You could also simplify by saying that assuming neither of them are dead, at some point while he is 44 she will be 42. Whether or not she is actually his sister seems to be irrelevant, she was stated to be his sister, so regardless of biological data, it is being presented as a fact assumption.

The space stuff is not currently possible and can be disregarded as well.

Not a lot of people were making $60k in 1985. And yes, wages today have absolutely fallen behind. I’m not even making $60k now.

Yeah my 15yo son is running an early i7 with DDR3 and a 1660ti at 1080/60 and he plays Roblox and chats with his friends on Discord, watches YouTube. He doesn’t care about upgrades at all and never spends money or buys games or anything.

I’ve still never seen Ep. III

I have a decent list of software I need it for unfortunately so I’m keeping my best PC on Windows, but I have four PCs in the house. I’ve been running Linux on one of them for a couple years but the other two will be moved over by Windows 10 EOL.

That trailer wouldn’t be able to support that rock either, but this is the Internet.

I’m going to have my B450 in the house until it stops working. My son will own it next.

It’s not that far back at all. Most events we know about, everyone who remembers it are dead. This idiot lives in many people’s memories today, and we’re still dealing with some of the consequences.

I know this post was from a few weeks ago. The PC is still working perfectly with its old PSU. My guess was the one case fan that was completely seized was drawing too much power or causing a short. I may still replace his PSU since I already have a good replacement, but I might wait until I have a GPU upgrade for him and just build a new rig for him. I pass my video cards down to my kids as I upgrade.

People in the comments had mentioned I didn’t really explain what it was doing. It would spin up the fans for about two seconds and then shut down, it wasn’t posting. That motherboard doesn’t have a code display, it will give beep codes for some errors but it wasn’t beeping, it just powered down. Whatever, it’s working well again, and as old as it is, it runs the games he plays very well at 1080p/60fps which is all his monitor supports so I’m not in a hurry to build him a new rig just yet.

Are working class people in Paris still armed?

You must start training early to gain this skill.

Not to mention “most people” wouldn’t fit in here or feel welcome. Remember Donald Trump won the popular vote and even those who didn’t vote didn’t feel strongly enough about either side to pick one or the other. It’s not just the US, far right candidates keep gaining popularity in parts of Europe. And I think a lot of people aren’t interested in Star Trek or trans rights. The niche communities have very low levels of activity too. The fediverse just isn’t for everyone.

They say if you eat enough of them, you gain the ability to walk on them barefoot.

If you can live on 85% then it’s an awesome opportunity, and super rare in the US. I’d be trying to find something to bridge the financial gap, some under the table gig or something because I already don’t make enough.

You don’t honk at Canada Geese, you just keep driving and they move at the last second.

There are some documented communications from Dems doing this. Of course Trump is doing it ten times as hard. Precedents matter, and this has been going on on a smaller scale since way before Biden. Probably back to Reagan or much earlier. Before social media it was controlling the major news outlets, although back then there were still a few independent journalists. Now independents get deplatformed.

They just keep getting more and more emboldened. They’re determined to control the narrative, and by they, really I mean oligarchs.

I thought there was supposed to be a boner somewhere in the reflection.

I’ve been tempted to give a Nazi solute when a police officer was trying to illegally force me to give ID when I hadn’t done anything wrong and they knew it and didn’t even claim to suspect me of a crime. It’s an ironic or protest solute, but a photo of me doing it would look bad, which is why I haven’t. Fuck authoritarianism.

I’ve worked six days most of my life. No, it isn’t good.
