The first computer I fully built myself was in the early 2010s. I plugged something into the wrong jumper and part of my motherboard blew up. Like a mini flashbang smoke and everything. Amusingly it was an optional slot and the mobo actually still worked and as far as I know it is still in use in my ex spouse’s media center lol

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•[video] We need more of this energyEnglish
341·17 days agoA few years back a friend and I were walking around. They slapped the hood of a car that was in the crosswalk. The driver pulled a gun out and started following us through oncoming traffic to yell at and threaten us it was fucking nuts
I bought 96gb ram for mine about 6mo ago because I also figured why not, wasn’t even the most expensive part of my machine go big or go home. Cost me like $200 after tax, that same ram now is almost $850 before tax
I like to breed things okay
I believe it is a MoYu RS3M but I don’t know how to confirm that. It’s been so long since I bought it and I lost the actual box and accessories somewhere in my last couple of moves
I use Arch btw

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?English
36·1 month agoI feel deeply embarrassed about being from the US. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends out of necessity, later realizing they were all assholes, and trying to come to terms with the fact you spent so many years with them. I live outside the US now and I’m even more embarrassed to be from there. Every time there’s some culture shock my takeaway is either “wow how did I normalize this broken aspect of the US” or “I wish I was from somewhere that didn’t do those things to that person’s country”.
I also feel embarrassed and guilty over getting out of the US. I worked in tech and now I’m living off tech savings to start a life outside the US. I left my friends behind many of them are struggling financially, I left my community behind many of which are actively homeless, I chose to leave. Sure I’m leaving in part because my trans ass is on the chopping block but I see a lot of trans people fight harder instead of flee. I fought for so many years though and I couldn’t keep doing it so I left. The US did this to my community, made me confront choices I never wanted to make, I’m disgusted by having paid taxes to the war machine, and I justify working in tech as a way out of there but really I feel guilty over choosing to buy into that side of the US too so I could secure personal safety.

Just looked into the ram I got last year. From about $200 when I got it to $750 now

Ffs I get back from school to find this out. I’ll live up to it: dentist farting in my mouth is such a power move I’d be scared not to go back
I would go back to the dentist either if they were farting in my mouth
The Furryosa saga is one of the best things to happen here. Thank you for the updates ❤️
Pike place chowder has a chowder sampler and the other place I was thinking was Byrek and Baguette. Looking at BB’s menu though I’m not seeing one so maybe they don’t have it anymore? You can get a baguette and soup combo though

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?English
16·2 months agoWhat’s your problem? Let people enjoy stuff that has no effect on your life. You sound miserable internally and to be around, maybe go reflect on yourself a bit

Programming@programming.dev•I am sorry, but everyone is getting syntax highlighting wrongEnglish
34·2 months agoTheir examples where they’re trying to trick me into not finding things as quickly with a bunch of syntax highlighting worked exactly the opposite for me. Also I use dark theme because I don’t like burning a hole through my retinas from working all day it has nothing to do with highlighting options. This is a very subjective topic being presented as fact to such a degree it feels like satire






How do you mean? Talk seemed fine to me am I missing something?
