Yeah right? See also: Cryptocurrencies.

I did not know that, though unless we’ve got a real dodgy doctor somewhere I doubt the entire town has a prescription.

Ah yes I forgot about Canada. I tried to be unambiguous but I am in the UK, and I just meant that the people in my town seem to believe that since the laws have largely changed over there then that somehow also applies to us. Everybody’s so blasé about using it and the cops don’t care so we should just tax the stuff already.

Everybody in my town seems to think it’s legal ever since most of the US legalised it. The smell of weed is everywhere and I’ve seen numerous people casually smoke it in the street. The police don’t seem to care, so they may as well just make it official and start reaping the tax benefits.

Edit: Just to be clear, I am in the UK.

I tried a couple episodes of Lower Decks but I wasn’t taken. Maybe I should just skip to S2.

I don’t really follow the off-season but people seem very excited about this so I’m quietly optimistic I guess?

Came here to ask if it was worth watching as someone who considers Next Gen and DS9 (and Voyager to a lesser extent) to be peak Trek. I think you’ve answered my question!

Start of September

I used to work at a games studio that would get these delivered fairly regularly, usually paired with a particular motherboard and presumably a custom BIOS.

I think we were technically supposed to return them but the manufacturers never enforced it, so once the chip was actually released to the public - and assuming the sample was stable enough for general use - the PC would rotate into normal stock and eventually get sold for cheap to staff or end up in the spare parts bin.

While it was cool at first to get pre-production chips before anyone else, it became pretty mundane and I’m not at all surprised to see them out in the wild decades later. Interesting piece of history though!

Probably going to wish he hadn’t bothered with the helmet if he comes off and loses all his skin.

I tried so hard to make that combo work for me, but ended up back with the sticks. Maybe I need to try something other than Half-Life 2.

Conversely I bought a Steam Deck specifically because of the trackpads but I find I only ever use them on the rare occasion that I need to go to desktop mode. I love my Deck but I’ve discovered that could easily live without the trackpads if they weren’t there.

Off the shelf in the UK, they’re sold in packs of either 8 or 16 tablets, and shops are legally only allowed to sell you two packs at once. Pharmacies can of course supply larger quantities with a prescription.

The recommended dose is one or two 500mg tablets every 4 hours with a maximum of 8 tablets per day.

My workplace ran off DL360s (the 1U variant of this) of various generations for 20 or 30 years. I remember getting the first G5 in and being really impressed by the way the components all slotted in so easily and pretty much everything was hot-swappable. And the no-nut rail system was a revalation.

They were great systems for their time but that power consumption is crazy by today’s standards!

As for feedback, you have a very confusing sentence about 2.5" and 3.5" drives being the same size. Took me far too long to realise you meant capacity and not physical dimensions!

I waited years before I watched it, long after the hype had died down. I went in with no expectations and I quite enjoyed it.

It’s just a day-in-the-life film where nothing really happens and there’s no big revelation or pay-off at the end, but the journey had some memorable moments and was fun nonetheless.

This is RoboCop 2 right? Or did he play a psychotic kid in something else that I missed?

Sublime

As a Jets fan I’m too busy wallowing in my own self pity to feel sorry for you guys, though I am disappointed that there’s no longer any chance of an all Canadian final.

Go Oilers I guess.

Did they kick it in? Yes I’m still bitter about it, why do you ask?

Quaid! Start the reactor.
