That’s been his “pose” forever. Even Melania did it for some pics. It’s his “tough guy” act.
- Comment on Can one of the math addicts of lemmy.world calculate how much it would cost to give every adult in the US 5k for voting Republican? Also who is going to pay for it? My guess taxpayers. 5 days ago:
If only ⅓ actually vote, that’s around 110m people (assuming all are adults of legal voting age). If about ⅓ actually identify as a Republican, that’s about 35k people. 35,000 x $5,000 = $175m.
Considering Trump’s doubled his worth to over $11b (illegally) he could theoretically pay for it. Not that he will lol. But he made more than that on his crypto rug pull scheme, so… There’s that.
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 5 days ago:
sigh I’m old, but I last “cheated” with a Gameshark, and I used to beat games in their entirety before replaying with mods. But back then, it was only single player stuff. (R.I.P. Dreamcast!)
I also was thrown into a lobby once in CoD 4 MW where if you jumped you’d hit the ceiling of the map, and if you threw a grenade, it’d stick to you. That lobby apparently was a rank-hack lobby so I was rank 55, 15th prestige at the end. It was annoying because I felt it torched all my progress and ruined the climb and challenge for me.
- Comment on Would a insanely ridiculously expensive car be able to affect everyone's premiums? 5 days ago:
Yes, so whoever is at fault their liability pays out. The issue is too many people don’t know enough abort liability limits and their agent offices (if they have them) don’t educate them, so they buy state minimum for expensive cars!
If I drive a little Civic with IL state minimum liability of “$25k/50k/25k” that’s only $25k per person or a max of $50k max per accident, those are bodily injury limits. $25k for all property damage, which could be multiple cars and/or physical property.
Now, a note I’d like to add: you’ll also have uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist coverages, but those can’t be higher than your own liability limits, so if you drive a $100k car, you should be VERY worried about everyone else with state minimum coverage which only gives you 25k towards your property (car) repairs (FL I believe is sadly only $15k). Your underinsured coverage will kick in and cover the ‘up to’ 75k amount.
If you drive a $1m car, you’ll likely have a $250k/$500k/1m policy, which covers obviously higher bodily injury limits, but also your car’s value up to $1m. The reason I don’t list higher BI limits is usually at that point, people also have Umbrella liability policies which gives them $1-10m additional liability coverages for all their policies under that “umbrella”.
This is why I ALWAYS recommend reviewing your auto policies and try matching closely to your own values, to be properly insured. I would also suggest going with higher than 100k bodily injury liability limits. We all know how expensive ER visits can be (US), and if your policy hits the “limit”, you’re liable for everything over that. My dad’s car accident ER bill alone was over $250k. Not to mention ICU docs out of network, physical therapy, etc. It was a ~45mph t-bone collision. Their underinsured policy kicked in saving my parents well over $200k combined.
I hope this helps anyone reading it!

Pretty much, for ultra expensive cars, you get special insurers to cover them. Hagerty comes to mind and is one who specializes in autos with collectible cars especially.
Some car insurance companies can refuse certain models or anything that surpasses a dollar value amount.

Dang! That’s from 1985. That’s true even today! Maybe all generations feel that way? And we just rediscover it in our own way?

- Comment on How come manufacturers use base 10 units when calculating the space of a hard drive? Giving you 931GB per TB Hard Drive. Why not advertise the number windows reads? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly this! MiB and MB were used interchangeably 30+years ago and MB stuck probably because if was easier to say and remember. Plus, 1000 bytes vs 1024 bytes wasn’t a big difference, same with 1,000KB vs 1,024KB. I recall Windows XP seeing my 16GB flash drive as 14.5GB. Now my 16TB drives are “14.5TB”.

Not that I want to float ideas, but Zuck & Bezos have tried to get into the gaming space before.
I will sell every Xbox I have, and figure out a way to sell my 17-18yo gamer profile, 60k+ gamerscore, and 300+digital game library on eBay if one of those assholes buys the brand!

- Comment on Can we estimate the size of the Internet ? If so, what size would it be (in GB, TB or whatever) ? 3 weeks ago:
Idk but I’m about to eclipse 200TB myself! 😅
- 6x 3TB in RAID10 = 18TB raw (9TB usable)
- 10x 8TB in RAID5E = 80TB raw (64TB usable)
- 8x 16TB in RAID5 = 128TB raw (112TB usable)
AKA 226TB raw or 185TB usable

- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 3 weeks ago:
I know you said restaurant, but a vast majority only get 30 minutes for lunch, and you can’t go eat in less than 45 minutes. Best you could do is call ahead to have an order ready or have it elected… But at that point delivery or fuel costs count towards meal spending, so bringing food from home would be cheaper, if you’re OK prepping ahead of time.
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 3 weeks ago:
You’re not in the US then lol, because “fast food” that most people get is anything BUT healthy. I could pack a can of spam and it’d be healthier probably.
Though is your job has a cafeteria, it’s a large enough business that makes sense to do to keep people happy, and they could use fresh ingredients which then obviously is a healthy option. I worked at a place like that years ago. It was decent.
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 3 weeks ago:
Packing a lunch still costs money, just not as much as eating out. Skipping a meal is free.
I get it, some days I’m too busy, others it slows down an hour or two before I leave so I hold out until home. Days I do eat lunch, if I go out, I don’t feel so guilty bc I’ve not ate out all week. Otherwise I often pack leftovers that don’t get eaten.

Or, bear with me, they’ve handled it enough and are familiar enough with it they know how to safely operate it.
Pointed away from any potential people, finger off the trigger (at least visible in the end), recoil was pretty well handled with a single hand, given that shot could’ve been a .357. I don’t know revolvers enough, and I can’t see the cylinder well enough either to tell the size or appx length of the round.

OK. I’m going to ELI5 this bit. Not being mean, sarcastic, or trying to talk down. I don’t know you’re knowledge level, so I apologize.
Imagine 2 different 1" pipes. One gets its dedicated supply running to your house, and the other gets divided among all the houses in a cul-de-sac.
Your house will have the best water pressure, unaffected by any neighbors, so your showers, laundry, etc, all runs perfectly fine.
Your neighbors, however, may or may not have adequate pressure, and depending on your many “devices” are relying on water, some get barely any flow at all. Devices that are furthest away get nothing.
So, theoretically, you get a pipe of water as do your neighbors, but the best time for your neighbors to use it is when there’s fewest utilizing. But you can’t really gauge when that is, so it’s often unreliable.
The more technical side is, wireless has the potential to go beyond 1Gbps which is great! However, many current WiFi 6, 6E, and 7 routers/APs still only utilize a 1Gb Ethernet port, so you’ll have a bottleneck regardless. Signal strength depends on obstructions, which could be walls, furniture, pipes, electrical, insulation, etc. 2 devices close by don’t get the same signal, SO many variables come into play that are resolved by dedicated connections like Ethernet. The more devices that share your 2.4GHz, 5GHz, & 6GHz the more shared the signal gets. A 2.4GHz has longer range but slower speeds and its often saturated by IOT devices. 5GHz & 6GHz devices benefit from better throughput, but suffer signal degradation easier.
I hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions.
