What can I say, your stance on mammary glands, while not controversial, per se, might be a little too racy for some voters.
Yeah, but Trump doesn't have the lobes for it, either.
O Captain, my Captain! The Starfleet officer so awesome his story arc could only end in ascension to a higher plane!
The show with the best hero name ever: Stringfellow Hawke. Player by a guy with a name just as cool: Jan-Michael Vincent.
I was a kid, so I didn't remember much about the show other than me thinking Airwolf would beat the crap out of Blue Thunder.
Yeah, I'm just being old and yelling at the kids on my lawn, honestly. It's not like half the "real" tanks on this game ever got past blueprints, to be fair.
Can we maybe get a mode where nonsense made-up fantasy tanks (I'm looking at you, 40K event tanks!) are not allowed?
Okay, then. So why is this a problem? What's the demographic breakdown of that total? You mentioned Hindus specifically, but what percentage of that total are Hindu? Why are Hindus problematic? Are there other groups that trouble you? Who are they, and why are they a problem? Are the groups that concern you monolithic and homogenous, or is it a subset of those groups that you see as a problem?
To be fair, I think replacement theory is nonsense, but I want to get down to the fundamentals of why you appear to think it's valid.
The article is about the USA. At the point I commented, I didn't see anything to indicate anyone was talking about Canada. Regardless, someone has challenged your assertion further down the thread in the Canadian context.
Well, the US has a total population of over 333 million, so...

Thanks: that really makes me feel better. I'm hoping my little car keeps going, but I do need to take better care of it. I just had the crankshaft position sensor replaced to take care of a stalling/starting issue, and I feel like there's more to be done.
Would you mind answering some questions I have about my Soul as I look to do some of my own maintenance? If you don't feel like it, I totally understand, because I'm trying to solicit free advice from an expert.
Yeah, I'm leaning toward keeping the Kia. It's paid off, anyway. I'm just going to be starting some heavy preventative maintenance on that GDI engine. I haven't done a lot of diy in the past, but some of the work seems pretty trivial, and the car can anecdotally survive 200-300K miles if I take care of it.
Yeah, that's my feeling. I just wanted to be sure I'm not rejecting a potentially good deal. Thanks for talking me though it!
Buy or No Buy: 2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
It's got 250,000 miles and is $5,500. It's a former taxi service car, apparently. Obviously, a pre-purchase inspection would be a must. I've heard these cars are very reliable, but the mileage, accident history (3, not sure how serious), and potential status of the high voltage battery give me pause. I'm leaning against traveling to look at it, but I'm wondering if the model is just so good it's worth a try at that price point.
It would be replacing a 2015 Kia Soul with about 80,000 miles--Kia's engine woes have me spooked, so I'm considering trying to get something more likely to go for several hundred thousand miles. Any thoughts?
You're right. I'm an idiot.
We're talking about the way a TV show starts called CSI: MIAMI.
Basically, there's always a clever remark from the lead, followed by the opening credits accompanied by part of a song by The Who.
Queue loud song by The Who...
We need to organize an underground railroad for LGBTQ+, minorities, and dissidents now.
Where are you planning to go? I'm inclined to want to leave, but I have no idea where to go.
SSD for Old Laptop
I'm looking to replace the HDD on an HP Pavilion dv 6 6130-us. It has an i-3 2330M CPU. I know it's old as dirt, but I'd like to use it to run old games. It's also the only thing I own with a CD drive.
I've upgraded the RAM to the maximum it will support (16 GB). I'm thinking an SSD will help it run a great deal faster, but I'm stuck on what to get. So far, the Crucial MX500 seems like a good choice, but I'm wondering if any semi-reliable cheap SSD will do for something this old. I have to stick with something with a 2.5 inch form factor that uses SATA. Thoughts?
First PC for My Son
So my eight-year-old wants a desktop PC. He's kind of a budding gamer, but right now, he almost exclusively plays Roblox on his iPad and will definitely carry this over to the PC. As he gets older, he may want to graduate to more demanding titles. On the other hand, he may also get bored with it and stick with consoles and mobile gaming.
I don't want to spend a ton on a PC for a very young child who may not take to PC gaming seriously, but I also want to get something that might be upgradeable as he grows if he wants to join the PC master race.
In my research, I came across this.
The recommendation I saw in PCMag that led me to the PC above suggested that the integrated graphics with the Ryzen 5 5600G could serve as a starting point for low level gaming and allow me to spend on a GPU card later if it's justified. The price and functionality appear to offer exactly the path I want.
I've seen other, more expensive versions of this pre-built, and I've also looked at the possibility of building it myself. I like this particular chip because it's only a generation or so back and it still appears to be well-regarded by the community. If I went with one of the cheap old workstation conversions, I'd be limited by proprietary hardware and fewer options--a lot of the stuff out there, especially Intel stuff, is very old and won't be able to run Windows 11 when it becomes necessary. What I'm finding suggests this path could see us through quite a few years to come and allow us to upgrade as needed.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or does this seem like it could work the way I want?
UPDATE: I've decided to buy the pre built deal I found with the 6500G. I would like to go to a fancier build, but the price of the AM5 chips and motherboards takes them off of the table for me right now. I think what I'm getting will be good enough as some of you have said.
Thanks to everyone for your help! If y'all are interested, I'll post an update when I get it.
Can you filter out posts on Lemmy that are in languages other than one you speak?
I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?
