burn the system down

My takeaway at least.

It’s like trying to hold water in your hands.

The tighter you squeeze, the quicker it’s gone.

Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…

I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.

I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I’m willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.

However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I’m not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.

From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you’re doing.

I’m sure I’m overestimating the learning curve but it’s still intimidating.

This absolutely reeks of someone paying for a story to drive support to more heavily regulate ebikes

My ebike is heavy as shit (60-80lbs depending on the gear that’s on it) and geared for mountain biking. I’ve had it die in the middle of a valley. I’ve had it die 60 miles from home on an admittedly much flatter trail. I’ve had ittrip the safety overheat while going uphill.

I’ve never not been able to pedal.

Unless the chain breaks (and even then, I have a chain tool and have cut out all my gears to make it single speed in an emergency before) Walking it may be less tiring minute-to-minute, but you’ll regret not having the speed of the bike.

Also, protip: if you think you might need more than 30-60 miles of assistance, get a second battery if you don’t think you can pedal it.

Also, my requirement for calling something an ebike is the ability to y’know… Be a bicycle. Otherwise it’s an electric scooter/motorcycle depending on motor power. So if it’s one of those, then sure you have to push it. But that’s on you for not having a backup power plan. I’ve never met a dirt biker in the middle of nowhere that didn’t have a gas can somewhere on the bike.

Can’t wait until they get declared domestic terrorists and alphabet squadded.

Just ask Reagan how Republicans feel about armed minorities.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Ah. Presumably these were lost in some other conflict, probably against other humans. We don’t know of any OTHER Aliens, and since the war hasn’t started yet we don’t know one way or another.

If by “previous marines” you mean the news report at the beginning of the movie?

That’s the invasion of Klendathu that Rico goes on after BA gets hit. We even see the reporter giving the report from a different angle later in the movie.

They knew OF the bugs before then, and although intent seemed clear, I don’t believe they were at war before Buenos Aires.

It was definitely the attack that sparked the invasion and made Rico and friends give it 100% since their home was destroyed. Gotta get payback for that.

Ah, insecurity and overcompensation, what would we do without you…

Fellas, is it gay to be comfortable while cycling? My wife will be devastated.

Not only are they not the good guys, the military started a fight where none existed in order to justify its existence.

Buenos Aires was 100% a false flag, there’s 0 chance bugs in any system other than this one could have, in less than ten thousand years, encountered humanity and started lobbing asteroids at them.

Even if they had the knowledge of where humanity is from, and the ability to target asteroids in order to reroute them, they simply don’t have the technology to speed an asteroid enough to be a threat to another planetary system.

The military hauled an asteroid to hit a human population center. 100%.

He wasn’t willing to do the things that need to be done to save the biosphere for as many creatures as possible.

Honestly I keep forgetting the Imperium supposedly controls over 1 million worlds.

They really do have a problem with scope.

Space marines are bad ass in a fight but there’s only 1000 per chapter if they’re adhering to the codex, but that’s nowhere near enough for an entire galaxy.

I believe it. The first hit of my thc pen makes my hands stop shaking, any relaxant is bound to make your aim steadier in just the right amount.

Still won’t ever see me shooting when alcohol is present.

You know what, you’re right.

Necrons Best Faction.

They just got woken up by a bunch of kids on their lawn.

They’re justified.

Given the time it was created, that’s not surprising.

Also a good time to remind everyone that thatcher’s grave is a gender neutral bathroom.

That’s crazy to me. Why would anyone want to be consuming alcohol while shooting?

I know how I am when I smoke, and there’s no chance I’d trust handling a firearm. Not because I’m violent or anything when bake (lol who is) but because my reasoning and decision making skills are impaired, maybe I mistake something for something else in a tense moment and something bad happens. Nope. Safe stays locked, and the door to their room gets locked and the key given to someone responsible, or put in the coffee tin. (I don’t like coffee and baked me steers clear of it, so I figure it’s better to be in there behind several obstructions)

I really do, and I would love to move to a different country.

However, I have no college degree, and no work experience beyond retail/food/3rd-party-labor, and about $200 to my name. Maybe $3000 if I sold all my big stuff, including vehicle.

So the chances of me moving without being a political refugee are low, sadly.

they are all also cool

looks at nurgle

Uhhhhhh I’m not so sure about that one.

But hey, if you want papa nurgle’s blessing, go for it.

While the runners these days may not have any kind of satire in mind, it’s pretty obvious a large portion of the Imperium is based on a mixture of 1940s German and (80s-now) modern American ideals, as well as capitalism in general. The Eldar are arrogant isolationists and the dark Eldar are gluttonous.

Most of 40k can have parallels drawn to modern society and the dials are all set to overload.

While they may not have a direct point, I do think it still can have a message.

“don’t be like this”

Too bad we are failing…
