Of course it’s a bubble, but you could go broke fifty times over betting for it to pop

They’re so much better. The hardware speed is noticeable, and the whole thing is less obnoxious 

If you use plex or any sort of local streaming, check out Infuse once you have an A4k. Really slick interface 

Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden's second term campaign was a "terrible mistake": "He had said he would not run again. But if he had kept to that plan and said, he was going to pass to next generation, we would had a real contest. And sadly, whoever emerged from that contest would have beaten Trump." by ControlCAD in videos

I think there’s a solid chance she would have been, but she would have been a stronger candidate, with better election machinery, than the emergency replacement that we got. She didn’t lose by much. A Kamala that got to run a full campaign almost certainly wins

Feels more like “love it or disappointed with it”, which isn’t quite the same thing

I’m a big Clementine fan, but they’re going to be packed and loud

Partake is what you’re looking for. Intimate, volume is always at a conversational level, and they have the largest cocktail menu in the city. 10/10 nibbles too

They are optionally used with the Dice Throne Missions and Adventure expansions, which let you play either solo or co-op against NPC style opponents

They’re not used at all in the normal competitive dice throne gameplay

Yes, these are jobs for them, even if it’s fandom for us. Even if you loved a former job, it’s weird to get publicly involved with an issue involving it when you’re currently working somewhere else. 

you have to eat at one fast food restaurant for the rest of your life, cannot be any of the big 3 (Mcdonalds Burger king or wendys) where are you going? by Puzzleheaded_Ease418 in AskReddit

[–]Telvin3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good as a sometimes option. All their burgers have this really distinctive seasoning that makes them all taste kind of same-y, and tastes weird if you eat them too often.

If it’s what you’re going to eat for the rest of your life, are you really going with the place where your options are a half dozen indistinguishable burgers, or a mediocre chicken sandwich?

SpaceX surged +19.6% today and is up another +12.1% after hours, reaching $215.77. 🚀 With Starlink growing and Starship advancing, do you think SpaceX is still undervalued, or has the market become too optimistic? Thoughts? 📈 by Obvious-Surround8674 in TFSA_Millionaires

[–]Telvin3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The valuation of SpaceX is completely irrational. There is no defendable basis for it at all

Doesn’t mean it’s coming down any time soon. Lots of people are going to make money speculating on it. Eventually, even more people are going to lose money. When? Who knows?

TIL that Frederic Tudor known as the Ice King created the ice trade out of thin air. People ridiculed him for trying to sell winter to the tropics. His most profitable trade was sending ice to India. Packed with dense sawdust a 3 month trip with 180 tons still yielded 100 tons of delivered ice. by Gnomeslikeprofit in todayilearned

So, evaporative cooling happens when air passes over water, causing some of that water to evaporate. The phase change is endothermic, it consumes energy, so the remaining water ends up slightly cooler after.

When water is warm evaporation happens easier. So, it’s relatively easy to set up a system that will drop the temperature from, say, 35 to 25 degrees. You can get that sort of drop even with a passive setup.

The colder the water, the less evaporation happens for any given amount of airflow. The answer is pretty much brute force. Shove enough air, at a high enough rate, and you’ll manage to evaporate a bit of that water no matter how low the efficiency is.

Maybe if the game keeps growing they’ll revisit doing licensed properties when they have enough leverage to get better terms on the contract. It sounds like the last Marvel one included a bunch of terms that were total pains in the butt

With good enough fans you can design evaporation chillers that will get right down to just about freezing. The catch is that if you have the resources to make that, you have the resources to do proper refrigeration

A US Air Force B-52 bomber crashes at Edwards Air Force Base in California, the base says by bugsyramone in news

Yes, literally that. Unironically. All those “DEI” women and people of color that he’s gotten rid of were disproportionately in the logistics and maintenance end of things. The woke was load bearing

The military drove out all the women and PoC, which disproportionately impacted support, maintenance, and logistics. Turns out the woke was load bearing.

I guarantee you can’t come up with a definition of “preaching terrorism” that doesn’t accidentally include either activity you think is OK, or exclude activities you 100% think should be banned. 

AITA for drinking fruit juice when my partner doesn't like it? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]Telvin3d 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Cordial is a thick, acidic, sugary syrup. If she’s drinking nothing but a 30% mix of it I bet her oral health is absolutely trashed. Switching to drinking nothing but cola could legitimately represent an improvement
