What about hanging it vertically?
The study was run at a hospital, and they said that most people didn't even bother reading the training, they just opened/closed it to get it off their calendar. They didn't say how the training was implemented with regards to downtime, but considering how most hospitals are run, I expect that it's managements fault that nobody actually spent any time on the training.
My office gives everyone downtime specifically for getting training done. They also implemented a phishing test email they sent out on occasion. After the first one got me, you can damn well bet I paid more attention whenever anything else phishy showed up in my inbox.
As much as LTT deserves shit, and he really does, choosing to ignore a warning because its what the average user does, really shouldn't be one of them. Users absolutely pull stupids like that, and his job was to see what a regular user would experience.
Not OP, but I left for similar reasons. The CEO publically supported the Republican admin (mildly, but even at the time, stupidly). The statement sent out about it after the fact was also sus, but not really super bad.
I left anyway. I'd rather not pay a CEO to publically support the administration that is specifically targeting my family for political points.
I also heard a lot of fear mongering on the fediverse about how their new AI conversations can't be private because it gets to their servers directly, but I couldn't find anyone reasonable online who actually looked into it and confirmed that.
So like, they've got all the ingredients for more stupidity, and as we've seen time and again, everything pressuring them to fuck up/enshitify is also there in the background too.
Yeah, gamers nexus is usually worth the watch, for sure. My favorite part was the terrible software being a requirement to make certain hardware features work.
Good luck with your search.
It really depends on the source of the super strength. The juggernaut is a god-empowered being of strength; he looks muscley because that's what strength is supposed to look like, not because it affects his ability to do work.
Superman looks strong because that's the ideal humanoid form, apparently, and his eugenics-obsessed ancestors chose that as the look they wanted to breed for.
Mr incredible/robert parr from the incredibles had to work out, and used literal trains as his gym equipement. It's likely his super power wasn't super strength so much as fewer limits on how much improvement he could get from his workouts. He is out of shape at the start of his story, and getting rid of that, while relatively easy for him compared to others, did require actual work on his part.
If you had a superhero who had like, a psychic shield or similar that surrounded their body and gave the appearance of super strength, like Victoria Dallon from Worm, then yeah, they'd have to work a lot harder to look like the strength they use on a regular basis.
Except in rare cases, I think you've got it backwards. Heroes with super strength get their muscles from their powers, and only the rare few outliers don't get muscles from their superpowers.
For what it's worth; your Razer issues were likely not a random thing. Razer has a rough history of bad quality control and even worse customer support. The one thing they're still good at is marketing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KhfqhCxqpQ8
I've also heard good things about the frameworks laptops, but I've not personally used any of them. At least with a frameworks laptop you can do upgrades later, rather than having to buy a completely new device whenever a part breaks or you have it for longer than three years. Easily available battery replacements alone make that a good deal.
I think my favorite quote from the video is "You don't have to make a product that fits everyone for it to be a good product".
It's still victim blaming. There is no reasonable situation where shooting a kid in the back is ever a good choice. Fucking ever.
Worse, you can't expect a child to look up online how dangerous a joke is before playing it. Their brains aren't wired that way. Kids will be ringing doorbells and running away until doorbells stop existing. Shooting them for it is co.pletely and entirely on the person with the gun. Every single time.
My goal was to never need to touch the settings for any of the HVAC units all year round,
I got a lot more luckier than you. I have a single floor, three bedroom place. All I needed to get my setup to an acceptable level was a programmable thermostat.
The other snag was more fundamental - I don't think it's possible to have a perfect temperature, even for one person. If I'm sitting still for long periods, I tend to want warmer temps. If I'm cleaning the house, I want cooler temps.
I set my temps for warmer in the afternoon, cooler in the evening/night, and semi-warm again in the morning. It's not perfect, but it makes getting to sleep and waking up a lot easier.
Fun fact; unlike video games, I was never asked to aim for the head when shooting. It was always torso shots to make fewer misses.
I was also specifically asked for a "headshot", like this guy in the comic, for a passport as part of a deployment.
Blue shirt guy did nothing wrong.
Very much not at all happy with the overall state of things, especially since my family and I are still stuck in Texas. May end up fleeing the state if the bathroom ban (which was tied in with the flood recovery) ends up going through.
Same, but I did notice I get less battery / a dying phone over the last couple of weeks.
The GTX 1650 I think is limited to 2 or 4 transcodes by nvidia
Nvidia officially removed that limitation, and prior to that there was a workaround. I've been running it unlocked for a couple years now, and it handled four 4k streams just fine, but crashed at 5 or so. Plenty for who I'm sharing with, considering 4k is a only-sometimes sort of deal.
I think you're off by 8 on your PCIe bandwidth due to conversion between bytes and bits
Lmao whoops. Looks like I am. This actually adds a couple options back to the table.
The higher end Z790 chipsets have even more PCIe 4.0 lanes
Oh my god this is perfect. Like, exactly what I was looking for. And it's cheaper than an epyc motherboard. Thank you so much. Definitely putting this on the list for sure.
