So you need SpaceX to increase its launch capacity to somewhere between 20 to 80 times its current rate, completely reimagine the economics of space-based radiators and solar panels, accept that all that shiny new power and cooling CapEx is just as disposable as the GPUs, and you have to adjust the expected use cases and SLAs to allow for nothing being repairable and latency making them unsuitable for many AI tasks.

Yes. “Possible.” I mean, I guess, but we’ve got some powerful Hyperloop energy here. I cannot imagine it ever being more economical than bullying and bribing rural areas with access to a power grid.

What they’re proposing: C-3PO.

What they’re planning: Droideka.

What they’ll sell: R5-D4.

All we want: Gonk.

Also, at least officially, the reason they baptize teenagers with the names of your dead ancestors is because they believe baptism of a physical body is necessary for salvation, AND that they will continue to pester said dead ancestors to convert to Mormonism in heaven’s waiting room.

If some random little shit who lied to his local bishop about cranking it three times a week will get dunked when they read the right name, apparently that helps with the backlog or something, and White Jesus really wants them to get right on that, I assume because his dad is up his ass about TPS Reports or something.

Look, sir, NAZGUL!

Fair enough. I’ve checked levels on a good number of transmissions over the years but never a fancy BMW’s. Possibly also power steering fluid.

It doesn’t look like a 1967 Impala…

Can’t be. No burlap-sack wallpaper.

But yeah, the general point is well taken. They’re so value-priced institutional. You could just imagine the bean counters in Salt Lake revising the approved architectural drawings and paint colors for Tithing Generation Facility, model 1988, rev. 3.

Dude is very possibly a boomer, or I guess Gen X, douchebag, but he’s not necessarily much past 60. He looks like hell because he just totaled his midlife crisis car in memeworthy fashion and had half a dozen airbags explode in his face.

Everybody else has cc already said, but the transmission fluid in particular is why it’s red.

Around here (Texas), it’s the cream cheese and smoked salmon that make a place call it a Philly Roll, and the avocado vs cucumber varies by restaurant. Avocado is pretty popular though, because anything that evokes Tex-Mex will find an audience.

This is also a grocery store Philly Roll. We’re already past simple fusion and into some Red Giant Helium-to-Oxygen shit. If my man wants some ranch, then so be it. He’s not denying himself an unsullied cross-cultural experience.

It’s old American military officer housing, rented out as low income housing for several decades, then after it accidentally lasted long enough to appeal to locals, it was refurbed into a kitschy/artsy commercial area to indulge in Americana through a Japanese lens.

Same, girl. Same.

Mmmm fried gravy!

Flashbacks to some of my first days on the Fediverse. God what a cluster OceanGate was.

Thank you I hate it.

Thank you. I’d have had to see some of them if i were to look up what they’re called.

The weirdest part of ren and stimpy for me was always the smash cuts to the grossout oil painting-like still frames.

Pure nightmare fuel.

I am a heathen, so usually NO-Key, but in culinary circles people who want to nod in the general direction of proper Italian will say something closer to knee-YO-key. Mid-word vowel sounds in American English (all English?) can be extremely variable, though

If you want a proper IPA transcription, this video seems about right.

I would just about bet the texture is similar, but maybe more uniform. I think the goal is to make a goopy sweet and tart syrup reduction that’s vaguely reminiscent of what a proper fruit pie filling would be like, and then construct a cobbler the usual way.

Consumers turn to older DDR4 RAM since prices haven’t gone up as much as DDR5

In absolute dollars, sure, but hoo boy those percentage jumps are ROUGH! I bought 16GB of no-name DDR4 for my aging desktop 15 months ago for USD 22. That same listing is now USD 100, and still pretty close to the cheapest retail I see, though that’s only with an admittedly superficial search of Amazon and PC Part Picker.
