So not a full Marvin, from pulp fiction?

The cake was, indeed, a lie.

It’s not like I’m manually clearing things out of the ram. And before the power outage last weekend I had an up-time over 2 months.

Is there a way to have the OS utilize more?

I also have 64, but I’ve seen up to 34 in use a couple times. I could have stayed with 48gb, but the timings/cas latency was much better on the 64gb kit, than running mismatched sizes across 4 slots

Yep, I feel ya. It’s so unfortunate that the required membership is what provides the benefits that allowed them to beat Craigslist.

I always assumed it was Addison’s disease like JFK

Well marketplace basically killed Craig’s list, so that’s one reason.

That seam right down the middle doesn’t look like it would be comfortable

I’m guessing 40cm x40cm based on the measurements on the small plate

This just gave me an idea for a new movie rental service. You’ll never own anything. If we can get homing pigeons to learn movies, we could cut delivery costs

Yep, obviously a government funded drone if it only has 2Mb uplink

Or take laps around the city going 5mph below the limit and grind everything to a halt

How about “fully staffed, fully functional nuclear reactors”? All the staff could come in handy for rebuilding like everything

Last I heard 4chan-ers were referring to the owner as “Jap-moot”

The new GPU also has the same 100w tdp as the last one

• It is lighter and cheaper, as you can use thinner materials. This is because pointy is a stronger shape than flat.
• It gives more interior space.

If you’re using lighter cheaper materials you’ll need all the added interior space for roof trusses, none of it will be livable space.

• It allows more sunlight to reach the street.

No, for the same amount of occupiable space the shorter flat roof blocks less light than a standard 10:12 or 12:12 roof

• It has a smaller area-to-volume-ratio through which heat can escape.

The greater surface area of a pitched roof means this is absolutely not true. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg.

• Solar panels get a higher efficiency.

This one actually depends on latitude, equatorialy it’s better flat. And don’t forget that the minimum summer angle is limited by the pitched roof.

• If a city has the same height restrictions for flat roofed buildings as for pointy roofed buildings, and the architect is too lazy to go to the city council to explain to them that that doesn’t make sense, the architect can design a building with more volume by making the roof flat.

No it makes perfect sense. It goes back to your comment on letting sunlight through to the street. The maximum height is the maximum height so everyone gets the same amount of light.

In other words: the only reason any architect would design a building with a flat roof is because they are either lazy or they have no idea what they are doing. this guy thinks their habitat is the only kind over the whole planet and can’t imagine people living in areas where snow load wouldn’t need to be considered.

Any easy ways to emigrate, for someone with low to no professional skills?

Back of the napkin math:

Largest solar sail (much lighter than panels, but doesn’t produce electricity) 2000 sq meters

200w/sq meter

400kwp

Also iirc the space solar farms plans I’ve seen call for re radiating the energy back via microwaves to dedicated receiving towers on the ground

Similar to how EU efficiency labels show power draw in W as kWh per 1000h of use

That sounds nice for appliances that run intermittently like refrigerators

That’s true, they do take up more space. That’s the trade-off. Sacrificing compactness for the sake of safety. There are fewer conflict points and they remove the chance of getting t-boned. Collisions in a roundabout are less deadly.
