Exact feeling I have. I never tire seeing these pictures.

That looks so bomb 🤤 definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever seen

You’re welcome! I’m glad I could provide some helpful stuff to start :)

Ah I see! I’m also a Fusion 360 user too! I was thinking you were talking about stuff like Blender or CGI creation in Unreal Engine which are much more demanding on your computer. But yeah, Fusion 360 isn’t that bad at all!

You’re absolutely right about the specs then! Your gaming sounds like what you will want to check out.

I’d highly recommend visiting the various games’ pages on a site like Steam and seeing their system requirements. You’ll want a good processor and video card (GPU = Graphics Processor Unit, also called a graphics card) more than anything else which most games will really thrive on. Most gamers seem to do well with getting an Intel i5 or i7 or a AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. A i9 or Ryzen 9 is probably overkill. For a GPU, this is something you’ll want to research on. I’d recommend checking out some YouTube videos and watch the most recent ones you can that compare the graphics cards and show you how they perform in games. Maybe even check out some YouTubers who showcase the games you’re interested in and can talk about what specs worked well for them too.

Oh okay, that actually seems like on the lower to middle end of things, all things considered.

One of the best things you can do is to check out the system requirements for some of those things you hope to run which can help give you an idea of what you’ll need.

For example, if you view the game House Flippers 2 on Steam, you’ll see the screenshot below which kind of gives you an idea of what you want to aim for in terms of the right pieces you’ll want to buy for your computer:

You’ll ideally want to go for the recommended or above the recommended for the best possible performance of the game. The minimum specs are the absolute lowest that can run this game at its most basic level, which will often not be the best quality or run at the best specs, so you don’t want to follow those.

What are some of the 3D modeling programs you hope to use? That will likely be more intensive, depending on what it is, than the gaming will be.

A great resource for building and budgeting a PC build is pc part picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/

If you’re not familiar with it, it basically helps you find and build a PC and shows you about how much it all will cost you. It’s also a great resource for new beginners since it guides you through exactly what is needed so you don’t end up surprised and have to make multiple trips to the store/purchases online.

I’m not aware of a dedicated community, but I’m willing to help if I can here. What do you need help with?

That sounds delicious, thanks for sharing!

Question about the carrot, is it raw and hard or do you cook it or shred it?

I’m not vegan/vegetarian, but I like the idea of foods with more veggies and been making my own sushi recently. What do you like in your vegetarian sushi?

If you already have a Xbox/PlayStation/Switch controller, you can also use that. There are very cheap mounts you can buy for each of these controllers for ~$10 USD that will allow you to hook up to your phone seated on top of the controller. You might even be able to 3D print a mount too.

It’s not nearly as comfortable as this is (though you could say it is because the controller, itself feels better in the hands, but I’m talking viewing angle) but it’s a lot cheaper and doesn’t require buying a new, dedicated controller.

Not knocking your suggestion, OP. Just providing a secondary alternative too.

Another annoying “feature” to trick viewers. I absolutely loathe the ability to change thumbnails because I’ve already passed by your video once for one reason. A new thumbnail isn’t going to get me to change my mind.

The funniest part of these to me is that even with this, the business behind it will expect you to tip them lol.

Have you seen the Slate truck? It checks off most of those boxes.

It is, and I heard that it was a surprise to Rhea Seehorn (Carol).

And pudding and a frozen yogurt station.

Welcome to the journey. It’s a never ending venture and you’ll keep adding to it.

I just started using docker containers and I keep finding new containers to add to my setup. Even transferred PiHole off being a standalone service to being a container and setting up a second docker instance and now going to set up a redundant PiHole on my first docker setup.

Just a heads up that the App Store shows your full name so now it can be linked to this Lemmy account. Unless you didn’t care or used a fake name. Just wanted you to be aware in case you didn’t know about this.

Depends on who it is. Some of them are doing this to multiple houses in a day and if you remove the shipping label, they don’t have an exact idea which package was the one that contained the shit.

I love Milton’s face. Such a serious character with a damn good name to match

Can confirm this. I experienced this on my Pi3 recently with a VPN. I mean, it wasn’t the end of the world. Just that the specific docker container I wanted to use wasn’t compatible because of ARM so I had to go with a different one.

It could be bad for specific things that are more obscure. But I use my Pi for PiHole adblocking and VPN and that’s it. My other stuff lives on another machine and the Pi is set up for redundancy and it’s more reliable if power outages happen since power in means power on by default.

If you can get one for cheap and just want it for the same reason, could be alright.

What are some examples of low-effort posts? I’ve never felt that way about any posts I’ve seen here. Granted I’m not a heavy user in this community, just been a lurker, but I may be using this more as I grow my own home lab.

Depends on what it is. Like for pizza, I do go to the big chains sometimes but I prefer the local pizza places more. But the prices are insane!

Pizza place down the road wants $30 for a simple large pepperoni pizza. But Dominos will only charge me around $12 for the same size pizza with more toppings.

A local Mexican restaurant does pizzas and I’ve been going there more because their pizzas are the absolute best I’ve ever tasted and they’re cheap at around $10 for a large. You simply cannot beat it any way you try.

But it’s hard because of this. Either local places are too expensive or just aren’t as convenient. I hate to say it, but it’s convenient to go into a place like Walmart and get both groceries and electronics and furniture all in the same trip, not to mention the cheaper prices. But there’s also other factors too like peace of mind. I bought some clothes from Target recently in another city and took them back for a refund to my local Target and had no grief. Also, if I don’t have the receipt, they have the ability to look up my card and find my purchase and refund. I also have peace of mind knowing they have blanket policies they follow. 90 days means 90 days for all their stores.

Whereas a local place may tell you 7 days, but is it really? Some places can be more lenient and go beyond the 7 days and some will pretend they never made such a promise. Such is the case for this place down the road from me that is a small, locally owned outlet place that resells stuff and they tell you 7 days and tell other people a different policy and then sometimes don’t honor it at all. Even if one of the Targets denies my return, I’ll go across town and try another Target and maybe get an employee who just doesn’t give a shit and get my stuff done. Happened to me with a bank and a manager who was doing some illegal shit and not letting me withdraw my money. I reported her and the bank and they did get investigated and eventually apologized to me for the manager, but that was months later. And the point was that I went across town and did my legal transaction without issues there. A local bank with one branch could have denied me and I’d have been out and waiting on the government or a lawyer to strongarm them into doing what they legally are supposed to do.

And another thing I realized years ago is that I as a minority may have issues in small towns where they don’t like people who look like me. Local restaurant legally can’t not serve me because they’re racist pricks but may do something like jack up the prices on me or be rude to me to discourage me from staying. But try that in a chain like Dennys and corporate will knock that shit off quick. They don’t want lawsuits and the negative publicity that comes with it all and will fire those racist pricks from representing their brand. I have peace of mind knowing that I can go into a Walmart and less likely to deal with discrimination. Though….the recent news about large chains wanting to make “personalized”/surge pricing is one of those downsides that a local place will likely never be able to do because they don’t have the technology for it or the manpower to maintain such a system.

Conclusion for me has been that I’m grateful both exist. But online retailers like Amazon I think are a bigger threat we should be worried about. Your local government can do something about both local and big businesses but can’t do much about online retailers fucking you over. And online retailers are causing brick and mortar to close at larger rates than ever before. It’s depressing seeing so many businesses, both small and big, close down and shopping malls become ghost towns.
