Can someone help me with numbers re: inflation versus the real bread milk eggs economy? Need to crush Lib economics perverts with facts and logic.
  • I looked and it seems like egg prices spiked the most in 6/7 of the swing states from 2022-2023:

    https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/egg-prices-by-state

    The data source is a paywalled business insider article, but it's got an archive link

    granted it's a website run by like 1 guy with a secondhand source (BI is citing an Instacart study) but if it's accurate it means that 3 of the top 10 states for egg prices are swing states (Nevada, Arizona, Georgia) , and if you look at inflation per dozen eggs per state Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are also in the top 10. All of those states also have low minimum wages (Arizona's an outlier at like 13 bucks but every other swing state, it's $10 or the federal minimum).

  • Someone give me a quick run down on AMD vs Nvidia on Linux
  • AMD. Had horrible problems with Nvidia drivers on a rolling release distro, haven't run AMD with one but it's been smooth sailing ever since I switched. Running a 5600xt, plays Death Stranding at 1080 pretty competently.

  • Could you imagine being Greek and meeting a Christian in, like, 80 AD?
  • IIRC people in that part of the Roman empire commonly spoke Greek because of Alexander the Great's conquest of the area centuries earlier. So you'd be more likely to run into someone bilingual in Aramaic and Greek than you would Aramaic and Latin

  • What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • The timing of the click captcha loading is randomized and it probably is looking for human-ish cursor movement? (Like you're probably moving your hand in imperceptibly small ways that are difficult to replicate). Clicking before it loads and doing it repeatedly probably triggers detection.

  • You know rent is about to go up when the millennial grey, minimalist, raw dog food delivery service boutique opens up in your neighborhood
  • Doodle crosses are a genuine negative for society. I have lived with a standard (full size) poodle and they are really great dogs, but they're absolutely not a good fit for most dog owners. Poodles love attention. And they like barking for attention. A standard poodle (the most likely cross) barks at about 120db. Absolutely everywhere. Outside, enclosed spaces, right in front of your goddamn face. This is about 35 db louder than the threshold for hearing damage, and the decibel scale is logarithmic. I feel that largely burgerlanders do not train their dogs well and because of that, we have people who are constantly exposed to hearing-damage levels of sound multiple times a day inside their own living spaces. They can also be pretty intolerant of kids and they get nippy.

    A poodle cross can combine those negatives with all the negatives of the breed they're crossed with. For example, I've also lived with a purebred Golden Retriever. This dog had seperation anxiety and chewed through a panel from a door in a night. But hey, at least they don't make you sneeze, right?

  • You can't take it with you, but you can't leave it for someone else either: Valve says you aren't allowed to bequeath a Steam account in a will
  • I wouldn't suppose that people are required to inform steam that they're dead. Therefore, I'd assume the easiest way to bequeath games/DLCs, etc, is to get a wishlist from your loved ones, and then gift all of those games prior to death on a credit card that you might not be able to pay, due to being dead. Steam gets the money, the CC company gets shafted. Alternately, share your credit card details with a loved one and that list, and have them order within hours of your death (this depends on whether or not you were plausibly alive when those CC transactions took place)

  • I quit today.
  • fidel-salute Hell yeah. It's good the apprentice got to see it too - people can be so scared for their jobs that seeing people standing tall for what they believe in is too rare. Hopefully they'll be willing to do what's right when the time comes. Congrats on the new job!

  • Troop Wife moves to Germany, shocked when Germans don't appreciate her presence.
    www.businessinsider.com I moved to Germany and regret it. I've felt unwelcome by the people, and not even the great healthcare can convince me to stay.

    Stephanie Vollmer said that her healthcare and safety were better in Germany than in the US, but she said that she often experienced microaggressions.

    Has some other pretty good nuggets there; esp complaints about the cost of gas and gasp, shock horror the lack of big box stores and 2-day shipping.
