You think rain is your ally?

You merely adopted the damp. We Brits were born in it, molded by it. I didn't see dry sand until I was already a man...

I found it too crumbly when slicing so now buy Pilgrim's Choice instead.

The thing is Twitter costs, even at its height, under a billion a year to run.

He could pull all advertising and run it to the end of his life as a hobby.

But he can't have that, because the line must go up and the workers must cower in fear whenever their boss stalks the building.

I guess if your whole life is an act, people forget.

But then the list misses people like Boris Johnson, who was on telly a bit and became mayor of London and eventually PM of the UK mostly because of that.

He was awful at both roles, but people voted for him anyway because they'd heard of him.

I think people in general are politically unaware. It's stuffy and boring, but affects everything. They should care, but it's very hard to make them.

Because it's no longer about benefits or interests.

It's about the "my side won, your side lost, get over it" mentality. It's about the tribalism and making sure you keep your ire focused on your fellow man rather than looking up and seeing the source of your problems

And it's not just the US. It's fucking everywhere.

60th election in a row. What a shocker. Well done to them.

It may well be the case that they're similar or even swapped now. I can see that the N100 is pretty low power compared to the newest low end AMD chips, but then the AMD chips are better in terms of what they can do.

This one reckons they're pretty similar.

This one reckons Intel are better.

I doubt there's much in it either way. Even if AMD are ahead now, laptops don't get replaced right away, normies replace shit when it fails or is too slow to run whatever shit Google shoehorned into Chrome this year, and the most popular laptops are probably the ones with the lowest sticker price.

That's under load. At Idle (which is where your average home PC will spend most of it's time) I think Intel has the edge still.

It's certainly a consideration for a battery device. Watching a video reading emails or staring at a spreadsheet will likely have better battery life than a similar spec AMD device.

We've reached a point where most everyday computing tasks can be handled by a cheapo N100 mini PC.

Phew, I'm glad that's settled then.
