At least where I live the elderly can’t lose their house from failure to pay housing taxes.

Right, I guess maybe high crime areas have this problem? I drove from Kansas to South Florida last year and there were public restrooms literally everywhere we stopped.

Gmail isn’t social media. My doorbell gives me notifications. Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc are not allowed to give me notifications no matter how much they protest about it.

What the heck, what does a knock off Intel CPU even look like? Who is making them and more importantly, how?

I use Firefox at home, and have been for awhile now. But Chrome is the standard at my work, so I’m stuck developing our UIs to work on Chrome.

My wife’s response, verbatim, she thinks it’s hilarious that I mentioned it here. “Okay, so it was explained that Lord V didn’t actually care about pure blood, he was a mud blood himself. That was just to get the pure blood families on boar

“Manacled Harry Potter” will get you where you want to be. Warning, we ate cold sandwiches for a few days until she was done reading it!

Haha I asked my wife. She said Manacled is what you want to search for.

But Chrome desperately needs to tell you it’s Earth Day or Indigenous People’s Day or something equally unimportant with a breathless enthusiasm that would make a Southern Baptist Preacher on a Telethon blush. I’ve finally hit a wall with “

I mean quite frankly so what? My wife just read a thousand page fan fiction set in the Harry Potter world where the Death Eaters won, Harry Potter is dead, and Draco Malfoy has been assigned to Hermione for “breeding purposes”. The premise

Don’t you think in the long term this would result in better source code and hardened software, similar to what’s happened with the Linux source code? Right now the NSA just has all the 0days instead.

Due to some disagreements in the vim community about typing blimpy not being a priority, I believe you have to download blimpyvim to get this working.

Today I asked ChatGPT to implement an oauth 2.0 token flow for me in bash. I tweaked a few parameters so it’d feed directly from a settings file in the folder I’m running it from. Then I realized we needed it in powershell, I pasted the twe

They won’t penalize you financially BUT they will report the missed payment to credit reporting agencies.

Affirm has autopay and the loan terms are crystal clear. I certainly could structure my payments of the credit card like that but out of sight out of mind. And the answer is because I am only 98% a rational human being. The other 2% is a we

I know, I know, I can talk all day about being rational but then I REALLY want an RTX 4090 (to learn machine learning of course! Trust me bro! Then I just play video games on it and oh why not upgrade the rest of the computer, as an aside p

I do use them! I just wasn’t using them in a healthy way. I took a picture and am paying them off then plan on using them to pay bills then pay the balance every month. Before I would just swipe the card and make minimum payments and watch

I had bad credit (grew up poor, learned terrible habits, getting better) for a long time and Affirm has been great. I do the every 2 weeks no interest loans and I love it compared to credit cards where I’d just irresponsibly carry a balance

A 3090 with 24GB of vram is $650 used on Facebook where I live. I think that would be a better card as you can use nvlink. Alternatively, the 4000 series cards rely on the PCI express lanes for linking, so if you want to get the benefits o

You can snag them on Ebay[0], the A100 with 40GB is ~$5000, the 80GB is like $13,000, good luck, hope it doesn’t break, since you’re not getting a warranty! [0] https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=a100+40gb

I literally just replaced my GTX 970 a week ago. Fantastic GPU, lasted me a good ten years. Baldur's Gate 3 finally got me to update it, which it could run it but I dunno a new game got me excited. It ran Elden Ring just fine last year

“Highest level ever…” since 2014 is such weasel words. What did wage inflation look like in the 1980s? It’s also weird because the article seems to posture that wanting a higher wage for yourself contributes to inflation, but it’s the most

What the heck? I have 24 flagged posts and don’t remember even having the ability to flag until recently. I often hit the hide button so maybe I’m accidentally flagging stuff instead of hiding it? Maybe you do similar? Thanks for pointing i

When I wear it I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like I am suffocating. Like it’s smothering me in my sleep. Even the expensive biPAP makes me feel this way. I have no such issues when I sleep without one.
