They recommended 2 USB C + 1 USB A on their website as the most popular choice. I find myself using Type A more often with peripherals, flashdrives, & etc. So that’s why I was going with 2 USB A. But maybe I’m behind the times on that and aught to move forward.

2x4GB was a path I hadn’t considered, I may have a look at that avenue if not 2x8GB.

Thanks, probably Windows just for the sake of not worrying about being the one guy trying to figure out how to make a specific software work mid-class on Linux.

I’ll definitely make sure to shop around for that SSD. I’m a brief look I’ve found at least a 500GB model for the same FW is billing for 250 GB.

PCs. Gaming laptop underperform for price, are larger than non gaming laptops, and generally are less serviceable & durable. Just the entire market segment lags behind.

Here’s a few on reports:

-If you think it merits a report report it.

-If you’re unsure if it breaks a rule DM a mod.

-Idealy on a report write the rule # broken. If you’re typing past three sentences it’s may have unnecessary info.

-If someone is breaking a “don’t be mean” rule, the answer isn’t for you to break it too.

Here’s a few non report ways you can help:

-Set a positive tone.

-A lot of good posts/comments probably never get heard because people think it’s too lower effort or no one is interested.

-Crosspost to related communities to help people find related communities.

IMO that perception is just the result of the Internet being English language centric and Americans making up the majority of English speakers online. We have a disproportionate impact online. So whenever you hear about a Karen, she is probably in America because most of the time you hear about something it’s from America.

I haven’t seen data on the issue but I’d imagine the data would probably just reflect that humans are humans no matter where you are.

In my personal experience I haven’t seen this kind of behavior much, then again I don’t work retail.

As an American, is there a reason you can’t do this in your home country? Do they ban neon signs?

If you aren’t risk adverse I hear undersea welders make a ton.

Just now realizing for the first time slrpk.net doesn’t stand for “slurp k . net”

It’s a good song tbf

Fixed thanks!

Agreed on point 1 the answer is we all need to create more posts. We can’t expect others to do it for us.

Completely different angle towards the question but Metro 2033 (and sequels) might be a good source of inspiration. Not space themed but there might be some elements that can be a source of inspiration.

It’s about a post nuclear war Moscow where to survive humanity has set up a series of interlinked communities in the underground metro tunnels. The book talks a lot about the daily life in the stations. One is known for growing mushrooms used in tea. One was burnt down leading the rest of the system to strictly control fires. Another gained a reputation as a capital like station because it’s entrance was next to a university and government building.

Not a true hard sci fi book (has things like irradiated mutants) but a lot of thought went into the logistics of living in the metro.

This is only phase 1.

/s Just kidding you guys are great.

Jokes aside my American perspective is the solution isn’t cultural anti Americanism but cultural pro Canadianism. I think things like the Canadian Media Fund, that enable projects like The Long Dark which share Canadian culture, are a good path forward for you guys.

MASH hosted about 20 fleeing men and children in the first four months of 2013 before being shut down.

Glass half full. He probably made a massive difference in the lives of those 20 in those few short months. Maybe even turned some lives around.

John Wick is a great example of a Dex Paladin of Vengeance

No but I think we have one for UFOs

Sure. But only if your niche community is centered around a YouTube channel run by a man with a three musketeers looking mustache and ponytail who travels the globe to disassemble military prototypes.

Glad to hear it! And yes that is me. You’re making me feel like Lemmy’s second biggest celebrity, behind the android community moderator Margot Robbie. If you enjoy the posts don’t forget to check out the Forgotten Weapons YouTube channel & website.

The community is sort of a place for fans of the show to post stuff that other fans would enjoy, but it’s got a whole bunch of members who actually have found out about Forgotten Weapons through the Lemmy community first. I’m really glad to see people who find out about Forgotten Weapons from the community. It makes me feel like I’m giving back to Ian McCollum for everything I’ve learned from his show.

Thanks! User engagement is what keeps me going. Otherwise it feels like I’m just talking into a void.
