Oh, interesting. I was not familiar with Bazzite. I have a tiny Dell Optiplex hooked up to my living room TV, I was going to put Linux on there soon anyways. I wonder if that would be a good candidate for Bazzite.

Hah, nope it isn’t an Intel. I’m currently fighting with my wife’s old workstation that I’m trying to use as a Linux gaming rig. It has an i7 9700 in it, and it just does not want to run under 82C in game. I replaced the old thermal paste, added two (larger) case fans, and moved the HDD to improve airflow. I can try a better low-profile cooler, but I really don’t know if that’s going to do it either. Short of water cooling, which would mean new case as well, I don’t know what to do.

I love Moonlight. I just switched over to Linux and haven’t gotten my Moonlight host set up yet. But it’s on my to-do list. What do you use to stream it? I’m rocking a Powkiddy RGB30. The square screen squishes stuff a little, but it’s pretty cool to play Astroneer on something so tiny.

For me, it’s a several hour process. I enjoy the cable management, for one thing. I like to handle each component as carefully as if I’m assembling a nuclear bomb. Idk, it’s a fun therapeutic process that I like to take my time with.

Well, except for the last one I built. Which is basically just crammed in however I could get stuff to fit. Had to bust out the angle grinder for the graphics card to make it in. Had to relocate the hard drive cage. Cable management is just enough so they aren’t rubbing on any fans. I have rubber shims wedged under the Blu-ray drive to prevent rattling in the stupid tool free drive bay. It’s a disaster in there. But it usually doesn’t get over 70C in game, so I’m not going to mess with it.

Looks like an Amway ad.

That reminds me of a guy at a company party that was making lewd comments about the head of HR. He told the guy next to him he’d f her so hard, sparks would fly out of her vagina. Didn’t realize he was talking to her fiancé. Then, proceeded to grope another female employee. When they called him I to the front office the next day, he honestly had no idea he was getting fired. He thought he was getting a promotion.

OK, so we were having a Christmas luncheon at work. HR made the flyer. It said “Holiday” party. Somebody felt that was part of the war on Christmas, and crossed out Holiday and wrote Christmas. That wasn’t the issue. Another guy took offense to that guy, and made a counterfeit flyer for the company Cthulu summoning. It said that the human sacrifice would be at 12, lunch at 1 so bring a change of clothes. He posted those all over.

That’s a firing.

Oo, a ziploc bag full of spaghettios

Once in their pocket, if they are some kind of madman that doesn’t have a dedicated phone pocket and they have a phone with an aluminum frame, that’s a recipe for disaster as well.

5:30am - Wake up in the mornin’ feeling like P. Diddy 6:00am - Grab my glasses; I’m out the door, I’m gonna hit this city 5:45am - Before I leave, brush my teeth, with a bottle of Jack ‘Cause when I leave for the night I ain’t comin’ back

Oh man, I really enjoyed Battlefield Earth. And the movie. What turned you off?

Like Frank in the “Frank’s Little Beauties” episode. He just needs a song about not diddling kids.

I think the worst way to sum up his channel is that he reviews MP3 players and bad headphones. You’d really just have to see it, he’s very funny.

Yeah, she definitely crossed the line that time. It was probably the most mad I have ever seen her. I can’t remember if that was also when she slapped me, or if that was something else. But really, those were the worst instances and the other 98% of my childhood was very good. And we really do have a very good relationship today. I don’t think I deserved it, or any child would deserve that. My schooling was just a hotbutton issue for her, and I pushed it really hard that time.

My mom was very strict with me as a child, but I don’t think it was narcissistic. She was very focused on my education. I had to do well and get a good job. But it was because she wanted me to have good health insurance as I have had chronic health issues from birth. I have a good job now, my student loans are paid off, and she was right about me needing good health insurance. Our relationship is lovely now. But I’ll probably always remember the time that I skipped a homework assignment and she spit in my face.

It’s probably about the Vienna concert that was canceled due to a terrorist threat.

I know those two are, but I love them. Unironically. I’ve read the Waterworld comics, I bought the Arrow bluray release with the Ulysses cut the day it came out. I’m tempted to get a copy of Waterworld for my Virtual Boy to round out the collection.

Battlefield Earth isn’t on the same level as Waterworld, but I still read the book after watching it and love the movie even more, having the whole story filled in.

Wow, I really liked 3 and resurrection. Guess I didn’t realize they were so disliked. Guessing you’re not a fan of Waterworld or Battlefield Earth either?

I heard that same chemical is in the COVID vaccine. And it just so happens to be in the school lunches? Not in my back yard!
