At work I have this nice wooden box with a hinged lid. I think it used to hold teabags. On the front there’s a dymo label with fancy font: “Box of Memories”
Inside there’s an obscene amount of RAM that have been taken out of decommissioned servers.
An idiot capable of correcting one self, at least. Whatever your question was, I’m glad I could help (I think?)
By “launch”, you mean its release date, right? I paid for early access years before that.
Copying my comment from a discussion a while back:
Everything I wear is based around practicality which involves a lot carrying capacity. As someone who’s a lot on the move, this is my usual kit:
Jeans, right pocket: Snus
Jeans, left pocket: Bluetooth earbud charging box thingy
Jeans, right back pocket: Boarding pass / ticket
Jeans, left back pocket: reserved for trash
Jacket, left front pocket: card holder, in which I also keep receipts
Jacket, left inner pocket: Phone
Jacket, front right pocket: varies. Usually a pack of chewing gum and a pen
Jacket, right inner pocket: Wallet with passport and misc other important stuff
Backpack: Two laptops, a change of clothing, USB battery bank, a bunch of adapters so I can plug in almost anywhere, phone stand, misc access cards, a plastic fork, and a toothbrush. Plenty of room to spare for things I add last minute or pick up along the way.
When I’m only moving locally, it’s the same except I don’t bring my backpack. And when I’m not flying, I have a small multitool/knife in my right inner jacket pocket instead of my wallet.
Oh, and up until a few hours ago I used to have my sunglasses hanging from a ring that is hanging Frodo-style around my neck. But I realized while I was boarding my plane on my way home that I’d left them in the airport lounge. No time to fetch them, but they weren’t particularly expensive.
I don’t see the problem. But that’s probably because my goto-language is perl.
Same. I have a general rule that I don’t pre-order. I also tend to wait for reviews to come in. This is because I’ve been burned in the past. I made exceptions to this for CP2077 and KSP2, and we all know how those went.
So what used to be more like general guidelines for myself have now become strict rules.
But Factorio has earned an exception. They’ve proven time and time again that the game is a product of passion and not (primarily, at least) profits. This has been clearly visible since I first bought it during early access in 2016 or thereabouts.
So its expansion will be instabuy for me. The game has simply given me so many hours of entertainment that one could argue that if anything, at least I will now have paid full price for the game I already have (I don’t remember what I paid for Factorio, but it was dirt cheap).
Must be a continental thing. Here in noggieland we have a simple illuminated green cross.
“Look, 4chan is here!”
Same. I get the shits after my 3rd cup in the morning if I haven’t eaten anything.
Xenial, I think it’s called. I was the youngest, and I was born in 1983. My siblings are Def GenX, and I never quite identified with that group.
I never quite identified as a millennial either, I’m somewhere in between.
I only remember the rough outline:
Dual Xeon gold of some sort. The CPUs were upgraded in 2021, so whatever was reasonably top shelf around that time would be a good bet.
256GB RAM
Intel X710 Dual SFP+ 10gig net
Mellanox ConnectX (5, I think, not sure) 100gig net
Some high end NVIDIA card. I don’t remember which, but it replaced a Quadro P5000.
Broadcom 3108 with cache battery
36x Exos 10TB 3.5" SAS drives
2x SSD of some type I do not remember
2x NVMe, don’t remember those either.
Supermicro X11 mainboard.
Supermicro 5U chassis with drive bays in both back and front
Some bits were upgraded, such as network, cpu, ram, and GPU. It’d be substantially less today, but the original setup is from 2017, and I remember seeing an invoice of ~180.000 USD equivalent each. My house is 150.000 USD equivalent.
Each cluster involves four or six of these machines in a modified shipping container along with some other hardware, working as a mobile data cruncher.
I grew up on the coast, and my parents always had this rule to never eat/cook/serve shellfish that weren’t fished (shellfished?) same day or yesterday.
Bloodletting actually has its uses. It’s rare, but a valid treatment. It’s called phlebotomy now, but it’s essentially the same thing.
I don’t remember exactly what the condition was, but I remember my grandfather went through it. Something to do with too much iron.
EDIT:
According to chatgpt, the condition is called hemochromatosis. It matches my grandfather’s description of having high levels of ferritin.
Well, when you walk through the garden, you better watch your back…
Honestly, I don’t. I stopped caring about windows ages ago.
It was.

What is this sexy thing?
