Best news I’ve seen in weeks

You could also like…sit down at the subway and eat your sandwich.

A sub is a pretty difficult driving meal though, if you have any care for the cleanliness of your car. Lots of ingredients threatening to spill out of the bread at any moment.

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

Don’t underestimate Colorado. Though it’s largely the recent Denver transplants keeping up that stereotype, whereas it’s the long-term Texans.

Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.

Why does a language have different words for different concepts?

It’s an abbreviation.

Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it’s not an acronym.

On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they’re spoken as the letters rather than the “word” they create.

FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.

That’s…not an acronym. That’d just be LG.

Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.

A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!

“Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

I mean yeah, that’s funny, but I just like high quality pixel art and 2000 was the last generation before they ditched that (or I guess, the pixels got too small to see)

I prefer 2000, myself

Toilets with threatening auras, you say?

(Bonus points: this bathroom was labeled “country” and the one next to it was labeled “western”)

Alas, still depressed

Fucking eggs come out of its arse!
