Yeah, cabin monoxide comes up now and then

Simple, people assume "student pilot" means doom without realizing how far along people fly with instructors.

I think it's much to assume the surprise is about gender instead of the word "student".

Unless those groups agree to potentially face off directly with US and Israel military, there is relatively little they can do to change current US and Israel behavior.

One would think sanctions, but Trump has effectively been doing his best to self impose sanction-like results already.

In my experience if there's one thing that executives excel at, it is not managing to hear people saying something inconvenient to their world view.

The people who have never done the work love more than anyone else to talk about how the work should be done better and cheaper.

Broadly this sentiment stands for most professions.

You expect me to believe the aliens on P7X-377 care at all about the World Cup?

A few things.

One is that steam frequently has actually cheap games more readily than the console digital stores.

Another is that if I'm buying a digital entitlement anyway, I'll go with the ecosystem with the greatest track record for long term compatibility. A game purchased 20 years ago on steam is still generally playable in brand new system. A PlayStation game purchased then is not playable on a new Sony system. It is in fact only playable on PC through emulation, so PCs have been covering for console incompatibly.

Once upon a time, consoles brought some unique values. Easy to plug into TVs, consistent gamepad experience, and just turn on and play.

Nowadays PC operating systems and console operating systems act the same, tv output is just HDMI, gaming controllers are well supported on PCs... The last reason to bother with the console gaming was the physical media. So while sure, they can go digital only, but then why bother with a console at all? They've already lost every other advantage.

Worse, they run out of ideas after two seasons but keep going.

But your username...

Worth noting that the fancy ice maker is just like a 30 dollar ice tray, with insulation and silicone mold.

It does take a long time to make a little ice compared to normal freezing.

Noe that the water can just be tap, and the equipment isn't super fancy. If the water looks clear, you can make clear ice from it.

It's called directional freezing, you stick water in freezer insulated on all sides so that it freezes from the top down instead of outside in.

If you have larger ice, you'll see the white stuff is in the middle, the last area to freeze. Directional freezing causes that to be at an end instead of in the center, and you either pull out the ice before the end freezes, ideally, or cut off the end.

I have an ice mold that doess this and it provides break off points to break the clear ice off the unclear ice.

It does take a while though and the bulky insulation takes a lot of room in the freezer.

For reference, a GB300 server is now at about 8.5kw for a single server. A fully populated NVL8 server is about 15kw. Looking online, looks like the ISS is about up to 90kw, so I guess I'm off and the actual number is something like 6 to 10 of these servers per ISS scale facility.

I would still argue this is a crazy overhead for what they would now consider meager capacity, with, luckily for nVidia, a pretty hard deadline where the very expensive equipment burns up without potential for extended lifetime use.
