  • Also autistic person here - in terms of scents I can’t stand strong smells like lavender, and roses. But I do like the smell of cherry blossoms and cinnamon.

    Texture also has an interesting effect - there are some textures that gives me fingernails on chalkboard level aversion. But other I enjoy a lot.

    Looks. I like boobs, I like butts, I like ladies who take care of themselves without being too skinny or overweight. - proportions matter. I like the look of the rear end of my car, and the fact that it has racing stripes. I like fender flares, but again, proportions matter. In terms of tech, I like copious, unicorn vomit amounts of RGB (I do lighting for my church - one of two things that keeps me at that church, the other being the people there feel like family and are lovely people)

    Food. I like most foods, but I have an aversion to watermelon, celery, zucchini and cucumber for the texture as much as taste. I also don’t like raw tomatoes if they aren’t sauced up in some way (like in a sandwich it needs a helping of sweet chilli) and mushy peas make me want to throw up.











  • I have 2 PCs

    my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.

    My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.

    From what I can see, I’ve not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn’t do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don’t really use it much. It’s connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don’t have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.

    Full specs of my second PC, as it’s quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.



  • It’s like “believe in God and he will provide” fuck that noise, we need action and belief. We need proactiveness. We need people to act not just believe.

    FFS, the only person who was only ever able to provide like that in the bible was Jesus. And there was always a prerequisite to it - he had to have something he could multiply - he didn’t conjure wine out of nowhere, he needed water to convert. He didn’t randomly produce the food for 5000 he needed fish and bread to begin with.

    Even in the bible people had to at least do the bare minimum for shit to happen. These guys are withholding even that and saying prayer is the answer. Like it’s a cure all, it’s not, and it never was.






  • Going through some of those parts, chances are some of them are probably unsealed - though I suspect google maps will always generally try to pick the sealed roads.

    As for petrol stations… Yeah keep a few Jerrys with you, just in case, as well as a spare full size tire or two (space savers are a bad idea in the outback) as well as a toolbox, with basic tools, hose clamps, etc. and plenty of drinking water/snacks. Maybe even a few packed lunches.

    The nullaboar (Latin for “no tree”) plains along the coast of south/western Australia are well known for having the one long, straight, featureless Eyre highway with a whole lot of space Between petrol stations. The most dangerous thing about those roads is fatigue from looking at the constant unchanging scenery for hours at a time. The second is running out of fuel or breaking down - where you gotta hope you’ve got the shit to fix stuff, because it’s highly unlikely you’ll see a friend on the road for at least an hour or two, if not longer.

    It’s so long that there are three designated airstrips on the highway designed for emergency landings and air ambulances (royal flying doctor service FTW - seriously, those guys deserve all the praise, true heros)
