  1. I generally just keep swapping parts till i get to the point where its either the motherboard or CPU and buy new ones if i get there since I never have another CPU of the same socket or motherboard.
  2. Iran and the US are working on a new nuclear deal, so possibly some cooling going on and aiding Ukraine to further that along.
  3. Its wild how many orgs run shit from some "top adviser for X" saying the economy is about to take a nose dive any day now, for like that past 2 years, and like clockwork anymore the numbers come out and everything is fine, lol.
  4. Keeping out brown people is extremely popular among the elderly regardless of party.
  5. What i'm saying is the batteries have a heating and cooling system to keep them at their ideal temps, which is between ~65-80 degress F, in order to do this they have separate heating and chillers for the batteries themselves that are separate from your cabin heating and a/c, like yeah even if you don't turn your heaters on in the winter you're going to see pretty big mileage loss because of the battery heaters themselves. In the last year or so i've sat through far too many EV presentations, another thing is in extreme cold your batteries will also not take a charge so the battery heaters need to be on so that it can even charge, on buses this takes as much as 4kwh from your charger so if you have a low end fast charger at 20kwh its taking 20% of your power just to keep the batteries warm enough to charge. I'm sure something similar is happening with cars, basically EVs with ion lithium batteries in cold weather is no bueno.
  6. Haven't really seen cold weather mileage talked about with cars, school bus manufacturers have told us from the start that when its cold out that 135 mile range is gonna be more like 70 when its cold out, not surprised its about the same with cars, but it sounds like Tesla was even overhyping their ideal conditions mileage. Basically unless its 70 and overcast you're not going to ever hit the advertised mileage with an EV, once you're outside the 60-80 degree temperature range the battery needs to be cooled or heated to maintain ideal temperatures, and those are separate to the interior a/c, and heaters. So mileage drops like a stone in cold temps, and a fair bit in hotter temps but cooler is less energy intensive.
  7. Probe stuff only makes sense if they're from a nearby star where a few dozen years might go by before you get return data, or if they're an machine race and time is meaningless, and we've been marked for exterminatus in some coming millennia.
  8. They did this with Starcraft 2, each expansion they added devastating AOE units that in a pros hand isn't so bad cause the guy they're playing against is also damn fast, but in normies hands you blink and you just lost your whole army, stuff like this also happens in pro games, but the game is worse off because of it. A lot of there problems also stem from modern gaming revenue where they can't just sell you a 60+ dollar game anymore they now have to get you to buy shit so you end up with endless grinds or buy this to get around it. Live service games are generally a no from me anymore cause of this.
  9. From experience you don't buy the starter house thinking of it as a starter house, it becomes a starter house once you realize its too small after you have a kid, if you don't have kids you probably won't have the feeling of your house is too small. The supply of "starter" home sizes is basically gone anymore though, its like everything built in the last 25-30 years is at least 1500 sq ft., and in the last 10 years it seems nothing under 2000 sq. ft. just isn't built anymore, at least around here.
  10. Not saying its this, but there are a lot of explanations that aren't aliens, but basically oxygen issues in fighters is a thing. Physiological issues in flight are going down, but still persist WWW.AIRFORCETIMES.COM Five years after a spike in reports of dangerous mental and physical effects in flight, military aviators are breathing easier. But problems persist.
  11. So they just brought some dudes up who said they saw shit, but with no documents or anything to back up what they said? "Ohh yeah he def filed that report no doubts, they just hid the truth man!"
  12. It looks stupid but praising the dog is probably the correct thing here, as far as the dog knows he did what he was supposed to, and discouraging it from attacking its target would just be confusing to it. Now this scenario probably wasn't a good idea to let the dog go, fucking cars crashing into each other, cops running all over the place, just way too much for the dog to parse, the other handler at the end probably realized this which is why he never released him.
  13. I don't get how this guy thinks he fits in with the democratic party at all.
  14. Their given name, unless directed to do otherwise by the parents, in which case you know the parents know. Basically you don't just tell the parents "well your kid wants to be know as X, when their name is Y" its really not that complicated.
  15. This goes against CAs education departments guidance, and theres a good chance he state legislature would pass a law stopping this stuff, NY did it pre-emptively a few months ago updating their DASA law with explicit language for trans youth.
  16. Like sure you want a faster CPU to push more frames if you're playing a competitive game with settings lowered or something where you're trying to push into the hundreds for FPS, but if you're maxing your settings in a game like Cyberpunk, regardless of resolution the GPU is more important.
  17. I mean its a pretty empty threat, like i could see them boarding an doing search and seizures or something claiming they found weapons or something but not actually firing on a civilian cargo ship for no reason, that would be pretty good justification for further international intervention, while further isolating themselves, especially when they know damn well the weapons are just crossing Ukraine's western land border.
  18. I mean if the time between upgrades is 4+ years for you, you're pretty future proofed till you're ready to do it again, or even longer. I typically go higher end on CPUs, then upgrade GPUs a few times over like 6 years or so, then again i haven't bought the absolute top of the line GPU ever.
  19. I find just about everything anymore is insanely quiet having to crank the volume, until the music starts then its up to 11, I don't know what the sound guys are smoking when they're doing this stuff, but these are streaming shows people are watching in their unoptimized for sound homes with cheap equipment not theaters with state of the art sound systems. None of this would be an issue if the music didn't just explode your eardrums when it starts up with your volume cranked to hear people talking.
  20. I suppose if it decapitated Russia wiping out the entirety of the upper echelons of their command and some subordinates who have no idea what happened but have launch capabilities and no way of figuring out what happened.
  21. I feel this is more likely to be an empty threat, like they're not going to sink a Turkish ship, that would be truly insane. If the US operated in the black sea we would absolutely continue to operate as normal.
