    Lyrics:

    spoiler

    Pull the plug (x8)


    I drove my truck into a moving van

    It was all filled up with jet fuel and

    I crashed right in and explosion

    Smash through the window and ripped off my hands

    Medical team drove up and found me

    Bleeding in pieces picked up off the street

    Drove me into a filthy hospital

    Horror experienced financially

    Woke up in pain in a gown in bed

    Internal hemorrhaging inside my head

    I really think that I should be dead

    I saw the bill and then I cry bled

    To keep me alive it is costing me

    National deficit times three

    There is no way to avoid this fee

    Please pull the plug and kill me


    It’s costing too much

    Pull the plug

    It’s costing too much

    Pull the plug (x16)


    Aneurysm

    Botulism

    Epilepsy

    Narcolepsy

    Pull the plug

    Nearsighted

    Breath lighted

    Cataracts

    Heart attacks

    Pull the plug

    Hepatitis

    Bronchitis

    Appendicitis

    Arthritis

    Pull the plug

    Encephalitis

    Adenitus

    Mastoiditus

    Capsulitus

    Pull the plug now (x4)


    Pay you my life instead of life support

    Harvest my plasma because it’s worth more

    Take all my blood and my organs

    Sell them to buyers over in third worlds

    Burn my cadaver for some energy

    Charge the patients in their misery

    Such a strong quarter for the industry

    Pharmaceutical fucking victory


    Can’t pay the price

    Pull the plug

    Pay with my life

    Pull the plug

    Say my farewell

    Pull the plug

    See you in hell

    I’ll fucking pull the plug




  • Any quirks that nobara might have for someone looking to switch from windows to linux on a gaming pc (tower, not laptop)?

    Some (possibly) relevant system specs:

    • Intel i5 9600k

    • RTX 2060

    • Two monitors (adaptive/G sync on my main).

    I’ve heard that multiple monitors and/or adaptive sync has some issues on some distros which is my main reason for asking.

    And a more tangential thought:

    I’ve also heard that Windows installs tend to fuck with linux installs. Is this the case when they’re on different drives? I kinda wanna just try different distros on a spare sata ssd, but my windows install is on my NVME which has a heat sync plate screwed over it, and I don’t wanna go through the hassle of pulling it out if it won’t make a difference.


  • Question: what kind of impact would this really have on the battery life of a standard laptop?

    The article is suggesting it uses about 2-3 watts less power than older models, but that sounds like very little. Would this have any effect on the lifespan of the hard drive also? Are there other significant factors (like heat) that make this a noteworthy improvement?

    Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate seeing computer parts trying to go for power efficiency and frankly I wish more companies would (namely GPU manufacturers), but a hard drive just seems like an odd choice to strive for low power draw at the cost of read/write speed.


  • Hoo boy if you want a janky as fuck space game that’s also insanely fun, check out Empyrion: Galactic survival (Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/383120/Empyrion__Galactic_Survival/). Specifically, Reforged Eden, which is a full overhaul mod of Empyrion. Shoutout to HWS, the public PvE server I played on.

    Explore planets, kill aliens, do some mining, build a base/production site, build a lopsided ship from scratch and realize that weight and center of mass are a thing, cry when you didn’t put enough shielding on your fuel tanks and they explode your whole ship.

    Explore space, kill alien space ships, do some space mining, build a space base(!), realize that artificial gravity is a thing as you sail away from your space station, cry when your oxygen runs out.

    A lot of game aspects feel like they’re from the 90s, but other aspects are super in depth and really fun to figure out and optimize.
