the sahara turning fully green could actually be another kind of disaster - parts of the food chain rely on dust from the sahara blowing over the atlantic to provide essential nutrient/minerals for smaller organisms that slightly less small organism feed on.

migrating dust clouds originating in the Sahara Desert are crucial to fostering life in the Atlantic Ocean as far away as the Amazonian basin

It’s not a big deal, and often it’s literally just about whitespace so that we don’t have fifteen different indentation models and bullet syntaxes.

a lot of amazon sellers simply mark working pulls as “refubrished” when all they did was reformat or if you are lucky did a zero fill and check that the sectors weren’t bad.

I don’t trust reburbs that aren’t manufacturer refurbished on any site because its a huge difference in the testing and checking being done.

I do sometimes buy used drives, but I know what I am getting there vs “refurbished” - and there is usually a pricing difference which is why so many are dishonestly calling used drives refurbs.

you want to look at the sellers warranty policies. if if they actually have one besides amazons, the seller is confident in their own items longevity

Headcanon: “Adam West” is the only real batman. He retired to Quohog and all the others are paid by Alfred to keep the gotham criminals afraid of coming back after Bruces tbi during his final day in the batsuit.

Use distilled - someone else already did the boiling and cooling.

Its partly like that but its MORE so that they are utterly convinced that all thier troubles including that they are poor is some other groups fault, and even when they do have doubts they are unable to express them without fear of losing thier status in thier in-group. So they will keep on voting against thier own interests and blaming the wrong people for the results.

My grandparents imigrated with all 12 of thier kids (my aunts and uncles), you got a problem -lots of hand motions- wid that? Eh? Eh?

But seriously who started all this topping gatekeeping, pizza has spread all over the world with variations evrywhere.

I’m italian from a family so italian we’re all walking stereotypes, and pinapple+black olive is my favorate pizza combination.

Anything good for is but not thier bottom line: OH HEAVENS NO, THE EXPENSE!

Anything they can profit from: this is essential.

Same is actually true for most fossil fuel production now - only has profits because of subsidizing.

The folks profiting spend part of that profit to pay for politicians to continue the cycle.

Pretty much exact argument much of the south made about ending slavery before the american civil war happened…

Yup. And it wasn’t money they would have gotten anyway so big N gets mad about nothing.

Doesn’t lose them money, the used game woudn’t make them anyway which is whu they lobbied to try and make reselling used games require a royalty or be illegal for years before everything became digital.

As for emulation they lie and call emulation itself illegal (the copies may be but emulation itself is not) because then they can’t pull a disney and “vault” old games on their digital storefronts and make you buy it again when they decide to just up shut down the previous server when they launch the next console.

They don’t want us to own the things we pay for. They want us to rent them while not realizing it.

Yup. And seconded.

A busted up acer netbook on a shelf in my basement ran a Final Fantasy XI private server for several years till it died and I migrated to something sturdier.

Display was wrecked, keyboard destroyed, trackpad gone… but a single usb port and a vga port still worked so I was able to install an OS. then I removed those and only ever remoted into it. I actually removed the busted display and keyboard to it’d vent heat better - it ran pretty hot and the ventilation on that thing was designed poorly. The reason the keyboard died was actually heat related, melting its underside and warping it.

FFXI Private servers will run on a 2 decades old potato, so this worked until it finally died despite some seriously pathetic specs.

(1gb ram upgraded to 2gb, 1 ghz intel atom single core cpu, yes really)
