Warm ciabatta with pesto, heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, a pinch of salt and black pepper, balsamic glaze, and some greens.

For some variety add grilled portabella patties, Parmesan, or brie.

Well he got that exactly backwards. It’s in fact immoral to starve 2 million Gazans and significant world powers will not only let you, but help you facilitate it.

I’m honestly kind of surprised there aren’t “torrent torrents.” Just distributing a collection of torrents that might be of interest within a given category, say “top 100 movies of 2024.” Once you have the list of torrents locally you are less reliant upon some website hosting them for you.

There was the one where the guy said “feminism is the worst thing that has ever happened to women.”

The one where the guy said “[Jesus] rolled away the stone and crawled out of his tomb fully healed even though his legs were broken” was pretty interesting giving the blatant blasphemy of it all. He had to apologize next week.

I have not. I’m mostly doing webdev on it and it works fine for that. I honestly don’t even need the dedicated GPU. If there’s something you’d like me to run lmk and I’ll see if I can find time for it. I’m running Debian stable on it and it’s the i7-12700H with an RTX A1000 and 32GB 4800MHz RAM version.

I got a Gen 5 - 21DDS70700 from Newegg shortly before the Gen 7 was released. I originally bought a refurbished higher end model from their outlet store but they sent the wrong model so I returned it. It is built and performs well and has a great screen and keyboard.

I’d love an AMD P1 as well. I just bought a P1 after looking at their offerings for a while and while I did look into their AMD offerings they just seemed to have intentionally neutered them.

Which applies only to the Revelation of John.

The Bible doesn’t say that you shouldn’t edit or correct the Bible because the authors of the Bible didn’t have the rest of the Bible.

Moses gives some explicit commands to the Israelites to not modify the commands he gives in Deuteronomy, but that doesn’t really apply to the other books.

Likewise, some guy named “John” warns against anyone adding or removing from the account of his acid trip in Revelations, but that doesn’t really apply to other books.

The “Bible” was constructed over a long process and while what many think of as the “Bible” was finalized by 400AD there are still disagreements today (See Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Pentecostalism, Mormonism, and many other smaller sects).

The original authors wrote disparate works for distinct purposes at distinct points in time. They were not writing with the goal of manufacturing a multi-thousand year story bound as a single volume.

How do we know the full story?

We don’t. We use archeology, biology, anthropology, and other scientific disciplines to determine a likely path of the story of humanity as a whole. Some disciplines use the books of the Bible and other contemporary accounts to guide areas of future study, but if you want a single source for the history of the earth, humanity, or even the Israelites the Bible isn’t going to offer an honest perspective.

Not exactly an explicit ad, but more a product I heard about from an infomercialesque “review” for the PCPanel.

It was a cheap gadget that addressed a shortcoming I was experiencing. It works well and I use it every time I use my computer.

A microphone is a membrane attached to a means to generate electricity (like shaking wires around a magnet). When you make sound by a mic you shake the membrane and it in turn generates a small amount of electricity.

This electricity is an analog signal (it’s continuous, and the exact amount changes over time). We can take that signal and digitize it (literally chop it up into distinct digits) by using an ADC or analog to digital converter. Essentially an ADC takes a snapshot of the analog signal at a specific point in time, and repeats that snapshot process very quickly. If you take enough snapshots fast enough you can have a reasonable approximation of the original signal (like following a dotted line).

Now we have a digital signal and we can store those series of snapshots in a file.

But how do we turn that back into sound? We literally just follow the process in reverse.

We open the file and get the list of snapshots. We pass those to a DAC or digital to analog converter that generates a continuous analog signal that passes through every original point. We pass that signal to thin wire wrapped around a magnet and attached to a membrane. This mechanism takes the small generated electric field from the DAC and causes the membrane to shake in the same pattern that the mic originally shook in.

In practice there are often other steps in line such as amps to increase the strength of a signal or compression to minimize how much space the snapshots take up.

What about “Lemons?”

Can’t tell if the spelling misstakes are engagement bait or just a sad irony.

This is a literal plot point of Stargate.

Higher dimensional beings exist in a state manifest to us as differing realities. Which “reality” we see is partially dependent upon the difference in locations of the portals we take to the pocket.

There is only one Waffle House with doors around the world.

JFK’s head just did that on its own.

By allowing more people access to your games, more people have access to your games to purchase … with money … that goes to you and helps your business’s bottom line.
