I also planted two Elaeagnus multiflora after reading that they fix nitrogen and produce edible berries. However, I opted for a more cultivated variety with yellow fruits, since the fruit of most other varieties is said not to taste as good. Hopefully I get my first taste this year.

This should be part of a show called: Trolling European or actual American?

I know some Americans who would readily call cake “bread”. But they know that it’s not great and contains too much sugar and/or molasses.

Bread is water, flour and salt; perhaps some oil to keep it moist and maybe fancy stuff like carrots or seeds. But never sugar. There’s already sugar hidden everywhere else. No need to add it to a staple food aswell.

Well, there’s “Imagine how cool that would be, bro”.

And they are kinda right, if you imagine it a fair bit cooler than it would actually be…, bro.

Other than that, you’d have to pretty much disregard anything learned from this. And you’d have to disregard the entire issue of getting rid of heat, powering a power hungry system that’s in earths shadow half the time, maintaining a server farm that’s constantly 500-1500km away from any technician and also in a vacuum, along with managing a solar flares, 500ms of latency and bits of sand traveling at 10km/s hitting your servers - oh and your boss being on drugs half the time.

But it’s not all robot wolves!

Why is she choosing the bear over the robot wolf that makes no sense. The bear is clearly stronger!

(just in case)

Was it? There are children in there. I have a feeling that the extra height may have saved the children in the back seats from being crushed by a truck half the size of the school bus.

As long as they manage to find food and don’t dry out, basically forever. My Nepenthes likes constantly slightly moist soil, so the gnats took a liking to it. At some point it got rather annoying, so I applied SF nematodes. Since then I see maybe one gnat per week.

The gnats are not gone, but they now regulate themselves, so they stopped being a problem.

Electronics are mostly solid state and are therefore virtually wear-free.

If it’s designed well, they could actually be more reliable than pushing fluids through tubes. But pushing fluids through tubes is already pretty fucking reliable.

I think the main point is to eliminate rusting brake discs from EVs, which rely largely on regenerative braking anyway. I know mine are constantly crusty; like I can always hear them scraping for the first few hundred meters of driving. Which is prolly not great.

I really liked the trend of rating notbooks for MIL-STD-810.

MIL-STD-810 itself does not require equipment manufacturers to actually perform the tests defined in it, nor does it require that anything passes those tests.

Amazing.

I use the T14s G6, running Fedora Silverblue, as my only PC. I bought it mainly for its AMD 880M iGPU, which just hits the performance I need for the few games I still play, as well as its mobility so I can blender on the go (and because I got fed up with the seemingly endless hiccups from my ASUS G14).

It’s good. No issues I know of. The display is a bit slow even for a 60Hz panel, but the battery life is stellar (probably also because of the slow panel).

However, if it’s static, as you say, I’m not sure if a small desktop PC wouldn’t be the better choice overall. After all, modern ThinkPads are pretty expensive.

I’m for the centralized ‘pump it to the treatment plant’ idea. I know several people that just flush their dryer lint down the toilet.

*a whore moan?

Edit: Guys, please. It’s vitamin D. Vitamin D! Please! My joke is funny, I swear! :'(

That’s when the 80:20 rule comes to rescue.

Is the issue solved and doesn’t require any action anymore?

YSK: Cellulose can be made extremely durable and water resistent. The wallet I’ve been using for a decade now is made of cellulose. The stitching was kinda bad from the start, so I’ve had to repair it once. But the material itself is still holding stong. And it feels nice and is very grippy.

Would you concede that there is a difference between an hobbyist making minor adjustments to a image and a multibillion-dollar company that’s promoting a solution that effectively replaces the entire image with a new a one and that creating a ecosystem depentend on such a solution may go the same way PhysX did?

Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”?

This such a bad take and demonstrates a total disregard for the role of technical artists and design.

Anti-aliasing aims to overcome an inherent limitation a raster (of pixels) may present, in oder to bring the actual result closer to an artist’s vision. The same can be said for any other technique. The common denominator is, that they all attempt to bring a artistd vision for their work closer to reality.

DLSS5, on the other hand, brings the result closer to Nvidias vision of what “good” looks like. And I think it looks bland and badly photoshopped and I want to see more good looking games.

Because of some comments, I’d like to add:

“Optimization” isn’t the same as “high fps”. Optimization is a game of priorities. Take the demo scene: these programs may be 64KB in size (on disk) but are capable of choking a 5090 to death.

This may just mean we get even worse performing titles, because the “quadruple-A” guys don’t give a fuck.

“Those seem rather small. Do you have one with more girth? No no. The dose can stay the same.”

I love this. It leaves just enough out so that it’s not immediately obvious what’s happening, but gives enough clues so that you can figure it out as you scroll.

It builds up nicely, and once you understand it, it leaves you feel clever & very fulfilled as a reader.

You’ve basically figured out Valve’s (the video game company) definition of “fun” for a short comic strip. You should be proud of that! Also love the style. I hope to see more whenever you find inspiration.

I propose the body temperature of an average opossum as the fixed point for 100 because they are cute as heck. We shall call this unit Possigrade. And anything above 100 Possigrade should be called the ‘rabies zone’ and 0 Possigrade should correspond to 8°C, as this feels very cold when dressed inappropriately. In addition, there is now the Bakers Possigrade, where 100 corresponds to 27°C, as this is the temperature at which sourdough bread rises by about ⅓ in 5.5 hours.

But seriously: Celsius is fine. On Earth, we are primarily interested in water at atmospheric pressure. Too many things contain water (pipes, food, paint, etc) and they react differently at 0 °C than at 4 °C. For this reason, we deliberately avoid using water in applications that are regularly exposed to sub-zero temperatures. Water is simply everywhere, so 0 °C and 100 °C are important tipping points for general use.
