Ireland is probably the friendliest I’ve been too. The Irish are great people.

Rome (I know, not a country, but I can’t comment on the rest of Italy) is probably the least friendly place I’ve been to. Romans are assholes. It’s a very cool city, but the people, especially outside of tourist traps suck.

The Japanese are very polite, respectful, and helpful (almost to a fault) but I’m not sure if I’d generally describe them as friendly.

I would have thought transmen would prefer Python.

!because of it’s clearly phallic naming!<

PETG is very hygroscopic. It’s one of those filaments that you should dry before using every time. Even if it’s a freshly opened package.

Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I’d actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory’s breakfast burritos.

For an additional gender neutral option, your butthole is almost as unique as your fingerprints, to the point that unless you have an identical twin it’s reasonable to assume that no one else shares your specific butthole print.

Depending on your setting and desired outcome for the poisoner, uraninite (aka pitchblende) might be an option. It has historical uses in glass making and pottery glazing, which could provide justification for why someone would have it.

It contains Uranium, which is radioactive, but I don’t believe will bioaccumulate, but can build up on surfaces, tools, and clothing providing a source of long-term radiation exposure. In addition, it contains lead, which does bioaccumulate, providing a source of gradual long term poisoning as well as radium which also bioaccumulates and is radioactive, providing an additional source of longterm radiation exposure.

We have twink primarchs already. Fulgrim on the Chaos side and Sanguinius on the loyalist side.

Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.

I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.

“I’ll have you know there’s no pusseeee!”

But have you tried pizza on pineapple? A grilled pineapple slice with all of your pizza toppings on it.

I kind of want a Subaru Baja with that on the doors.

Pretty much everything from Weird Al.

Indeed, I’ve been exclusively running Fedora KDE on both my desktop and my laptop for a little over a year. It took all of maybe an hour to get it installed on both, get steam and all of the applications I wanted installed, and be ready to start downloading games on both computers.

I also have yet to find a game, aside from games with kernel level anticheat and a small handful of VR titles that isn’t perfectly playable. Some have needed a little bit of tweaking to run optimally, but if you’re a PC gamer that’s par for the course.

I think it depends more on your instructor rather than the region you’re in. When I was in HS I took two years of Spanish and our teacher was from Spain, so her instruction was in line with that.

Probably Norway, Finland, or Sweden. At the risk of potentially offending all Scandinavians, in terms of the things I personally care about, all three countries can be considered as essentially the same. They all check pretty much all of my boxes. They all have ideal (meaning Arctic or subarctic) weather, they’re in a particularly beautiful part of the world, politically and socially they generally align well with my values, hiking and other outdoor activities are readily available, and while it’s not the primary language, English is broadly spoken to a high degree of fluency in all three countries. Meaning I wouldn’t have to struggle to communicate while trying to learn the local language.

In terms of a degree, I don’t currently have one, but I generally enjoy the field I currently work in, so I’d probably go for either a general computer science degree or something more focused on system administration. Possibly with a minor involving some electrical engineering courses.

Based on standard US drinks, 1-2 drinks does absolutely nothing. 6-7 is enough for a decent buzz with no noticeable effects the following morning. At around 10 it starts to get uncomfortable and by 12 the room starts spinning. At basically any of those levels I’ll have no real hangover beyond a dry mouth at the extreme end, unless the drinks were overly sugary, like a sweet wine or sugary mixed drink. In which case I’ll have a mild headache as well.

The only real exception to that is tequila (in any amount), or anything with agave in it. I am allergic to agave and it leaves me with a sore throat and a headache that makes suicide seem like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Though in terms of intoxication it acts like any other alcohol of comparable strength.

I also don’t drink often, 3-4 times a month at most. I have a fairly high baseline tolerance. That also extends to a lot of meds, particularly anesthetics and anxiety meds, which has been a problem in medical environments.

Something Volcano related, possibly involving a ring and a couple of short men. One of whom is a goddamn hero.

To cover all possible HEDT use cases? I’d probably go with a 4U server chassis with dual Epyc 9575F’s, 1TB of RAM, 6x 8TB u.2 NVME drives, 6x 20TB SAS HDDs, 3x dual port 100Gb Fiber NICs, and 3x dual port USB 4 cards. Then for GPUs go with 1x 7950xtx, 1x RTX 5090, and 1x Radeon Pro V710.

Then I’d divide the CPU cores and RAM between three VMs running on Proxmox, with the number of cores and amount of RAM each VM gets being based on the specific workload. I’d use PCI pass through for the NVME Storage, NICs, USB cards, and GPUs which would be split evenly between the VMs. The SAS storage would get one dynamically sized VHD for each VM.

Then I’d have the 7950xtx VM run Fedora. I’d use it for gaming and everyday use.

The V710 VM would run RHEL. I’d use it for development and AI workloads.

The 5090 VM would run Windows 11. I’d use it for video editing, CAD, rendering, and other graphically intense pro workloads.

The PC itself would be water cooled, with the radiator on the door of the rack and a rackmount AC unit blowing chilled air through it. The exhaust from the AC and the PC case fans would be ducted outside.

For access to the VMs, I’d use a rack mount USB4/DP KVM switch and USB4 fiber cables to three docks on my desk connected to appropriate monitors, keyboards, and mice for their respective tasks.

For access to the PC itself, I’d use a rack mount terminal and an additional low end GPU, probably an Intel ARC card of some sort.

All of that would cost somewhere in the realm of $100,000 USD. Not to mention the fact that I’d have to buy and probably remodel a house to accommodate it.

Painting naked is the best way to paint though.

No risk of getting paint on your clothes.
