Even if you assume the price of the property doesn’t change, it comes down to whether the interest on the mortgage plus property taxes and other fees is more or less than the rental amount (plus any other fees).

Though if the price goes up, even that might not matter. That said, I do hope the housing situation improves, which would realistically involve prices going down instead of up.

And then a fork of the two kings wins the game, unless you can take the forking piece.

It’s hopped up on so much meth, even it doesn’t have any idea where it went.

And the distanceraptor that got tired of all the interplanetary travel and the tourists it brought and said “GO AWAY!”

Do they need consent from the owner of the house or home? If it’s a rental, the landlord owns the house but it’s the tenant’s home.

Though it’s always kinda messy turning a human-made rule or idea into a physical law.

Is there a playability list for AAA games that shows which ones are worth playing?

I wonder if a drone that can fire silly string or fishing line could reliably jam up propellers.

I was surprised to see the 9070 xt at about double the 6800 xt performance in benchmarks, once ones with both of those started coming out.

I got it because I also see that if China does follow through with an attack on Taiwan, PC components are going to become very hard to find and very expensive while all of that production capacity is replaced. And depending on how things go after that, this might be the last GPU I ever buy.

You’ve never been tempted to get the most extreme version of something when you only need a simple one when the inertia to get either was similar? Or ended up with a tool far more powerful than you needed because you weren’t sure about the difference when you first got it and by the time you realized, you were already used to the advanced tool and just kept using it?

Plus, I’ve found the free calculator apps to be a bit disappointing when I’ve tried them, though I haven’t looked in a while.

Yes, but they used it because their parents wouldn’t get them a scientific calculator. At least that’s the impression I got.

They said “scientific” calculator, not “graphing”. As in their parents weren’t willing to spend that $20 (or less) for what I’d consider the most basic useful calculator.

Anti cheat notification on the store page is effectively an anti buy for me.

Do you use an add-on to prevent that from wiping out all but one window’s worth of tabs when you close them? That’s what originally made me get a tab grouping addon, after losing a ton of tabs when I broke some out into their own window and then later closed the main tab window before the secondary one. Realized immediately what happened but it was already too late to save that entire generation of precious tabs. Who knows what articles I didn’t feel like reading at the time but was totally going to read later I lost forever.

If you’ll refer to form S-43.0 through 681, you will see that each sample was taken, registered, and filed. Scientists will then be able to request access to each sample using forms S-48 and B-2250 and can then perform analysis if they also provide forms A-6654.2 and D-12.8, though D-12.8 is only required if the analysis is destructive. If the analysis results in the destruction of the entire sample, you’ll also need to file a D-12.4 along with an S-40 request for a replacement sample, which might also require an E-36 expedition request.

Is that method different from using the hot keys to swap layouts? Like can I tell it to always use that mapping for that game or do I need to remember to run it each time I play the game and then set it back after I’m done (or automate that)?

Actually, there is one thing that is an annoyance that I haven’t been able to resolve. I use dvorak as my main layout.

Sometimes games get the keyboard right and keys are remapped to qwerty layout (and typing still uses dvorak). This case works better than on windows, since playing a game there either required the game itself to recognize keyboard layouts (best case), or remapping the controls (annoying case), or switching to qwerty (frustrating for typing because I’m stronger with dvorak now).

But sometimes instead it does the opposite and remaps the qwerty bindings to dvorak. As in, even if I swap layouts, wasd are all over the keyboard instead of all together. I need to exit the game, swap layouts to qwerty on the desktop, then relaunch for controls to work properly (and then I can sometimes swap back to dvorak in game and they continue to work). Often, the next time I launch the game, I’ll forget to switch it but it will just work this time.

And sometimes it behaves like windows did where I can swap the layout in game and keys change as you’d expect.

I have no idea why it’s inconsistent between these three options or where the “preserve key location despite the layout” feature is even coming from. Anyone have any idea about this?

I upgraded my gpu this weekend. Shut down, switched the psu off, swapped the old one out and new one in, booted into bios no issue (to check if I has left pcie on auto or needed to update it), then booted into the desktop (fedora cinnamon). Bam, after login only saw wallpaper, no mouse cursor or other UI.

Well, at least it’s kinda working. Time to figure out what’s going on. Terminal works. There’s some errors in the log but nothing to do with amdgpu or firmware failed to upload or anything. Software render just shows up as black screen. Reset my cinnamon session and boot back to the same thing. Fuck.

Then I try moving my mouse way over to the right and it shows up! Oh right. I have my TV plugged in for streaming to it sometimes and it ended up defaulted to the primary display, so my main desktop was only showing up there (and it was off). Right click, display properties, swap my monitor to primary, disable the TV until I turn it on.

This is about the magnitude of the average problem I need to deal with on Linux. Something isn’t working like I want it to, half the time it’s actually working but I misunderstood something or the default doesn’t match my intent and I need to adjust settings and then it’s perfect or close enough.

Or the other problem I had yesterday, tried monster hunter world for the first time and it wouldn’t launch. Played satisfactory for a bit instead (new gpu is noticeably smoother yay), then did a quick search, found that a specific version of proton works, switched to that version and it played. That’s the first game that has had such trouble for me.

I think it was Oblivion rather than Skyrim, but I remember one character I had whose stealth was so high guards would lose track of me if I entered a slightly shaded area. Archery would only improve things because then I wouldn’t have to walk up to them to kill them.

Petty sure that character could just shoot whatever I wanted and just sit there, not even that far away, and anyone who noticed the shot would give up looking pretty quickly. Don’t think it was any different for walking up to them and stabbing.

There might have been some stealth fortification involved.

I suppose it depends on the advances. If it’s just flirting, then flirt back or don’t are both fair. If it’s a confession of feelings or asking them out, ignoring those can be pretty cruel, though it can also depend on the person.
