I learned to drive in high school, but never bothered getting a license until after I graduated college and got a job, so maybe 22? I’ve commuted via train for over 20 years now though, rarely drive.

The articles claim no pump or fan.

The developed cooling solution is based on a passive two-phase thermosiphon principle. A coolant evaporates at the hot surface of the computer chip, absorbing heat before the vapor rises due to density differences. The vapor then condenses elsewhere in the system, releasing heat, and returns as liquid through gravity. Because this process occurs passively, no pumps are required, resulting in no additional energy consumption for heat removal.

The key component in the system is an evaporator, which was developed and manufactured using additive manufacturing. By 3D printing the evaporator in aluminum as a single integrated component, the design eliminates assembly points and reduces the risk of leaks, improving overall reliability. The single-material design also simplifies recycling at the end of the component’s lifecycle.

Though the comment about condensing elsewhere and releasing heat seems like a place I’d expect to see fans in a setup like this, not that I’m any kind of expert.

I thought “explosive diarrhea” was hyperbole, but damn.

Stupid, sexy uranium.

The libs will be owned, damn the consequences!

Medicare doesn’t really cover assisted living afaik, though Medicaid can cover parts of it. Old folks who run out of money can often become “dual eligible” for both programs. A quick search suggests that almost two thirds of people in long term care are reliant on Medicaid.

Hm, I thought 68 was the speed of sex.

Have you tried starching corn? Takes forever!

Fun thought experiment that I’m going to over analyze.

Near me iron seems to go for ~$180/ton at scrap yards. If we call the average pan weight 8lbs, that’s about 4k tons so scrap value on the lot is ~$720k. The question would be how likely you could sell these not as scrap and net beat the $280k spread. The scrap value per pan would be ~$0.72, so if you can sell each pan for more than a dollar you’d theoretically come out ahead, but to make it worth while you’d probably want to target $10 or more because processing, storing, and moving that many pans isn’t going to be free. Budget new pans go for $20-30, used can be lower or higher than that depending on quality and condition.

tl;dr: Depends on the condition and quality of the pans and it sounds like a lot of work but I’d say the optionality is skewed towards taking the pans if you were willing and able to put the time in to make it a business/job for yourself.

Personally I don’t have the time and I’m doing well financially, I’d take the money.

Reading through a bit it sounds like it works on Linux, not on Windows. Folks are hypothesizing it’s disabled at the ACPI level because different drivers don’t help.

Does inflation count?

In a less polarized and post truth world you’d probably be right. I fear however that the solid 36-37% maga base will never find an issue that can’t be spun or rationalized. In the magasphere this situation seems to be framed as the GOP stepping up to fight against free health care for illegal immigrants which seems divorced from reality.

Hm, but what if we just haven’t tarrifed hard enough yet?

Exactly, just needs a little motivation.

When asked for comment about the lawsuit, a USDA spokesperson responded with a statement: “We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. Continue to hold out for the Far-Left wing of the party or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive timely WIC and SNAP allotments.”

This seems like a perfectly normal thing for an ostensibly non-partisan federal agency to say. I mean I get that it is increasingly normal these days but fuck this timeline.

Wow, that’s so intuitive and user friendly! /s
