He might not be told "no" this time, though. He would be CiC, he would be their boss.

Linux imo.

Windows 10 is no good, sadly. It's no longer getting support from MS so it's going to become increasingly vulnerable to shenanigans.

Rip the bandage off and go Linux. It'll hurt at first but being freed of MS is hard to put a price on. They're talking this Recall nonsense now, who knows what they'll push in Windows 13 or 14.

It's the cache. Simple answer is the cache. That makes a big difference for gaming.

It makes less difference for other tasks, though, while the incredible core count of the 7950x helps with a lot of things. Right now, getting a 7800x3d is tough anyway. I just bought most of a new computer and went for a 9950x which is actually not much more expensive.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you're determined that gaming performance is the only thing that matters (or that the core count does you no good--either of these things is certainly reasonable) i would still wait anyway for the 9800x3d. That's probably going to be out by the end of the year and likely will be a step up... or at least obtainable near MSRP.

Basically, don't worry about it.

No talk of sending the national guard in to "quell" them, yet, it seems. How unlike the response to the George Floyd protests...

It's 507 paragraphs long and written in a mix of German and Esperanto but yeah, it's right there! Clear as day!

Putting it another way, what's being described here is not a capitalist. It is a bank or other form of money lender. When you take out a loan the bank is taking a risk that you won't pay them back, but if you do they get a little extra in the form of interest. You don't, however, keep paying them for the rest of your life even once the loan is paid off.

Water bowls are stagnant water and animals can sense that and do not like it. In nature, stagnant water is dangerous and kind of a last resort. Heck, even humans can taste this and probably don't like it. Try leaving a bowl of water out for 24 hours and drink it yourself, you might be able to tell it's not good.

Fountains keep that water tasting fresh, though tbh they might fill it with micro plastics or something so who knows if it's really an improvement.

If the dude was threatening the cops with a knife there's no way they would have let the knife out of their sight. I doubt there ever was a knife, and if there ever was it sounds like they abandoned the weapon to go kill the guy.

I hope that's true.

I don't think objecting to police brutality and summary execution is authoritarian. That's more like the opposite.
