  I’mma try that if I ever try for a 3rd time. Though second time around I had zero problems understanding any of the material since I’d been working in the field for 4 years, my ex just had a problem with me spending every other weekend in university instead of catering to her every need. First time I was just a moron who didn’t study at all and I had a pretty tough calculus course first semester and I failed it two semesters in a row lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah true, I forgot that AMD needs to compete with other companies wanting TSMC capacity.

  I’m on an AM4 platform so if I’m upgrading, it’ll be to a newer and higher core count AM4 CPU, kinda stuck there. I have no appetite for upgrading to a DDR5 based platform, otherwise I’d be sorta considering Intel right now as AMD’s starting to turn on consumers even more than Intel, as was to be expected once they got big enough.

  AMD for sure is trying to manufacture mostly server GPUd for AI, but does Intel even have anything competitive in that space?

  To be fair if I’m coming over then it’d be for one of two things. Either one of my freelance customers has a big project they want me to work on full time and in-person, in which case they’d likely want me in a pretty damn hot and red part of the country, for which they’d have to pay me at least double my already decently high hourly rate (I’d be ok with this if I got triple digits hourly) - and I don’t think they have any such projects coming up… Or more likely, one day I want to visit the country with my kid, go on a roadtrip, see some of the national parks, etc. They’re currently way too young to appreciate that so I think it’d make more sense in like 7 or 8 years. By then I’m hoping the fascism has died down.

  There would otherwise be more reason for me to visit - I have experience with some niche software built purely for the US market and do think I could architect a competitor in a market that only has choices ranking from bad to worse… But at this rate, I don’t trust the US to be a stable enough business environment for me as a foreigner in particular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it really do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much. Not that I think I’d get in trouble, I just think it’d be distasteful to wear it as a normie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart Is Putting Digital Labels That Change Prices Instantly on Every Store Shelf in America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only ever been in one state (NY), luckily the rate wasn’t too high (something under 10% combined state + local depending on county/city I believe? Compared to 24% VAT here). Kinda tripped me up, BUT I made it make more sense by looking at the price in dollars as if it was in euros as I was mostly paying by card whenever possible anyway, so the amount that went off my bank account was fairly close to what was on the price tags.

  If I were to ever visit again, it’d be even better since the USD is now weaker, but tbf with this admin and the social media history requirement, I don’t think I’d even get into the country anyway so even being white enough to hopefully not be harassed by ICE isn’t enough nowadays lmao.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart Is Putting Digital Labels That Change Prices Instantly on Every Store Shelf in America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  … Yeah, you’re probably right.

  I’m just used to living in a country where VAT is included in prices in stores anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart Is Putting Digital Labels That Change Prices Instantly on Every Store Shelf in America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, these “digital labels”, although problematic in their own right, could help with that.

  1. Currently if the store employees have missed a price change on a product, it might actually cost more than the sign says

  2. It would be pretty to easy to make those include tax IF these digital labels know which store they’re in.

  I’m not a mafia boss, I wear shorts all summer (March/April through October or so) Office, doctor’s appointment, whatever. It’s shorts for me.

  I used to joke that one day I’m going to walk into the Mercedes dealership wearing shorts and ask them to test drive a brand new S-Class, but my priorities have changed somewhat in the meantime so I don’t think I’ll be doing that. Not such a huge fan of their newest interiors anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it really do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would like one, but unfortunately I am not diagnosed with autism. I do think it would be hilarious to wear it otherwise.

  So has the egg cracked already or is it still an ongoing process?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it really do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I pretty much have those arms, but my jaw is closer to the lady on the left lmao

  But most of all, I do NOT have his waistline. Look at that v-taper. Thin in the middle, wide lats. I’d have to lose a good 40 KG to achieve that and the average man probably could not achieve that at all without years of working out because it’s pretty hard to get lats that wide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's how the world works.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m Estonian, we only get generic grocery stores, or expensive “asian flavours” stores that sell mostly stuff you can’t find elsewhere and high quality but expensive ingredients as they seem to have mostly pretty low sales volume. There’s one that sells a 25 kilo bag of rice, but it’s not cheaper power kg than a small pack of rice from a regular store.

  I think that person was making more of a forever alone type joke. As in he’s waiting involuntarily.

  And the Bosch in this instance is not Robert Bosch, founder of the company Bosch, but his nephew Carl Bosch, founder of IG Farben. Famous for, among other things, zyklon b.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's how the world works.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah unfortunately I can buy rice in either 4x125g individual bags in one package, or just a 500g package.

  Somehow we just don’t get bulk packages of most goods. At least not in consumer facing stores.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's how the world works.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also potatoes. You get results the same year. And though potatoes cost nearly nothing in stores, fresh ones taste better.

  Summer sunshine is ridiculous though. More so in Norway of course.

  Would possibly take care of my country’s little problem of having 30 minutes of sunlight a day in the winter.

  We don’t have nuclear either so you can imagine how nasty our energy mix gets in the winter.
