Never had an issue with Nvidia on Linux. Yes, you have to use proprietary drivers, but outside of that I’ve been running Linux with Nvidia cards for 20 years.

Enk1,

Been running Wayland for 2 years and only issue I had with it was Synergy not working.

Enk1,

You don’t need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there’s a release. I don’t even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

And hell, you’re using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?

Enk1,

Ah, I always update the driver through the package manager and it never auto-updates.

A storied history of systemic racism and violence. A lack of adequate training. A lack of accountability. A complete lack of repercussions that actually affect them - tax payers footing the bill for settlements instead of cop pension funds. A mob-like culture that protects abusive cops and uses fear to keep the rest in line.

Should I go on?

Easy solution: only buy drinks in aluminum cans or glass bottles. World is already drowning in microplastic pollution.

Problem is the stainless steel you’d need to use in order to get the corrosion resistance and non-reactivity with the contents is prohibitively expensive. Cheap stainless steel alloys offer pretty poor corrosion resistance - see the CyberTruck rusting after being rained on a few times.

Enk1,

Yes, it is actually. You melt the aluminum and skim off any remaining plastic and contaminants from the top of the molten aluminum. It’s a standard, millenniums old process for any metal working.

Enk1,

If you use approximately the same amount of material as in an aluminum can, you’re already at 3x the weight of an aluminum can. Stainless is also far less malleable and much more brittle than aluminum, so the minimum wall thickness is much higher for steel. Aluminum can walls are 0.11m thick, whereas the minimum wall thickness for stainless steel alloys is around 0.50mm thick. Meaning you’d need around 4.5 times as much material, making the stainless steel can weigh at least 10 times as much as the average 15 gram aluminum can. A 12-pack of soda would weigh 4.5 pounds more. Now imagine how much transporting that extra weight costs.

Stainless steel is great for reusable stuff, but it’d be impractical at the same scale as aluminum cans.

Conservative Christian women in red states are rising up to defend IVF (www.washingtonpost.com)

“They were attacking my faith. It bothered me to the core,” said Sara, a Southern Baptist who identifies as pro-life. “Because I had never viewed [IVF] as wrong, as anything other than beautiful and bringing another life into the world. … I’ve actually had a lot of friends pray for me and encourage me and help me along...

Enk1,

The “I never thought they’d come for me” crowd appears to have fucked around and, subsequently, found out.

Enk1,

This is it. A lack of training for officers and a lack of infrastructure to support rehabilitation. The bill was set up for failure, as none of the above happened prior to the law going into effect. It’s like removing your physical fence before installing an invisible fence and wondering why your animals all ran away.

For universities, sure. But not for US public elementary and high schools. They’re just poor.

Enk1,

Not really a US thing, most carriers here offer unlimited data. More of a Canadian and European issue.

Enk1,

There’s no exposure to the virus with RNA vaccines.

Enk1,

That’s the way I handle it. A 1 on the die is automatic failure, but roll again and on another 1, it’s catastrophic.

Enk1,

Or maybe most people that sit in front of a monitor all day are working and can benefit from a sharper image and more real estate. I work in tech and end up needing a lot of windows and terminals on the screen at once - upgrading from 1080p to 1440p was a game changer for productivity.

Enk1,

Most ammunition, especially ammo used at a range, are copper jacketed. There is no exposure to lead when handling most ammo.

Enk1,

That’s what proficiency and expertise is for. Higher charisma makes a character more naturally adept at those skills, but limited to no more than +5 unless you specialize in one of them. A +5 is nice, but when you start running into higher DC checks, like 15-20, a +5 isn’t super reliable.

Enk1,

As a DM, the rules-as-written are more a suggestion than rules. As long as you’re consistent with applying your modified rules, give that Barb an Intimidation bonus based on STR or whatever you like. I have a pretty decent sized list of rules I treat differently than RAW, because some spells and abilities are never used - why cast anything else when you have access to Fireball?

Enk1,

The same Stanley and these specific ones recently became insanely trendy.

Enk1,

Two pieces equal to 1/3 of the total and two pieces equal to 1/6th. Everyone gets a third with 4 pieces, but one person has two smaller pieces that add up to a third. You can accomplish this by cutting one third off each apple with a single stroke,.

Enk1,

I think you’re stretching the definition of a single stroke a bit thin. 😂

Neutral druids don’t care about the welfare of others? Not even the other druids in their circle?
