That’s what I was thinking. Just refuse to enter the US. And if they’re forced to, when the match starts both teams should just stand there the 90 minutes and then leave. Or if they’re forced to play, put on a shit performance and have a boring 0-0 draw for every game played in the US.

Summer’s a bummer.

Thanks, I see Bottles lets you use Proton as a runner so I’ll give that a try.

It Not an Emulator all the way down.

The closest I’ve come to getting it to work was SketchUp Make 2017 (the last of the free versions). I could get it to install using WINE but as soon as I ran it it would crash out saying I was not supporting graphics acceleration. Right now I’m trying to install SketchUp Pro 2021 using Bottles and just keep getting Invalid Handle errors all through the installation, mostly when it seems to be looking for certain KBs for Windows 7 and 8 I think. I have to dig through the Logs to hopefully find I’m missing a dependency somewhere.

To answer your question I’m running Linux Mint and have an AMD Radeon 7970XTX that is more than capable.

I know, but web app versions of just about everything suck nuts.

This is great, but does it handle GPU acceleration yet? The main thing I still need Windoze for is SketchUp and I have never managed to get it to work because I get a GPU acceleration error. Any hints would be welcome.

Lol. I like this Martha Root, I wish her many more happy hacking years.

Grep is g/re/p. Global, Regular Expression, Print.

Clickspring is absolute gold. The guy is crazy talented and to be fair most of the time I don’t know what he’s talking about, I just enjoy watching a master at work.

Very glad to see this mentioned, yet somewhat miffed you think he’s in, I assume “Tropical” New Zealand?

His videos, and those of Lemmino, are the only ones where I’ll set aside a time of day so I can watch them alone and happy.

This might be too niche for anyone here, but Ronny Dahl.

He used to make good videos on four wheel driving in Australia, with good gear tips and longer form camping trips with his friends. Well, either he started editing his videos alone or stopped taking his meds or something, but now every video is quick cuts, stupid voice effects, stories that build into nothingburgers or intermingled stories that have nothing to do with each other and just get confusing. I also notice those friends he used to camp with aren’t in his videos any more, so that’s probably saying something.

At least I still have the 4WD 24/7 guys (although I don’t really like the “next generation” they’re trying to bring in).

I wasn’t an avid watcher but did enjoy his content until the Pompeii video. I get that in his mind he was giving context, but when he sat there reading directly from the bible I felt pretty gross. How people juxtapose heavy religious belief with scientific method astounds me.

Yes but does it have to be dead at the time?

I’m really not sure why they felt the need to point this out in the article.

I get told this a lot. Sure, the range of guitar effects is limited if not non-existant, but fortunately they create a sound I like so… I’m glad they all sound the same? I guess.

I think though with Tool the changes are a lot more subtle than people expect, which makes them bad background music. The timing changes, and beats appearing and disappearing every second bar are not so noticeable unless you’re really listening to it.

Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They’re far more interesting.

Handing online servers over to consumers…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is Stop Killing Games specifically against this? This sounds like some Pirate Software bullshit. My understanding is we want the tools to host our own servers if the parent company decides to take theirs offline.

In a similar vain, I enjoy rewatching Chernobyl and thinking “what if this happened in the USA instead?” I just can’t imagine the government and people mobilising that quickly. Everything would have to wait for tender responses, companies would price-gouge for their efforts, people wouldn’t take “you will do it because it needs to be done” as an answer. The catastrophe would be way worse and clean up would have taken longer.

Basically what I was getting at. Personally I really like Islay scotches, so Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg (if you REALLY like smoke), Kilchoman, Caol Ila (which is where a lot of Johnny Walker’s blend comes from anyway) are all favourites that come reasonably priced.

If you want decent blends I personally go for Dimple or Monkey Shoulder. Or if you have an Aldi nearby, they occasoinally have a great blend called Highland Black which is very reasonably priced for what you get.

tl:dr Johnny Walker is overpriced and not nearly as good as their reputation.
