Nope, humans have always been stupid. People said the same shit when the printing press was invented, or TV, or whatever.

Seriously, crack a history book. Modern times are actually pretty good, even with all the bullshit.

That Harvard article is what I linked above. It’s where I found that the HEPA filter on the intake works well to reduce bacterial spread.

Given the issue is fixed by putting HEPA filters on the intake of the dryers, it indicates the bacteria is coming from the air in the bathroom, not wet hands.

Why is there bacteria on your hands after you just washed them and rinsed with clean water?

It’s actually the opposite- the issue is they shoot bacteria onto your newly cleaned hands.

Yeah, it wins by default. I have to say though, I’ve had one for years now and aside from it noticing it not able to bitstream Dolby TrueHD (decoded internally and sent as LPCM) or play some forms of Dolby Vision content (falls back to HDR10), it’s worked flawlessly as a media appliance. Some minor connection issues with screen mirror airplay from laptop to TV or music airplay from phone to TV but not enough to keep me away. I have the first gen 4k and if a family member needed a streaming box I’d buy a used one off eBay and a new remote. A solid setup for cheap.

Set him up with NextDNS then.

Then there’s programs ran by the bases to offer financial relief even in no shutdowns, not sure how’d they ration their funds during a shutdown.

I haven’t seen programs run by the base themselves, but AER is Army Emergency Relief. They have a lot of money and will either give you a no or very low interest loan or often just give you a grant that you don’t have to pay back.

Ah, yeah you’re right. My bad. I believe there were threats of shutdowns but they never happened. Still got some emails from USAA about what to do in a potential shutdown AFAIK.

This happened during the Obama administration, I was active duty in those days. I think USAA and AER had some programs if you needed a check during the shutdown, not sure if that’s happening these days.

Wow, has it really been that long?

After Pink Floyd used it, the Hammerskins adopted the symbol. They’re a pretty big white power skinhead group. They even hold little neo Nazi music festivals.

Remember that shooting of the Sikh temple in Wisconsin? That guy was associated with the Hammerskins.

7800X3D is AM5 which is AMDs current socket. Of the choices presented, this is the most likely to be supported in the future, which is why I suggested this option.

I never suggested an AM4 setup, nor is it an option presented. I’m merely sharing an anecdote that my current 5800X3D is still very relevant for gaming, so I believe a 7800X3D will fare similarly.

2TB is SSD range now, is my point. Buying an HDD that small is kinda pointless. It’s massively outclassed in both speed and capacity by modern drives. It will be replaced quickly and end up being more expensive in the long run for more effort and a subpar experience.

I believe the price difference is made up by the current generation CPU and GPU, plus the fact AMD Is much more upgrade friendly with CPUs when they time comes. Also, X3D whips ass in games. I’m still rocking a 5800X3D and don’t feel behind the times whatsoever with my gaming rig.

I do not believe option 1 to be the value proposition for gaming, despite the significantly lower price.

Option 2.

Buying less expensive things can be more expensive in the long run. With option 1 you’re already behind the curve and will be needing upgrades sooner than option 2.

2TB HDDs, what is this the 2010s?

Get a 1TB SSD for OS/games and 10TB HDD for media/cold storage. Neither are particularly pricey these days.

Cruz was the sole objecting senator, who claimed without evidence that Wyden’s bill could disrupt law enforcement, “such as knowing where sexual predators are living.”

It’s not posted to some flavor of disappointing/rage community. You don’t see many negative things posted to a general pics sub.

I’d not be happy with that spot, but I can see how some people who don’t think things through could think it’s dope before actually sleeping a night there.

I don’t know if it’s unbelievable good or unbelievable bad from the title.

You don’t need planes in the air 24/7, you need good radar and radio detection equipment.

Regardless, my point is drones are neither high flying nor fast. They’re often able to be caught by helicopters, which also are not high flying or fast. Very high and very fast, simultaneously, is SR-71 levels of performance.

They are indeed hard to hit given their size.
