Ohio family builds 50,000-pound Stargate with ‘dial-home device’ to scan the cosmos The Stargate has become famous on social media, but the owner stresses visitors are not welcome and the property is not open to the public.

The title of the post on Lemmy is hard for me to read or understand.

This is what got me to switch to Linux (arch btw). I was getting blue/green screens 1-2x a week and it almost always ruined a gaming experience.

Now I can bork my system during an update, but at least I can game smoothly. My system hasn’t crashed once while in the middle of something (I have, however, fucked up my system post update and without a Time shift backup ready to go which merited a full reinstall - but it’s been a good learning experience overall)

I switched to arch on my main PC, so probably better at managing Linux. Ramping up my road biking workouts, so I’ll probably be faster (I normally do a 500mi riding event from Christmas eve to new years and hoping to crush that this year).

I have an electric leaf blower and it’s pretty quiet. Some students, earlier this year, found a way to make the blowers quieter - https://engineering.jhu.edu/news/hearing-is-be-leafing-students-invent-quieter-leaf-blower/

Need context for the paces. I’m assuming this is all on a flat course? Are we talking 6 min miles uphill for 1+ hours?

The issue is that health insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment. This could very well be a payment plan for a much larger bill, so op is probably paying off $200 a month over a year or more.

Not everyone is so blessed to have a low deductible plan. Most people have high deductible plans. Having a deductible of $6k or more is as good as being uninsured. Most people can not deal with paying $6k for an emergency - it can zero out folks bank accounts or be a hamper on their month to month budget.

Are there any reputable vendors out there nowadays? I hope to keep my EVGA 3090 for as long as possible, but don’t know where to turn when I eventually upgrade… Maybe just buy a card from another vendor and re-do the thermal paste myself?

Everywhere I look, there’s Love Island. Make the suffering stop.

My wife likes to binge this show whenever there is a new UK season. It’s an episode a day for like 6 weeks. My brain is slowly rotting watching British zoomers lay down the rizz
