  • respect dandelions!

    Jump

  • Where I live it's frankly too dry for uniform grass lawns and dandelions will completely take over if left alone. I'd be fine with it if I didn't find the green jagged leafed plant and milky red stems so fugly, never mind the nice yellow flower.

    I've been overseeding with white clover and native wildflowers since moving in both of which thrive in the spring choking out dandelions naturally. Puts nitrogen back into the soil too unlike grass.

    All I do is aerate now.

    Better for the bees in two ways. One, I'm not spraying chemicals and two, dandelions are actually pretty shit tier from a bee perspective.

    Which NES soundtrack do you find very relaxing?

  • Track 2! Haha thanks.

  • How would you prove that you're from the future?

  • If I wake up in 1875 right where I am and a birch tree hasn't appeared through my chest, then I'm a half hour hike away from Fort Saskatchewan. A North West Mounted Police outpost+jail and they'll speak English I can understand in 1875.

    In 1879 they'll hang a whiskey addicted Cree man who killed and ate his six children, his wife, mother, and brother. Swift Runner or Ka-Ki-Si-Kutchin. Got kicked out of the fort (I think he worked there? So he might be around already), and then his own tribe kicked his dysfunctional ass out too before he did this.

    From Canada Day I wandered through a few times the new replica Fort the city built and read the history placards. So I'd also know a few of policeman names, some trivia about them, and how some of them would die. Mostly by fighting natives. Most of them were cunts frankly. Yes yes very surprising to nobody.

    Jump

  • The game is sorta crap even though I like it, but I find The Blues Brothers NES OST very comfy.

  • What games are just objective masterpieces?

    Roller Coaster Tycoon 1. (2 was weaker without OpenRCT2, the real masterpiece, but idk if unfinished projects should count or not)

    I could go on and on.

  • Will the motherboard in my decade old desktop pc work with any new graphics card?

    Jump

  • That's an AM4 slot motherboard then! I'd look up the latest motherboard BIOS update, and then throw in the best used CPU you can too. The 450M chipset can support up to Ryzen 5000 series.

    A 3800X (~100 CAD used) Ryzen or better is still plenty powerful paired with a modern GPU. Zen 2/3 is way better than the first gen for IPC.

    5000 series are still pretty expensive however.

  • ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows

    Jump

  • I think we've known this about Ring cameras for awhile now at least. Lowkey I kinda seethe about any neighbors buying that spyware shit. It's not like the fucking cops give a singular shit about home robberies anyways.

  • AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid

  • reads meta data 1st We gotta get Alec to show up on William's chaos ranch for an episode of Farmer's with Brain Damage. If anyone can get 1 million billion Sunflowers to grow in sand and not get eaten by Kevin's dog it'll be Alec.

    Now I'll watch the video. I'm sure it's good. It's always good.

    edit: Yep. Interesting.

    I think, it's not very expensive or difficult to find work around solutions to the few people holding onto standard definition media.

  • Loading Artist » Inconsolable

  • Absolutely. I've replayed Picross 3D and the sequel like fives times over each by now via mobile emu.

  • Owner class don't care if you, some peasant, dies. It's their control getting threatened that gets them motivated.

  • I have a sinus infection and there is so much snot! Where does it all come from?

    Jump

  • Not for the squeamish of course, but I find videos/photos of people who survived head cancer or explosive/war injuries affecting that part of the face showing off their prosthetics to be the best visual examples of how big those nasal cavities are if they've been exposed.

  • How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?

    Jump

  • Abs are made in the kitchen, but you sound on the ball there already so:

    Yeah in 2-3 months without missing many days you'll start to notice.

    Edit: In my experience it's other people who see you often/semi often who notice external changes first. Not sure if that's just me or not.

  • What are some active good communities?

    Jump

  • Go to the communities tab, choose All instances, and sort by Top Month.

    Those are the active communities since it's showing the ones with the most unique IP visits per month as I understand it?

    No matter what this place is still small. Technology on .world is #1 with 16,700 users / month.*

  • Will the motherboard in my decade old desktop pc work with any new graphics card?

    Jump

  • Yes*

    1: Old motherboard PCI-E generation slot may bottleneck bandwidth, make sure you use the slot closet to the CPU for 16x speeds.

    2: Old CPU might get bogged down by the massive modern video drivers and make the GPU under perform.

    3: Going forward you'll need to consider ReBar support. The newest Radeon GPU will under perform without ReBar enabled. If you don't have that feature, it'll still work, but look up on/off benchmarks.

    4: Make sure your power supply can handle any upgrades.

  • Nothing disgusts me more than Puritans.

  • Without mentioning smartphones or social media, what societal changes have you noticed over the course of your lifetime?

    Jump

  • I was trying to think of specifics, but they're already getting mentioned. I'd just say a lot of these things stem from there being literally double the amount of humans alive right now than when my dad was born. An individual is devalued immensely and cultural cohesion is completely shot.

  • Unlikely to be a singular cause.

    My extreme height and recreational drug use will likely factor in.
