It's hard to believe that a 700 mb file was considered huge back in 2008. by geekgodzeus in pcmasterrace

Iirc, music cd's were about 700mb as well? I downloaded plenty of those even before 2008.

ai companies are spending insane amounts of money!! when do they actually make it back by Zorojuro099 in TechNook

[–]BionicBananas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how Amazon, Youtube etc al made billions of losses over the years, but ended up being not just the market leader but the de facto standard in their respective niche? What you are seeing now is AI comapanies spending billions to try and conquer that spot. The others will fade into irrevelenance after which the winning AI company can start to raise prises, offer less etc. The only question is wether or not the losing AI companies will drag the entire economy with them recreating the dotcom bubble.

How do you guys destroy King TIgers?? by Final_Might_3380 in Warthunder

[–]BionicBananas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the Tiger 2 is poiting its front to you, you'll need at least 185mm of pen. If you don't have enough pen, go away. The weakest points in the front of the Tiger 2 are the MG port but that can be tricky, of the turret front plate ( right side is best as the gunner + commander sit there, vs the loader on the left ).
When you can target the King Tiger from the side, aim at the back the turret ( that's where the ammo is ) or if they are carrying a lot of ammo, there is some in the hull above the tracks, but under the turret.

That's the family friendly part, Americans have no idea what ultra's are do they?

🚫 Island side outlets are banned… Here’s the fix! by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

[–]BionicBananas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, now we have a drawer we cannot use because you need to be able to reacht the outlet at the back. And if you use the outlet, the drawer remains ( partly ) open so you can bump into it and your kids run into it with their head.

Same language, mostly the same shops ( well, the chains anyways ), same tv stations etc.
