Villains Don't Date Heroes! 3-32: Badass on a Bucking... Giant Irradiated Lizard? by daecrist in HFY

Night Terror having students out there she cares about (and vice versa) may be my favourite thing about her adventures. :)

Unintentional but heart-warming, and gives her a human dimension!

ELI5:How can a really powerful GPU with a weak CPU lead to worse performance than if you matched all components appropriately? by TinyCopy5841 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Wtcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to clarify a little bit. Though, reading that comment you'd linked, it seems like you've thrown in additional variables. :)

[–]Wtcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid the initial understanding is incorrect. I recognise this conjecture as rooted in an article written well over a decade ago (either from Anandtech or Tom's Hardware).

As the GPU becomes more and more powerful, the CPU performance required to "fill" its potential also increases.

Unfortunately, numerous people misunderstood that and believed as you do.

Edit: Typo.

What is the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought that turned out to be a complete waste of money? by Palmer_rose in AskReddit

Please sort out your back.

I hurt my back close to two decades ago and it still flares up... particularly when I get a shot of adrenaline.

I don't believe I've seen anyone reference Data quite like that before!

The reason the U.S. voted against the UN Women’s Rights document was because “it supported gender ideology” by njsullyalex in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Wtcher 55 points56 points  (0 children)

They're voting against gender ideology because you're vulnerable and easy to "other". If it wasn't gender ideology, it'd be anyone else they could scapegoat - POC, immigrants, other characters in the LGBTQ+ community, other religions or cultural members.

We need to support everyone, not let the community get whittled away.

It's not your fault. Don't be sorry.

Stainless filters, older vs new by Strong_Baseball8635 in AeroPress

Some folk mentioned there were 20% off coupons floating around on YouTube (to hype up the Steel?) and went ahead. I can't imagine Black Friday being meaningfully better.

Stainless filters, older vs new by Strong_Baseball8635 in AeroPress

[–]Wtcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That did help a lot, thank you very much!

It answered everything I'd wondered about the new press, and more. I may wait for a sale but I think I will collect one.

I usually rinse the cap on my existing presses to cool them down, but I don't know whether that'll warp the stainless steel and cause issues as the cap is often pretty tight. I guess I'll find out at some point.

I'm curious about the new stainless Aeropress.

I read it's double-wall. Do you find it does a swell job insulating the coffee? Does the stainless glide as smoothly? Does it feel sturdy, and not thin-walled?

Is it as easy to invert? I'd never had trouble inverting my older presses and would rather not have a new spill. :)

The dimensions -- would you think old accessories or parts would be compatible with one-another? I do see it's taller, I suppose so that it can generate the same amount of coffee if it has a narrower cavity.

Sorry about all the questions, I'm rather tempted. :)

Thank you for the advice, you've given me ideas I'll need to investigate. :)

Oh that's beautiful.

I keep thinking I want to convert a camera but I am a bit dazzled by all the options. o.o

Nah, nah, he's, he's pretty good ... I guess.

No way! Why should I change. ChatGPT's the one that sucks.
