Pressure and mockery? Pretty sure he died of physical abuse and malnutrition. He didn’t die because Putin made him sad.

Or just don’t connect the TV to your network. It has inputs. Use an input device you have control over. The end.

Who wants to bet they just had their fingers bent when they stenciled them?

Minotaurs?

They do wear out eventually, but the end of their useful life is a whole crapload of rounds if they’re well-made, and most good guns can have parts replaced either by the user or by a smith, so you can keep them running a long time if you oil them and keep them relatively rust-free. If a gun is so messed up it can’t fire or if it fails catastrophically and blows up, if it’s truly and permanently at the end of its life, I think most folks do indeed throw them in the trash, assuming they have no historical value. Maybe disassemble them or cut them up with a hacksaw first. Once it stops being able to be a gun anymore, it’s just junk.

Wait until you hear about The Sims

It helps to not be a loser right now. Elon is in his 50s and still acts like a childish, insecure douchebag. The fact that you are able to acknowledge your previous loserdom makes you already less lame than Elon. No amount of money can make him cool because he completely refuses to ever work on himself.

No, why would they? We don’t like tired eyes or tired batteries

Dropping off enough fuel to run the hospital for half an hour? Who cares? It was a PR stunt that would have made no difference. 300 liters is a pittance, an insult, a photo op, a lie to make suckers who can’t conceptualize volume think they made an effort to help. 300 liters is less than 80 gallons. This would be enough diesel to run a generator for one RV at full capacity for about 3 days, not a hospital with a ton of lights and computers, a ventilation system and a bunch of kids on life support. They sent enough fuel for one family to go glamping for a weekend.

If it’s not responding when plugged in correctly, you are almost certainly fucked. I have never seen this level of physical damage to a CPU and had it still be functional. This is severely bent for a PCB, it has a visible crease in it, which means a break. You have likely broken circuit traces and/or solder connections between the silicon and the PCB. I doubt you’ll be able to return it with this level of damage, so I guess you might as well try bending it back, but you will probably just break it further. The bend is preventing the contact points in the ball grid array from touching the corresponding contacts on the motherboard, so there is a very slight chance that if you bend them back so they all touch when you clamp it down, it could work, but I would keep my expectations low.

It’s a shitty way to learn the lesson about taking your time and paying close attention when assembling your computer, but hey, now you know and hopefully won’t do it again. All PC components are made to fit only in the correct orientation, and forcing them to fit in the wrong orientation will usually destroy the component, the motherboard or both.

A dagger does d4 damage. A dagger is not a small knife, it’s like 8 inches of blade. Compared to that, a human bite should be like a d2 on the high side.

Do you know any Linux users that aren’t IT professionals? If I know any, it’s because they’re the children of IT professionals

My 3070 apparently can’t run it in low detail at the native resolution of my monitor. Weak.

“No, don’t [do that]” is not a double negative, it’s just two independent negatives in a row, they don’t affect each other. A double negative would be like “don’t not do that” which will mean “do not fail to do that” to most people.

I still have a G1 in a drawer, every couple years I find it again and spend a few minutes flipping the screen open and shut. What a fun mechanism.

Guess what Edge and Chrome do if you make Firefox the default browser? They all harass you if you run them when they aren’t the default. At least Firefox respects the “don’t bother me about this again” checkbox

It wasn’t flight-worthy, it just hadn’t crashed yet. If your jet stopped properly responding to controls and you had the opportunity to eject and probably not die rather than crash and almost certainly die, what do you think you would do? Also if it lost power, it would still fly for a bit because momentum and airfoils and physics and such, but not be transmitting its position because no power, which makes it kinda hard to track because like, y’know, stealth aircraft
