Yeah at 700 I’d probably buy one once my wife and I have permanent employment. It would make it a great htpc/game console

I use nobara as a gamer and it works well for me

We do, a clade is just a group consisting of an ancestor and all its descendants. So basically, the evidence indicates that birds are all the descendants of a more traditional dinosaur and are more closely related to more classic dinosaurs like t Rex and velociraptors than those dinos are to ones like brontosaurus.

In part this is done by examining physical characteristics in fossil specimens and seeing where traits seem to appear and how they seem to evolve over time. Like it’s obvious that marsupials are more closely related to us placental mammals than either are to birds or reptiles. After all we give live birth and have hair and milk. And both groups are more closely related to each other than egg laying mammals (monotremes) like platypuses, but that all three are more related to each other than birds, alligators, and lizards. And you can keep going looking at less and less obvious traits. And eventually you see that a weird division in how jaws work happened in the Paleolithic that separated these two clades, and that actually dimetrodon is more closely related to us than to dinosaurs.

And since you can do stuff like that you can see that in the jurassic a group of theropod dinosaurs started evolving feathers, and some even evolved beaks and wings. And by the cretaceous some of these dinosaurs were what we’d call birds today. And even better for them, many were small generalists, which we suspect is the best thing to have been at the end of the cretaceous as species fitting that description seemed to survive the best during the extinction event.

You don’t just roll your technical documents? The plotter makes it pre rolled and so I just let it do that

Yeah but in the suburbs of Buffalo and Albany? Or in the New York portion of the Appalachians or whatever their other mountains are called? New York is a geographically large state by northeast standards

It’s also that cops have put an amount of investment into pr that is unique among government employees (and that includes pushing you to not think of them as just more government employees) except maybe the military. They’re bleeding your local budget dry, but if the news reports on stuff like that or their misconduct they lose access to crime leads. There’s a massive push to make you think highly of them. Here’s a video I recently watched on the topic that points to true crime as a possible in to get ordinary people to see the cops as as flawed as they are

Yeah, police falsifying evidence should carry the same penalties as the crime they falsified evidence for and a guaranteed firing. This country treats cops with a bizarre level of leniency

It’s a surveillance company, stoking fears of terrorism is just good business, especially if it’s not true

That’s really concerning. Like, if a loved one told me that I’d express serious concern for their mental health

Yeah I just ordered new ones and the features look awesome, definitely an upgrade over my 5 year old ones, but holy crap they’re starting to creep into used car prices. Thank fuck my insurance is helping

But also when I click the start button it has all of my files and programs

Hell, my grandpa fuckin forgot his native language…

I don’t know but it’s out of control, it’s spread to my fucking hearing aids

Newsom would keep ice and the patriot act in place and wouldn’t even fix the cost of living

Antipope is something else. It’s just the lesser claimant to the diocese of Rome

Yes, because he means fascists, sartre was a mid 20th century french philosopher

These American Christians really have a bug up their ass about the pope’s understanding of Christianity. Surely a politician is a bigger expert on the topic than the fucking pope

Grape shot’s a great shot

Good, but also holy fuck we need to ban gerrymandering

Acid has been known to confer wisdom upon its users, in your case it seems the wisdom was to not use acid at work
