yeah some kind of fucky configuration.

The root is:

http://archive.ubuntu.com

Which, if the ubuntu link is clicked, then drops you into the the real archive root… but the link is “appended” to the new path, but the same link is reproduced in the “new” folder. Click it again, and another segment added to your current path even though you’re in the same root archive, ad nauseam.

I couldn’t find this misconfiguration on stackoverflow, which leads me to believe someone at ubuntu is doing something especially special here.

Intact? And if not, is there a lot of smacking involved?

My ultra religious father made me throw out a kid’s magic trick prize from a breakfast cereal box when I was a kid. He told me knew it wasn’t gambling (it had three loose playing cards), but we needed to avoid the appearance of evil.

Wouldn’t surprise me if some fundie reported the game under similar pretenses.

“Could not fetch embedded watch page”

This does not look like a look like Java Runtime Environment.

I    don’t    use    an    ide,    but    I    wrote    a    script    that    replaces    any    space    I    type    with    four.

I    haven’t    worked    out    all    the    use    cases    yet,    though.

You guys are cracking me up lol

Yeah as a composition the symmetry is off as the subject and the curtain forming a V doesn’t quite Oh shit is that hitler?!

I don’t see the down side

Being able to draw talent in.

As a dev myself, a short term contract would have to be pretty favorable for me to consider it.

If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless you return it to its rightful owner in the same year.

Lesson learned. Steal on Jan 1st 00:01, return to owner on Dec 31st 23:59, rinse repeat.

Some thoughts:

Ubuntu, most likely

I’d encourage you to take a look at Linux Mint, it alleviates some of the Ubuntu fuckiness. And if you want to join the “I use arch btw” crowd, maybe checkout EndeavourOS if you’re feeling more brave than just Ubuntu variants (which is built on arch, but makes barrier to entry a little easier).

i9s are the latest hotness but don’t think the price is worth it

Take a look at last generation to soften the blow to your wallet. E.g., instead of looking at a 14900k, look at 13 or even 12 series. In fact, this is a useful strategy all around if you’re being price conscious: go one gen older.

GPU that can support some sort of ML/AI with DisplayPort

Probably going to want to go with a discrete card, rather than just integrated. Other major consideration is going to be nvidia vs AMD, for which you’ll need to decide if CUDA should be part of your calculus or not. I’ll defer to any data science engineers that might wander through this post.

The rest of your reqs pretty much come as regular stock options when building a pc these days. Though another nicety for my latest builds, is multi-gig nics (though 2.5Gb was my ceiling, since you’ll also need the network gear to utilize it). Going multi-gig is nice for pushing around a fuckton of data between machines on my lan (including a NAS).

Very last thing that I’ve found helpful in my last 3 builds spanning 15 years: I use newegg for its reviews of items, specifically so I can search for the term “linux” in any given product’s reviews. Often times I can glean quick insight on how friendly (or not) hardware has been for other’s linux builds.

And I lied, I just remembered about another linux hardware resource: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search

You can see other people that have built with given hardware. Just remember to do a scan too once your build is up to pay it forward.

Good luck, and remember to have fun!

every generation thinks they’re the last ans that everything is about to go to shit. In the end that never really happens

About 3.76% of the worlds population died due to WWII, or about 300MM people if scaled to today. For those people, the end really did happen.

With NATO being threatened by a malicious US presidential candidate, along with Putin getting express approval to go ape by the same, I’m actually quite worried WWIII is more possible than ever in my adult life (I was only a child during the cold war).
