It seems in Texas, if you cannot afford to pay a funeral home to claim your loved one's corpse, then the corpse will be sold for parts, to raise the necessary money to dispose of it. And you won't get a funeral.

That first part is eerily similar to what I was about to post.
In 2011, I was a lonely introvert. I spent my time binging TV shows and reading.
In 2012, on an IRL meetup thread on the 4chan x (paranormal stories) board, I met a new friend. I think deciding to meet them was the critical moment. They introduced me to a local arts and crafts club, a certain sci-fi fandom, and Minecraft.
The arts and crafts club became the basis of a friend group that is still my main friend group today. They brought me to a local convention in 2013 where I discovered I was trans.
In that sci-fi fandom, at a 2016 convention, I met my current partner, and a bunch of new friends.
I played a lot of Minecraft from 2012 to 2016, but then my partner in 2016 introduced me to Factorio.

Beta testers should get a discount, or even get paid, in exchange for writing good bug reports. These people are fools for paying extra for earlier access to a bug fest.
I would never pre-order a game. That just makes it harder to refund it if it sucks.

Can someone explain to me how this is economical? (The article is pretty light on facts, and the few facts that it has are suspect anyway due to the article's technical mistakes, like measuring capacity in "megawatts".)
The maximum price of electricity (that I could find) in California is $0.66/kWh . That means, if you charge at night, or at some theoretical time when electricity is free, and then sell at that maximum price every day, your round-trip profit is $0.66 for each kWh of battery capacity. Lithium-ion batteries, if I'm being generous, last up to 2000 charge cycles. Let's say they don't lose any capacity during that time, either. That means your profit $1320 per kWh, for the whole life of the battery.
The cheapest grid-tie batteries I can find are about $3000 per kWh, so about twice as much as the total lifetime profit.
Is there something I'm missing?

Your post here contains a homophobic slur.
"Shock troops" implies actual violence.
"the final solution" implies violence, genocide, and antisemitism.
Your first link goes to a post suggesting that people put pro-Monero messages inside new books at bookstores. Most people would perceive this as vandalism, and possibly as advertising that they don't care for.
If you want to promote Monero on Lemmy, to start, you will need to stop being homophobic and antisemitic, and stop promoting violent themes.
Try making a message based on positivity. Compared to paying with a credit card, where I have the right to make a chargeback in many situations, what benefits are there to paying in Monero?

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for, but my answer is basically "no".
I can take a 10mg Adderall 4 hours before bed, and fall right asleep. Sometimes, I can take a 10mg Adderall in the morning, and fall asleep at my desk at work, only 30 minutes later.
Adderall makes me feel relaxed and totally unstressed. I've never had HRV stress measured, though. What is the experience like, to you, when you are having high HRV stress levels?
Wellbutrin and most other SSRI's and SNRI's make me feel a little TOO relaxed. Some of them make me feel less conscious, and a little bit brain fogged. At the time, I described it as if my soul was detached from my body.
To me, methylphenidate (Ritalin) gives the same effects as Adderall.

Sounds like what you're looking for is an ATX12V plug. It's a 2x2 connector that normally has two yellow and two black wires. It normally goes into the 2x2 receptacle on the motherboard to power the processor. In this case, the eGPU enclosure needs it for some reason, maybe for more power.
The good news is that the 2x4 breakaway connector (called EPS12V I believe) that splits into two 2x2 connectors is probably compatible with this receptacle. One of the two 2x2 pieces of the connector should fit into the eGPU's power receptacle, and the other won't. If it fits, it is probably the right connector. If two of the wires going to that connector are yellow, and two are black, then it's almost certainly the right connector.
You may have multiple of these 2x4 breakaway connectors. If so, they should behave identically, and you can break up any of them and try to fit the pieces into the ATX12V receptacle.
List of ATX power supply connectors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)#Connectors (without images, unfortunately.)
Don't forget about the big 20-pin or 24-pin main ATX motherboard power connector. Your second power supply, since it is non-modular, will need something to simulate the motherboard's power button. That's can be as simple as a switch between the PS-ON wire (green) and any ground wire (black). But hopefully your eGPU has a place to plug in the ATX motherboard power connector, and handles that on-off switching for you.

