I'm fairly tall, 6'2" I quite often meet people much taller than me, that I don't realise are really that tall, because they are more in proportion. So maybe it's a perception problem, that you only notice tall skinny folks and overlook the tall average proportion folk.
Ask an Australian, they'll take a bet on anything.
If you're slowing it down beyond ddr4 or ddr3 Levels, you're better buying an older system that's not as inflated. Though related to that, the price of ddr4 motherboards has shot up as there's a shortage due to people pairing it with affordable ram
Merry Christmas, i hope you all survived #whamageddon
Cloud compute was attractive to 3d rendering for a while, as you could put your non urgent renders on the cloud at the lowest priority and take advantage of off peak pricing. Now model training demand has wiped out off peak pricing and forced the cloud rendering cost way higher than rendering locally.
When the cost to generate new code has become so cheap,and the cost of devs maintaining code they didn't write gets higher. There's a huge shift happening to just throw out the code and regenerate it instead. Next year will be the find out phase, where the massive decline in code quality catches up with big projects.
I asked it for some OfficeScript to copy the current tab in excel rename it with this week's date and set a few cells to the current date too. It gave me a 3 page script for the TV show The Office.
The cost will come down further with scale. The great thing about that is that dead lithium batteries will have value, so people will be much less inclined to throw them in the trash or dump them elsewhere
May the bridges you burn light your way through the world.
Why are they so light? Do they way less than high rated 18650 cells would be for the rated capacity? If so they are probably inflating the rating. As is shockingly common for no name powerbanks. There are very minimal usb boards you can load 18650s into, or attach quad copter cells to, 3d print your own minimal case that suits your needs with the highest capacity and quality cells you can afford.
I prefer the time weed made it into them https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/29/haribo-recalls-sweets-in-the-netherlands-after-traces-of-cannabis-found
Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.
We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.
Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.
