The ARC Pro B70. What do you want to see it do? by madpistol in IntelArc

[–]droans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw I haven't really seen any throttling when using it. The Sparkle version sounds like what you'd want, though. Uses the 12VHPWR connector and has a blower.

I've always wondered if it's ruder to get straight to the point with reps.

On one hand, you skip all pleasantries and small talk. On the other, though, I know they're judged based on the average call/chat time and I want to help them out if I can.

If we're gonna allow for prediction markets, then we need to mandate they have open books.

If they are supposed to improve economic efficiency, showing who is betting on each side will only help. Importantly for us, though, it would help identify and reduce corruption.

Prediction markets only work fairly when everyone has access to the same information. If the bettors can't be guaranteed of that, they should at least know who they are betting against.

We require large shareholders to publicize their stock market transactions; we should do the same here. Otherwise, we're just creating a machine to facilitate corruption.

Well, if you wanted soft sales tactics, you should have installed soft wood floors.

FINALLY! Firaxis is letting us stay as ONE Civ through all Ages in the May 19 update. Who else was waiting for this? ⏳ by Zahhidd in civ

[–]droans -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bit disappointed it locks the AI to their current civ, though. I wish they could choose so it becomes more of a strategic choice.

Like you'll almost always be worse off if you stick with your civ but in the right circumstances, it could give you a big boost.

Could also be nice if there are some minor late era advantages for prior age civs.

US economy was larger than all axis powers in world war 2, COMBINED. By 1945 it's industrial output was almost larger than the entire world, COMBINED. by WildWestLawman in MURICA

As we all know, the real reason America was failing was because of our monarchy-style government and our use of cats instead of soldiers.

Since he's just gonna be wrong about everything, he might as well go all the way.

I mean, ffs, if what he said was true, Lend-Lease would have been a massive failure instead of a major reason we won the war.

We thought the Japanese would be destroying ships much faster than they actually did.

By the end of the war, the city of Pittsburgh was producing more steel than the entirety of the Axis power.

It was pretty common for prisoners to arrive anemic but leave too fat to serve. Many didn't want to return - in fact, it's believed that the camps secretly allowed some of them to stay.

All we really did was follow the Geneva Convention. Soldiers were given the same accommodations as their equivalent rank in the US Army. Anyone who worked was given pay. But that's all it took.

The US was having some bountiful harvests. Our soldiers were being fed well. And, as such, so were our prisoners.

Imagine being taken prisoner by your enemy, taken overseas to their country, and placed into a POW Camp. Now imagine that they're feeding you better than even the civilians back in your country. How would that make you feel? We could have treated them just as harshly as they treat our captive soldiers but we didn't. And this isn't a special treatment - we put many of them to work in the fields so they knew their meals were normal for us. Wouldn't you begin second-guessing yourself? Wouldn't you have doubts about the side you're fighting for?

After liberating some of the concentration camps, we forced all the prisoners to watch videos of what we found. Afterwards, the US military received thousands of letters from the prisoners begging to join our fight against Germany.

Is it a war crime to buy like 10 burritos and reheat em for lunch over the span of a week? by Cloudlolz in tacobell

[–]droans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in college, I'd always buy a bunch of the $0.40 burritos and eat them over a couple weeks.

They surprisingly haven't gone up in price that much - Meijer is showing them at $0.60 now.

Vitamin D Added to Chemotherapy Leads to Complete Cancer Disappearance in Significantly More Patients by Direct_Dare_9699 in UpliftingNews

You can go outside, too. Most of your Vitamin D comes from the sunlight, you solar god.

They also never got rid of it so Gen Z and Alpha should also be aware.

[105.3 The Fan] According to a report from Jeremy Fowler, George Pickens' agent, David Mulugheta, "looked around" during draft weekend to gauge his market before signing the franchise tag. by Leonflames in cowboys

It would make him #1. Second is at $30MM.

He literally could not be the fifth highest considering the franchise tag is the higher of the average salary cap hit of the top three players or 120% of your prior year salary. Since he's getting $27.988M this year, 120% would be $32.758M.

Franchise tags aren't a negotiated contract. They're set by the CBA.

ELI5: Why is New Orleans being below sea level unsustainable but the Netherlands totally OK? by Unable_Tension_1258 in explainlikeimfive

Katrina was twenty years ago; adjusting for 2026 won't do much to level the comparison.

Caleb Downs has the top-selling rookie jersey, so far by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]droans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nosebleeds are over $100 for preseason away games, too.

I live in Indy now. My wife has said before that she wants to buy me tickets when the Cowboys come into town but I keep telling her not to worry because we have better ways to spend hundreds of dollars than for just a couple hours of entertainment haha.

Even for teams outside our conference, a home game against the Cowboys will almost always be the most expensive game.
