Oh yeah real talk they’ve got some killer datacenter chips, be that networking, CPU or GPU. They’re continuing to work on bleeding edge technologies for hyperscalers, and they’ve got no shortage of insane potential. But when they release two generations of desktop processors with hardware bugs it really puts a heck of a stain on such a stellar portfolio and makes it a lot easier for enterprises to look at AMD for their datacenter and client processors (especially when they’re absolutely killing it like they have been in both segments!)

Ohh, all of our users are getting frequent BSODs? SMOKE BOMB!

I read that in Krieger’s voice

…So whoever they hire as CEO now is probably there to just distribute golden parachutes and eat the company as it dies :/

This is assuming there isn’t some gold in the pipeline. Timeline on a new CPU design is about 8 years from first drawings to actual silicon hitting media test benches, meaning whatever was started in 2019 and 2020 could be absolutely killer and just cooking to perfection in the R&D oven…assuming R&D was kept sufficiently funded and the engineering talent retained to see such a process through

You clearly haven’t experienced the average person who thinks ketchup is a bit much and black pepper is too spicy

Elevating the most realistic comment from the linked thread:

This is quite common for extensions in the UK at least. If there is a man hole you can often get permission to build over it but you would need to be able to provide access should it be needed. In the 15 years of living in a houses with one under our kitchen no one has ever needed access. These is one just outside in the side passage so likely most blockages should they arise could be cleared from that one. A previous property was similar but they had tiled and concreted over so would make a mess should they ever need access.

Edit: one in our kitchen, if access was needed they would need to move kitchen units and break grout. https://imgur.com/gallery/OU0jFvk

I shall live forever then!

Not to be that guy, but as someone who quit caffeine entirely, honestly it’s kinda great not needing caffeine. I traded my daily coffee for water and now I just drink shitloads of water and it’s honesty glorious. Waking up and just…going is amazing

Wanted to throw it out there because it seems not many people try to kick caffeine

I mostly drink water and generally love me a good tall glass of ice cold water. Does that mean my water habit will kill me at some point?

I’ve generally seen deer hunters use one of those little tow hitch storage bed thingies for deer, both on trucks and smaller vehicles

Can I just point out this was standard practice for debt collectors like 15 years ago? Seriously they’d try to call your job, your family, neighbors and if they could, even friends to harass you to collect on the debt they bought rights to collect.

I’ve found my body is similar. Sweet spot for me seems to be about 7 hours consistently or a mix of 6s and 9s as they roll in.

I’ve also learned that I can do 6 hours for about 3 nights in a row and no more than that.

Whenever my kids let me sleep like a sane human I might become more consistent with my sleep

I mean frequent consumption is pretty well documented to be bad for your liver, and they don’t call it a beer belly for nothing. Like any kind of indulgence, moderation is key

Also worth noting beer historically was very very light on alcohol, so it was effectively a method of making water safe to drink rather than about having fun getting drunk

Most radiators are just a big metal thing which a hot liquid slowly flows through to radiate the heat into the space. Kinda hard for that to be bad for you unless you burn yourself

Most heated blankets have such a feature

My wife uses on every night, and it’s just a Walmart special no-name brand heating pad. Never had problems with burning even with kids and pets in the mix to really do a number on them

Nah whats a little rapid oxidization between friends?

Unusually authentic Mexican food. Up here 90% of Mexican places are run by white dudes who make semi-authentic “fusion” dishes that are mainly just spicy. Cross the border and less than 15 minutes in, there is one family-run chain (Rancho Chico, Rancho Grande) with super-cheap 100% authentic foods run and staffed solely by Mexicans. And like, holy shit, that’s good food.

A friend’s boyfriend is a Mexican citizen working on immigrating and he explained it to me once that for non-citizens it’s far easier to start a business than to get a job, so many immigrants end up starting shops or restaurants related to their culture as they slowly work their way through the immigration process. This has led to absolutely amazing Mexican and Latin American cuisine in every corner of the country as well as lots of brilliant ethnic stores specializing in hard to get items for people from that culture. I live in a small town of about 12k and have 1 Mexican store, 1 Mexican ice cream shop and 3 Mexican restaurants! In rural Wisconsin!

Bruh I poked the hexbear once when a dude was arguing over exactly how to classify the Uyiger genocide. Something about how “it’s not a genocide, but just an ethnic cleansing” they really didn’t like when I pointed out just how weird of an argument that is. Fascists usually short circuit pretty fast under redicule
