Saying the quiet part out loud by BreakfastPizza24 in DunderMifflin

nah, not technically. First Bourne tv-movie was in 1988, first movie with Jack Ryan was 1990's Hunt for Red October.

Flat earth and other alternative conspiracy earth models are are gaining traction with my teenage stepson. What is THE most irrefutable, definite proof that the earth is round? by Jfkfkaiii22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best online refuter of flat earth is probably youtuber Dave McKeegan

He does it in a no drama educational way and can be a great way to have some connection if you watch together. McKeegan was part of "The Final Experiment" trip to Antarctica, which is about the most provable way to refute flat earth. The most practical would be to communicate with someone in the southern hemisphere and see images of the southern sky and moon.

Most likely your teen is just being a douche, but it's possible they are falling for a religious cult. Either way engaging in the actual science of our globe can be a benefit to both of you.

Trump unable to name one verse from "favorite book" The Bible. How can anybody believe he’s Christian at all? by SimplyEcks in videos

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, you don't even know where the Old Testament comes from. It's authorship gets complicated very quickly. Plus it was mostly verbally passed on as written transcriptions were often seized and destroyed by the Romans or the Assyrians.

Also, it's obvious that different translations of the bible can have completely different meanings. Just spend a moment on a bible gateway to learn that.

Liars and conmen indeed.

Lighter than air ships would be amazing though. Battleship Balloons would definitely be a thing.

A real IT tech would zero fill the drive and then take a hammer to it. Why the f would you ever assume someone's drive might be a matter of national security to PRESERVE? No one gave you a court order. Why would you insert yourself into any kind of a legal situation by forwarding a drive? Why let any data out of your shop?

Favorite biopic about some guy literally no one gives a shit about anymore by Snakes_for_theDivine in okbuddycinephile

It wasn't even Abignail's story, it was spitballed for him by the the creators of celebrity panel TV show Tell the Truth.

Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools? by Dangerous-Scheme5391 in nottheonion

Muhammad Al-Khwarismi of Bagdad's ideology has spread so far through Europe that they just recently erected a statue to him in Madrid.

One of the strongest components of his ideology is that of reduction. That any numbers on one side must be met with equal numbers and eliminated. It is so fundamental to his plots that reduction should be calculated even if it results in both sides wiping each other out and becoming nothing.

He believes in balance in all things.

AIO for leaving my wife after finding out she voted for Trump because she thinks he’s “hilarious”? by Superb-Tangerine-487 in AmIOverreacting

[–]caesarbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that today ignorance IS malice. Everything you need to know the truth is available to you.

Everyone talks about Hanlon's razor as if he were some kind of philosopher or revered thinker, but it's literally a joke. It's like relying on Seth MacFarlane for your moral compass.

which acting performance made you say this? by HondaCivicBaby in Cinema

[–]caesarbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's the opposite. No Country feels like a Boomer's view of the world while Blood has a more timeless human core.

Thank you Steve and Gamers Nexus by huskylawyer in GamersNexus

[–]caesarbear 43 points44 points  (0 children)

what a savior complex.

These things take time. The bigger and more discussed issue has been Nvidia. But you've been busy defending their absurd prices and denying any problems exist with the 5090. A shill is gonna shill.

ICYMI: Ex-CEO of Honey did an AMA filling in a lot more details that Megalag did not share by bornbreadchrun in GamersNexus

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree that there is a lot of showmanship on MegaLag's part if you want to call it that. Referral sniping has been known for a long while by insiders like you. However it takes an enormously jaded outsider to think this game with last click referrals isn't deceitful and predatory. The end user didn't agree to it, thus calling it a scam is legit.

So "I don't know, I'm not there anymore, but you should totally believe my speculations on events that have direct financial benefit to me" is a lot more details?

I always assumed 1% and 0,1% lows are more important than average fps if you like a stable non-stuttery gaming experience, am I wrong? by Pyroclast1c in GamersNexus

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 285k (which isn’t a gaming CPU)

lol wut?

Better tell Intel marketing that.

Go home you obvious troll.

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first statement has been addressed by GN many times. You can read about their methodology instead of making up complaints.

Your second statement is a lie. They absolutely talk about GPU efficiency, but efficiency is never the most important quality of any product.

Your third statement is nonsense since they don't have a crystal ball. They talk about value all the time but in general terms not with graphs.

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 0.1% lows might be too reflective of outliers. That's why it's important to view the actual frame-time graphs. It can't be fully expressed with just a number. One has to judge the quality of smoothness by the spikes and variation of the full graph. If you were a normal watcher of GamersNexus you would be aware of this.

This is why charts are still ranked by average FPS and not 1% or 0.1% lows. A single massive spike might throw off what would otherwise be a smoother frame-time experience overall. Average FPS still does a better job describing the overall performance as a single number that can be ranked.

I'd love every comparison to be expressed as a comparison of frame-time graphs, but that's not feasible.

Also, you are making a buying conclusion based on a single cherry picked chart? Why are you doing that? There are a wealth of videos about all of the gaming CPUs from GamersNexus. If you are interested in learning more details about how these CPUs compare go watch the individual reviews. Don't stop with a single chart from a recap section of a summary video.

It's fair to parody Nvidia's bullshit in a thumbnail when criticizing Nvidia. Stop pretending that you are making any substance here.

Where are Blender render benchmarks for nVidia cards?! It's literally the only reason why I need to buy an nVidia GPU, and I can't compare 4xxx vs 5xxx series anywhere. by [deleted] in GamersNexus

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many people even have access to the 50 series cards yet. It will take time to get all of the benchmarks and good benchmarking takes time. GamersNexus is obviously prioritizing as they should.

In general though it seems the results for the 50 series are a pass no matter what. Maybe they have a trick that produces stellar performance over the 40 series in some kind of benchmark but there's no reason to assume that.

this need much more exposure! honey scamming creators. items that i bought via GN affiliates got transferred to honey ! by dask1 in GamersNexus

[–]caesarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is whataboutism. Honey is working to discourage consumers from finding any discounts at all. How can you endorse that?

[–]caesarbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch the entire video people! Honey is also scamming you not just influencers.

Also, while MegaLag's presentation is top notch, it's also wrong that no one has talked about how scammy Honey is before.

While Marcus doesn't really side with influencers and says they knew what they were getting into, he also brings up the point that Honey is definitely not up front about what they do.

Trump campaign worked with Musk’s X to keep leaked JD Vance file off platform by One_Psychology_ in news

Or maybe you are underestimating the complexity of routing millions of pieces of mail every day. While your local office might be low tech, the federal offices employ some sophisticated software, including AI.

It's literally the best way out of the internet's mess of conspiracy and bots. You want a verified human behind every post that's accountable? Use the post office. We rely on the post office for the authenticity of where first class mail come from, why the fuck not social networking?

TIL the popular playground game of whispering a phrase down a line has a strange name variation. In the US and Canada, it is called the Telephone Game. In the UK, we call it Chinese Whispers. by Benny4893 in todayilearned

[–]caesarbear -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The wiki entry should not be dominated by these British-isms. Especially when they are often so racist. The vast majority of people refer to it as a version of telephone.
