Who cut whose dreads off?

Tell that to my pixel

I got a new laptop last month for $2200US, it has 24 cores. i9-14900HX

I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don’t think I’ve gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.

Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that’s the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel…how’s that 286 doing for you?

He Heard it was the new thing to do.

I guess you couldn’t have been an archer in ancient Rome.

Are you including the R&D costs? Best estimates I’ve seen for a mechzilla put labour and materials between 65-95 million USD

I thought it blew up because after tipping over the tanks ruptured - a normal result of a rocket tip-over. Am I mistaken?

I think you’ve got too many zeros on your price estimate, no? The tower is huge, but there’s no way it costs five hundred million dollars.

Right?! This right here.

I was once yelled at by a friend of a girl for “ignoring her advances.” I kid you not, the “advances” consisted of her walking up to me at a party, saying “hey, aren’t you in my math class?” (To which I answered in the affirmative) and “well, um, I guess I’ll see you there Monday!”

How the fuck was I supposed to know that was an attempt at flirting?

The older gay guy at work? “You’re gorgeous. Ever consider dating a man?”

It’s not, it’s a twittex screen cap.

Jokes on you, the buttons will be on the wrong side! Ahahahahaha

Edit: yes I know t-shirts don’t have buttons. Bad attempt at humour. Not deleting because I stand behind my mistakes.

How obvious is it that it’s a bot?

Thank you for the additional information and effort in sharing this. This is really well written - informative, easy to read, and enjoyable.

The war reparations that France demanded of Germany post WW1 contributed to creating an economic environment where the rise of a ‘National Socialist’ party seemed like a good idea to the average German. IIRC, America and Britain tried to get France to be more reasonable and France basically said “I’ll keep whipping until they stop crying” The Dawes plan helped provide European stability at the end of the 20s, but the crushing debt was used by Hitler as a tool in his rise to power.

Correct answer. You can see the ground fractured around the pole.

I un-licenced the Emily games from my steam library. The writing felt… arrogant? Like, it didn’t matter what you chose you were wrong.

I know what consent is, I don’t need a videogame to do things without mine and then rub it in my face.

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.

My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.

I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.

I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.
