This American Life and Heavyweight

I don't know why but I find the term "October Surprise" to be quite amusing? Do you? in c/[email protected]

Two-horse chariot races (bigae) were held in the Campus Martius, the area of Rome named for Mars, after which the right-hand horse of the winning team was transfixed by a spear, then sacrificed. The horse's head (caput) and tail (cauda) were cut off and used separately in the two subsequent parts of the ceremonies: two neighborhoods staged a fight for the right to display the head, and the freshly bloodied cauda was carried to the Regia for sprinkling the sacred hearth of Rome.

Alrighty then

That show was such a joy to watch.

‘Isn’t it past your jail time?’: Jimmy Kimmel wins cheers at Oscars with Trump jibe in c/[email protected]

Don't forget Trump has only ever won once - in 2016 - and even then he lost the popular vote by 3 million. Every single major race since then - the 2018 midterms, the 2020 presidential election, the 2022 midterms - he or his endorsed candidates either outright lost or failed to live up to expectations. Don't get me wrong, I'm as anxious as anybody else and I'll believe it when I see it, but if I were to place a bet I'd bet he's going to lose yet again.

Perhaps you moved from Europe to the States in the interim like I did.

Edit to add: sorry if this came off as snarky, was not my intention. Just wanted to point out that it's not always so clear-cut. I created my Reddit account in 2008 when I lived in the Netherlands. Then I moved to the US in 2016 and became a citizen in 2019.

Nice work OP! Can you name a few of those 70s/80s Euro space comics you like best? Would love to check some out.

Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny dead, prison service says in c/[email protected]

Navalny most certainly wasn't stupid. He understood what he was getting into when he got on that flight back to Russia. My guess is that he hoped his arrest and detention would spark an uprising, which sadly didn't materialize.

I would not have made the choice he did, but I'm also not as brave as he is. Fuck Putin.

Funny thing you should say that because IIRC there actually is a Starbucks on the left right around the corner (though with a traditional facade at least). Source: wife and I were there last year.

Cheap (SFF) prefabs without GPUs on ebay, is that still a thing? (lemmy.ml)

Hey all. I'm currently renovating my basement and have been thinking about finally creating a comfy couch gaming setup. One of the many options I've been mulling over, besides running Steam Link over ethernet (~ugh, that lag though!~ lag actually wasn't that bad, but for some reason I can't get Steam Link to adapt the screen resolution to my tv) and running a RUIpro HDMI cable through my walls from the tv to the rig in my office, is maybe moving my 3080TI into a new SFF build to serve as a PCMR steam console for the basement. Preferably something small and nondescript, yet powerful enough to comfortably drive my 3080TI. I would stick an xbox adapter in it, hook it up to ethernet and my 4K TV via HDMI and call it a day. Bonus points if it can double as a blu-ray player, because why not.

If I am going that route I would like to not spend too much, so I was wondering if maybe I could just pick up (from eBay) a prefab with a removed GPU, since that used to be a thing a year or two ago. Is that still a thing? And if so, can you recommend any specific models that would work well in my use case? Or did I miss the proverbial boat and am I better off just building a new SFF unit?

Any and all input appreciated!
