Yeah nearly every time they end up on my side.

My latest issue that didn’t help at all with with a Verizon call to a CSR in India. She was a human robot reading a script. Didn’t listen to me at all just following her prompts. An AI would’ve done a better job.

There’s also people stealing (even reselling) necessities like toothpaste, deodorant and laundry detergent.

When I have an issue with a corp and have to talk to a human I start with an apology to that individual.

“Hey I have an issue with X about Y, but I have nothing against you as a person. You’re just trying to do your job and probably deal with a ton of verbal abuse. I apologize in advance if I get upset or use crude language during this call. Be aware that I’m not upset at you I’m upset at the company policies.”

If you ever see someone stealing food.
No you didn’t.

I’ve seen shoplifters stealing granola bars or chips before. Not said a word.

Stealing electronics? Fuck that person.

Oh I’m totally doing this. Thanks!!

Oh it looks like they added native support for docker just last year!

50 containers…

I hope I don’t go that crazy.

I’d need a WebUI at that point I can monitor from a Workstation.

The game runs a single core for your game session and multiplayer load. Limit of the game engine.

Happy wife happy life.

Valid observation. I was mainly excited about having an excuse to run a 24/7 server.

That’s! Once I get backups going I can rest my mind since I can avoid an angry wife. She’s the builder and if we lose our house…

Icarus is a little pricey but we both have hundreds of hours of playtime now. Worth it.

Takes a long time to level up but that’s not bad since you slowly learn more about the game as you unlock stuff.

Main tip is to start open world and then do missions from open world.
Its confusing since you need to level up a bit before you can build the contact device to even accept missions!

If you don’t start open world you need to restart your world every mission and that takes time.

So…

• start Open world
• Build a house.
• Mine some ore.
• build a furnace and smelt bars
• build contact device
• start actually playing

Well shit…

I checked and I had my meter plugged into the wrong device.

Idle is 19w still not bad!
That’s like 2 LED lightbulbs.

Thanks!

I’ve seen a few solutions like this but turned off by cost. This one looks good.

The intent of having a third machine is to allow either one of us to play without bothering the other.

She was hosting and if I wanted to play I’d have to poke her computer. It’s a gaming desktop so it also costs more to run.

This way I can play and leave her alone if she’s busy.

Yes the game is utter garbage for optimization.

Even the game dev recommends a dedicated server for multiplayer.

Its so bad that if you put a few hundred hours into single player you’ll end up with performance issues. It has to do with tracking all the changes to the open world. Trees cut, rocks mined and buildings. Link

My electricity costs are among the highest in the USA due to my location. Also surge pricing in the summer due to everyone running air conditioning. This was on a second gen i7 which was a 125w cpu and 1070TI I think. Running nonstop as a seedbox, network share, Plex server and more.

I eventually intend to start some funny stuff I wanted a full OS for.

If I shift my end goal to run in a container then that would make more sense.

I initially went for Debian because I had a deadline for us to get back to gaming together.

I’ve seen loads of people use proxmax. As a windows admin I wanted a OS as a stepping stone.

I run Brazzite on my gaming rig and mint on my daily driver laptop now. Getting there.

That’s horrible. I can’t imagine going through that.

Glad you’re alive. Thank you for sharing.

So they passed laws for emissions and fuel efficiency of passenger vehicles to help with pollution.

These laws force MPG ratings on sedans and SUVs. But they’re looser for trucks. Car manufacturers realized its also looser since its calculated by weight.

So these fuckers decide to build SUVs on pickup truck frames and make pickups even bigger so they don’t have to tighten up the fuel efficiency…

This is one of the main reasons there are so many bigger class vehicles being made now.

Add in all the new LED headlights. Which are too bright because the regulations are outdated based on wattage instead of lumens.

So you have taller vehicles with brighter headlights blinding everyone.

I’m at the point where I’m aiming for a SUV instead of a sedan for my next car…

I’d rather be hit by that at 20 MPH instead of a full duty lifted pickup with a fresh shiny paint job on chrome wheels (mall crawlers)

I don’t think pickup trucks should be banned. They should be commercial use only. It’s not a family car or a daily driver.

This needs to be updated.

Getting hit by a pickup truck at 30 MPH is similar to getting hit by a Honda Civic at 120 MPH for kinetic energy.

That’s besides the fact that pickups have a much taller hood vs sedans so there are significantly higher rates of head/internal injury.

Taller cars and trucks are more dangerous for pedestrians, according to crash data
