I remember reading some Godfather tidbit that said that the cat in The Godfather was a stray found around the set and that Coppola decided to include in the movie. People actually thought that cat was supposed to be some kind of symbolism.

It’s a bit wonky in some parts but the ending ties the whole thing together. Definitely give it a read.

Fuck you, Trump, for depriving my ancestoral homeland of their energy needs!

When Revolution comes, Altman and his ilk will be one of the first to go down along with the Trumpists that prop up their enterprise!

Redneck logic.

In other news, the Church of England has confirmed that the Earth is indeed flat.

Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Some of best science-fiction literature ever penned.

However, the author, while a superb writer, is an asshole.

He owned an E-Bike shop but supported one of the most oil-friendly presidents in history?

Forget shooting yourself in foot, he shot his own wallet.

Kinda of. About 6 months ago, my speakers stopped outputting sound from their proper port on the I/O. Speakers themselves still worked as connecting them to the headphone port produced sound. When I put my PC back together about two weeks ago the sound problem persisted but this time switching sound profiles in the sound setting then switching back to the default, strangely, fixed the problem. It came at the caveat that I have to do it every time at reboot.

Following the advice of @MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip, I added -r to the line and got back this:

This was the very last (or first?) line. If more info is needed, just let me know.

Good to know that I’m not the only one. I don’t see plane guys and submarine guys using those as their daily drivers. I do have to ask though: am I a hypocrite if I want walkable cities but also want to embrace van life? I would love to get my hands on an old Soviet UAZ-452 and travel around Lake Superior and Lake Tahoe in it.

GPU shortage of 2018

Pandemic-related supply chain disruptions

NFT craze

And now Altman’s bullshit. All I want is to tinker with computers, learning about their inner-workings, the science behind them and play games. Why do profit-driven enterprises always have ruin our hobbies? Just so we can produce slop content to make the internet more bloated than it is already? Is it the worth the water depletion and the environmental destruction?

I misread game as grave. I was worried there for a second.

The idea wasn’t about cleaning your PC but rather cooling it. The idea was that since mineral oil hydrophilic (is that the right word?), it could do a better job than air or water cooling. However, as other have pointed out, it was a massive hassle with marginal benefits.

From left clockwise: Cannibal Corpse -> Mayhem -> Bathory -> George Michael

I did some research (more than I should for this ancient trite) and this comes from February 1978 issue of High Times magazine. A fucking stoner magazine! What the hell was the writer of some second-rate publication for grass and shrooms doing writing a lust piece about an up-and-coming child actress? What kind of grass would make you want to fuck a child?

Hold on, it gets worse. According to Wikipedia, the article’s writer, Ed Dwyer, was the magazine’s founding editor. Imagine working at that magazine’s office and reading your boss’s 1970s equivalent of a horny post.
