Yes, I will store the expensive paintings in a house made of toothpicks and cardboard with a tar roof in a state known to have widespread fires every year. It is a good idea.

Am I gregnant?

My confusion isn’t why they’re decorated, but why the decoration is always on the downwards facing side so you can’t actually see it once installed.

I’ve never understood this about GPUs, why are they all designed so that the cool-looking decorated part with the fancy heat spreader and fans and LEDs and stuff are facing downwards?

iirc British plugs do have a fuse built in to every plug, but they are also the only ones who do that

how about my geforce 9500 for your vega 64?

You’ve cherry-picked that out of context, they were clearly trying to say “other people assume that all men are probably assholes, therefore they assume that that I’m probably an asshole”

I’m confused, is this the new version of the “Nobody:” meme format?

It took me far too long to realize this isn’t the Onion

Literally the beginning of the movie shows that Joy was there alone before Sadness showed up.

You can also be arbitrarily deemed “unfit for service” and forced to pay a pretty expensive compensation fee for the next several years, even if you would have preferred to have done the months of military or year of civil service instead.

“If everyone could see it”

The fingers look weirdly long, but all of the text is actually written and oriented correctly, but the shading across the surface of all the cards seems to change brightness randomly, …

We aren’t focusing on the thousands of people dying from malaria or the common flu either. Once something is routine it is no longer “news”.

I search for stuff in qBittorrent and download it directly onto my home server using the web UI. I’ve got most of my family’s devices set up to be able to access it either via an NFS or SMB mount, and then it’s just a simple matter of opening the corresponding video in VLC.

You don’t have to dig up the roads to fix buried power lines any more than you have to tear up your walls to replace power lines in your house: you install a conduit (basically a pipe) under the road once and if the cable somehow gets damaged and needs to be replaced you can just run new cable through the existing conduit by simply pushing it in on one end and pulling from the other.

Transformers and other non-cable equipment are typically housed aboveground in little boxes or built in to the house, so they’re actually easier to maintain than if they were installed aboveground on a pole since you don’t need a cherrypicker to access it.

Obviously in a less wealthy small town with existing overhead infrastructure it doesn’t make much sense to move it all underground “just because”, but if you’re already trenching under the road to install water/sewage/gas mains, it won’t cost much extra to throw down an additional one or two smaller conduits for running power cables or telephone/cable/fiber lines.
