Tell them to wait and save resources, earthlings are doing a great job destroying themselves.

Simbin’s GTR2002 was an amazing mod of EA’s F1 game. Great online racing and the added hotlap ranking from Find the Limit.

Many hours invested and IRC friends made. Got to race Gregor Huttu and had some of his setups ;)

I can start by saying that I’m a tech “guy”. The evolution was simple: Puzzles, Lego, bikes, model R/C cars/planes, computers, motorcycles then cars. Add to that motorcycles and cars give you freedom of movement to go anywhere anytime in a whim, it is difficult to not geek about them.

Then, during a brief period of my life I lived in a big (for me) city and had to use the public transport and it was horrible. This only exacerbated my dreams of owning a motor vehicle. Car magazines helped fuel these dreams.

My dad loved sports cars, that didn’t help the addiction ;)

Cook at home mostly. Every now and then maybe every two weeks we go out. And twice a week I send the kids to get kebab or pizza at the plaza in town. Never have had anything “cooked” delivered… because no such service where I live.

Me thinks this is funnier where universal healthcare doesn’t exist

Pre-teen is the worst age for this. Just try to get your kid past this the best you can. Happens everywhere, eventually they will mature and learn.

Heck, this is always the plot in school movies.

Besides that it is safer, I don’t hit my front splitter on the curb.

A typical hamburger is about 500 kcal so you would have to go up those stairs 100 times to burn it off in theory.

But science is now saying that burning off calories isn’t related to excersise… you burn the same amount doing or not doing physical activity. So I don’t know if this is relevant anymore.

In the region of Albacete (Spain) we have a similar word… and no, it’s not related to the video game giant:

Ea.

37.5 hour work week

should have gone to Mahjong’s Pizza, you would have got a lower APR

Not sure in Linux, could be a driver or kernel configuration. I don’t know a way to double check it. When booting into windows it’s at x16. So not a hardware or bios issue.

Hardware info (hwinfo) or similar. Be able to check all voltages, speed and temps while testing new hardware. For example my ARC A770 has little to no info, and shows running at pcie x1.

Edit: mistakingly thought link width was x4, but looking at it again shows x1

Vote to leave Europe and then complain that you lost all benefits living in Benidorm

This is my take on this. People blaming the software but the truth is that no software can be trusted. Make backups. Make mistakes and learn. Sometimes it will be painful, but those are the most valuable lessons

I find it pretty telling that my kid and his friend where at home playing on the almost 20 year old ps3, with the ps5 right next to it.

To be fair they do fire up the 5 for that soccer game, but I have soo many games in the cabinet for the 3 that it is a goldmine for them

I regularly go to “La Mañica” in Albacete, where you can get the baturro with a drink and coffee for less than 10€. That bocadillo is bigger than my arm.

ViRGE 3D, upgraded the memory with 2 chips to play Tomb Raider.

Do the numbers! Check that the range is at least double of that you need. Check if the purchase price makes economic sense. Put priority on wants and needs. Think of resale value, because you never know if some life changing event can happen.

I avoided that bullet in 2017 when my e39 blew the headgasket. It was either a modern EV or hybrid or a cheap second hand gas guzzler. At less than 5000km a year the numbers told me what I needed to know, and looking back, my Mondeo ST220 has been much cheaper overall, fun and dead reliable.

In Valheim it was quite real and comfy at the same time. Weird I know.
