Dating has gotten so expensive that nearly half of U.S. singles say it’s no longer worth it, as the average night out approaches $200

Last year I went on many dates and the average expense was like $25. Yes, I did sometimes go out to restaurants, but they'd be either coffee shops with food or fast casual places. And yes I pay for her meal too. How are people spending $200 on a night out?
Wait it's the average vs the median probably. A couple extreme outliers are inflating the average.

Sorry I forgot yesterday, but here it is now:

You're on a newer everything than me, except the hardware. I'm on Fedora 43, with kernel 6.19.11 (or 6.19.12? I don't remember exactly), and driver version 580.x, with an RTX 5060. I'll send a pic of the system info once I get home from work.

Note that I can't update to Fedora 44 currently because my WiFi is borked.

Warning, you might need to hard reboot because it won't wake up from sleep

Same with motorcycles sadly. They are fairly cheap to buy, especially when used, but the maintenance, insurance, and parking adds up to thousands of dollars quickly.

How did you get sleep to work?

I'm also on Fedora with a 5060 and that's my only issue after getting it setup and fixing the initial black screen on boot. Runs games and my own CUDA code well.

Just put Fedora on my desktop with an RTX 5060 a couple weeks ago. The Nvidia drivers were easy to install but they borked a bit later and it took me an hour or two to fix unfortunately. And sleep doesn't work at all.

Still, the Nvidia driver issues are secondary to the WiFi issues that I've spent so many hours trying to get work, and every time I think it works for good, it breaks again. I'm buying a dongle with a Mediatek MT7601U and hopefully this fixes the WiFi issues for good.

Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

I literally pay the same for Nebula, which is decidedly not my own media. Paying a subscription for your own media playback is so stupid.

It's more like:

There are 2 grocery store chains in your city and zero restaurants or other ways to get food not owned by those chains. One already has a supply of only expensive, big-brand products, with nothing organic and very few healthy items The other chain has more independent items that are healthier and more reasonably-priced, as they allowed smaller companies to sell there. Now they are closing the door to these smaller companies, making them appear as a clone to the first chain.

25Gbit? From my room I'm lucky to get 2.5Mbit (from my nominally 300Mbit Internet due to the WiFi sucking)...

Nice bike, nice terrain. How long of a ride do you normally go on the Tenere when doing longer rides?

The weather is finally getting nice where I live too, but my tires are seriously balding...

Do whatever floats your boat. I personally dislike diplomatic victory (I once got it accidentally and it was so unsatisfying), so I turned it off.

I've been getting back into Sid Meier's Civilization 6 again and am actually going for victories. Because I want to really understand the mechanics I'm just playing with the base ruleset and won a religious victory and am now going for domination.

The problem is that the one more turn mindset is consuming me.

I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.

Jump

SuperSpruce @lemmy.zip 2mo ago

I'm late to the party, but if you're new to Civ and looking for which game to start on, ignore the people who say that you need the DLCs for the "complete" experience.

I started on Civ 6, and fell for this, getting a complete edition (at a deep discount). When I tried to play it, I was quickly overwhelmed by the complexity. Now, 80 hours in, I realized I can play with just the base game rules, and that's what I've been doing, and now I yearn for one more turn. I'll eventually start playing with the DLC rules, but not before I get a good grasp on the base game.

What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

Gomi, an early $5 iOS game that involved eating successively larger objects until an objective was reached, utilizing the tilt feature. It had so much potential to be a game with a medium to large speedrun/highscore community.
