Re: Arizona is a blasted hellscape

Sinema's not running for reelection. Only surprising in that it took this long to make the decision.

One time we found an "M" keycap lying on the floor and decided we were going to replace all the keys on the keyboard with the letter M. (This was a complete coincidence; we didn't know it was called a Model M until many years later.) https://i.imgur.com/e69bzYu.jpeg The dedication to find...

my partner's review of Godzilla Minus One: "i never thought a fucking godzilla movie would make me cry" absolute goddamn banger of a film. it's like a modern remix of 1954 in a lot of ways while also very much being its own thing. Yeah, that greatly exceeded my expectations. I wasn't expe...

Re: Adventures of the Longest Muskrat

Their current play seems to be "you can't bring Musk's behavior at Twitter into a SpaceX discussion, that's totally unrelated". The usual Silicon Valley techbro gambit of trying to claim you're a perfect rational being interested only in engineering, not your hu-man politics.

You always want to swap all cables when exchanging modular PSUs. On the PSU side, even if (some of) the connectors may match between two models, the pinouts are not standardized and may be entirely different.

Re: Computerus

With those symptoms, I would suspect the PSU first. The CPU should be perfectly fine at 90°C, and will throttle itself down to stay within acceptable temperatures.

Re: Game musings and news

Apparently the Front Mission 2 remake in English is machine-translated. The company handling it reputedly has a bad rep for MTLing games into Japanese, and some early English FM2 screenshots do not read like humans were involved. Booooooooo!

Re: The Winter Up There Must Give People Brain Freeze

They might actually not have a plan, or at least not a great one; India's diplomatic corps is notoriously overworked and understaffed. It is depressingly plausible that someone senior at their Canadian embassy is in waaaaaay over their head.

If you're in the USA, the Feds are restarting free test kit distribution next Monday. Move fast, since we're probably also looking at a government shutdown a week later.

Re: Hollywood Strike

And now there's a UAW strike on. One thing that's interesting to me is how much the tone has shifted and how much of the coverage is focusing on how much money CEOs are making while claiming they can't afford to pay workers any more. I am deeply impressed with how the UAW is framing their wage incr...

Re: Working Out Some Issues in Ukraine
