The "consequences" for those involved in the Mỹ Lai Massacre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre) paints a different picture.

That said, I have some close friends in the military, including one who is a Military Defense Counsel. Enforcement, when it happens, is quite strict.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger highlighted that the market doesn't have much demand for discrete GPUs

Oh, I think the demand is sufficiently robust. The problem is cards that cost, say, $1000 for <100 FPS.

Am cis-male. And I guarantee you my genitals absolutely make me way dumber than other genital types. 😆 I could fill a novel with data points of my genitally-enabled stupidity.

That seems kind of harsh. I'd totally accept falling on his own sword, maybe seppuku.

It came from a speaker a few years ago at the Davos World Economic Forum. Davos is where the ultra rich gather each year to plot out how to be even more evil.

You have it backwards here. Apple needs to support developers. They make it expensive and inconvenient to develop on their ecosystem. But until Apple releases their stranglehold, I would be just fine if I never have to use their shitty OS, development software, and tools ever again.

my M1 Max MacBook Pro could run Baldur's Gate 3 at max graphics with no performance issues. On battery. Over extended periods

I'm a bit skeptical on this claim, or maybe we have different ideas of what "extended periods" mean. My M1 Max MBP would have just under two hours of run time with VS Code doing .NET Core dev. It was even worse when doing Ruby on Rails work. And that was when MBP was new. My whole team were issued these, and our experiences were the same. Zoom calls were even worse, with about 90 minutes of run time.

The ARM architecture has amazing battery life when idling, quite unlike x86. But when it gets spooled up, it eats angry pixies just the same as x86. All of my x86 laptops can do .NET Core work.. for two hours.

Peeked in to see if this was here. Thank you, drive through.

Anything worth doing is worth doing again.

But ...why does the boat have a sprit and no stay? 😆

But seriously, thank you for sharing. What are the dots on the paper? Is this one of the digitizing sketchbooks?

This is exactly the case. Also, I worked for a credit union at the time, and employees got a 1% discount on interest rates for loans over a 24 months.

Liquidity. Buying a car on credit is mostly stupid, but there are cases when it makes some sense. My last car loan was 3.54%. My combined accounts were earning ~8%. Paying cash in that case would be throwing away money. Well, throwing away money on top of wasting it on a car.

You raise a good point on REI. I would trust any of those to not burn down my neighbor's house. I would also trust REI to be able to work on any bike they sell, AND make sure it's actually set up correctly before it goes out the door. At the LBS where my partner works, just about every day, people bring in bikes that would put the fear in you. The "new in box" mail order ebikes can fill a novel just by themselves.

 

Given the recent front page posts about Vanessa Guillen's funeral fuckery, you should know what your rights are surrounding disposition and treatment of the recently deceased. My late mother-in-law Lisa Carlson devoted much of her life and professional career advocating for consumer rights in the death industry.

The death industry is very slimy and relies on high pressure sales tactics when people are grieving. Don't let them. KYR!
