jumping won’t impress her

Unless it’s jump humping.

It’s what my router runs.

If your grandmother dies at age 102, Fox news would blame it on immigrants, somehow.

There was a post about an older dude that went camping with his girlfriend and popped an ol’ blue to get freaky. They wrapped up and fell asleep, but the dude woke up 4 hours in excruciating pain - his erection had never gone down. They rushed down the mountain to the hospital, another two hours later… ER docs told him it was too late, amputation time.

So it’s always a good idea to stay awake long enough to flush the pipes with a good piss to avoid a uti, the story just reinforced that notion for me about 1000% more.

Checkmate. We’re watching you.

“Could not fetch embedded watch page”

Some thoughts:

Ubuntu, most likely

I’d encourage you to take a look at Linux Mint, it alleviates some of the Ubuntu fuckiness. And if you want to join the “I use arch btw” crowd, maybe checkout EndeavourOS if you’re feeling more brave than just Ubuntu variants (which is built on arch, but makes barrier to entry a little easier).

i9s are the latest hotness but don’t think the price is worth it

Take a look at last generation to soften the blow to your wallet. E.g., instead of looking at a 14900k, look at 13 or even 12 series. In fact, this is a useful strategy all around if you’re being price conscious: go one gen older.

GPU that can support some sort of ML/AI with DisplayPort

Probably going to want to go with a discrete card, rather than just integrated. Other major consideration is going to be nvidia vs AMD, for which you’ll need to decide if CUDA should be part of your calculus or not. I’ll defer to any data science engineers that might wander through this post.

The rest of your reqs pretty much come as regular stock options when building a pc these days. Though another nicety for my latest builds, is multi-gig nics (though 2.5Gb was my ceiling, since you’ll also need the network gear to utilize it). Going multi-gig is nice for pushing around a fuckton of data between machines on my lan (including a NAS).

Very last thing that I’ve found helpful in my last 3 builds spanning 15 years: I use newegg for its reviews of items, specifically so I can search for the term “linux” in any given product’s reviews. Often times I can glean quick insight on how friendly (or not) hardware has been for other’s linux builds.

And I lied, I just remembered about another linux hardware resource: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search

You can see other people that have built with given hardware. Just remember to do a scan too once your build is up to pay it forward.

Good luck, and remember to have fun!

Boot up from a live cd and go nuts.

every generation thinks they’re the last ans that everything is about to go to shit. In the end that never really happens

About 3.76% of the worlds population died due to WWII, or about 300MM people if scaled to today. For those people, the end really did happen.

With NATO being threatened by a malicious US presidential candidate, along with Putin getting express approval to go ape by the same, I’m actually quite worried WWIII is more possible than ever in my adult life (I was only a child during the cold war).

not that Netflix has commercials

There’s a tier with commercials for many countries now.

It’s like the Mr. Garrison’s dildo mono-wheel “it” vehicle, it’s fucking you in the ass!

Ohhhh now I see it, now I see it.

What’s happen’ with them sausages, Charlie?

It’s because there’s websites out there that will entirely break, and for really dumb fucking reasons. I’ve seen some sites not even load due to google tag manager being blocked. Most of the time it’s a signal to me that I don’t want to have anything to do with that domain.

However, if this was at work, that would be a call to IT. Multiply that by potentially hundreds of calls on the regular, and that could get really expensive.

The better solution here I think, is to default the browser install with uBlock Origin already there. Then allow the user the power to toggle the addon to their own liking. Then last, train your employees to know what the addon is, and how to use it.

Then it’s the best of both worlds: websites aren’t necessarily breaking for all users, ads are absent as a default state, and users are empowered to control their own experience. (And yes there’s still going to be Jims and Karens calling for support, but they’re going to regardless, those types will always find a reason.)

Windows ME is life, only second to Windows Vista.

Nah, that motherfucker is selling handies outside Cecil Hotel in downtown LA.

Got 'em

*Owned. It’s since been sold a couple months ago to a greazy music licensing company, who immediately fired half the staff (120 positions gone).

My first script ever was written in lua for a world of warcraft macro to spit out chuck norris one liners. People in the barrens hated me.
