He didn't create PayPal. He co-founded x.com, and was replaced as ceo for being inexperienced in less than a year. x.com later merged with confinity, which operated PayPal. It was at this point that musk returned as CEO, until he got kicked out again in 2000.

Thank you, this seems like the best solution. Unfortunately, both of my spare GPUs are dvi-d, so I will still have to buy one.

I would prefer performance vaguely similar to a dirt cheap card from 2014, nothing crazy. And that isn't a necessity, I just want to maintain most of the functionality it already has.

If I remember correctly the board does have a spare pci slot, so how would I go about running two cards in parallel?

If you move them off your boot drive, you should be fine. Linux has support for windows file systems.

Gross to me that multiple comments here are ignoring this reality. Crimes committed by men against women in situations like that are so common that women aren't protecting themselves unless they consider every unfamiliar man a potential threat.

Obviously women can also commit crimes against men, but its so much less common that I don't have to take precautions to protect myself against them.

As a man it kind of sucks when you are assumed to be dangerous even when you aren't, but you need to get over it. Its not worth it for women to compromise their safety, and assume you to not be a threat just to make you feel better.

You mean women are also capable of committing crimes? I'm gonna need some more sources for an outlandish take like that.

Taiwan is only strategically important to the us because it manufactures those chips. Trump's goal is to increase production in the us, so we aren't forced to intervene when mainland China comes for them.

I've seen boomers complain about a lot of things, but young people's propensity for addiction is not one of them.

I wish it was considered normal for games like this to die out. Trying to maintain your audience with new content every few months is unsustainable. Ideally these games would release with the content the designers intended, no more and no less, and they would slowly lose their less dedicated players.

That way the more dedicated players aren't frustrated by having to keep up with a rapidly changing game, and can just get better in peace. I would guess this wouldn't be profitable for a free to play game with micro-transactions. But, I have a crazy idea. Just charge for the game up front.

No, because Facebook is not explicitly designed for the sole purpose of illegal transactions. Very clear difference.

I think its slightly dishonest to frame this as him simply "creating a website". He created a marketplace to sell drugs on, I just don't understand the sympathy. I feel bad for low level drug dealers in jail, this guy not so much.

I would agree it could've been handled differently, same with every other aspect of the war on drugs. But celebrating this guy is a step too far for me.
