Oh yeah, I completely misread your original comment. You're right.

Doctors strike in India after rape and murder of trainee medic at hospital

Or as they call it in India... "Tuesday."

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

Former server, but still: no-tippers stung for about five minutes but I almost always forgot about them by the end of the night. The only times I'd remember if someone didn't tip was if they'd made a fuss beforehand, but if you were quiet and just didn't leave a tip, I'd assume you just didn't have the money and forget about it.

Most servers won't tell you this, but they're usually making several times over what they'd realistically be getting for a wage (think $20-$50/hr on a given night). One table isn't killing them.

Tipped employees generally make way more than anything they'd realistically get on a wage but yeah counter staff gets the worst of it. Shitty wages and they have to deal with people like me who specifically ask where's the "no tip" button on the screen

I got a coffee the other day on a date night. Girl (I can say that, she had her pronouns on her nametag) turned the iPad around for me to pay. I shit you not, the options were 0%, 25%, 50%, and "100% if [barista's name] knocked it out of the park today!" Who tf is falling for that?

Never liked carbonated drinks with a straw anyway. Something about it just fucks up the texture

Night Lovell is great, I remember finding him while just clicking on random videos circa 2016, I'd never really heard anyone quite like him. Found out recently that he signed to G59's label and is pretty big now, which I'm glad to hear

The Tripolar World is real. If your country isn't America, Russia, or China, it exists as a proxy state of one of the aforementioned

The article isn't "Trump may or may not debate Harris," it's "Trump said 'I may or may not debate Harris.'" Two different articles, one deserving to be printed and the other not.

I wonder what the impact of weight loss drugs will be once they hit the mainstream. Those things are just normal (but very effective) appetite suppressants. Combine 20+ years of bad PR with a real way for people to curb their very real psychological addictions to fast food and I can actually see a future where we look back on today's fast food like we do to whatever the fuck the 1970s thought about jell-o

Nah I love big box brutalism. Gimme gimme gimme all those long, labyrinthine, resource-conscious angular concrete buildings. Just looking at my campus's inexplicably brutalist administrations office was my favorite part of university

 
 

It's not a tech support group FFS!

 

Title is a bit redundant; I can't see how anybody could read the book and not come away as a fan, but I'm just wondering if there's anyone on Lemmy who's read it.

What do you think? I'd love to meet some other fans of DFW.

EDIT: Wow, this was an exercise in humility

Turns out, when i disconnected my PC display cables before the hardware swap, my monitors were still on and swapped inputs from Display Port to HDMI. When I was swapping cables and checking connections, I didn't even think to check that the monitors were set to input the right connection.

I'll be leaving this post up for anyone else in the future who might find themselves in my position. Check your monitors input!


~~A few days ago, I made a post about being gifted a EVGA 3090 RTX from my brother-in-law and was asking for help figuring out what I'd need to upgrade to run the new card from my 1070. Here is a link to that post. Before this week, it had been about seven years since I'd looked into computer hardware, and even at my best-researched I was never super knowledgeable on the subject. You all said that most of my components would be great, but I upgraded my PSU to a Corsair RM1000X 1,000-watt unit.~~

~~Since installing my GPU (Literally fifteen minutes ago), I'm getting no video from any of the outputs. The PC seems to be powering on fine because the lights on my peripherals are working. Just to be clear, the screen doesn't flash and then go black, I'm getting no video at all.~~

~~I followed this video 100% before removing my old GPU. The last thing I did was run a DDU before shutting down the system.~~

Obligatory system specs:

  • Ryzen 9 5900x CPU

  • EVGA 3090 RTX GPU

  • MSI Tomahawk B550 MoBo

  • 32gb RAM

  • Corsair RM1000X PSU

 

Title pretty much tells you all you need to know about my situation. In a turn of events tonight I've been gifted a used but working EVGA 3090 card to replace my seven year old 1070.

My current system hardware specs are:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core (upgraded from Ryzen 5 last year)

GPU: MSI 1070

MoBo: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK

PSU - Corsair CX-550 550 Watt

x4 8GB Installed Memory

I also have a 2tb SSD drive with my OS and games installed, and 4 8tb HDD for media.

My main concern is with needing to replace my MoBo with a x3 PCi board and worries about my PSU not being powerful enough. I'm not particularly worried about my tower is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro PH-ES614PC_BK.

Thanks in advance!

 

So this isn't directly related to patientgaming but my hardware and personal tastes kind of filter me to playing games no newer than five years old.

I'm looking for some recommendations for games that can be completed within ten hours. I've realized recently that this is the sweet spot how much I enjoy playing a game before I get bored of it. I'm open to all types of games. Thanks in advance!

 

It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?

Feel free to answer if you're in the opposite scenario: an artist who you love personally but don't enjoy their artwork.

Feel free to respond more than just music artists!
