I think I’d still rather this than have a heavy device on my head,
I’ve wondered about this, actually. We’d need necks like an NFL linebacker.
an umbilical, and motion sickness.
Joking aside, that’s a legit concern. It’s not for everyone, that’s for sure.
May I recommend looking into your local kink-scene? I know you’re joking, but honestly, that’s the closest thing to an actual “sex guild” and it may be worth your while. Bigger metro areas typically have highly organized clubs for this - no fooling. If nothing else, you can learn some very cool things to do with rope.
This. A LOT of this. There’s a reason why the VFW has/had a lot of alcohol available, cigarettes were super popular, and why biker clubs became a thing post-war. The “greatest generation” was doing a lot of self-medication without managing to fix anything.
You can kind of see boomers become aware of how that’s not okay, as the tone of war movies shifts dramatically from WWII to Vietnam. They still missed the mark, but at least the idea of vets having “flashbacks” was something in popular media from that point forward. It was progress, if however minimal and incremental.
On the one hand, that’s over $3000 in monitors for one cubicle.
On the other, “office furniture” and “IT equipment” can be two completely different budgets in different departments. So the numbers aren’t directly comparable when it comes to requisitions.
Whoa, slow down there Satan.
This is it. This is the threshold of where a VR headset and a virtual desktop manager makes more sense.
Though Entrop is right that it’s mostly just a power-user worry.
Not entirely. I’ve had a few snaps become useless when it comes down to providing configuration data. How an individual snap integrates into the filesystem depends on the author/packaging, and quality varies. Ultimately, it’s a PITA since the mapped filesystem paths are not in the stock/standard locations the product docs say they are. I chalk this up to packaging software that existed pre-Snap, or the original authors did not do the Snap packaging. It’ll probably get better as the ecosystem matures, but right now, it’s not a great experience unless the Snap-ed package can run as-is.
Seconded. Everyone shits on Ubuntu, but it’s solid, well-supported, and is low-friction both for install and daily use.
It also has decent Nvidia support and Steam runs well on it, so (most) mainstream gaming is a real possibility here.
Corporate+Niche quadrant could be populated with dead systems that only hobbyists use. Amusingly, there’s too many to fit onto this chart.
Hah! No back issues, thankfully. Knees and neck on the other hand… Advil for joint and sinus inflammation, Aleve for muscle aches and cramps.
Quick question, is the pile of towels still around?
God I hope not. Once it rains, that’s a recipe for mildew and fungus if I’ve ever seen one. You can probably smell it for a mile in every direction, to say nothing of what that’s doing to Tom.
A few examples off the top of my head:
(why yes I’m of a certain age, why do you ask?)
Yup. That’s basically what happened with TikTok.
2/5 - Decent troll effort, but I’ve seen much better around here. Get gud.
AFAIK, Cialis and Viagra (and their generics) are prescription only. So you can’t just have a discussion with the pharmacist to get those.
I’m at the Pizza Hut.
I was gonna say. This idea has been floating around for decades.
Bottom line: Yes it will work. It will also involve transporting nuclear warheads to another country, which probably violates all kinds of treaties and will set governments everywhere into a panic of epic proportions. The knock-on effects of nuclear contamination will be a problem for the local population, local water table, and local ocean currents. You can bet your bottom-dollar that these, and possibly more, problems will be shouldered solely by the soon-to-be-god-forsaken masses of whatever country eventually okays this idea.
First I’ve heard of that. This is brilliant.
We have some monstrously large hurdles to clear in this regard. What’s working against a general strike:
To say nothing of all the illegal shit government and private business will do to end and/or prevent a strike.
It’s not impossible, but it does mean that any reasonable person would like to know that millions upon millions of others will be striking alongside them. Support networks for unemployed strikers along with strategies to deal with scabs would be a good start, too.
