  • The term does indeed refer to 19th century home lighting, but the origin of the modern usage is from a 1940’s film called Gaslight.

    In the film, the husband secretly rummages through the attic and his activities up there causes the pressure in the gas lines to drop causing the lights throughout the house to dim.

    When the wife would mention the dimming lights to the husband, he convinced her that the lights weren’t dimming and manipulated her into thinking she was going insane for seeing things.


  • The “epic island vacation” email from Musk that is written like a redditor with the terms “girls FTW”, “thank you kind sir” and “deal withthis. Thanks” is most likely fake as it doesn’t appear in the Epstein file dumps.

    The other emails between Musk and Epstein discussing Musk visiting Little St James (Epstein Island) are real and can be found in the Epstein file dumps.













  • System76 Oryx Pro is a very powerful laptop that fits your requirements, except for price.

    I have an older Oryx Pro that I bought second hand, Intel i7 10875H, RTX 2060, 32Gb ram and 2x 1Tb nvme ssds.
    Originally came with Pop!_OS but now runs Gentoo.
    Performs well in terms of gaming and modelling shit in freecad to send to my 3d printers.

    Big downside is fan noise. The moment you do anything requiring the gfx chip the thing get louder than an old 727 on takeoff.
