My workaround for limited fan control via GPU temps was to just water cool my entire PC. I could have tied it to my water temp, but my components are rarely above 50C. I have two rads though, overkill for my 3080 and 3700X.

At least that’s my excuse, had to justify spending a dumb amount of money for cooling on top of the dumb amount of money already spent on the computer. Basically is spun up for a handful of Rocket League games and that’s about it.

Are all of these the same population size? That is roughly what our districts are, partitions of our populace into ~equal regions. Our nearest second level partition would be counties, which are drawn based on characteristics that largely remained static since their creation (1600s). Districts are generally redrawn every 10 years, but well… here we are.

In theory, districts are supposed to be race blind, and group together people based on rough location. But they don’t necessarily need to be the least complex shapes (hexagons), because that generally isn’t how humans have settled in areas. Again, in theory it was meant to capture groupings of people who would want or deserve similar representation but aren’t optimally clumped together. Instead, both sides have abused the lack of simple shapes rule to really fuck with representation. In particular, these last 20 years have seen the worst gerrymandering abuses because computing power progress made it feasible to gerrymander with ease. In theory past it has generally been held that redistricting happens every 10 years, so the middle of every third president.

Constant brawls no, but I’d never say the NYC subways are boring.

It is a prototype.

Their development roadmap specifically mentions Android AND iOS versions…

I haven’t reviewed the whole thing, only small parts but it does look to handle online verification better (re: invasiveness).

There is a section talking about a prototype app already released that is used to store age. It verifies off a couple different government docs (ID, bank details, upcoming Digital ID), but in the end only stores the user’s age (no name, ID, birth date, or other details). The fact page for the app claims that once age is established there is no further contact between the user and age verifier, but of course this is where I likely see the issue with any age verification tool. It’ll depend on whether the verification tool trashes age-related data once done with it, or if they retain a copy for whatever reasons.

Proof of age is tied to the age required per country per activity, but this sounds far more reasonable than having a single company verify and manage age data (Persona in the US).

Just some thoughts on where this may go.

If this continues to keep the public’s eye, Trump may offer Maxwell a pardon for “testimony”. May be truthful, may not, but basically gets her out of jail. Lying under oath carries a lower penalty and sentence than her current crimes, and this mostly prevents any related federal charges.

Or perhaps an offer of a pardon to stay silent until this dies down. I just checked and it doesn’t look like pardons need to be disclosed to the public, matters like ongoing court cases or sensitive matters can preclude disclosure. Not that legality has been stopping Trump from doing what he wants anyways.

Finally, he may just actually go for a full pardon of himself for these crimes. Doesn’t stop him from falling prey to states charges, which stands a better chance now that he’s served two terms.

IANAL, so feel free to correct me where wrong.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a book that was made into a movie.

Oh I agree, but a quick movie rewatch vs re-reading the entire book?

I rewatch this movie probably once every couple of years, and it’s just about that time. Thanks for the reminder!

So… you’re saying the options were ONLY:

1. Vote Harris and go on like this have a chance at actual reform
2. Vote Trump and burn it all down watch access and affordability evaporate

What do you mean what other option is there? It was quite clear that Trump intends to abide by Project 2025, and what it spells out for the future of America’s education system is bleak. He had no intention of making it more affordable, and every intention of making it pay to play.

Maybe he’ll fix the affordability aspect as a side-effect of his mass deportations, but that won’t matter all that much when the general public fails to qualify for tertiary schooling. That public-private education quality divide is just going to snowball and make higher education even more of an elitist activity.

Kinda blends two different internet memes.

Sources:

1. The Enigma of Amigara Fault
2. The Square Hole

I’d recommend you go read / view both of the sources yourself, they’re each great in their own unique ways. The first is a horror manga about compulsion and death wishes, the second a light hearted joke about a kid’s block set.

In the above meme, the far right girl is reacting to the circle humanoid on the left finding “their” hole. But, of course, the circle humanoid should actually be in a circle hole, despite them fitting in a square hole.

SPOILERS AHEAD

I kinda hate the fact I understand this meme. I’m gonna go outside and touch some grass now.

Edit: I am not active in the manga community, but here is the first link I found to read the full Enigma text. If there is another more ethical / more internet friendly version, feel free to comment it below my comment and I’ll amend my link.
