What do you mean by “when my BMW is reset”?

Köln is indeed special.
- Comment on Choose one before starting the game... 1 week ago:
Those cost increases are not unique to Cologne though. It starts with a cost estimate that’s way below that is highly unlikely to work out, but one that is politically feasible. Then costs increase and often enough, public sector decision makers are inept at damage control when unexpected things happen (which they do) and plans need to be reworked accordingly. Things then get out of hand and construction companies know that shit needs to get done at some point and there’s more money to be made once the child has fallen into the well.
You’re not gonna be able to start a 600 million euro project if you’re honest about it. You say it’ll be 250 million, get it greenlit, and go from there. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works everywhere. I’m not saying that there is no corruption involved, but I don’t think it’s the worst problem.

Yeah, the last paragraph of the article said so.

I’d be curious enough to go there, if I could be sure not to end up another Otto Warmbier.

Those motherfuckers can be huge, too. The building where I work has a kestrel nest. Last week, there was drama when some seagulls showed up and were apparently trying to kidnap and eat the kestrels’ young ones.

Well, he’s supposed to resemble Stalin from the original picture, to which it’s pretty close.

But if you smoke, you don’t notice other smokers smelling like shit, which is nice.

I hope the light is for oil level then, not oil pressure.

You can claim the quote is Fair Use and that your shitty business model depends on it.

- Comment on We all deserve better than this 5 months ago:
I upgraded to an open box 7900 XT from my Vega 56. I tried getting a 9070 XT and was still in my return window, but damn am I glad I got the discounted previous gen card.
I definitely could not play all the latest games on the highest setting with the card I’d been rocking since 2017.
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 6 months ago:
Well, of course. What can you expect from a Chinese PCB that costs only 2500 USD, right?
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 6 months ago:
Right.
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 6 months ago:
The problem seems to be load balancing, or lack thereof. A German guy on YouTube noticed that his cable got up to 150°C at the PSU end, due to one wire delivering 20 or 22 amps, while the others were getting a lot less pumped through them. 22 Ampere is pretty much half the power draw of the card, through one wire instead of three if the load was properly balanced between them. That’s why it ran so hot and melted to shit.

Never played the first Dune game, but Dune 2 had fantastic music. I assume at least some of it was composed by him.
- Comment on Speedometer, or Siegometer? 6 months ago:
Currently own one, but had to double check.
- Comment on Speedometer, or Siegometer? 6 months ago:
I’m not 100% sure if it’s the Mk3 or Mk4 dash. Probably Mk4, with the fantastic red on blue color scheme.
- Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery 6 months ago:
36 Watts idle sounds like a lot for a 5800X3D. I’ll see what my 5700X3D does, never checked that. Not in software and not at the wall.
- Comment on American photographer Nan Goldin condemns genocide in Gaza at Berlin exhibition opening 8 months ago:
To be fair, they’re in a bad spot and I wouldn’t wanna be a diplomat for Germany right now. That said, it’s crazy that they’re even refusing to say that they would arrest Netanyahu and his cronies if shit comes to shove.
Germany was one of the big proponents that made The Hague as an institution happen. Now they’re saying “It’s not for us to make a judgment” and they would be right. You can pledge to arrest them and the ICC will do their job.
