Blue_Morpho,

A piece of paper that sticks to most things is a sticker. Because toilet paper will stick to damp things despite not being a sticker.

Blue_Morpho, (edited )

But here’s the gut punch. If you were listening to Physical Graffiti in 1975, 24 years earlier was 1951.

That was the end of big band music. You know, oldies.

Blue_Morpho,

There’s a reason Dooku was friends with Qui-Gon. I like to imagine a better PM which would have shown that.

Like Qui-Gon and Dooku are working from the inside to reform the Jedi and take out Sideous but then QuiGon dies.

Blue_Morpho,

You left out that you need a $70 -$150 meat slicer.

Blue_Morpho,

You think I meant 20k?

“Probably saved nearly $20,000 on groceries those two months. Give or take”

I can’t tell if you are trolling

Blue_Morpho,

How does heat get from the water radiator to the air?

Radiation.

Atoms don’t physically touch. The electrostatic force that both binds atoms into molecules and keeps molecules separated is mediated by photon exchange.

Blue_Morpho,

Air cooling is not as effective as water cooling,

It’s not that simple because air cooling in pcs today means a heatpipe. A heatpipe uses fluid (such as water under a vacuum) that boils at a low temperature. The phase transition of liquid to vapor transfers hundreds of more times heat than simple conduction of cold water running over the CPU.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization

It’s how refrigerator compressors work to cool things so effectively. The genius of a heat pipe is it works without an electric compressor ( this limits it’s cooling ability but it’s still genius).

So a heatpipe CPU air cooler with a 120mm radiator will outperform a water-cooler with a 120mm radiator in almost every situation. The advantage of water-cooling is you can make that radiator huge (280mm is typical today), and place it on one of the side/top panels of the case where air is cool instead of deep inside where the air is hot.

Blue_Morpho,

conduction

The metal atoms in the fins don’t move into the air. They stay on the fins. The fins’ atoms have to transfer their kinetic energy via photon exchange to the atoms in the air.

So conduction is radiation at atomic distances.

Blue_Morpho,

someone in their life that was adversely affected by the vaccine.

There are rare side effects. When someone brings it up, it’s important to acknowledge it but qualify the risk. .0001% of heart problem or .1 % of death. Tell them it’s like driving without a seat belt because of the 1 in a million chance you get in an accident where the seatbelt traps you. Meanwhile 77% of all people have been in an accident.

Blue_Morpho,

“The COVID-19 age-adjusted death rate for the age 65 and over population was 533.5 per 100,000 standard population.”

“the death rate for COVID-19 among adults aged 85 and over (1,645.0 per 100,000)”

www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db446.htm

Assuming the relative was somewhere between 65 and 85 puts it at around 1 in a thousand.

Blue_Morpho,

I was saying 1 in a thousand to die from COVID vs 1 in a million to have complications from the vaccine.

I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

Blue_Morpho,

Is this new in the past few months? I was using mulvad with qbitorrent a few months ago and it was uploading.

Blue_Morpho,

That was lucky timing for me! I was updating all my media around June.

Blue_Morpho,

Make the microchips shaped like tiny guns. Sell it as a premium. Do you want a communism vaccine or a $100 vaccine that comes with a premium microchip gun so you can tell your friends you are always packing.

Blue_Morpho,

Works with 11 22H2. That’s a year out of date.

It’s the same problem that all the prepackaged modified Windows have when I go to try them out in a VM. They always seems to be way out of date and with all the security problems of Windows, I don’t want to run an old version just to save the time of cleaning out the telemetry and bloatware. Powershell scripts are more robust for me.

Blue_Morpho,

More than refund should be legally due. The cost to repurchase the product is what is due.

Blue_Morpho, (edited )

This won’t change until someone sells a yacht to a Senator with fine print that it’s only a perpetual license. Then comes back 3 years later and takes the yacht citing the fine print in the contract.

Blue_Morpho,

Everything was once “legally fine” until a court ruled otherwise.

Shrinkwrap licenses were once “legally fine”.

Blue_Morpho,

It’s as real as Kids requesting litter boxes

That was a more subtle disinformation deflection by conservatives. Schools did need litter boxes for mandated mass shooting lockdown preparations.

Instead of the horror of children needing to use litter boxes because American conservatives cant regulate their firearms, it was, “Haha, liberals want litter boxes for furries.”

Blue_Morpho,

Gates had a point. Everyone was spending thousands on hardware but wouldn’t spend a little more for Basic. There were free options, they weren’t poor ( computer hardware was very expensive in the 70’s), but everyone was using Basic without buying it.

It’s like today where people will spend thousands for a gaming PC, then complain about Windows when they should be using Linux.

Blue_Morpho,

They are selling your data anyway. The $30 covers their costs to market your data to advertisers.

Blue_Morpho,

Hiring takes time. It also required a lot more money than was budgeted because you need people who don’t have a 9-5. And lastly, not everyone lives in the city where there are buses.

Blue_Morpho,

as long as the town is designed well.

Unfortunately I have to live in the real world where towns aren’t designed well. Besides, the average yard in my neighborhood is 3.5 acres so general purpose public transportation wouldn’t work either.

Blue_Morpho,

I didn’t understand either but that’s the reason that they gave for quitting. Maybe some schools had a different afternoon driver.

Blue_Morpho,

A small town is 10,000-50,000 people. Average home price is $300k. There are around 2,000 towns of 10,000-50,000. That’s $18,000,000,000,000 to build some of the small towns in the US to be public transportation friendly. Who gets dragged out of their homes to make room for rebuilding?

And you’ll still have to problem that many people don’t want to live in crowded towns. Most people that like crowded cities are already living there.