I've seen "Domain Controller" and "Subscriber" for the sake of plausible deniability.
In the case of SPI, they want to keep intact the names MISO (master in, slave out) and MOSI. So they use things like "Main" and "Sub".

They only want to tax employee benefits above $12,000. The point of it seems to be to limit how much health insurance people get, so it limits their access to healthcare.
If all employer-provided health insurance was taxed (not just the amount above $12,000) it would be a good thing in the long run, because it would disentangle health insurance from employment.

I voted you down because I think you are making a few errors here:
-
Not every Palestinian is Hamas. Hamas is a genocidal organization that wishes it could kill every Israeli, including civilians, but not every Palestinian believes in that. And not every Israeli agrees with IDF's genocide, although a disappointingly high proportion of them do.
-
IDF is clearly more successful in their genocide of Palestinians than Hamas is in their attempted genocide of Israelis.
-
Even if Hamas and IDF both were equal, a lot of the English-speaking Internet (including many Lemmings here) are Americans, and pay American taxes, and therefore have an obligation to stop the genocide funded by our taxes, through money and weapons the US government sends to Israel. Even if both sides were equally bad, we (I and other Americans) recognize the need to stop Israel, but have no obligation to stop Hamas because we aren't sending them the weapons in the first place.

I've played Doom, Doom 2, and Doom 64. Their engines lack room-over-room architecture, but they do have a Y axis, and some parkour where you run from platform to platform (without jumping). They all have a menu.
Limonene 1 month ago • 87%
Imagine a first person shooter with no menus. You just start up the game, and you're suddenly in a death match with some other random people. There is no customization for the type of death match. The setting and the weapon selection are randomly generated for you. At the end, you are shown a victory/defeat screen with no buttons. After 10 seconds, you join another match.
There is no pause button, no adjustment for mouse sensitivity, and no configuration for the screen resolution or graphics quality.
No menus. Definitely not a menu game.
The game also has no jump button, no stairs, and basically no Y axis at all. Definitely not a parkour game.

No, it's not dead. The number of players is irrelevant.
A "dead game" is a game that needs work but is not under any development. It could be in Early Access, and incomplete. Or, it could be released, but still incomplete (looking at you, 7 Days to Die). Or, it could be an MMO that needs ongoing server maintenance, but they shut the servers down.
A game that is being worked on and making good progress isn't dead. A game that is complete and relatively bug-free, but not being worked on, is not dead. An MMO getting no new content, but just enough labor to keep the lights on and the servers up, is not dead.
I guess an MMO or multiplayer game that has mandatory multiplayer aspects could be considered Dead if there aren't enough players available to reasonably play the game. But Palworld is a single player game, or co-op with friends, not really an MMO.

Carbon tax now please. $100 per ton of carbon emitted. (That's $25 per ton of carbon dioxide emitted).
That should be enough to set the right motivations for carbon emitters. If we billed them for the actual damages, including the actual deaths that carbon emissions will cause, it would be thousands or tens of thousands more. But the exact amount depends on how much a human life is worth, in dollars.

Downloading any retail or food company's app is a bad idea. It will violate your privacy, and give you little to no benefits.
I really hate when companies demand that you sign in to their website to communicate with them, when they could have just used email. Especially if they refer to their proprietary website as "email" when it clearly isn't, and especially when it's an app instead of a website.

All the communities on lemmy.lukeog.com are mirrors of Reddit boards. lemmy.lukeog.com does not accept posts from Lemmy users -- only its bot may post and comment, and its posts and comments are just mirrors of Reddit posts and comments. This doesn't seem like a useful way to use Lemmy. It's more like just a mirror of Reddit, in which case archive.is or web.archive.org would be more useful, in my opinion. Better not to waste bandwidth and resources on this, in my opinion.
