I will not tolerate this vile and odious slander. Ratchet straps are far superior in most applications.

I play this game at least a couple times a week. It's an all-time favorite!

As a youth I went on a backpacking trip. At designated camping spots they had latrines that were open air boxes with a toilet seat on top. They came in three configurations:

  • Solo, one seat
  • Pilot-to-copilot, two seats, side by side
  • Pilot-to-bombardier, two seats, back to back

It is objectively the best rendition. Fight me.

I think it's worth looking into before pointing a finger at any particular OS. If your troubleshooting requires you to install Windows, go for it. My gut feeling is that the memory requires more voltage but that's not based on anything but my own experience. Go through all the troubleshooting steps.

Not too different than on Windows. Stress tests, MemTest86, disable/enable XMP, double check voltage, update your BIOS. Check that your RAM is on the motherboard's qualified vendor list. It might be worth making a separate post about it.

If your memory is not stable you're always going to have weird problems. I would get to the bottom of that first before anything else.

What did the government do to cause that?

Aye. The Nvidia control center was cool when I installed it for my Ti 4600 in 2002 and not much has changed. I'm not particularly fond but the aesthetics of the Radeon software, but it beats the heck out of the semi-useless GeForce experience. I have to make an account just to see if there's a driver update available? I can't even control fan speeds in Windows without third party software?

They're both bad but in comparison Nvidia's offering is garbage.

This is an excellent video by a physicist about crackpots: https://youtu.be/11lPhMSulSU?si=ZGslcTKyp5Wxt1KE

You'd think so. On another completely unrelated note, isn't it unusual that every unarmed minority who gets killed by the police in an egregious enough way to garner public outcry totally deserved it for committing various offences that bear no relation to the killing?

Please explain. My intuition suggests the opposite. The company's office is in San Jose. Presumably they have to pay high local market wages to retain workers. If they could hire remote workers willing to accept Peoria lL market wages they could conceivably get the same value of labor at lower cost.

20 years ago companies didn't demand local workers to staff their call centers to avoid competing with the entire world. They did the opposite, contracting out to the lowest bidders overseas and firing staff in the global north.
