Studies have shown that even small acts of violence have detrimental effect on the brain so no, it's never not the worst, it is always bad.

It sounds like they want a final solution.

You know damn well that after they go for the poor billionaires' money, they will come for ours! /rightwinger.

I'd say that regardless of the brand, X86 CPU don't need to be upgraded as often as they used to. No awesome new extension like SSE or something like that, not much more powerful, power consumption not going down significantly. If you don't care about power consumption, the server CPU will be more interesting, there's no doubt about that.

rarely have been surpassed by much for long.

I've been on team AMD for over 20 years now but that's not true. The CoreDuo and the first couple of I CPUS were better than what AMD was offering and were for a decade. The Athlon were much better than the Pentium 3 and P4, the Ryzen are better than the current I series but the Phenom weren't. Don't get me wrong, I like my Phenom II X4 but it objectively wasn't as good as Intel's offerings back in the day.

Well she was first in the polls and in the popular vote wasn't she?

Belgium is a federal country, like Germany or the US. The regions have control over some things, not everything. Plus the current federal government stays as caretaker until a new government is formed.

If I were part of CS management, I'd look into recently fired personnel.

A bigger country has more industry. Spain is bigger, has more industry and pollutes more than Portugal for example and it's "normal" (as normal as destroying the environment is). And pretending the end consumer doesn't bare any responsibility is dishonest. I'd also add that most manufacturing done in China is not for Chinese citizens but us, Europeans and Americans.

I live in a small European nation with ~11m inhabitants. We are phasing out nuclear energy and opening.... Natural gas power plants. Our emissions will go higher because of that. At the same time, China is lowering its emissions of GHG. Yes, we will still produce less pollution than a country with literally more than 100x people living in it, but individually, we will produce more than the average Chinese citizen. Should countries produce the same amount of GHG regardless of size? Do we expect Germany to be on the same level as Luxembourg? China is a semi dictatorship that's committing Genocide and produces a lot of pollution but we can't ignore that its size plays a role in that.

I disagree. Of course more people will pollute more, it's basic math so if a country with 10 millions inhabitants produces 5 times as much greenhouse gases as a country with 1 million inhabitants, the smaller country is the one which should do more. Global warming (and pollution in general) is a global issue, we can't ask people to produce less because they happen to live in a bigger country. The fact that the EU or the US produce more than half the amount of GHG than India or China with not even half their population is insane.

I am not saying China is doing enough, simply that we can't point our finger at them when we all pollute more.
