- Comment on Texas Needs Equivalent of 30 Reactors to Meet Data Center Power Demand 2 days ago:
No dummy, you’re missing a decimal point. California only pays 19 CENTS per kwh.
And if conservative Texas is so great how come they pay 20% more per kwh for electricity than deep blue Washington State?
Everything’s bigger in Texas, especially the idiots & excuses.

Press Gazette asked Guardian management whether this was a breach of its deal with the NUJ. A spokesperson said this was a matter for Tortoise Media…
“Their check cleared, not our problem anymore.”

If you manufactured the software then your engineers understand it
Ah I see the misunderstanding, the engineers were sacked after they finished writing the code.

- Comment on Shower thoughts 1 week ago:
In the early weeks of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid is mostly water that comes from your body. After about 20 weeks of pregnancy, your baby’s urine makes up most of the fluid.
Nah they’ve been soaking in piss for 4+ months.
- Comment on Shower thoughts 1 week ago:
So, piss? They’re marinating in piss? That’s what makes them smell the way they do?
- Comment on Xenon 1 week ago:
iirc it’s a dissociative.
I remember Hamilton’s pharmacopeia doing an episode on it. Apparently it is/was popular in Russia.
Here’s a video of Hamilton doing some: youtu.be/dj25HO48Gxw

If Trump revokes the citizenship of all the anchor babies, would he still be able to run?

Yeah, but it’s apple, so be prepared to pay 8x the market rate for storage

Isn’t the most famous honeymooner’s memes:
One of these days, Alice! BANG! ZOOM! Straight to the moon!
Not taking about rockets, he’s threatening to beat his wife

- On original/oem carts, but on ever drive carts there is also an rtc.

Is joke. At least 98% joke, but 2% serious in that you can technically do this. Best practice would be to discharge caps first. The only danger is in it still being wet when you put electricity through it.

I forgot the battery is actually in the cartridge, so as long as you take the game out, it should be good. Cr1616 for rtc/saves.

No, that’s impossible, they were only born like . . . Oh good when did I become an old?

Turn it off, remove the battery, and put it in the dishwasher on a gentle setting. Then wait a week or two for it to fully dry before powering on again
- Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point 3 weeks ago:
iirc anything after 802.11ac doesn’t allow AP mode on client devices. Something about not being able to scan for restricted channels in 5/6ghz

And Canada
- Comment on Some eggs for my 'murican friends 3 weeks ago:
If you’re in usa, it’s illegal to sell the good ones. You’re not allowed to have inedible, non-food items fully surrounded by food. Items like corndogs are ok since the stick is exposed, but the plastic eggs fully enclosed by chocolate are not ok.
We can’t have nice things because American corporations couldn’t be trusted to not bake rocks into bread, unless it was against the law
- Comment on Designed/Printed a stand for my electric screwdriver, with a space for bits and a nice tray. 3 weeks ago:
Had this same thought. Maybe the cable channel could be the divider for separate screw trays.

The pesticides are almost certainly the fault of the grower, but the bacteria I’m not so certain
- Comment on 3D printer 'bone filament' simulates real bones, helps surgeons practice operations 5 weeks ago:
It behaves the same as normal bone with most tools, but it just isn’t as porous real bone so you can’t get that real soaked-in-the-blood-of-your-enemies look if that’s what you’re going for.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 1 month ago:
That’s fair, if you don’t need medium high graphics performance, going down to an apu would quiet down the fans a lot.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 1 month ago:
Or get a 7600xt or 4060 and reduce the gpu power draw from 275w to 165w~115w while doubling the graphics capabilities
The GPU in the 5600g is half as performant 1050ti, which is already like half of a 390

I’ve said it before, but I don’t think they’ll do a 2nd cache this generation. If they do it’s gotta be named 9999x3d

Buddy, if you can’t follow a thread, there’s probably no one here who can help you.
- Comment on Too dumb to understand where the gas tank opening is 1 month ago:
His point is that you have it backwards:
“Metre” is the preferred spelling in British English, while “meter” is preferred in American English and other forms of English outside the UK.

When it comes to accessibility, yes
