All of these work except “dongle”. a dongle had a specific purpose in my day, some high end software wouldnt work without the dongle (a USB, serial or parallel device) plugged into the computer. Was an anti piracy device.

thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Time to bash Americans againEnglish4·11 hours agoNo, you’ll know gun culture when you see it. The people that put the stupid stickers all over the car, the firearm brands, the calibers, stuff like that, becomes a major part of their personality.
Like the other commenter said, you would never know that I even own a gun unless we were pretty damn close.
I don’t really have a solid answer for you. I think it started growing up where my dad had guns, rifles, in the army but he was super protective of them, he wouldn’t show them to us, he wouldn’t let us see them at all, he wouldn’t teach us about them so I was just genuinely curious. So when I moved out that was the first thing I bought.
And I hated the gun laws here, you can buy and sell guns just like you’re selling a car, just do a bill of sale. There’s no background check for secondhand guns. i bought my first one at a metro stop in DC area, rode the train out, guy pulled up to the metro parking lot and we traded. i mean we took pictures of each other’s IDs and did a bill of sale, but beyond that, nothing.
Mine doesn’t really ever come out of lockup unless we’re camping or going on a long road trip. I haven’t carried it in years and I think my license might even be expired at this point. I’m not scared, maybe wildlife, I’m near the Appalachian Mountains. I don’t carry it around to intimidate anybody, or try to use it for coercion. But I guess the fascination has just always been there since it was withheld growing up.
thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Time to bash Americans againEnglish4·1 day agoSame. Very few people know I own one and have a concealed license. Made sure the gf knew how to shoot and that she wouldn’t hesitate to use it if necessary. But that’s it. Been locked away at least since Valentine’s last year when we went to shoot.

thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which TV brand is the most reliable in your experience?English4·2 days agoThat’s CRT though, not exactly the same as new flat screens. CRT were all much more reliable.
Also brands are hard to decide since so many of them design shit to fail now. There is a Samsung washer that used two types of metals in the drum, metals that when touching dissolve each other basically, galvanic corrosion. It was literally designed to break prematurely.
thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Gaming@lemmy.ml•what is going on with all the system requirements in games?English1·2 days agoAgree. Maybe reinstall the game, see if there is any bullshit running in the background you’ve installed and forgot about that may be eating resources.
I know world war z will act stupid as hell and crash if you alt+tab out at any point while loading (can do it anytime after game is loaded), could be something simple like that.

thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the most upbeat songs with kind of depressing lyrics?English2·5 days agoSo I listened to some of Lit’s new stuff, they went full religious man. Bummed me out.
Stroke 9 on the other hand are fucking amazing and I love nearly all their tracks, their latest two albums are sick, Lake got me back into them, then went back to all their stuff I missed. Here’s a screenshot of my ratings :)

Singing about killing himself in a super upbeat song, even has kids at the end going “I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky”, the part where he was singing about jumping off a skyscraper.
thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgradeEnglish5·6 days agoNormally yes, but might as well blame it on something and raise the prices while everyone else.
thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Left 4 Dead creator teasing new four player co-op shooterEnglish2·6 days agoExactly the same. I think them using Left 4 Dead as a selling point is what ruined it. It should have just been its own game should not have even mentioned Left 4 Dead
thermal_shock@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Left 4 Dead creator teasing new four player co-op shooterEnglish2·6 days agoYeah, with L4D I can just jump in. Within 60 seconds I’m in a match and playing. It’s an arcade shooter so comparing B4B to L4D was wrong.
I asked trump supporters I knew this a long time ago, some said yes they would. I’ve since removed all known trump supporters from my life. No patience for the dishonesty and cultism.
