  • Landlord messaged again a second time after his mom left saying that he’s selling the place. He also sent a few messages bragging about how he’s not going to turn off utilities in response to me telling his mom to leave.

    He messaged again. Well the felon is coming back over apparently. Apparently the landlord has more stuff he wants him to get. The landlord messaged that right after work called me to see if I want some OT. I guess I have to choose between staying and reporting the guy (I don’t want to be getting charged if something happens between this guy and his gf) and getting paid. I’d prefer if he was actually sending people over for legit reasons but I guess I’m just supposed to accept the fact that 3 times in a 24 hour period different people are just going to be coming and going through my place, none with a proper notice (48 hours where I’m from, unless they are there for some kind of emergency repairs).

    I’m not sure if they are smart enough to actually give a legitimate eviction notice. The message that he sent me wouldn’t fly as one where I’m at.

    He’s basically just been stacking up a bunch of different behaviors and things that violate the tenant act here for the last year or so. I plan on definitely appealing the judgment with my copies of my payment information and correspondence from the landlord. If he tries to come up with an eviction that is for something wrong on my end of things instead of a no-cause one, I think his slumlord behavior wouldn’t look so great on his part. I think it would be a while before I need to get out because he’s not handling anything legally.

    Knowing him I think instead of giving an actual eviction notice he’s going to assume that some vague text he sent counts and then just call the police on me. All of that probably gives me a bit of extra time to save up some money for finding a better place to stay.

    Yeah sorry my thoughts are all a mess here I’m not sure if I’m properly describing the situation or getting across everything that’s happening but basically it’s been bad for a while. He doesn’t handle anything the correct way. It’s like he could have these people over all he wants if he would just send a message two days in advance and there wouldn’t be a thing I could do about it, but he doesn’t instead he freaks out when I’m not there to handle his guests or provide them access.



  • While I don’t know much about video cards, the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) is often called the first video card and had a couple of contenders for first that were either designed earlier or released at almost the same time in 1981 and were all for displaying text only. The first GPU card sold to the public was the GeForce 256 in 1999. I’m assuming there’s some in between that were not really used by the public that would have been used in movies and whatnot.

    The reason why nobody was selling GPUs before Quake was because quake was THE first 3D game. Doom and other games before Quake were 2.5D and didn’t have 3D models only sprites. Games before Quake essentially mimicked 3D while Quake IS 3D

    Depending on when you do it it’s possible there could be very little resistance or security in your way in some hypothetical situations. For example let’s say a court order goes through for FB to release something from their servers, if an independent person with no ties to the company suddenly decided to go after the servers a less than ethical organization might see that as a golden opportunity to do whatever would allow that to happen while still getting them caught afterwards. I’m just having a fun thought exercise

    the process still relies on fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a protein-rich growth supplement for animal cell cultures.

    FBS, which costs around £300 to £700 per litre

    That’s a fancy serum made from cow blood

    Also this all comes from a submission to an art museum in 2020, it’s not supposed to be an actual product it’s more of a proof of concept type of thing.


  • Since nobody pointed it out yet there’s also controversy because his friend was being inappropriate with and allegedly touching kids using the fact that they work with Mr beast. That just came out before all this. And Mr beast fired them, but there’s a lot of discord messages that Mr beast was in on as well where some of the inappropriate stuff towards kids was happening as well

    I’m sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.

    So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It’s almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn’t mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand





  • Solo had L3-37 who was presented as being a self made individual literally and she was also humanized with her body and movement being less stuffy and robotic and more human. I remember people complaining she was woke.

    Maybe it’s woke to advocate for someone having equal rights or wanting to be viewed equal to people when the story presents her as someone who is self-aware, capable of emotions, and desires freedom. She certainly uses a lot of terms that I guess people who are worried about wokeness might find off-putting.

    BUT, here’s the thing most of the time when she says that she wants fair treatment or equal rights it’s presented as a joke. Even her losing her body and the ability to freely move and pursue her own goals is treated as something of a happy ending. Remember the whole movie where she said she wants freedom and autonomy and how she’s a self made droid? Well now she’s shackled inside a computer with no ability to escape, but it’s a happy ending because the audience wasn’t meant to take her seriously.

    So in that the context of Solo the people who were complaining about wokeness were missing the forest through the trees, when the only messaging that could really be considered “woke” was something that was treated as a joke in the movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if people complaining about wokeness are just people who are upset if minorities or gay people exist and they use the term to hide behind and avoid outright saying it

    (I’m aware that there’s more Star Wars than just Solo, but I haven’t seen all the new stuff and was mostly using it as an example)
