Have we considered nuking it to save the penguins? ^/s^

Or they pass a law mandating withholding.

OP is quoting from this government expert’s analysis of such maritime disasters.

Tl;dr: You lose about 1% of performance going from PCIE 5.0 x16 to 4.0 x16.

x16 4.0
Remember what we said about PCI-Express 5.0 x16 availability being spotty on mid-range platforms? This makes it crucial for us to see how the RTX 5090 performs on PCI-Express 4.0 x16. Since LGA1700 processors don't put out a dedicated Gen 5 NVMe connection, Intel's motherboard partners resorted to wiring out M.2 Gen 5 NVMe slots by subtracting lanes from the Gen 5 x16 PEG interface, reducing it to PCI-Express 5.0 x8, which is exactly the same bandwidth as PCI-Express 4.0 x16—an invaluable data-point for the RTX 5090. We are happy to report that performance loss in this mode is well contained, and you lose about 1% performance, across all three resolutions. There are barely any outliers to report about from our set of game tests.

They really mean it.

The numbers will be much smaller this time. An important lesson conservatives learned from the pandemic was that if the government doesn’t monitor and report numbers then you can claim it’s not a problem.

Here’s an example.

If another pandemic were to strike, they will be much more brazen in their “don’t give a fuck” approach.

Looking at the title, it’s weird how the bulldozer did the killing. Maybe we should put a person in charge of running them so this doesn’t happen?

Radiologist here. Yes the techs are supposed to have the patients remove all metal items (or any clothing likely to cause issues in the image quality) but in practice this is highly variable between locations/technologists. Sometimes the tech is never made to redo the image and so gets sloppy over time. Sometimes things are rushed and a mistake happens. For all we know this image was acquired, tech realized the problem and asked for belt to be removed then redid the image.

One of my favorites was a gal who had panties on that had rhinestones spelling out “SEXY.” They were tiny and so it was kind of just a little subtle in the image but hilarious once you spotted it.

It is a good point but I have a family member who will begrudgingly not push back too much about whether climate change is happening (though you can tell he wants to) but will argue that you can’t prove it’s man made.

You’re fighting decades of propaganda and it’s hard.

Ha you’re right thanks, I just missed it. I saw Oklahoma and didn’t look carefully to the west of it - I think I have been conditioned by the clearly inferior maps we’ve been using.

Arkansas straight up deleted from existence.

Edit: it’s west of Oklahoma!

Imagine putting an item worth $713 million in a trash bag while cleaning. Like what on earth would possess you to be so careless? That item would be specially marked and in a secure location at all times.
