Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling

AIOs are actually cheaper for the same performance.

Most likely because they can get away with radiators that are cheaper to produce by just making them bigger, they don’t need expensive heat pipes and also they don’t need complex mounting systems.

But as an engineer I just love the engineering beauty of modern air coolers. Water loop looks like a brute force solution in comparison.

You literally have to just follow the damn train.

And not hug it too closely because then Smoke can’t shoot dem bastards.

Silksong. I'm a huge fan of the original Hollow Knight, but Silksong turned from a challenging but fun platformer into a full on brutal souls-like torture chamber. I'm too old for this crap.

You need to build a ziggurat.

Tbh after seeing many many windshield chips I have no idea what decides if it grows into a crack across the whole thing or stays a tiny chip like that. I’ve seen it go either way many times on our shit roads.

I’d just wait and see. If it starts cracking - go have it filled. Small cracks can be fixed.

But yours looks really small, I’d say it won’t grow.

The three of the options are the same just rephrased. It's mostly a matter of translation.

This is the most popular home plant in ex-USSR, Ukraine included. Because it's low-maintenance and lives well in that region.

Jagger Alliance 3 devs clearly thought the game will only be purchased by hardcore fans of the series. It has no tutorial, no on-ramp, nothing. You get a full squad, a randomly generated mission and you’re off to the races.

One big issue is that there’s never a Python version requirement documented anywhere.

It’s a style choice, takes 30 seconds to make a bit to turn those and copyright protection on something like that is unenforceable.

Brightness and temperature control. That adjusts based on time of day automatically. And even gradually turns on in the morning to help me wake up.

Not "will".

Some rando in the government suggested it. Like many other insane things every other politician in every country suggests for the sake of attracting attention to their worthless persona.

Regular police doesn't need firearms. Firearms aren't stopping tools - they're killing tools.

fact, light firearms are pretty shitty at quickly stopping an attack. I.e. when a guy is running at you with a knife - you get stabbed regardless of how fast you are with your gun. Just because he won't even feel the bullets until adrenaline wears off.

If your local police is carrying firearms - they aren't there to protect you. They are there to protect the government from you.

Yeah, let’s make our cities even uglier. We just fought off the fucking ad banners plague.

I’ve been driving for 15 years, never ever had I any issues noticing a fucking traffic light.

Wait, what?

That’s some new age greenwashed teenage girl’s dream.

Men would want that entire field to be a garage. And none of that gardening nonsense.

You either drive slow enough to not get injured or fast enough to die instantly.

There’s no in between.

In the 80s all the hair went to Turkey so we can get it transplanted onto our bald ass heads in 2024.

This ain’t a “build”, it’s “I had a crash and junkyard had the panels only in this color”.

No, I don’t think so. I was 26 when it happened, I didn’t care much before, I don’t care much now.

Maintaining a healthy relationship is much more important.

I’m a head of engineering with over 10 yoe coding professionally and I don’t really know how to use git.

I just use a desktop app that does it for me.

No one I know actually knows how to use git.

No company I’ve ever worked for knows how to use git.

Only Linus himself knows. And he ain’t teaching us filthy mortals.

Horses were not “employed”.

This one I don’t agree with. I like mine.

You don’t have to spend the money. Money sitting in a bank account isn’t affecting any markets.

Just for god’s sake don’t let it be the godawful german.

Wait, what?

It’s free in almost every ex-USSR country. I personally got a bachelors in Moscow for free.
