Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.
Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.
The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).
Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.
He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.
He got old.
I hadn’t played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃
Don’t underestimate Colorado. Though it’s largely the recent Denver transplants keeping up that stereotype, whereas it’s the long-term Texans.
There’s a cool thing where pyrex, Pyrex, and PYREX are all different kinds of glass, age only one of them is the really good scientific-grade glass.
Arid shrublands definitely isn’t easier than a temperate forest biome. Tons of wood and berries there. I think they spawn more fertile soil than other biomes as well.
And a tribal start also makes things more difficult because it cripples your research speed.
When I want a chill game, I have a custom start that’s basically the standard “crashlanded” but with 5 pawns instead of 3. Lets me cover more skills in the early game rather than struggling through until I can recruit to fill the gaps.
This is like, technically a weapon. It’s a tool for destroying enemy missiles in the air before they impact their target. It’s about as purely defensive of a weapon as you can get.
The US soldiers are operating the missile defense system, so there’s not room for Israel to “creatively” repurpose them. They aren’t assisting in any missions in Palestine, they’re purely defending against Iranian missiles.
Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.
Why does a language have different words for different concepts?
It’s an abbreviation.
Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it’s not an acronym.
On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they’re spoken as the letters rather than the “word” they create.
FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.
That’s…not an acronym. That’d just be LG.
Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.
A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.
That buckler, however, is not being held correctly. You hold it as far out in front of you as possible with a stiff arm. You don’t sweep blows away like in dark souls.
Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.
How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!
Kakuna wearing a tux?
:q!
The first vim command anybody should memorize. Quit without saving.
Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.
