If fusion 360, solid works, OR solid Edge ran on Linux I’d deal with the annoyances.

Don’t blame the president: WE decided to go in and kill a ton of Taliban, WE decided to spend actual trillions standing up and equipping an army that did not give enough of a fuck about anything but grifting. The ANA did not even try to slow down the Taliban when the US stopped acting as a backstop. Afghanistan never really thought of itself as a cohesive nation, we were never going to change their psyche.

I’d rather blame Bush and Obama for sinking trillions into helping their friends get rich at the cost of everyone pretending we were building a real country.

The UN is toothless, don’t expect anything from the UN. General rule is people don’t move to change their leadership (Hamas in this case) until they’re literally starving and that’s what Israel is hoping happens in Gaza so they don’t need to set up and run their own puppet government long-term.

Came here to say this…

I guess that’s one way to shorten life expectancies while maximizing worker productivity…

That’s literally what the return on all the other investment is for: the assumption of risk.

I guess it’s the same shift in mentality as the credit card processing machine asking for a tip for everything by default.

Making the cheese is easy though, and the texture and flavor are sssoooo much better. Too much whey gets squeezed out in packaged mozzarellas.

Funny thing that, European countries haven’t lasted nearly as long as the US on average: revolutions, conquest, coups. Only a couple of monarchies and even those had some big changes in the way the government is structured like with constitutional changes. The US, though, has a ton of new laws but is fundamentally unchanged.

More memory means you can do real work with it, and enterprise AI training is a money printer that they’d be scavenging the shit out of with cards that are closer substitutes.

But then you can do work with it, and that’s where the real money is at.

They should all be shipping with 32GB now… AMD is at least seeing the light by releasing some 24gb cards under $1k

Really hope Intel’s next generation of GPU silicon makes it a more realistic substitute - that would actually spice things up a lot, you basically won’t see real competition again until nVidia’s AI training dominance is in someone’s crosshairs

Fundamentally different things… Party goers were doing a thing in a place where the government expressly says it’s safe and you don’t need to go around armed. Very different from enemy combatants using hostages as shields.

Just open a few more Chrome tabs: a couple of Ali Express and Amazon pages and a few YouTube videos and couple Reddit posts, and you’ll be wondering why you only got 32.
