Yep

Well just to be clear: I’m absolutely NOT shitting on them for doing this, particularly in this geopolitical context. That was my original point, as a matter of fact.

For them? No. For the region and the world overall, because carbon doesn’t give a shit about national boundaries: absolutely.

We can’t keep thinking in terms of “how does it affect country X”. This is a global problem, and it must be framed as such.

…that’s quite pedantic, tbh. I’d say it’s rather implicit that a wind farm wouldn’t be planned for an area that doesn’t experience strong winds consistently.

Can you name any others?

“Forever elections” are the new normal, imo.

I fucking hate it too :(

Though the carbon implications are unfortunate, this is quite frankly an extremely pragmatic and prudent decision in a geopolitical sense. Hopefully they can consider reviving the project once all the bullshit Russia is doing concludes one way or the other, but for now, this definitely seems like the right call. Seriously , this is probably the ONLY legitimate reason I think I’ve ever seen for halting an offshore wind farm.

I cannot fucking wait for the bottom to fall out of the real estate market. I’m on the wrong side of 35, and owning ANYTHING reasonably sized for a reasonable price has just seemed deeply laughable for the entirety of my career.

…what?

So the smart move here for AMD would have been to bin the chips differently according to their tested stability for power usage, like Intel T SKUs. It’s the same chip, but the “X” versions are running at full power (with bios options to turn it down to be more efficient, or aggressively scale power delivery, or what have you), and “E” versions that just always run at lower voltages and currents.

I agree that cutting TDP nearly in half while STILL pulling out a perf gain is remarkable, but also not something most gamers are going to care much about in the context of a desktop system.

From what I’ve seen over the years and in the lead-up to the election - and frankly, what specifically concerns me about this election - is that there are going to be a LOT of trumpians in a LOT of local and state law enforcement and electoral positions who knowingly and willingly violate all sorts of laws with the interest of interfering in the electoral process at any and all levels to push things towards Trump.

He’s more or less promised to pardon the lot of them. Which, technically, would be within his power if he weasels into office. They’re they’re not only cognizant of their own guilt, but also motivated to follow through on whatever they’re planning, because they know they’re probably already in some very murky legal waters, and for them, the only way “out” is through a Trump win and a (hypothetical, though I expect ultimately vaporware) blanket pardon because they “helped Trump win”.

This is why Trump “loves the uneducated”: they’re statistically easier to scam.

There’s not one. The Texas election officials and DeJoy did this intentionally.

At this point, it’s really the fault of the cities involved for not insisting he pay up front. He’s fucking NOTORIOUS for doing this, and has been since 2015 at least, and it was a well-known and established behavior pattern in the 2020 campaign.

They are going to keep the guns thing wide open as long as elections are a thing. Once they’ve gotten to a place where they’ve cemented their power in a way where voting doesn’t really matter anymore, they’re gonna take ‘em away right fucking quick.

It’s an opinion piece they published so they can appear “unbiased”. But it’s a really fucking stupid opinion, to be perfectly blunt.

I see what you did there

He’s just angry he didn’t get to tell it where to go with his sharpie :(

• Greta: what? What are you talking about? Neolibs: sure, they hate her. Most reasonable, intelligent leftists? They’re basically cheering her on, myself included.
• Russia: not everything, but the fact that the guy running Russia - who not only orchestrated false flag attacks on his own country to help get into power, but also was a KGB agent who worked very closely with the GDR’s Stasi in the late Cold War - is and has been using the Russian foreign intelligence apparatuses to conduct extremely aggressive foreign influence and espionage campaigns for DECADES should not come as a surprise.
• Liz Cheney: I and many other leftists categorically detest her politics. But the reason I still respect her to a degree is that she’s come out staunchly against fascism, and it cost her her whole political career to do it. I will always respect someone who stands against fascism, even when it costs them ENORMOUSLY in a personal and professional sense.

There’s nuance here, and you’re intentionally ignoring it.

There’s a lot of reasons I was amused by the crossover episode making LD unambiguously canon for the haters, but one of my favorites is “fuck you, moopsy is canon too”.
