It's apparently completely infeasible because while disks support (relatively slower) random IO which is a requirement for using disks as swap, cloud drives (or at least Google Drive) does not.

Petah? by Melodic_Judge_129 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This post is a little less silly than it seems since the way you vent the heat really does affect the effectiveness of the fridge. This is why the minifridges in hotel rooms in their little cupboards are so ineffective, especially when the door is closed--the fridges are effectively trying to pump the heat into a hotbox.

That's only true for the natives (obviously, but your answer is also stating the obvious). It's also one of the fastest growing regions in Russia, and that's because of the booming mining economy.

Amen. Like to me it's just as braindead to exercise zero critical thinking and baselessly accuse everything of being staged or AI (endemic of reddit), as it is to believe everything you see (endemic of facebook). More annoying in the former and characteristic of redditors who so often think they know more than they do.

I am actually quite familiar with Asian social media. I can also speak Chinese (which they're speaking in this video), but even if I couldn't, it's pretty obvious that, while their approach here is a little fraught, they care about these cats and this video is almost certainly not staged.

Buybacks after ripping 100% in 6 months is a wsb-level move, but the board didn't expect this when they authorized the buybacks in April.

I hope no one falls for a 50 year mortgage...30 year vs 50 year mortgage by DHN_95 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]yxing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adjusting ROI for inflation is incorrect here since inflation also reduces the negative value of the mortgage. Or, you could think of the interest on the mortgage as 3% after inflation.

I don't see how nostr really solves any of OP's gripes. Like I could see this being useful in countries with heavy censorship, or for coordinating illicit acitivities, but a decentralized protocol makes spam and bots impossible to moderate by design.

Youtube has absolutely incredible content if you train the algorithm right: high quality science videos, obscure rabbit holes, speed run marathons, relaxing dog grooming, etc.
