Says here SGI demoed the coprocessor to both Nintendo and Sega. Sega bowed out after their engineers found / perceived problems with the SGI design. I do not remember any behind the scenes article about the realtionship between Nintendo and SGI but having heard a lot of stories, I suspect the read would be entertaining ...

I personally know someone who uses something he calls "Dutch reach-around" and while I'm hazy on the details, I know it starts with some complex setup of a charitable foundation in your home country, with real people and real money and a network of firms and other foundations in the Netherlands that are somehow interwoven. He told me "setup is cheap, only 5 million dollars up front, you can ask my tax attorney for the deets"....

That was a nice move, but no thank you, this is not the kind of money I have lying around.

Bonus how us firms do it, I imagine this costs also a lot of money up front...

Identification of this virus began in 1973, here is an article about it from 1997. - I suppose a lifetime supply of immunosuppressants is far more profitable than the system you are proposing.... but I like your system. It just is more elegant.

Out of morbid curiosity I read the whole speech, and holy cow is this chock full of fascist dog whistles disguised as faithy redderick.

How is this possible to live a life this removed from reality and basic decency ? !??

I think he meant an over time aquired food allergy. Esp. Older folks seem to get them -like me- one can test with a Serum specific IgE in vitro Test. There are over the counter test one can buy relatively cheap.

I did one recently, turned out I was allergic to garlic of all things (among others). Advice is to stay off it for 4-6 months then slowly reintroduce. Life is wild sometimes.

As someone who switched to Linux, and found reasons not to for literal decades, this has helped me:

Have a second ssd in your PC that is untarnished by the windows bootloader.

This way one can easily switch via BIOS / UEFI and no other annoying software.

Dual booting is also less annoying, if you switch via boot menu. It lets you test drive and configure Linux anytime you're in the headspace for it and reduces pressure on yourself.

Install linux on it. My current favorite for your situation would be Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Spin (what a mouthful). Have another exfat partitioned usb disk ready for file exchange with windows. Again, this makes handling windows easier, has nothing to do with linux.

Nvidia on fedora works good enough. third party repos also help a lot.

streamdeck is wonderful hardware, I know a friend who uses it daily with streamdeck_ui

  • same with GoXLR Configuration Utility. Software is there, the only question is does it work for you.

This is to my knowledge as close to "official" as you can get. Good luck on your journey!

Can definitely recommend waiting for the sale, but also there are higher resolution backgrounds, making the game more visually appealing.

That mechanic looks like a game about a mermaid I played on iPad ten or so years ago. I cannot remember the name but it was like a cozy adventure game, I loved it so much...

Will definitely check this one out, thanks!

Link for the lazy - like me. That was amazing + interesting, thank you for the recommendation!

LOL I feel you. Had my fare share of run-ins with CEOs and today I'm convinced 90% of them plus all of middle management could be replaced by an LLM.

Interesting article. Newer numbers (2023) are 37.200 Mt CO~2~ yearly human civilisation output. "Private" cars count around 10% of that (which to my knowledge includes vans driven by tradesmen and "independent" delivery drivers among other uses, vastly distorting the impact of individual car ownership), aviation between 2 and 20% depending on which "emissions factor" the counting organization attaches to it. The IEA numbers vary between 2-4%.
