I forget to buy puts on the market every year March 31st.

25 years ago was not 1998, stop it.

Sigh* I think I found my first grey pube.

Relative to the earth you aren’t moving. The simplest way to explain it is using the car example, from inside a car cruising at highway speed you can drop a penny it will fall straight down to the floor of the vehicle as you perceive it relative to the car it didn’t move horizontally in space at all but when you look outside as you drop the penny it becomes evident that the penny has actually moved about 30 feet horizontally relative to the earth in the time from when it was released to when it hit the floor of the car. The earth is our car maintaining a constant velocity as it travels over its highway that is space, looking outside the windows of our car we can extrapolate that relative to the solar system and our universe we are moving very quickly but because we are all moving as one with our planet and there is no noticeable acceleration or deceleration, from our perspective relative to the earth we’re stationary.

I recommend you do a break through amount of magic mushrooms

The perception of time is relative

When I was young I didn’t want to be older I just wanted to live somewhere else

Not even a few there’s a less than 1% chance that a star collision will occur when the two galaxies collide. If the distance between the stars was measured in kilometres the stars would be grains of sand.

Additionally while the stars exhibit gravity that often doesn’t put them on collision courses. Play some kerbal space program and learn how hard it is to hit a large gravitational object without just slingshotting around it.

Hear me out put them on the cars, it can be a little rough up there as well but no where near as hazardous to the panels as in between the things like auto carriers tanks and a variety of hoppers you get like 200sqft per car just on the top empty a car is 30-40 ton so adding another 2% for panels and energy storage isn’t a big deal the extra operating cost to the train is minimal on flats trains run like 1.0-1.6 HPT (horsepower per ton) to maintain 60 mph, the engines are already diesel electric just spend the payout through the engine and the added wind will help keep the panels free of debris.

I reckon you could top and side the cars and guarantee solar production from top and one side at a time 100 cars on a double set train x400sq ft top and one side =40,000 sq feet of solar panel x 20 watts =800,000 watts / 750 watts per hp it’s a bonus 1000+hp in the sunlight pretty good considering 100loaded cars can be pulled by 8800hp.

I have a shield pro it’s a bona fide piece of shit. I originally bought it when cheap Amazon streaming boxes with slightly better than raspberry pi specs were the norm, I wanted a streaming device with a little more processing power that would stand the test of time and not be as laggy and temperamental as what was currently on the market. Enter Nvidia shield a $300CAD (should have been a down payment on a new console) that gets you this sleek awkward angled streaming device that gets laggier than an iPhone 6 after updates.

I unplug my Nvidia Shield more often than my toaster because it freezes up so much. It pales in comparison to the onboard “Smart” component of my new LG tv.

If you need a streaming device just get a fire stick and just don’t say anything important or controversial in the TV’s room again. 👂

Might have to skip next gen too I’m not expecting too many second hand deals on the two dozen 4080’s Nvidia sold.

I think I’m done with Nvidia, such a shame they have the better drivers.

As the owner on an iPhone max I wouldn’t actually mind a medium ground between the normal size and oversize.

Noctua isn’t alone in the premium performance fan department anymore. Phanteks t30 and the new be quiet silent wings.

Personally I like the phanteks t30 they sport a slightly wider blade than traditional 120mm fans, so they’re already cheating the competition a little but at the end of the day they push more air but with their design they might not fit every application particularly in some cpu coolers where you might have a fan sandwiched in between two radiators. The fans themselves are of a much tighter tolerance than you’ll find in just about any ABS fan, glass fibre reinforced material is very recognizable across all three of the aforementioned manufacturers in their premium line and it has less play than ABS which you might find in an RGB fan. Both phanteks and be quiet have 3000rpm models a feature which is obtrusively loud to use but a nice to have just in case you ever repurpose your fans for anything else like making your own little server room or a drying cabinet, while the ceiling of 3000rpm is completely impractical for daily use I find my t30’s do hit a nice balance at 1800-2000rpm in my closed case with noise comparable to my old Corsair fans clapped out at 1400rpm while also pushing more air even if the rpm’s were even.

I’m not OP and never made any claim to a correlation between population and mechanization. But one day the price for young blood might actually take a sharp incline when the population demographic looks like Japan, we either won’t be around to see it or we’ll be too old to reap the benefits. The US is growing by immigration by the way it’s birth rate is 1.6 per woman.

The birth rate in all first world countries is now below 2.0 babies to women. As the cost of raising children increases people have fewer children. Times have changed drastically from a hundred years ago when your retirement policy was essentially to just have as many children as possible. The birth rate is still above 2.0 in some third world countries but the pursuit for the cheapest labour is bringing money into these countries, second world countries are making quick grasps at becoming first world and third are rising to second status. As extreme poverty decreases contraceptive becomes more affordable and before you know it the population will start to slip.

If anything it might even work a little in reverse, mass production scales down man hours per part made, the inverse would be true if you go away from mass production.

It’s not just the colour the overall quality is affected. Shitty chicken feed can reduce the quality of an egg so badly that it becomes difficult to crack it into a pan without breaking the yoke, it’ll even soften the shells and make a fresh egg taste two weeks old.

You are what you eat and by proxy what your food eats.

20MPH that’s a deaf children playing speed limit, I’d be so pissed if my city centre dropped the speed limit to 20MPH.
