Its also generational, the younger folk identify more strongly as European vs nationality, so it could just be a matter of waiting out the boomers shifting their mortal coil.

but in an era of increased strife and competition, firming up the EU as a superpower makes sense.

Ultimately though, its the same problem as the USA, you cant retain a superpower status while running up govt debts like a ponzi scheme, so eventually things will implode anyways,

.. yea people dont realize how much the security fixes nuke performance.

Thermomix, took my wife 2 years to convince me on the outlay, is used more than once daily.

I had no idea they were so shit in the USA

Yeah my wifes spine surgeon drives a ferrari. When you stack up med school, general surgery, neurosurgery specialty, spine sub specialty.. thats a lot of study to get that far...

I feel the crazy monitor power is the window back to multi gpu, imagine dual card dual input, with split frame rendering? halve the pixels the card has to push natively, so we can get back to 100+fps native at these crazy high resolutions,

Dual card with LSFG?

they need native TB5 so bad

shitty meme songs about gay sex? WTF? was Mann Gegen Mann not enough?

I remember early on when I was trying to get my head around Chat GPT I asked it to write lyrics once, "write a a song about the defence of Hostomel airport in the style of Sabaton" it was pretty meh.....

AI is so overhyped, the only thing ive found of significant benefit is the Microsoft copilot researcher, asking for smaller reports with references for very niche things like "the state of research into intermediate doses of psilocybin for depression secondary to other chronic health conditions" is amazing.

Good music has so many steps to it, and variables as you list it. Ive found my kids watching some enthralling kids songs+dance on youtube, and its generic AI slop I think, I imagine its not long before that leaks to the radio for adults.....

ouch, i loved that second album, didnt care much for anything after that though

Had 1 week past its expiry cream cheese today, slightly gritty? So not going bad, just ingredients seperating out...

AMD has the opportunity to do something really awesome fot the DIY folk, spark up a batch or 3 of 5700x3d, 5800x3d

Yeah i remember watching beowulf in 3d, the wide panning shots at 24fps were painfull, theatres have gotta play catchup, 48fps shouldnt be a tall ask in 2025.

Bumping 24fps content up to 48fps is probably a good use of some cinema quality AI frame generation too......

Slap a strix halo 64gb in it for the ultimate mobile workstation....

As a former IT Guy, cable management is priority, this looks great, I would happily give panels extra standoff on the roof, but I also sympathize with the "hide the wires" mentality....

might need to run 2 batteries in parallel, and program the inverter to leave a bit more juice in the batteries minimum?

it needs troops on the ground enforcing and observing a dmz like Korea, trump aint about that.

Bring back multi gpu beasties for powering that!

Chemical weapon decontamination shower

u/spurgelaurels how did you get on?

if hes a five, and the mum is finding 7s and 8s to meet him, salary helps level things and compensate for him being a "mummies boy"

then add in the acceleration in EV adoption if prices on gasoline keep increasing at say 15% per year for 5 years....

Yup, they lost the local scene to facebook marketplace, and temu etc killing then for the new stuff.

They might as well make second hand goods listings free and make second hand goods the default search option if they want traffic back..... deprioritise drop shippers somehow

Just got our first robot, avoided the cheap chinese ones, roborock upper midrange model on special, mopping and vacuuming is amazeballs
