is that a low flow toilet? i know the old ones used a lot of water because they initiated the siphon by completely filling the bowl, but low flow ones do it by jetting some water into the bend first.

Roger that. Definitely appreciate the tip. Any other suggestions? Was going to cook up some bacon nice and crispy and break it up next time.
mac and cheese is simple, so you can experiment with how you like it. personally i add a decent amount of cayenne pepper and a couple table spoons of dijon mustard to the mix before i bake it. gives it some spice and a bit of zing.

trotsky was a monster like the rest of the dictators that took over russia, had he won over stalin he'd have murdered just as many peasants. only reason people glorify him is because he spent a decade bitching about how much better he'd have been as a totalitarian dictator.

The existence of easy jobs within a trade job does not trivialize the majority of what has to be done in said trade jobs.
no, but disputing the fact that it cuts into their bread and butter, the fucking simple jobs that most people dont do because they're afraid they'll break something, comes off as disingenuous. something as simple as swapping out a wax seal on a toilet can net a plumber a couple hundred in labor for 15 minutes work, "how to" videos on youtube has absolutely cut into that market.

Not really. Plumbing/Carpentry/etc. tend to not be done by most people because they are hard to do right over any length of time correctly. If anything most would hate Youtube because it makes the jobs look way easier than they actually are, and thus they would have to come in after the owner had already royally screwed up.
i swapped out all the water valves in my house a year ago, without youtube i'd have never tried it because i'd never used a soldering torch and didn't know how to work with copper pipe. probably saved a grand because of it.

so you think consumers should stop buying everything and the economy does infact crash because you cannot fathom politicians ever enacting laws?
that is a pretty weird take

especially when we have laws in the past that had fixed some issues similar that we have had in the past
i'm sorry are you suggesting that the current legislature full up with republicans who refuse to do anything beneficial for people with a net wealth below 10mil would actually write those laws? or did you just fail civics and dont understand how laws work?

The problem with FSR is that it's not dlss. It wasn't even designed to be like dlss. It's quite literally just a form of upscaling. It was grossly oversold as a viable way to improve performance without hurting image quality.
yes it was great marketing on AMDs part. still doesn't really change what i said though. DLSS is hardware dependent and locked behind priced tools, the incentive for game developers isn't very high to implement it when the other buzzword upscaling feature is free and available for all platforms. if nvidia wants to see DLSS more widely used they need to start handing it out to game developers for free, if they did this they could hugely increase the number of games with DLSS and use it as a major selling point for their GPU.

FSR looks like shit though.

I don't even know why it exists. It's awful.
its open source and every GPU brand can use it, and while its not as nice looking as dlss it does give a good performance bump. why would developers cater to only a portion of their PC consumers and be forced to pay nvidia for the right, when they can use FSR for free and even implement it on consoles?

nvidia could fix this, they could take stop gating DLSS behind the gameworks banner and let developers use it for free.
