The problem is midrange is defined on being "lower than high end", and the 5090 is insane that it drags that line up. If AMD makes an 8800 level card, it'll be a "mid range" card by the extremely wide spectrum of performance, but it's still an upper 1/3rd card.

If you think Sundar is bad, just wait to see who Wall Street picks to replace him.

There are tons of tons, believe it or not.

There's the short ton (2000lbs), long ton (2240 lbs), and tonne (1000kgs) which are all measure weight. However there's also the shipping/freight/ocean ton which is a measure of volume (which is also different in the US and UK), and the register ton.

However I did make a mistake. The wikipedia page I was reading said the weight in t and long tons. I made the mistake of assuming they meant short tons - in reality when measuring displacement for a ship, tonnes are used (which is pretty sensible, considering you're displacing water and a liter of water to a kilogram of water have a pretty easy conversion formula formula...)

You think that's crazy? The ship that blocked the Suez Canal, the Ever Given, has a ship displacement (how much water is displaced when it sits in the ocean) of 265,000 Tons.

That's 240 million kilograms.

And that shit just floats on fucking water maaaaan...
