Mythic Quest. Created by Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day (Mac and Charlie from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia), stars Rob McElhenney and Danny Pudi (Abed from Community). It's been on my back burner for a while because the description didn't sound that great. Now I'm wishing I hadn't slept on it for so long.

If you've been considering it, just watch the first episode. You will be instantly hooked.

laws have to apply to people I dislike as much as they apply to people I like.

Is that the case today?

I like the plan, but I would caution relying on obscurity as protection. This is the 8th largest Lemmy instance (by active users, per Fediverse Observer), and people have been much more petty before.

I appreciate that people are correctly labeling it as a threat. Far too many have used overly soft language to downplay what's going on.

I can't find references, at all, to XTX being a manufacturer, but I do see it as a trim line on the RX7900.

Depending on where you found this, my guess is that it's mislabeled. That would also explain why you can't find any info about it.

I'm surprised trans is over 1% of the general population. Last time I saw figures on that, it was about 2 orders of magnitude smaller.

It's true for all brands, but especially true for Lenovo - the enterprise machines are nothing like the consumer-grade crap.

A lot of people will incorrectly shorten it, and even pass it on with the error. But the advice isn't to get a Lenovo; it's to get a Thinkpad. Do not get an IdeaPad, or whatever other names they use for the cheap crap. Get a Thinkpad.

It's a similar story with HP's Omen vs Elitebook and Dell's Inspiron/Vostro vs Latitude. The enterprise line is very different in every way.

This report draws no distinction between them, as evidenced in the one section that lists models.

As for repairability, I've always found it easy to find the HMM for Thinkpads. My experience is limited, but they've also been relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble.

Is the chart accurate? Do we have a source?

I ask because I don't see where social security would fit at all, and I suspect that Medicare/Medicaid would be a larger portion than the 5% listed for health.

You're really telling me that if you lucked into a million dollars at age 18, you could retire to West Virginia and safely live to 107? Even ignoring inflation and the like, that's barely over $11k per year. Do you expect us to believe that's a living income anywhere in the US? That's not even a living income when you're 18 and have 3 roommates.

I know the hard sciences aren't a strong suit around these parts, but do some very basic math. 55 billion divided by 5,000 is 11 million.

There's no way to "No True Scotsman" the number of Americans down to 11 million. So how will they decide who gets the money?

I think we already know...

If you were to ask what is the largest, most powerful air force in the world, it should come as no surprise that the answer is the US Air Force.

But what if you were to ask what is the second largest air force in the world? You might expect the answer to be China, maybe Germany, etc. But you would be wrong. The second largest air force in the world is the US Navy.

This is why it's so important that every other country view the US as a threat. It gets even worse if the US were to ally itself with another threat, such as Russia.

Fortunately, all of the developed countries could start a military buildup under the guise of "pulling their own weight"/independence from the bloc without raising alarms among the US fascists.
