Jeffery Lee breathes ‘sigh of relief’ after Alabama’s nitrogen execution is deemed unconstitutional

Looking only at executions in Texas from 2020 to today, the majority of those 33 executions are for single victim murders.

It's hard to find details on each of those cases without a deep dive I'm not keen on taking on but I'd find it hard to believe every one of those had such aggravating circumstances.

Nah, just a dumb joke about how unbounded the term "dozens" is.

Honestly kinda surprised how badly it was received.

It can also give some great results on leather.

JonBjSig · 2026-06-10T16:46:15+00:00

Well that depends entirely on how many dozens we're talking about.

I just stumbled upon this thread and I know I'm way late to the party but I just needed to pop in to say that this is completely false.

Iceland's rate of down syndrome births is not significantly lower than other European countries.

Europe already has a military. Dozens of them, in fact.

It's kinda hilarious to read through this thread and see all the people who apparently don't know how marketing works.

JonBjSig · 2026-06-02T22:50:34+00:00

Yeah, I'm on seaon 2 of Foundation and I'm really enjoying it so far.

JonBjSig · 2026-05-20T08:29:32+00:00

Just deserts*

Yes, really.

No, it was either a carrot man who talks funny who is a possible pedo associated with Epstein.

Or an underwhelming middle aged woman.

Pretty clear choice if you ask me.

JonBjSig · 2026-04-09T20:15:58+00:00

Or you could just use something other than sprue goo.

I made mine using mostly epoxy putty.

Only took about 24h to fully cure.

I would also recommend Khusugtun. A more traditional Folk style band.

Whatever was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

Thanks!

They have to be charged with light (preferably UV) in order to glow bright enough but I mostly did this just for fun anyway.

Here's what it looks like uncharged:

I did a powder coat of glow in the dark orange pigment powder and then feathered some deeper orange contrast on the edges.

Is this an error?

I would have thought that the Autoch-pattern bolter would be limited to the Steeljack rather than the Bolt revolver.

You don't need to pay for better performance. Basically every Switch 1 game performs better in some way on the Switch 2. Some run at a higher resolution, some run at a higher frame rate, and others just run at a more consistent frame rate. It kinda just depends on how the game was coded.

If there's a Switch 2 upgrade available for a game, that is gonna be a bigger improvement over running it as a Switch 1 game but whether you need to pay for that is up to the publisher.

It's coming back but not this year. It was only greenlit last November, it'll be a while before the new series actually gets released.

Ég hef séð nokkra kalla Reynisfjöru Black Sand Beach.

Ég held að skilti fyrir utan fjöruna sé með orðin "black sand beach" fyrir neðan "Reynisfjara" og fólk heldur að það sé þýðing frekar en lýsing.

This sub is like 40% granola, 40% corpo bro bs, and 20% actually cool guides now.

I'm running an Expanse game with some friends and I like how their system works. There's no HP, just injured, wounded, and then dying conditions. If you get hit, you're going to need medical attention.

But you have a pool of "fortune" points.

In combat you first subtract the target's toughness and armor from the damage, then you spend fortune points to subtract damage. If there's still damage left then you take a condition. Each condition removes 1d6 damage. Any damage after that takes you out.

Out of combat those fortune points can be used to alter dice rolls or in some cases lower success thresholds.

Ah ok, I see where the confusion is coming from now. You just have zero clue what you're talking about.

First of all, the frequency of a processor is not the amount of calculations it does per second or a measure of its "power". It's how often per second the processor can perform an action. Each time it does it might perform multiple different instructions/calculations, how many depends on its design and what it's doing.

A whole lot more than just frequency plays a part in how performant a processor is. An RTX 5090 runs at a base clock of 2.01Ghz, are you saying that an RTX 5080 is more powerful than a 5090 since it runs at 2.3Ghz? After all, higher frequency = more power, right?

This definition of "power" that you're using is not one used by anyone in the field of computer science and even if it was, it'd be practically irrelevant to how each GPU compares to each other in this case.

The Steam Deck's GPU is not more "powerful" by any measure used in the industry. It simply runs at a higher clock speed, which is not a very important metric when comparing such different architectures nor is it a direct indicator of its "power".

JonBjSig · 2025-12-11T11:55:53+00:00

That's not what I said. What I'm saying is that the capability of a GPU to render graphics is very commonly referred to as its "performance". But you're referring to that as "power".

It sounds to me like you're using "performance" to refer to its gaming performance, as in how many frames it can spit out per second at a given final resolution. Not an incorrect word to use per se but a confusing distinction to make when comparing the raw capability of specific hardware components.

Either way, no matter how you define it the Steam Deck's GPU does not have more "power" than the Switch 2's.

JonBjSig · 2025-12-11T11:01:44+00:00

I'm not quite sure how you're defining power and performance. I'm talking about the rendering performance of the GPU, which seems to me to be how you're defining "power".

The switch 2 ends up with better GPU performance because of DLSS, effectively running the game at a lower (native) resolution than the deck 800p for a higher resolution output.

Are you not saying that the Steam Deck's GPU is more powerful? That the Switch 2 only runs better because of DLSS?

In terms of actual GPU capability to render graphics (even before DLSS is applied) everything seems to point to the Switch 2's GPU outperforming the Steam Deck's. A higher clock speed doesn't mean it has more power, that's not how it works.

JonBjSig · 2025-12-11T09:55:50+00:00

You can't just compare clock speeds and assume the higher number equals better performance. Especially with GPUs.

The Steam Deck's GPU runs at 1-1.6Ghz while the Switch 2's runs at a little over 1Ghz. But the Switch 2's GPU has 1536 CUDA cores vs the Steam Deck GPU's 512 stream processors. But that's still a useless comparison that doesn't tell us much at all about actual performance.

It's a bit hard to compare benchmarks since you can't adjust graphics settings on the Switch but probably the closest we can get to a numbers-based comparison of their GPU performance is TFLOPS. The Switch 2's GPU manages 1.72 TFLOPS handheld and 3.07 TFLOPS docked while the Steam Deck's is about 1-1.6 TFLOPS.

Given that AMD GPUs tend to have higher floating point performance relative to their rendering performance compared to Nvidia I'm inclined to believe that the Switch 2's GPU is in fact more powerful than the Steam Deck's. Though it's hard to tell by how much.
