As someone who was forced to do this for a couple months when I was in the Army, rotating shifts destroys your ability to get good sleep, its horrendous to actually experience. It took about 2 months before people started getting so sleep deprived that people started failing PT (physical training) tests and it took the brigade commander looking at our battalion and asking "wtf is going on over there?" and hearing what our battalion had done to our shift schedule and put a stop to it. He called over every single soldier who failed their PT test to hear our excuses, and when most of us were first time failures and we all had the exact same complaint, by the time he got to me, he was like "You've been on rotating shifts, unable to sleep, and were forced to take this test after a shift when you're completely exhausted like everyone else?" "yes sir" "ok, don't expect that shift rotation to last, I'll be talking to your battalion commander after this. Send in the next person." Dude was ready to just start ripping into us but changed his tune right quick after hearing about the fucked up shift schedule and lack of any common sense in the leadership's ability to plan properly. One of the few times where shit actually rolled uphill. Suffice it to say, before I even finished the drive back to my barracks, I was being called by my platoon sergeant that we'd have to a new schedule tomorrow and to just show up for swing shift like we normally would be on.

In the prison I worked at we would usually rotate shifts every 6 months, but our commander heard complaints about people being on day shift for so long at one time that they were getting burnt out dealing with 90% of the problem times with inmates, and instead of changing it to every 3 months, changed the rotation to every 2 days. Literally, 2 days on Day shift, 2 days on Swing shift, 2 days on Night shift, 1 day off, then back to days. And that last day was getting off shift at 6AM, doing PT until 8AM, Barracks Maintenance until 10 AM, then because of the rotation, we'd have to be back in at work at 5:30 AM the next day, so our 1 day off a week was only 19.5 hours, and you're exhausted but you can't sleep yet, otherwise you'll be up all night before work the next day, so you force yourself to run on fumes, getting a haircut, getting food and supplies for the next week, etc. Then sleeping, so there was literally never any time to relax. It fucking sucked.

It looks like the generation digit corresponds to year for Desktop CPUs too. I think the only major difference from the image I showed prior is the last digit, the desktop CPUs have different letter(s) but the other 4 digits correspond the same. For example, the 7950X is 2023, Ryzen 9, Zen 5, Lower model, and X is high power draw and clock speeds, then there is the 7955WX which is 2023, Ryzen 9, Zen 5, Upper Model (Threadripper), Workstation. The 8950X upcomming cpu is 2024, Ryzen 9, Zen5, Lower Model, High Power and clock speeds, etc. So the 8 series is still Zen 5, so its still a refresh of other zen5 chips, however it also apparently has about a 20% uplift compared to the 7 series, but its still a refresh. So the 9000 series we won't know if its a refresh or not until we have the skus with the 3rd digit, if its a 6, then its a not a zen5 refresh, if its a 5, it is a zen5 refresh.

That's because, according to the super secret AMD Decoder Wheel, the 7 series just means it came out in 2023, while the 8 series means it comes out in 2024, and the 9 series is any model released first released in 2025. Which means you can't use the first digit to tell what architecture the CPU is at all, you need the 2nd digit and 3rd digit. Which means this "leak" about 9000 series is not a leak because AMD has already stated, for over a year now, that the 9 series would be CPUs released in 2025.

Because he wants to come off as a martyr to his base, and putting him in jail is exactly what he's aiming for to do that.

I have T-Mobile and when I've traveled internationally or into roaming only areas, it always warns me via SMS and gives me an option to turn data roaming off... So I can only imagine this guy got that warning and ignored it...

Still 143k is a bit excessive, and it looks like after reviewing it, and also at some point after it started making news headlines, T-Mobile agreed and credited his account to make it even. Doesn't look like the article knows if that was just a result of just how much time it takes to go through the review process at T-Mobile, or if it took the news agencies inquiry to get the attention of someone high up enough at T-Mobile to make the decision.

I'm willing to bet there are ultra wealthy people who do the same kind of thing and just don't question the bills and pay them, so phone companies are incentivized to not cap the monthly bill to some percentage of what the highest plan that could have covered it would have been... Maybe T-Mobile would be better served by having a system in place where a low tier operator can reduce the bill to something like 50% over whatever they would charge someone for a global international everything unlimited type plan. So something like "ok, we see you racked up $143,000 in fees from international data roaming, if you had been on X plan, it would have only cost you $250, so I can lower your bill from $143,000 to $325." That way they can still get the money from the ultra rich who don't care while also having something in place to allow the average customer to also deal with these kinds of mistakes without bankrupting them.

So, the school board is bullying him into not doing an anti-bully talk. I think maybe the school board should have been the one getting the speech and not the kids at the school...

I watched Karl Jobst's video about this yesterday, fucking GOAT of a run.

He looks pretty old in that picture for someone who, according to the picture, died at the age of 8.

spoilerI know the date range is when he was president

Yeah, the guy was a piece of shit. The first time he started being a piece of shit to me I was walking past him and he started throwing insults about my girlfriend that he had never met, saying I'm pathetic because I "have to date a retarded girl" (which she wasn't, she was mildly autistic, diagnosed aspergers. Like completely 100% functional, but with some social anxiety around people she didn't know, but even if she was, his comments would still be fucking bullshit). Out of fucking nowhere, right in front of my team leader too, and at the time they were both E5's. My team leader pulled him aside and told him if he ever heard him saying that uncalled for shit again, he would kick the shit out of the other guy. He left me alone after that until he was promoted to SSG and transferred to a different section which resulted in him being outside my chain of command but still having to interact with me on a semi-regular basis, and every single time he was just a dick of colossal proportion. To this day, no one I know that also worked with him had any clue why he suddenly cranked the "Be a dick to this 1 E4" dial to 11. He didn't do it to anyone else in the company as far as anyone was aware and the people who were in his platoon that I was friends with had no clue why he was being such a dick to me. He wouldn't answer them when they asked what his problem with me was either.

About another 1.6 million people can also claim to live in the same town as the Q-Anon Shaman since he's from Phoenix and you'd see him fairly frequently if you drive by the government buildings downtown before he was thrown in jail for his participation in Jan 6.

Sorry bout that, there is so much more about the situation that I didn't post, but it was already getting kind of long-winded, so I tried to reduce it as much as possible, but I guess I left too much context out ><
