The office stays undefeated
  • John Krasinski (left) played Jim on The Office (American) and in one episode, Randall Park (right) pretended to play him for a bit on the show to mess with another character (Dwight). The joke is that they're the same person.

  • Biden calls his decision to step aside from 2024 race a matter of defending democracy
  • Or he waited until the Trump campaign sunk millions of dollars into a strategy that has now been completely subverted and which they have no real way out of without a massive pivot like dropping Trump which isn't going to happen. If that's the case, I'd call it a pretty savvy move.

  • Trump picks Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate
  • It actually is a good book. As someone from the same general area, I saw a lot of my own family and experiences reflected in his writing. I had hopes that he might step up and push for more of a class-conscious republican party until he turned out to be a fascist tool.

  • How to transport a PC long distances
  • Thanks, is there any chance of static from the bubblewrap causing any shorts on the motherboard? I'll probably just wait to install the GPU until after I move then, no sense unpacking it and immediately repackaging it if everything else runs smoothly.

  • How to transport a PC long distances

    I'm in the process of building a PC and will be moving states next month. Ideally, I'd like to at least get it built and booted up before moving, because I'm moving to a more rural area without easy access to a MicroCenter or other store that sells components. It'll be a ~700 mile drive, the second half of which will be through smaller mountain roads. What is the best way to do this, so I can avoid damaging any components?

    Edit: Thanks for the advice everybody, the consensus seems to be to remove and package separately the hard disks, GPU, and anything else heavy that sticks out from the board, then wrap the whole thing in towels and blankets and lay it on its back for the duration of the journey.

    Casual reminder
  • Exactly, the country that shared a massive land border with the NAZIs and was a direct target of their aggression suffered many more casualties than the ones what didn't, who'da thunk it? Without the combined efforts of essentially the entire rest of the world, the USSR would have been toast.

  • How do pirate?

    I'm moving in a week and changing my ISP, so my plan is just to pirate a few terabytes of music and games on this IP and dip out. I've never pirated anything before though, what's the easiest way for me to do this?

    I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use?

    I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I'd like to learn. I'm not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I'm not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

    Edit: https://distrochooser.de for anyone who stumbles upon this post with the same question

    Have the trees started turning colors earlier this year?

    I live in Ohio in the US and it seems like some of the trees around here have started turning colors way earlier than normal. Is it from the wildfires? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

    What niche communities are you all looking to find/found here on lemmy?

    I would love to find someplace to talk about roadtripping, comparing routes and whatnot.
