Haha

Part of me wonders if he's having trouble finding willing folks (let me rephrase: quality willing folks) to do these jobs because 1. Most half-intelligent half-sane people know what he's about 2. He's about 2 years from being irrelevant to the Republican party and he's not the person you want to be tied to. 3. He's burned so many people that it really doesn't make sense for reasonable people to be interested.

I think (maybe it's naive hope) that after mid-terms we'll see the party start to look beyond Trump and effectively make him less important. We are sort of seeing it with the Senate putting pressure on some of his picks (Gaetz).

Aren't they throwing around numbers like 1 million deportations?

Does Sky think there are a million rapists and murders amount the 7 million that are here?

That flight is about 2 hours. But you have to account for getting to the airport, getting through security, boarding, checking bags, deplaning on the other end , getting bags, getting back to city center. That's easily an hour and half or two hours on each end.

When you add up all of that time, it starts getting pretty competitive.

Id love for more(any) high speed rail in the US.

My dad had a lung condition and ended up with COVID. He was on high flow oxygen for a very long time in the ICU. Eventually it just ripped up his nose to the point where he got a massive nose bleed.

The doctor said it's an inevitablilty because oxygen is so harsh.

The nosebleed forced them to intubate and that was the last time I spoke to my dad.

A fucking nosebleed.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they'll need anyone to narc him out. They tracked him all the way to the hostel he was staying at and have more photos of him.

Unless this guy was cash only with fake names and no phone in sight, they'll probably be able to narrow it down quickly (or might already have a name they haven't released). Maybe there's a chance he was clever about all of that.

But if he had a phone they'll just do one of their dragnet warrants of people in the area at those various places and times and crossmatch the person who was at all of them. Combine that with a facial rec search against drivers license photos and other holdings, they'll dial it in sooner than later.

Tesla stocks (and quite a few other company's stocks) are not based on 'fundamentals'. They are based on hype, speculation, and perceived future value.

People investing in tesla either 1. Are 'playing the game' and trying to take advantage of the hype. Which incentives them to also hype because they benefit when more people buy the stock. Think crypto bro-esque grifting. Id also throw in people who do short term trading to time hype jumps. 2. Novice/uninformed investors who don't understand fundamentals (who may be getting boozled)3. People that understand fundamentals but are also hedging against a miracle.

Elon isn't a stupid guy. There is a reason why Musk is constantly hyping things. It keeps the stock high. It's keeps the buzz going which gets more people to buy in. It keeps him rich which lets him do silly things like buying Twitter or donating to political campaigns and ingratiating him to the president elect.

But the overall valuation of Tesla absolutely, unequivocally is not based on fundamentals/realistic valuation of the company. It's almost all a "bet" and people buying stocks are gambling.

Hit it with a hammer

 

Apex has been running smooth as butter (well, as smooth as apex can run :) ) for the last year or so on my PopOS machine. I haven't had to log into windows to game in about 18 months.

I noticed a few months ago that I would get errors / crashes, seeimingly randomly where 'pak' files wouldn't load. I'd get a wine-looking pop up with the message. I could fix it by Validating Game Files. Inevitably it would find corrupt or invalid files and redownload them and it would work again.

Something happened about ~4 weeks ago where it became much more frequent to the point where its now unplayable on PopOS.

I've done everything I can think of:

  • completely removed steam and all my games from my system and retried with the deb package in the store. (no luck)

  • completely removed that and my games and tried with the flatpak (same issues)

  • I even, thinking my ssd might be failing, bought a new one, cloned my stuff over to that, etc (no luck, same issues).

  • I just uninstalled the game again and am trying to redownload as I am typing this and it gets to the end, fails (corrupt update files), then puts me in a loop of validating, downloading, pausing download, etc.

All of my other games seem to work fine and update fine.

Apex works on my steamdeck. Apex works fine on this same machine on Windows 10.

I used inotify-tools to see if something was editing the files in between gaming sessions when it worked and when it didn't and nothing seems to be accessing let alone updating/writing to those files. So the corruption or whatever happens during use.

I have tried Proton experimental and literally every version back until it wouldn't even make sense to run. I tried the last 5 or so ProtonGE versions as well.

The thing is: Is this a Pop issue? Is it an Apex issues? Is it a proton issue? Is it a steam issue?

I don't even know where to post this 'issue' too.

For what its worth, I am happy to try and run this down and provide whatever logs may help. I could learn some auditd!

HALP!
