1. You think milkshakes are the best food

2. Medical knowledge says you shouldn’t try to only live off milkshakes

3. You say the medical community is part of a conspiracy by Big Vegetable

The Phenom 2?!

I barely remember it, but yeah, it was a beast.

But my 1700x went hard for five years. The only reason I tacked the extra 5 on was x3d changes things up.

Now, since I’ve made that comment AMD has solved the Zen 5 latency issues but cutting it by more than half. That’s what was holding it back. So when the Zen 5 x3d comes out, it’s going to be nuts.

But…

It’s going to take a while for those changes to become industry standard. It might be a year before Zen 5 x3d, I’m not sure if they’ve even announced when. So games won’t take full advantage of them right away.

It takes like a 4070 super to CPU bound a 7800x3d, and fine tune some settings and it’ll balance out

We’re not going to have a new screen resolution jump, and that combo can max out 4k 120fps on pretty much anything thanks to frame generation without even touching upscaling.

There’s just not a lot to improve until we see a major jump like VR finally taking off.

the price of Zen 4 has dropped, and the 7800X3D in particular looks compelling to those who might’ve wanted Zen 5.

This is the big one.

Literally the best gaming chip from any company is a Zen 4 and surprisingly cheap

For most people they won’t need anything more than a 7800x3d for 5 maybe even 10 years?

I’d hate to say what GPU it takes to make cpu the bottleneck on one of those.

The bay in particular is like a door to fucking Narnia…

It’s never in the place it was last time, so bookmarks “expire” when the main site has to move, which seems to be multiple times a year

Yep.

The OG Light Bringer sentenced to eternal damnation for providing knowledge to humans.

And yes, I’m still salty Christians made him the bad guy.

It might seem like a subjective question, but the answer is objectively Prometheus and his replacements in other cultures.

Someone that went against God(s) to give humans knowledge that at the time was considered magical

Like, we talk about how much tech changes stuff today, but fucking fire?

Imagine being alive when your group of humans mastered fire. That shit would have been fucking mind breaking.

I have vivid memories of people having the firm belief that there was something up with the attack on 9/11. Was this just my social circle?

“Conspiracy” covers a lot of area.

There’s people that think explosives were planted because “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” and they’ve always been ridiculed.

There are people that look at facts that the different intelligence agencies had all the information to put it together, but due to Dick Cheney requiring each agency only report to him, he was the only one that saw every piece of the puzzle and would have known enough to stop it. GW didn’t even know enough, because Cheney was the only one talking directly to GW.

So some people have always thought Cheney (whether on his own or not) allowed 9/11 to happen to justify the wars he started under Regean and HW to continue indefinitely.

There’s people who claim Israel funded and caused it, when there isn’t really any evidence.

There’s people who claim Israeli spies were caught celebrating… But that was undocumented immigrants celebrating they got the day off work.

That’s how conspiracy theories spread.

They took a kernal.of truth and build on it till it becomes something completely out of control.

Immediately after 9/11 everyone had questions and that’s 100% normal, I think that’s what you’re remembering.

It’s not the same as insisiting an unfounded conspiracy theory was true based on spurious evidence.

Almost everyone agrees there should be more compromises in politics

Bullshit.

Republicans want to “compromise” by getting everything they want.

Moderates politicians want “compromise” by giving them half and telling progressives to be happy Republicans only get half.

So most politicians say they want compromise, but I’d have to see a source for “almost everyone” saying it. Most voters don’t want compromise.

Great.

So the social media site is older than I thought, and the person who made the comment on that site is a lot stupider than it seemed.

Like, Facebooks been around for about 20 years. Would you take a link to a Facebook comment over PBS?

And that linked accounts last comment was advocating for Biden to stage a pre-emptive coup before this election…

https://www.metafilter.com/activity/306302/comments/mefi/

It doesn’t matter if it was created before Ask Yahoo or if it’s older.

It’s random people making random social media comments, sometimes stupid people make the rare comment that sounds like they know what they’re talking about. And I already agreed no one had to take my word on it either.

But that PBS video does a really fucking good job explaining it.

Cuz if I can’t explain to you why a random social media comment isn’t a good source, I’m sure as shit not going to be able to explain anything like Penrose’s theory on consciousness to you.

That’s a social media comment from some Ask Yahoo knockoff…

Like, this isn’t something no one is talking about, you don’t have to solely learn about that from unpopular social media sites (including my comment).

I don’t usually like linking videos, but I’m feeling like that might work better here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa2Kpkksf3k

But that PBS video gives a really good background and then talks about the recent discovery.

Well, they also kept telling investors all they need to simulate a human brain was to simulate the amount of neurons in a human brain…

The stupidly rich loved that, because they want computer backups for “immortality”. And they’d dump billions of dollars into making that happen

About two months ago tho, we found out that the brain uses microtubules in the brain to put tryptophan into super position, and it can maintain that for like a crazy amount of time, like longer than we can do in a lab.

The only argument against a quantum component for human consciousness, was people thought there was no way to have even just get regular quantum entanglement in a human brain.

We’ll be lucky to be able to simulate that stuff in 50 years, but it’s probably going to be even longer.

Every billionaire who wanted to “live forever” this way, just got aged out. So they’ll throw their money somewhere else now.

For a lot of people the only reason they’re on social media is the slap fights

They don’t care about or know about half the shit they argue about, they just want to argue about something.

I block a lot of people once it becomes apparent that’s what they’re doing.

Yeah, except the food sucks and it’s full of Nazis…

The article says they don’t want to leave because of their high follower counts…

But most of them are bots, inactive, or Nazis following so they can troll comments easier.

They care about an empty number and won’t do the slightest work to improve an alternative.

If all you want is a participation trophy and no one to tell you how to do better, sure.

I don’t see the point in that, but I do see a point to honest feedback.

People want an easy “fight” to feel like they’re doing something.

They don’t understand that if all the “good people” left twitter, the right wingers would fight each other

Staying on Twitter just gives them all a common enemy and unites them, leaving fractures them.

So just fucking leave.

If someone is still questioning if they should be on Twitter, then they don’t know enough about what’s going on to speak about why people shouldnt still be using it.

It’s not exactly complicated.

Yes…

The ship has Internet…

For official business.

That’s not the same as everyone having wifi for anything.

For fucks sake, how can you not understand this? It’s really not that difficult…

I said:

This was for porn and maybe streaming services and social media, but mostly porn.

And on your second reply you said:

do you think the starlink terminal in the OP article was for military use?? bwahahaha

I stand by my original assessment after your first comment:

Yeah man, you have zero idea what people are talking about

Because you literally don’t understand the conversation

That article is about wifi for personal use…

And the second one is about it being free and you’re acting like they didn’t have Internet before then?

so no, I don’t think for the average sailor a US warship provides internet access 24/7

Yeah man, you have zero idea what people are talking about about.
