The equation to determine watts is P=VA

If you have the same voltage and a higher amperage, then by definition you have a higher wattage.

Based on some other coverage I've seen, specifically from reviewers who were denied early review copies, it looks like BioWare/EA is doing what most companies do and shopping around for reviewers who will be especially positive. They're just being especially aggressive with it this time around. It's not a good look, but it's expected for basically any major publisher.

It sounds like after the early press only event they did a while back, a bunch of reviewers who were critical of the game then got ghosted by EA's PR people and never received early review copies.

So, like all pre-launch reviews take any reviews you're seeing now with a grain of salt and wait until a week or so after launch to see the reviews that weren't cherry-picked by EA's corporate PR.

Mull at least has been fixed in the divestOS repo. I can't speak to fennec as I don't use it.

The version in the f-droid main repo is behind because of Mozilla changing their repo system thus screwing with the build process and at least for now currently requiring a compiler that doesn't meet F-Droid's (IMO slightly ridiculous) standards for allowable software.

Yeah, setting up qBittorrent plus an RSS feed and VPN takes very little time and effort. Not much harder than signing up for a subscription service. Then maintaining it is as simple as updating your RSS feed with new anime you want to watch at the start of the season or when you find something you'd like to see.

Plex can be a bit of pain to setup to properly scrape anime, but there are some good guides out there. Jellyfin is easier, but setting it up for remote access is more difficult.

All in all, it's a bit more up front effort for an overall better experience than having to juggle several monthly subscriptions every anime season just to watch everything you want to watch.

If you want to support the creators, buy the blu-rays when they come out.

I think he meant the Ur-Dick, the primordial penis, the first phallus, the archetypal dong all men strive for.

I thought I had too much to drink. Turns out MC Escher decided to make a surrealist dachshund.

I love it, but it doesn't pair well with soju.

The nostrils are connected to the throat through the sinuses as are the ear canals. Topologically making them all part of the same mouth-anus throughole.

Not to retail workers. The vast majority of them are underpaid and overworked. Between the stressful nature of a job like that and the various stresses that tend to come along with being an adult working for anywhere near minimum wage they probably don't have the mental bandwidth to care about anything beyond their ability to get by. You're not going to change anything by being a dick to someone like that.

Now if you happen to run into a developer or similarly paid person for a company like Meta or Google, absolutely be a dick to them. They've chosen to work for evil and have the means to choose otherwise. Acute social pressure could actually make them care and choose something else.

Except all of those things you listed would be business expenses which aren't taxable as they would be deducted from gross profits as part of the calculation for determining net profit (which is the taxable part of profit) and if they're also using that as a charitable contribution then they are deducting it twice which the IRS tends to frown upon. Or at least they would if they had any kind of worthwhile enforcement mechanism for dealing with corporations.

I would assume the tax agencies of countries outside the US similarly frown upon such double deductions, possibly even with effective enforcement.

Fun fact: humans are geometrically a donut.

Considering making a wish on a shooting star? Been granted a wish scroll by an obnoxious DM? Give a lamp a handjob only for it ejaculate a genie? Then you need the services of Nine Hells Legal! Our prestigious law firm can draft up an ironclad wish for all your mortal needs! No loopholes guaranteed or your soul back.

I know it's a typo, but the image of Lobo, DC's heavy metal space biker, reading books to someone while they lie in bed is hilarious.

Use Solaris. You can't have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.

Eh, FOOF is so unstable that it's very hard to make enough of it to do any real damage. It's also just very hard to make. It's only remotely stable at cryogenic temperatures, and is so reactive that without an inert atmosphere it will rapidly decay into something more stable. Granted, it will do so by oxidizing the molecular oxygen in the air (which is as insane as it sounds) and release a ton of energy in the process but assuming you don't already have a bunch of it, you won't be able to create enough of it fast enough to do any meaningful damage without a specialized laboratory and associated equipment.

Chlorine Triflouride however, can be made in your kitchen, and is just stable enough that, assuming you've taken some precautions, it's possible to accumulate enough of it to immolate yourself in one of the worst possible ways.

Most weapons. Bows and swords are cooler than guns and knives. Trebuchets and catapults are cooler than any form of modern artillery.

Modern warfare, when it becomes necessary, should be fought purely with weapons designed prior to the 16th century. Just replace horses with dirtbikes and ATVs.

Also, when they catastrophically failed they wound up looking like industrial lovecraftian horrors and produced some of the loudest non-nuclear man made explosions.

None of which is a good thing, but is still pretty cool.

I'd guess Uzumaki, a horror manga that recently got an anime adaptation. I haven't read it, but it's supposed to be amazing.

It's also not a creepy fact.

My recommendation would be dual-boot until you get everything you need working and have had everything working for a month or two under Linux. Then do a full image backup of the Windows partitions with the Windows backup utility and keep it around just in case. After that spin-up a Windows VM for any edge cases you might come across and enjoy Linux.
