Smack dab in the middle where he belongs

It would be hard for speedrunners to make action on those 3.05ms, but they would notice it. I can feel when an image is choppier than it can be.

It’s not the end of the world, I’m finding lower frame rates aren’t as frustrating as I remember now that I’m doing a lot of work on the steamdeck and rog ally. 45 is as low as I’ll go on games that are pretty though. A lot of my early time in a game is spent tweaking and finding maybe 2 ‘best’ configurations, one for higher frames and one for better visuals and make my decision from there on what I can comfortably tolerate.

I only tip if someone had to do something to get me that food/experience. Picking up food to take home? No tip. The restaurant makes you get your own food from the counter and do your own refills? No tip. The checkout screen might have a tip, but I’m putting 0.

It’s not really your personal responsibility, it’s the restaurant owners responsibility. If people aren’t getting enough tips in a restaurant where tips are the big draw, and that causes wait staff to quit, the restaurant owner should be paying his people to subsidize that.

15-20% also is not a hard rule. There’s a lot of places where I live that try to pass off costlier food in shitty atmosphere (think 30 dollar entrees, but the server sees you twice and it’s a “theme” restaurant). If I think someone did well and engaged with us as customers and were pretty good about making suggestions on the menu or being extra attentive to drink refills, then guaranteed they’re getting within that 15-20%. Anything less than that, then I as the customer who only gets to make that judgement call off of the limited interaction we have, and you’ll get 7-10% or 5 bucks, whichever is bigger.

They’re just inventing a final boss for the orcas, right?

Shit now that you mention it, my bananas do be looking pretty edible right about now.

I love bananas. I have tried breaking free many times, and failed. They’re set to be about half the price of apples, always, direct from the company. The Chiquita banana corporation also funded union-busting activities for those that were collecting the bananas, and by union busting I mean they paid a paramilitary force to terrorize farmers and farmhands back into poor working conditions. They also have a long history of destabilizing local economies and governments to ensure their superiority in the region.

But damn if they don’t just get you with the taste and cost

Fuck, that one hurt lol. I love that toad in those movies is just a guy who is generally sticky and spits. There could be a character there, but we let him talk once in rehearsal and said that was enough.

I mean, the only part I wrote was the question, and then the bit at the bottom where I draw parallel. If you don’t like the definitions, they’re copy and pasted from those sources, so feel free to write and tell them how you feel on it.

I also think Merkel needed removed sooner, and I definitely don’t believe the current system of government in the US is benefiting them at this time.

I was asking a question, you’re the one drawing inferences. But I do appreciate that you answered the question and gave examples.

With your answer in mind, would you really say that lifting the term limits by a government that has ACTIVELY put down dissent as well as blocked and criminalized images of said politician being compared to a children’s book character is actually democratic?

What is the worst thing she says in this movie?

There’s already some downvotes on comments criticizing this statement.

Can someone with an opinion that Xi Jinping is NOT a dictator please weigh in on what that’s about?

Please, also argue with the following definition in mind or supplement your own so that I know what exactly we’re all defining that as

From Dictionary.com

noun a person exercising absolute power, especially a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession

From Merriam Webster

dictator noun dic·​ta·​tor ˈdik-ˌtā-tər dik-ˈtā- Synonyms of dictator 1 a : a person granted absolute emergency power especially, history : one appointed by the senate (see SENATE sense 1b) of ancient Rome b : one holding complete autocratic control : a person with unlimited governmental power c : one ruling in an absolute (see ABSOLUTE sense 2) and often oppressive way (fascist dictators)

From my understanding, after the events of 1980s in China (see Tiananmen Square, fall of Mao, communist party appointment, market reform) that there would be an election instead and each president would serve 5 years with the option to renew once to serve a total of 10 years. In 2013 they allowed that rule to be lifted to allow Xi Jinping to ‘rule for life’. Isn’t that absolute power held at the top of a government body being never-ending pretty much exactly what a dictator would be?

This thread details the clause specifically that discusses transfer. I’m not positive if the 1 year hardware warranty is included, it doesn’t seem to be based on the language others pointed out.

No, yeah, the opening of the device is more so a “did they replace/damage anything” and less of a warranty problem. Second hand sale is what stopped warranty

Warranty is not transferable. You’ll want to check along the edges for any tool marks. If it’s been opened and had anything replaced, unless they’re better than 99% of the DIY steam deck crowd, they left small traces of getting past the backplate.

Watch a video or two on how to replace the SSD, and go looking for marks around the areas people said are easier to slide things into to pry the plate off. If you want to open it yourself, you can also check the screws for any marks as well as ensure there’s no glaring issues with the internals in case they tried to replace the joysticks or something. Valve was pretty clean with mine, every screw pretty much pristine.

I dont know man. New steam deck 64gb goes for 300 new, top 512gb ssd not for more than a hundred or so on the higher end, and an SD card in that size ranges from $40-90.

Are they paying you for labor in having swapped the SSD on a new steamdeck? Because I wouldn’t buy used, gently used or not, for roughly the same price as new.

On one hand, sure we could all do with some rules on civility.

However, people who support Russian claim to Ukrainian territory (not those that support and end to suffering, there’s some nuance there) are, to me, despicable. In the same vein that we must not tolerate intolerance, I don’t see that position as a viable position to take.

I’m all for vitriol when pointed at a handful of pre-selected targets. You can hate nazis, you can hate pro-russian pundits, and you can hate the guy who sold Ea-Nasir that bad quality copper in 1750 b.c.

Oh good, I was worried they’d lowered the severity. Nope, just worse than originally assumed I guess.

Mine arrives in the mail today. It does not come with a dock.
