There was a doctor who said to me, "computer games can be addictive". This was after I told her I play games, so she was pretty much implying that I was getting addicted. This was when I hadn't played for over a month due to lack of time from my 9 to 6:30 job.
The same doctor bragged about how she couldn't go about her day without drinking coffee right after waking up.
She said those 2 things within the same 5 minutes.
The effects of technology do not occur at the level of opinions or concepts, but alter sense ratios or patterns of perception steadily and without any resistance.
This is a nice one.
And I see it happening right in front of my eyes at work.
'How it is used' will defer by the individual and specially for new tools, there will always be a generation of suffering.
Project Management, Jira/scrum etc had one (I'd say, still ongoing for most workplaces, that haven't figured out the correct match). This one will too; probably more of it.
Because it is easier to read large codebases of Python than large codebases of Bash.
title, subtitle, quote and 1st paragraph are pretty much the same and 2rd paragraph is also the same
Isn't that a typical answer sheet in the Writing section of the English exam with a minimum word count?
Loved the "for AI only" Section.
At least I don't have to worry about it not taking the weight of the TV.
I didn't like walnuts,

Remember: the people saying, "Wikipedia isn't a valid source" accepted some random PDF sharing website with 10 popup ads, which you got to after clicking "Accept the risk" as a "valid source".
If the unicorn were to just dig downwards a little, it could get ahead quite a bit.
No magic. It's all just software.
I did REJ a few times to recover from problems with a VM causing problems with S3 sleep.
Microsoft is killing its useful products to push you onto Open Source products.
Those who just can't get off of its brand are getting alternative cloud products as for consolation.
So now they are doing it server-side?
So I have seen a few GPU heatsinks and I wonder why some of them are how they are.
The originally intended and most widely used placement for ATX cases at least, is installing right on the PCIe slot, which goes horizontally and with the air incoming from the front of the case.
Then we have the "vertical" placement using the riser cable, which changes the direction from which the GPU fans take in air, but keep the GPU front, in the same direction, again lining up with the incoming air from the front.
Finally the very rare vertical placement, which has the front of the GPU rotated towards the top of the case, making it not line up with an airflow incoming from the front.
This also makes the GPU's ports inaccessible the standard way, giving a reason to the rarity.
Some examples I found for this
Here we see that the first 2 placements would make up most of the ATX PC builds with the third one being either for different case styles or for extensively customised builds.
I would assume that having the air flow along the fins would be better than it crossing the fins at ⦜90°. And even if the air flow due to the case inlet is being ⟂ to the airflow from the GPU fans (in case of front incoming air flowing along the fins), it should still lead to overall increase in air pressure (hence, air density) between the fins.^[Source: Mental simulation] Considering that GPUs tend to have gaps in the IO shield to let the air go out the back, I would assume they (designers of the thermal dissipation solution) want air from the fins to go out the back, which would be better with fins parallel to front incoming air.
From the above 2, it would make sense for most GPUs to have their heatsink fins going along their length instead of their width, right?
Then what's up with the ASRock lineup, with all cards other than the Passive model, the Creator cards (which have the front covered by the shroud anyway, so no incoming airflow) and the watercooled cards (which is not applicable) having the fins ⟂ to front air inlet?
And of course they are not the only one doing it that way.
While discussing in this thread, I realised another point (which I didn't state anywhere in the comments):
Also, bought 2 of them, because the brain needed to fart out loud.
Not only are the fans much slower than what the sticker says (2000RPM), they also make more heat in the motor than they will ever dissipate. And of course, they just couldn't sell one without RGB.
Looked closely and even the axle is not centred.
On the other hand
Can someone help me do something fun with this that would make me feel less shitty about myself?
