Threadripper already accomplished all of this years ago. My TR2970WX has 24 cores/48 threads, 48 PCI-E lanes, and it supports ECC and non-ECC RAM. My AsRock Rack board has BMC support as well.

The Threadripper series was the perfect workstation CPU. I’ve had mine for a few years and it can handle anything I throw at it, it can easily transcode 2-3 4K videos while doing multiple other things.

It wasn’t cheap though, it was like $650 on sale, originally like a grand or so.

I’m a Linux System Engineer and was the only one in my team that knew Go. I decided to update our mess of old shell scripts for post-provisioning and my boss suggested that I do it in Python so it can easily by edited/fixed by anyone on the team. I spent like two days attempting to do it in Python and then gave up because it would mean transferring a bunch of source code around, installing dependencies and just general annoyances.

In the end the Go project ended up being about 1300 lines of code across a few source files, but it could act as both the client and server (necessary for our hosts in our DMZ to hit our AWX server) with a single binary and no additional dependencies. It was also only like 10 MB.

You should be proud

I’m 38 and had to think real hard to remember when they had the foil wrapper and paper sleeve.

Local business owners don’t stock their goods at the checkout counter at Walgreens. Also, even though I’m in a big city, no one makes something like the Kinder Bueno, it’s not a simple chocolate bar.

Same, it’s pretty damn ridiculous how much trash we generate.

They’re my absolute weakness. I usually get two two packs and was like “oh they make a four pack now?” Thinking it would be less packaging… nope, it was more!

Yeah, I ordered two end tables with shelves from Amazon a few weeks ago and they were like that. Each table had about 10-15 bags, and like 7 sheets of styrofoam.

What’s funny is after living in NYC for 5 years and being forced to use reusable bags for years I got used to it. I moved to Miami about 5 months ago and I’m Downtown so I can walk to most places I need to go, and bring a reusable bag with me. A lot of stores down here aren’t used to customers using a reusable bag, so I would tend to get a lot of looks haha I’d walk across the street to get my groceries and they would give me like 5-10 plastic bags when I’m like “I can fit like 75% of it in my backpack and these two bags”.

Only the individual bar wrappings were the standard clear plastic (stronger and more rigid than cling film), the two and four pack wrappers were the folk-like wrappers that you would see on Kit-Kats and the like.

I can tell you for certain it’s more than two packs of Twix. A lot more.

No wonder they’re trying to make more money off of people printing! 🤣

A single wrapper and the cardboard tray would suffice. You probably don’t even need the tray TBH. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten broken Twix bars, and I eat them all the time.

For one, just like any other harvestable good, it takes a lot of land and resources to grow the palm trees.

Yeah, I think I got an invite from a friend on a forum I frequented.

Nitrous Oxide doesn’t knock you out, it just (deeply) sedates you and is a moderate pain killer.

With IV administered general anesthesia you’re knocked out in literal seconds, it’s wild if you’ve never experienced it. I’ve been “put under” three times: twice to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed and once for inguinal hernia surgery. It messes you up for a good hour or two post-surgery though.

The effects of Nitrous Oxide are reversed within a few minutes of cessation of exposure to the gas (I’ve done it recreationally numerous times, inhaling it while drunk is a wild experience everything is in slow motion like you’re looking into a strobe light).

So the ads are in the section labeled “ads”, who would have thought! (not being snide with you, just that’s where they should be haha)

The public beta started in like 04 or 05 IIRC, I got my Gmail account my freshman year of college. I guess you were one of the cool people that got in on the closed beta.

I’ve used Gmail since 2005 and don’t ever remember seeing ads, but then again I use ad blockers on pretty much all my devices.
