I dual boot, but I've been dreading booting back into Windows recently because I upgraded my motherboard/CPU and know they are going to make me buy another license. And I understand Windows is more convenient for a lot of people but I am not one of them.
I can't think of anything that is more convenient for me on Windows other than that I have to use it to run Studio One to record music from time to time. But "software availability" has nothing to do with the operating system itself; market position does. And a company's market position rarely drives my purchasing decisions.
I dislike Windows for all the reasons people here typically state.
I would guess it's set in the controller's firmware and can't be changed. D=
This is how I feel as a highly trained Sekiro beater when people say Shadow of the Erdtree is too hard.
I just saw their Big Time video! Glad those guys have the guts to do that.
If hallucinogens are illegal, the sovereignty of your mind has already been undermined =o
Beware that points like this suggest that messaging platforms should be monitoring all communications sent between users. If that's the world you want to live in, ok, fine... But in this case the guy that committed the crime is the one who has been punished. Isn't that the correct result?
Donut - how? All the giga-sponsors they take lately?
Brushless motors should be able to work even when under water. These must be some seriously shitty motors.
My wife asked me to help her with her Windows laptop one day. She was stuck at the bitlocker prompt and of course didn't remember enabling it or being given a password. I was like, WTF, they're just randomly turning this on by surprise now? LOL
Luckily she was able to eventually get it unlocked by calling MS support.
Remember how it took several years for EA to figure out how to let you put more than one item in your shopping cart? LOL
Huh. I didn't think to check this cause it's never worked for me... D=
The problem is they're already talking about needing trillions of dollars worth of hardware to make it happen. It's absurd.
All data centers use lots of water for cooling.
I think DFHack is able to export/import work order lists.
Things like this always make me think, ok, there are some hoodlums disturbing the peace and they are trying to crack down. But wait, isn't whatever crime they are committing already illegal? We already have laws in place so why bring e-bikes into this?

Jack Lafontaine made 35 saves to lead the Kansas City Mavericks to a 5-1 win over the Florida Everblades in Game 2 of the 2024 Kelly Cup Finals.
I went to this game last night and it was one of the best hockey games I've ever been to. The boys battled hard, especially during a crazy 2nd period.
Do a search for bash-it if you haven't found that already. It has a lot of built in easily modifiable themes as well as a bunch of other optional extensions.
Corpse/Refuse dump
This is the coolest corpse/refuse disposal system I've built yet. A couple stockpiles collect the garbage, and the mine cart pulls from those. When it's full, a citizen pushes it down the track to be dumped in a nearby lava lake!
steam-presence: A script that takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord
A script that takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord - JustTemmie/steam-presence
I just found this cool utility a couple days ago and have found that it's a great solution to sandboxed versions of Discord being unable to provide rich presence. It's a Python script that queries the Steam web API to get info to forward to Discord's API. The "installer" sets up a systemd service that will auto-run the script for you.
It requires you to get your own Steam API key which was a trivial, though slightly buggy, process for me. You can optionally use your own Discord app ID, or just use the one owned by the guy that created this script.
RIP James Randi
RIP James Randi who died before anyone could claim the his prize for playing RB1 over the board against Levy.
Newly built BKB Duo with custom battery
Sorry for the messy work bench but that's how it is with my DIY projects. 🙂 This is the Build Kit Boards Duo kit with a custom battery setup.
The battery enclosure is one from their site that is on fire sale due to being left over from their previous kit version. It doesn't exactly fit so I did a little work on it with a hacksaw. It is bound to the board via 8 thumb screws that attach to steel threaded inserts that I installed on the deck. I do have to remove all the screws to take the batteries out and charge them... I'd like to come up with a better solution but no good ideas so far.
For batteries I'm running three 5000mAh 4S LiPo batteries in series, so effectively a 12 cell. There is room in the enclosure for three more of these so I can have two 12 cell packs in parallel. I'm hoping for a 25 mile range from that setup.
I commuted to work on this this morning and had a blast! Electric skateboards kick ass.

This song popped up on Sirius XM this past weekend and I loved it. It's like a blend of Dimmu and Wilderun.
On the windswept plains of southwest Kansas, loneliness and isolation confirm policy failures
I’m saying goodbye to another set of friends who are leaving Dodge City and moving on to greener pastures outside of Kansas.
Anyone have Garuda experience?
I've been gaming on Kubuntu for over 2 years now but recently have been getting interested in Garuda. I've booted into the live Dragonized Gaming iso and was really impressed with the out of the box gaming-centric setup.
I've also been looking for more reasons to switch away from Ubuntu, and have been hit with the EOL countdown for plasma in 23.04, so the time is right for a distro hop. With the latest Garuda release they added an official Hyprland variant which looks really cool too.
Does anyone use Garuda? What are your impressions/thoughts/experiences? What should I expect from switching to an Arch base? Same questions for Hyprland too.
I have 16 gigs of ram, an Intel i7 something and an nVidia 2080.
Edit: I booted into the Hyprland live iso last night and I must say, Hyprland is cool af. Really a breath of fresh air and very intuitive. I'm going to run with the install this weekend.
Perseids meteor shower tonight
Anyone have any tips on good places to view this outside of the metro area? I live in Olathe and have tried the area around Hillsdale Lake before which was alright, but still had quite a bit of glow in the horizon.
Johnson county election today
Don't forget to vote in these elections today! Local elections are where your votes carry the most power!
Citizen 7875-H04945
Inherited from my Opa whose memorial service I'm attending today. Has kind of an old man vibe to it, but I think it looks really sharp.
It was absolutely filthy when I got it. I spent about two hours de-gunking it, and what I assume is gold plating on the bracelet has almost entirely worn off. But I've enjoyed wearing it the last couple days. 🙂
Who has the most poorly maintained highways?
I nominate I-80 in Illinois or I-70 in eastern Colorado. Crossing the border from Kansas to Colorado is like "holy f- OW I BIT MY TONGUE"
Life changing oil with a Fumoto valve
Installed this valve the very first time I changed my oil. It makes it so easy. And when I buy new oil filters the guys at the auto shop give me wild looks when I tell them I don't need the crush washer. :D
Kaw Point on July 4th
Went on a bike ride around the city with some folks yesterday. This is one of a few pics I took along the way. It was a great day to ride, if a little hot.
Cool feature at airport parking garage
Went to the new terminal for the second time today and parked in short term parking. There are lights in each row that indicate where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!
Cool feature at airport garage
2nd time visiting the new terminal today and we parked in short term parking. The garage has indicators in every row that show you where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!
