And also consider that even if you block out the ad the people around you probably haven’t, the most effective ad is the one your friend saw.

There’s some cool 5.1 and even 7.1 stuff in classical music (I don’t have a a surround sound setup myself but I hear a lot of talk of it).

You can also use a water bottle or watering can, although I can’t really recommend that experience but that’s what people who are socialized to use them do when they can’t afford/install a proper one.

I always thought of it more like “give me some motivation to add more stuff” in that “I turn coffee into code” sense.

I totally agree, I object to the idea that people will just needlessly waste ambulance resources.

It’s just not really true, when I broke my foot (as a Canadian) I didn’t really consider an ambulance, because I didn’t need stabilizing or healthcare on the ride over and i probably didnt want to go to the ER over UC during the height of covid. I just hopped in an Uber, which got me there faster, why would i want the whole gurny and flashing lights. There are certainly people who would have called an ambulance in my situation (and plenty of situations where a broken foot warrants an ambulance too) but there are also plenty of rich Americans who would do that too.

Konami has been in the casino business for about as long as it’s been in the video gaming industry.

It’s pretty easy to make them use faux swearwords and then you can just apply a find and replace over that.

If sfc is finding anything with any regularity then your hard drive is probably failing (or maybe malware).

Mercury didn’t win a medal but was given an honorary one for winning the freestyle orbital revolution in a record 88 days.

that happens regardless of whether you have an account.

Well craigslist in my area is kinda dead so Facebook market place is the only place to do local buying and selling. It also acts as a lowest common denominator, I find someone on facebook send a few messages until we agree on some other social media to continue communicating on. Then My family uses What’s app and has done since before they were acquired by meta. Getting them to switch is something I push for, but I’m not holding my breath.

Amd has always run really lean in terms of employees which hurts their quality imo. In 2016 (a year before ryzen 1 came out amds lowest point quality wise) intel had ~100k employees, at the same time amd had a little over 8000 and supported a wider portfolio of products, today amd is up to about 30k and it shows (although until last week intel was also up to 130k)

Idk if their problems are a matter of customer service.

I lived near a bison farm for a while, bison meat is just amazing, much juicier than beef.

I think if it’s going on every windows computer

It’s not, its just popular. Its not windows job to police what software you choose to run on it.

However Windows does actually have an optional certification program called WHQL for kernal level drivers. Getting this certification lets updates get posted via windows’ internal updater. It checks the driver calls apis correctly and doesn’t misbehave with interrupt handling among other tests. Crowdstrike driver did pass this, and in fact there was no bug with the driver, the bug was with the configuration file. The configuration file updates about once an hour (and it really needs to do that), and does so outside the windows update process, making windows powerless to control its rollout. whql certification takes a few days to run and configuration files aren’t really in scope.

Idk I think there are probably a lot of journalists who qt least go truth social, to study and report on what the most right wing groups are doing.

I mean maybe, it’s just a back of napkin calculation i didnt spend more than a 5s search, think of it as a lower bound I guess. I don’t think my conclusion really changes if it’s 40% vs 20%, point is that it’s more than enough to power peak usage. I tried digging a bit more but couldn’t find anything that contradicted or confirmed it. Here in Canada 1MWh per month is typical for an electrified house (ie electric heating, cooling and stovetop), but our houses are big, our electricity generally cheap and our climate different.

Wikipedia lists avg consumption per capita for China as 5MWh/person/yr, half that of the US, Canada and Australia but that doesn’t take into account household size which imagine is higher in china. Also worth noting China has been adopting evs relatively quick and they generally take a huge amount of power.
