  • Steam just straight up doesn’t work that way. It’s an application launcher, it will happily try to run a game on integrate graphics even if you have a dedicated GPU if you haven’t configured your system properly. This is, in fact, a very common issue.

    One of my favorite hobbies and genres of YouTube videos is testing out really old GPUs and CPUs on modern games to see what they do. I’ve had the game tell me it straight up won’t launch because an intel 845 doesn’t have the right graphics API for a modern game, but steam will still let the game try to launch.

    Chiv probably doesn’t like your 10 year old integrated graphics because it’s 10 year old integrated graphics and you threw a hissy fit about steam instead of thinking maybe the game was the problem.

  • Isn’t that intentional though?

    He specifically requests to be a bad guy and to lose in the end because of his experience with crime and prison in his youth and wanting to be an example of crime not winning.

  • Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can eat grapefruit while on medication.

    Grapefruit delays the breakdown of medication in the body. Most medication require the liver to break down whatever is in the pill into the actual chemical that will effect your body. So what happens is the original chemical in the meds builds up in your body’s and then the grapefruit wears off and your liver goes nuts making active ingredients, leading to an overdose.

  • It’s every week.

    Right before markets close for the weekend, he says a deal is close.

    This makes investors feel confident and buy oil futures.

    He’s been pumping and dumping the oil market for this entire war, and investors are so stupid they keep believing him. I guarantee when the market finally crashes off the end of this rollercoaster, the war will miraculously end.

  • Make em get practice insurance just like doctors and nurses, and I think lawyers are also insured for their jobs.

    Most professions where you hold the future of another human in your hands require some kind of insurance, except for police. Yet a cop can mistakenly arrest you, drag your name through the newspapers and the mud, hell even shoot you for no good reason, and then walk away like that didn’t just ruin your life just as badly as a surgeon cutting off the wrong leg, or a nurse overdosing you cause they fucked up the math.

    Make cops carry insurance. If they can’t afford the premiums or get dropped for being to risky, well then they can go pound sand.

  • Great theory, but the Falcon 9 is already a proven design and most of SpaceX’s R&D is going to the starship, which uses completely different engines and which has blown up or disintegrated just as much as its successfully gotten above the atmosphere. It’s also never actually completed an orbit or delivered a gram of anything to orbit.

    Starlink is a useful tool to boost launch numbers precisely so investors think things are better than they actually are. Originally SpaceX burned through government and private investor money. Now that they’ve blown through the entire Artemis budget the interim director of nasa gave them through blatant corruption, and launched even more billion dollar fireworks using private investor money, they are desperately trying to convince the public for more fireworks funds.

  • Wouldn’t be nearly so expensive if anti-nuclear idiots like yourself wouldn’t keep voting to block long term nuclear waste storage facilities from being built in the first place.

    There’s a half built one in Arizona that can’t be used because idiots are afraid of a tectonically stable underground silo somehow releasing dry nuclear waste.

    Do actual research. Fear mongering about nuclear reactors is exactly why they’re so expensive.

  • Well it’s a good thing that you can’t set off a nuclear explosion by bombing a nuclear power plant either.

    A nuclear explosion requires either nanosecond timing that detonates a sphere of explosives that compress a highly enriched nuclear core until it goes critical, or you need two parts of a critical core that come together when you want the big boom. It is impossible for a nuclear reactor to cause a nuclear detonation. There simply isn’t enough highly enriched material in a reactor.

    You could cause a nuclear meltdown, but you’d need to damage the fuel rods, which are typically buried rather deep for obvious reasons.

    Nuclear power is the most energy dense and efficient electrical energy source that we have as a species.

  • Toilet have a cloaca as long as they haven’t been neutered. To check the gender, slip your arm up the P-trap and feel for the glands. You’ll know what a dick feels like.

    Most domesticated toilets are neutered at birth to prevent overpopulation and damage to the local sewage ecosystems.

  • Ehhh, the French mocking people is hardly something to stand on as an argument. Other things the French will mock people for:

    • pronouncing bread names wrong
    • attempting to pronounce bread names correctly
    • liking the Eiffel Tower
    • not liking the Eiffel Tower
    • speaking French
    • not speaking French

    An Americano is also not just coffee, it is espresso. This is like saying someone can’t handle their liquor because they ask for a cocktail they can sip on instead of straight shots of vodka. I do like shots of espresso as a pick me up sometimes, but other times I want something I can sip on whilst talking with a friend or working. Much like how sometimes I will slam back whiskey like it’s water, or make a nice cocktail if I’m taking it easy and want to enjoy myself.

  • Am HVAC tech.

    No one has money. I knew things were truly fucked before Christmas when I was talking to a guy, standing in his living room that is larger than my entire fucking house, and he was hemming and hawing about replacing his furnace blower motor that was actively leaking oil. I felt scummy having to point out that it is an actual fire hazard. He pushed the repair off to the new year so he could get some money together. Another guy had to call his sister to pay me for his dispatch fee, and then said he’d buy an inducer motor at Home Depot because my quote for the warranty repair was too high. I wish him the best of luck.

    It has not gotten better. I fear for my job on a weekly basis. I had to switch to a new company due to moving states for my wife’s job, and I am having a hell of a time proving I can bring value when people are barely able to afford capacitors at discounted rates. I had one guy whose unit won’t even start just say they’ll just not have AC.

    He’s cooked, I’m cooked, we’re all cooked.
