It’s been 22.3 years since 9/11 though.

Clbull, to asklemmy in Is it normal for your BP to rise after quitting

I’m inclined to say yes.

Alcohol is a depressant and going from heavy drinking to cold turkey is almost always a bad idea. It’s one of those things you need to gradually wean yourself off of. Alcohol withdrawal can legit kill people.

Smoking… I’ve known people who have quit it by going cold turkey.

Wait… Keanu Reeves if a boomer?

Clbull, to piracy in "Piracy is a service issue.." (Image is a real story btw, link in post)

Image comes from the monstrous work the Asahi Linux team did to get Netflix working on Linux on ARM Macbooks: asahilinux.org/2024/01/fedora-asahi-new/

There’s your problem. Using Linux is like using a dishwasher instead of a rice cooker to cook rice.

I have that problem with all kinds of shoes and trainers, regardless of the price tag. I bought a pair of Adidas Men’s Hoops 3.0 a few months back and to my surprise, the soles haven’t worn down on them yet.

But I feel like it’s only a matter of time until a hole starts developing in the soles, which means they’re gonna be waterlogged in any kind of wet weather.

Clbull, to linux in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

Does HML actually exist?

Clbull, to asklemmy in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

Ok, please do indulge me on this one, because this whole subject is an enigma to me and has been mentally eating at me over the years.

How do men and women meet in a nightclub and then end up having a one-night stand?

Part of the reason I don’t like clubbing is that it triggers feelings of jealousy within me.

I have a friend, let’s just call him Matt. Whenever I’ve been out with Matt, women have always thrown themselves at him whereas my experiences by comparison have led to nothing but rejection.

There is nothing particularly special about Matt. He’s a year younger than me, looks about average for someone in their early thirties, yet has infinitely more rizz. I can’t put my finger on it.

I go from being a socially awkward and unattractive virgin to suddenly being able to pull multiple women in a night.

I can’t tell if DeWalt is the Gryffindor or Slytherin of power tool brands.

Clbull, (edited ) to linux in Linux reaches new high 3.82%

I thought the performance hit was quite substantial, like 20% to 30% lower frame rates from using dxvk. Maybe things have improved?

Native Vulkan support is of course the holy grail but so few games support it. The only few I can think of are Valve games.

Not even World of Warcraft supports Vulkan, and they’ve supported OpenGL for so long.

Clbull, (edited ) to linux in Linux reaches new high 3.82%

3.82% is actually pretty damn good. And if Windows 12 pushes us into a subscription model I can see that gap rising.

Also, if/when DirectX gets native Linux support, or DXVK/VKD3D matches the API in performance, that’ll be it.

Personally I’m thanking Valve for this.

Clbull, to asklemmy in What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?

A lot of my stress disappeared when changing jobs. Before that, I was having a lot of sleepless nights and even had frequent brain zaps/hypnic jerks.

Clbull, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Sophie's choice 70s edition

I agree from both an animal welfare and public safety perspective that we need far stricter laws and regulations on dog ownership in general. But also I also think that some breeds are inherently more dangerous than others. For the American Bully XL in particular, we are talking a new pitbull-adjacent breed which has been bred for both aggression, intimidation and maximum muscle mass, both to skirt past existing legislation that bans American Pit Bulls, but also because all these traits appeal to the kind of irresponsible owners that just want an attack dog that looks 'aard as fuck.

We’re also deluding ourselves when we claim that a dog bred to resemble the canine equivalent of Brock Lesnar is a nanny dog and wouldn’t harm a fly, when in actuality losing control of a 145 lb jacked beast has even led to grown adults being mauled to death.

Clbull, (edited ) to asklemmy in What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?

My tendency to get walked all over. Recent events made me realise that I need to get a lot better at putting my foot down and telling people when there’s a problem.

To cut a week-long story short, my NYE plans to do pub karaoke (which I planned nearly a month in advance) got hijacked when another friend group decided to make alternate plans to go to the club and make one of my close friends cancel on me. This led to me being pressured by another close friend into cutting my original plans two hours short so that my friend group could all be together at midnight. Of course, the other group making the alt plans all pulled out on the morning of the 31st Dec, leaving me and my three other friends with tickets to go to a nightclub that I didn’t particularly want to go to.

I don’t like clubbing. Nightclubs are overcrowded, loud to the point where you literally can’t hear anybody and have to yell at the bartender to even order a drink, and they make me feel isolated. I also feel insecure about my physical attractiveness and jealous due to my inability to pull.

Botched NYE plans aside, 2023 definitely ended on a good note. I went from working in a crappy purchase ledger job, to facing layoffs, to escaping redundancy by finding a much better internal role that has honestly felt like a culture shock to me.
