he said he did bring me a 3090 but he dropped it on the way to my house. I appreciate the gesture. He installs Linux on my gaming computer and uninstalls the kernel while trying to install Steam. He takes a sledgehammer to my ISP-provided router and replaces it with some super-expensive UniFi hardware

oh no he spotted me

now he's trying to get me to buy a shirt and a water bottle off his web shop. I refuse because the import and shipping would double the price. he insists. I ask him why he didn't just bring some, I could pay him cash. He says cash won't fit in his ridge wallet.

Linus has finished the sponsor break and is now trying to wire my home with 2.5gig fiber internet, which would be nice but he doesn't understand solid brick walls so he keeps breaking his saw trying to cut the drywall

quick break for our sponsor: ridge wallet! If you only carry credit cards and zero coins like some kind of american, and also wanna tell everyone how much better your wallet is than theirs, pay them way too much money for a glorified credit card holder
maybe it's good idk I carry that one Eastpak wallet everyone had in college because it was the one non-leather one they had

I swear the next person that says "the pandemic is over" catches these hands

I guess that's why they call him an "influencer"

lmao Linus Techtips actually "inspired" apt to stop offering to remove essential packages

the Emmi's eye-thing has a nice reflective effect and Samus' suit is just a super-cool design. There's some great detail too

plague, dewormer, actual science 

Fascinating meta-analysis of ivermectin and covid research.

TLDR: studies that show ivermectin is successful in treating covid all come from places with serious parasite problems. It's not "ivermectin helps fight covid," it's "having worms makes you vulnerable to covid."

Started reading the Tomb Raider comic series (based on the 2013 reboot, written by Rhianna Pratchett and Gail Simone) yesterday and dang I've been missing out

I just found out that there's a new .pet TLD, in case anyone needs new vanity domains
