Sweet. They’re laptop CPUs, right? Last year, after more than a decade of owning only laptops, I bought two of those micro-PC boxes - mine were Trigkey, but I saw nearly identical ones under other brand names. 16 cores, expandable RAM and NVME… utterly blew my latest 2y/o laptop out of the water, especially after I put 64GB of RAM in one in an orgy of entering a new market of cheap components.

And now this. I’m loving it.

2A defense organizations like the NRA exist to protect firearm maker profits, not gun rights. If people can make guns at home, there’s no profit for the arms industry; that’s what has them buzzing.

The GOP is being told to legislate against anything that threatens gun maker profits. That’s all.

One of my favorite aspects of human nature: the bell curve of self-awareness about how much you think you know about a subject, plotted against how much you actually know. It’s a fascinating metaphysical concept, the idea of having a generally accurate idea of the magnitude of what you don’t know about a subject.

Base 12 is the GOAT base. Of course kittens would use that.

Does she likes tartar?

You give RMS too much credit when you paraphrase Sagan and attribute it to RMS. They’re not nearly on the same level.

And not prepared plant products, but raw, with dirt and bugs on it.

Vegetables. It’s vegetables from someone’s garden.

Poland goes around slapping any country that gets out of line.

The plot of The Slap III

What am I looking at? Is the shell falling? Levitating in mid-air?

This was nauseating. Who TF came up with the bouncing camera idea?

Prador second children!

I can’t keep up with the architecture family lines; is the Ryzen 7 5800 series on the Zen 3 line?

Handsome dog! Whippet?

I’m thinking I could fight one robot vacuum cleaner, but our boi here just keeps adding more, and I’m already skeptical about taking on three. And this will probably happen after GAI, so they’ll be hyper-intelligent.

OP may one day find themselves scootching around the house on their limb stubs, licking the floors clean all day, and being called some demeaning name like “Meat Maid.”

Gotcha.

Yeah, Fuji’s really spoiled me. The built in processing is so good, unless I want a specific look (usually BW) I can only make it look worse.

Lucky! I need to check if there are any kept in The Cities

That’s a good point. I stopped using RAW shortly after switching to Fujifilm cameras, and realized the jpgs coming out of the camera were categorically better than anything my tweaking could produce. I do mess with color temperature and light adjustments, and a lot of conversion to B/W. Shadows and highlights adjustments occasionally. But while jpgs from my Canon were not acceptable and I ended up mass processing ever RAW I imported, with the Fujis it’s the rare photo I have to tweak for an effect.

However, the light and color adjustments are pretty straightforward?

You are so screwed when the Robot uprising comes

Look at those eyebrows! It’s the whole package - truly the goat of owls.

How is this different from what’s already going to happen under POTUS Musk & VP Trump?
