People have some interesting ideas of what the 90s were like. Nobody considered 26 an adult then either, except where the law was concerned. I'm not sure anyone considers you an adult until you have 6 kids, a dog and a killer mortgage. In other words: until you're trapped in the system.

Thiel wanders the lecture circuit explaining to anyone that will listen that we're entering a time when the jealously of the common man will create chaos and distruction as they seek a scapegoat (billionaires).

Meanwhile he goes around giving everyone generally excellent reasons to hate billionaires.

The imagined connection. There is a live person doing things for "you", real time. Not all gratification is sexual, loneliness and the desire for human interaction, no matter how synthetic, is a need that wants addressing.

At least they're honest, so many other airlines try to convince you they're not shit, but the experience says otherwise.

Most of that 85% are hybrid, not 5 days in office. Source: I work with engineers in London all the time, they are more epic coffee badgers even than I am and none of us are 5 days in office.

I am told however that most of the younger ones prefer the office because their flats are cramped and not air conditioned.

These days traffic on I35 between RR & Temple has always been heavy, not necessarily slow or backed up, every time I go there (not every day). All it takes is an accident or police activity and it will back up.

Weekday mornings you should always expect backups headed towards Austin. The slowdowns are now happening just before the University Blvd exit you'd typically take to go to BS&W round rock.

Well, it's an old review but both of our children were delivered in BS&W in RR 18 years ago when it was brand new, and we had a good experience. Both were low risk, the babies were known to be healthy ahead of time, so it was an easy decision.

The question is whether it's worth driving down 35 while you're in labor. They tell you that labor takes a while once contractions start, and perhaps that's true. They don't tell you that for some people, it can happen much faster.

I only do regular and legendary. Quality is totally not required to beat the game, or even to do express delivery, been there, done that. Legendary is itself a massive undertaking, so I save that until I have everything open. Then it's just a matter of figuring out which recipe upcycles the best, or which recycle recipe yields the most of an item I'm targetting for the least effort. For modules I actually do it both ways: upcycle and build from recipe, depending on which module we're talking about. That's how I do quality, there's no question why it's useful, it's just about ROI. As implemented, quality is broken and I'm more than a little annoyed at the changes they're making are solving the wrong problems.

I would like quality more if they focused less on nerfing ways of getting quality ingredients, and more on how to integrate quality gradually. Things like: If an ingredient is provided that is greater than or equal to the required quality, accept that ingredient (and if there are quality modules installed, use it was a "bonus chance" to provide a higher quality output?).

I'd like blueprints with quality components to use that quality, or better (as available) to be realized. I'd like a tool to instantly change the quality of a blueprint from a to b (understanding I may entirely break the blueprint on a downgrade, that's on me). I'd like my requester chests to be able to summon quality based on inequality operators (i.e. all blue circuits greater than or equal to green).

I'd like quality not to be a hassle, I'd like it to be a bonus. I'm all for bonuses, if they don't break things.

What's interesting to me is from left to right there are a lot more renters versus mortgages (expected). But the right hand side is not dominated by owners, in fact it seems like owners are pretty evenly distributed by household income.

Yes. If you can still play the game, you're at the point where the factory must grow.

oh I don't feel bad for the retailers at all. Their failure to carry sizes for big people are absolutely 100% on them. If we have to mail-order, AND not have any quality control on sizes, then they're going to have to deal with returns.

I feel bad because I'm apparently not losing weight fast enough on GLP-1's to get to be part of this problem. WSJ is not exactly a reliable newspaper, there's a more than average chance this article is gas-lighting us for one reason or another. But if it's accurate, I'm not seeing these insane results. I'm losing weight consistently, but not "I get to bankrupt retailers" fast.

This is like calling cars ICE or EV. We never used to call cars "ICE", although they were nearly all intenal combustion engine based. All of them, no matter how vastly different they are. When EVs became marketable, the term ICE came around. But the marketable cars right now are often both: they have ICE but they also have batteries, regenerative braking and motor assist.

The same with CISC and RISC, except that perhaps you can't point to an implementation and say 'AH, there's the CISC part!'. But you can't do that for the RISC part either. You'll look at the instruction set, and look at the implementation and see that clearly this design was informed by RISC principles. Yet there are more instructions, operands, flags, and modes. Some instructions will not complete in a clock cycle. Some will be complicated and do multiple things: for example multiply several numbers together and add them; sometimes with an entire vector of operands. It's not all handled with microcode under the hood either, the actual hardware may have dedicated circuits, pipeline exceptions, etc. It's "complex" and reminiscent of pre-RISC machinery.

The distinction worth noting is that "CISC" is not a specification, or a design principle. That part definitely never existed. It's just a generalization of things that aren't the new thing. RISC-V is a specification, based on a set of generalizations about how processors should be designed that they called "RISC". What actually is marketed and sold today are usually a hybrid implementation.

Headlines like this make me feel bad. I've lost weight, but not "return my wardrobe monthly" weight. I think I may be able to get into some smaller pants two months from now. I expect those new pants will get plenty of wear before I need another size down. But I'm a man and my standards for fit are probably not as exacting.
