Yeah the retaliation was brutal.

Just in time for my new nvme drive so I can fully segregate windows and Linux after that mf broke my install again

It's usually a constant (or several ones with varying degrees of accuracy and size)

Yeah my boomer dad (materials scientist in the civilian nuclear sector) disagrees. He's been working from home (and from vacations sometimes...) at least a few days a week for quite a while now, and his old boss was apparently saying that they were going to need to hire 3 people to replace him when he eventually retires.

FWIW I also know some elder millennials who are against it, but I've seen how they run their business and let's just say I wouldn't take advice from them.

I loved enter the matrix. It was lowkey more fun with the cheats though

Not anymore. All knives are now banned in public because apparently we are toddlers. Or they think that terrorists won't find any way to hurt people now. Because surely legality is where any knife murderer draws the line...

Edit : I think laguioles and swiss army knives are still ok since they have no blade lock. But apparently there is now zero legal difference between my extrema ratio knife (which is admittedly really blurring the line between EDC and "tactical" knife) and an Opinel.

All I can find is that the costs followed inflation as expected. And, yeah there were some delays but getting full sovereignty over the construction of your military submarines at the end of the contract is kind of a fucking amazing deal (because that was the end goal there, the transfer of technologies, including state of the art, silent non-nuclear propulsion and various other top secret shit, so Australia could ultimately build their own subs "with total sovereignty", according to the deal). I see zero mention of the terms of the contract changing after its signing apart from that.

And if you think that's bad I've got some news for you about the delays and costs of that AUKUS thing...

Edit : Also I doubt the next prime minister would have paid us $555 millions for breaking the contract if we were in the wrong here ?

Edit 2 : while researching the edit above, I found out that the AUKUS subs are nuclear powered ?? When a big part of the original deal was that Australia wanted non nuclear subs (All the ones we have in France are nuclear powered, so surely it would have been a lot easier to make one). Nah I'm sorry, you played yourselves and now you're mad at us somehow ?

Maybe it's just like a memory foam mattress after a while

Yes. I don't have kids though. Also I work in games so I can persuade myself that I'm doing market research or whatever

It follows. Go for a little roadtrip, ez 3 billions.

Isn't that the subs that France would have already delivered years ago for a fraction of the price, had Australia not cancelled the contract to order American subs that everyone told them would be late and over budget ?

They also granted the head of Unit 731 immunity (specifically from the USSR who rightly wanted him executed) in exchange for the human experimentation data.

"Experimentation" data that was entirely useless, if I remember correctly.

As far as I know they can all act as a bootleg external wifi adapter though (via USB sharing)

It's all fun and games until the bears show up

Take the 9950X3D, your kid should thank you. It fares much better in games that are poorly optimized and should otherwise be just as good if not better than the Intel one.

C++ is home sick, currently the doctor (compiler) is not sure whether it's got the flu or a terminal cancer.

Yeah first though when I looked at this was "wait isn't this literally the sex couch ?"

I'm having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it's worth the 2h attempt. For the power fantasy part : get good at polearms and riding, get yourself a glaive, optionally download the mod that allows you to hit several enemies with a single swing and mow down lines of infantry with each charge.

Also, blizzard bad but Diablo is fun

So is that watch gottem

My phone is more accurate