Thank you for the info. The Intel processors really do look like they're a better long term choice, for just about everything, including price.
My only real issue is that, at best, I've found that all the Intel motherboards support one 4.0x16 pcie slot, one 3.0x4 slot, and then a couple 3.0x1 slots. In short, one 32gbs slot, one 4gbps slot, and then three 1gbps slots. It just isn't enough for my use; bare minimum I need 10gbps for networking, and then at least a 3.0x16 slot for the video card.
Well, I say need, but really this is a pride issue, making sure that things aren't limited past their requirements.
I could maybe switch from the video card to the Intel iGPU; not sure how it handles multiple 4k streams, but even if it did work I'd still be missing out on the scratchdisk and SAS card being at full speed. I would also be severely limited on any other card upgrades I could make.
The epyc cpus have shittier power efficiency and single core speeds. But dammit, 3 pcie 3.0x16 slots with an additional three pcie 3.0x8 is just so tempting lmao.
I was hoping for a slightly smaller compromise than I'm seeing between server tier pcie lane capability and personal tier processor speeds and efficiencies. I even looked into the threadripper series and they're more expensive with less features than the epyc series. More performant, but still severly limited in expandability.
The reason I want to upgrade is that I like having nice server hardware.
Pride, mostly. Bigger numbers make me feel good, and I refuse to apologise for it. I may end up waiting another year if the requirements aren't reasonable right now. This is a hobby without any real deadline, so, 'just waiting a bit' is a decision I'm entirely willing to make to make sure I get what I'm after.
Notably, the m.2 expansion card isn't for operating system storage; it's for a scratch disk for jellyfin transcodes and in-progress torrent downloads. This is separate from my OS drive, which is also m.2, but usually plugged into the motherboard.
Also, the epyc 7371, which has 16/32, and is better in every measurable way than my current setup, without a motherboard, is about 80$ on eBay. It's what started me on this topic in the first place. An Intel processor that also does that, but with less cores, is not as impressive in comparison.
Boards will often end up costing more than CPUs as they fail more so supply for them dries up quicker.
I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I've seen this mentioned in a couple of other places too.
I use it as a main use home server. Jellyfin (with transcoding), 96tb of storage (64tb usable), the occasional game server (minecraft, valheim, both do better with better single core performance), navidrome (with conversion), and whatever other project catches my eye. Lately it's been playing with the website generator, Hugo, which takes no resources, but prior to that it was VHS to digital conversions, which took all the resources.
I've got a GTX 1650 and a SAS card (for extra hard drive plugins) right now. I'd like to add a m.2 extension card, and a 10gbps sfp card, but my current board only has two pcie slots right now.
Given what I'm after, more slots without proper bandwidth, like from a mining board, would likely result in issues that I would only notice in benchmarks, but would bug me regardless. If I'm spending half a grand on new parts, they might as well fully support the stuff I'm spending half a grand for.
If it is complete button up shirt, with buttons holding the entire shirt closed, top to bottom. If it is a polo, bottom to top. Both are for the same reason; it sucks getting them miss-aligned.

Brisket, as far as my personal experience with it has been, is a southern usa barbeque recipe. It's a way of slow cooking beef, and not necessarily a specific shape.
You take your brisket sauce of choice, you soak a cut of beef, specifically from the cow’s breast or lower chest. In southern grocery stores it's literally labeled 'brisket'. You soak the meat in a cooking pot full of the sauce, and cook it in the oven for several hours. Afterwards, you can slice it, shred it, or whatever to your hearts content.
The slow cooking means that the meat flavor is thoroughly mixed with the sauce flavor. The specific cut of meat and slow cooking also means that, so long as you got the timing and temperature right, your brisket is incredibly soft to eat. Done right, it is also incredibly moist. Badly done brisket is incredibly dry. A lot of chain resturaunts will try to hide this with ass loads of BBQ sauce, but you can always tell.
I usually see brisket served with more barbeque sauce (usually a mix of ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar) but using a gravy instead would not be out of the realm of possibility.
In this case, brisket and gravy, although not common, would be a pretty great test of your cooking skill. Getting the brisket right, and then choosing a gravy that enhances, rather than hides or overwhelms the built-in brisket flavors would actually be a pretty great challenge.
***Edit To answer your actual question, the guy missheard "brisket" when the TV host actually said "biscuit". Very easy to mess up, especially as non-native English speaker.
It's really not. At least, not yet. It's a large part of why it isn't done, but it's not the only one, and I'd argue, not even the main reason it isn't really done.
A complete crawl with meta data of the internet in 2025 is only 424TiB. For comparison, my 1000$ home setup can handle about a tenth of that(in storage at least). The hardware to maintain a single database of the internet with metadata could cost under $100,000, easily.
Dave, your comment about it costing a billion to run Bing or Google might be true, but it is completely unrelated to the realities of running a small search engine and has everything to do with the fact that they are Google and Microsoft products respectively.
The real issue isn't the physical size of the internet, it's much more likely to be the complexity of making a search algorithm that can compete with the 75 billion seo market that wxists to break search engines.
