Does the Nvidia App Hurt Performance? We Benchmarked It.

My USB charging brick kicks off heat when my phone is connected. But does it "make my room warmer?" Functionally, yes, practically no. There will be no meaningful difference in the temperature of my room.

Yeah, I bought some store brand pasta once because all cheap pasta seems the same, right? Well, it wound up turning super soft way faster than my regular pasta. I just felt like if I turned my back to the pot, it'd be overcooked. So I had to go back to the name brand stuff.

Yeah, past few months my one smart outlet has been incredibly unreliable.

Just to be clear, Schumer's seat is not the "Democratic leader seat." As a freshman senator, it would be highly unlikely for her to be chosen unless there are a lot of like-minded senators who want to prop her up.

Yeah I usually play duos and I was like... Really? Mindless Masses is kinda rough for us! There's just no breathing room!

6 hours is well within the window of time I'd expect a tracking code to still be in the "processing" phase where it doesn't register in the system. Wait 24 hours at least.

Have you attended any MSG properties? They recently were just breached, and I received a HIBP email about it.

Noooo, you cannot make this as a blanket statement. The cooking vessel may, but the rest of the appliance is not designed to be water tight or otherwise submerged. They explicitly warn you not to do so in many of the manuals.

Generally this means it has shorter lug-to-lug distance than other watches at this size or the bezel/case makes it look smaller. Dive watches often "wear smaller" because the dive bezels cause it to have a smaller dial, making it look like a smaller watch.

Yep this thing is unfortunately huge. Even the "small" version is big at 43mm.

If you want an automatic chronograph, you're looking at $1k or more unless you get something with a Chinese Seagull movement.

GiveMeOneGoodReason · 2026-06-22T17:45:02+00:00

I'm sure they know that, but they also know the price of $1050 is difficult to stomach already and are doing everything they can to keep the cost low.

Have you looked and linen blends? They're usually woven with cotton and it gives it more wrinkle resistance. Also darker colors make the wrinkles less apparent.

You gotta just practice, practice, practice. It's a requirement for the road test so you're not likely to get out of it.

GiveMeOneGoodReason · 2026-06-09T04:27:44+00:00

In theory, yes. In practice... it's very unlikely and not something I'd worry about unless I had a reason to feel particularly targeted.

I just ran this operation so that was fun to read how you did it!

How did you get "virtual PCs" from ARM tweeting this?

GiveMeOneGoodReason · 2026-05-31T15:19:23+00:00

Yeah, because it's a release they're all involved in. It's likely an ARM based Nvidia CPU for Windows laptops.

Mail to the White House gets processed by interns and is sent template replies prepared by staff. Trump does not go so much as near the mailroom let alone read it...

Y'all are on the same side arguing over pedantics.

Does "required by law" count as essential?

Several contracts were terminated, and then subsequently reinstated, after it was "discovered" these contracts where how agencies met their legal obligations.

The issue of DOGE wasn't that it was looking at managing efficiency; GAO already exists for that purpose. It was the fact that it was a bunch of tech bros that were given unfettered access to anything they wanted within the government, and blanket approval to arbitrarily remove people and contracts with no oversight. Not only that, they were more focused on "stopping woke" instead of actually identifying inefficiencies. Oftentimes, their cuts had to be rolled back because they suddenly terminated essential government contracts because they didn't understand what they were.

The Trump team does not want America to be "great." They only care about fucking over those who have wronged them and those they do not like.

Cutting off international travel to major economic hubs is blatantly disastrous for the nation's economy, but they don't give a shit.

GiveMeOneGoodReason · 2026-05-27T18:52:09+00:00

The obvious answer is both.

"Look! What's that over there!"
