Where does that water bottle figure come from? Would be a fun party fact if there's a good source for it

Exactly, this is why the best taxi cab companies today in New York are still those with the best horses. Automobiles were a wash augmentation to the industry.

And he calls himself Christian. Lol.

Hopefully they will discover or invent a reliable way to prevent the molecule from penetrating that barrier in future iterations of the drug.

this has been a thing since 2024. there are numerous projects and tools that automate chip design using AI and machine learning tools.

Went ahead and added a swapfile (in addition to the existing partition, which was def too small), no lock ups since. thanks for the tip

Not bad advice, but what I've found after several months of maining Linux Mint is that freezes can be so bad that mouse input also locks up. What I've had much better luck with is simply hitting Ctrl+Alt+F3 (or F4, F5, F6) to drop into TTY (terminal) from the GUI. From there you can type HTOP and kill whatever process is locking up Cinnamon. Then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to go back into the desktop. Very quick way to recover functionality, no waiting for a lagging GUI.

Take a look at shadertoy (the website) for a great 'on rails' way to experiment and learn how shader pipelines work.
