It’s from 2014, or at least that’s the earliest instance I found

Once met a man who said he loved assembly language because it was so much nicer than punch cards and FORTRAN, but C was OK too.

This was last year. In his defense though, he’s been retired for years, used to work as a professor.

1. Is that a real thing or a joke I’m too European to get?

2. Where can I get this if it’s real?

3. Where can I just get Flamin’ Hot Cheetos? Because they don’t sell the damn thing in my country :(

Yours sincerely,

flaming anus enjoyer

I myself recently went from a '19 car with 220k km to a ‘05 one with 460k km because I realized my car’s getting driven so much recently, the depreciation is killing its’ value. For context, in 2022 when I acquired the '19 car, it had 140k on it.

I’ll have to do some wheel bearings, brake pads, belts and pulleys, etc, on the old beater, but all that is way cheaper than the depreciation on a newer car.

To be clear, I don’t advocate most people do this, I already knew beforehand what the engine and transmission are capable of. And if need be, I’ll even do engine repairs or get the transmission refurbished. The ONLY thing I’m afraid of is bodywork because I can’t paint for shit lol

It’s not all Kazakhstan either. I’m in Estonia and half of those “200k km” German cars that get imported here have had their odometer rewinded.

In metadata, no less.

Plenty of countries out there with lower income levels than the US, including much of Europe tbh.

Lots of people BUY their cars with 300k miles.

I thought lava was Icelandic for fertilizer

I’ve done that once. Then I made the mistake of updating past the Android version it came with. Suddenly it was no better than most of the cheap androids I’d owned before that. It was the Oneplus 7 Pro and it just started lagging like hell 2 years in.

I’m now 2 years into my iPhone 13 mini, have also kept up with software updates and it hasn’t slowed down at all.

I’m actually looking at something else for my first bike, but it does have a forum because it seems to have a huge fan base - I’m looking at older Ducati Monsters, particularly the 620.

Nah, the Complex instructions are ridiculously complex and the Reduced ones can still do a lot of stuff.

If it is, I’m going to move to Iceland to grow wheat and bake and sell bread. This software engineering thing suddenly doesn’t seem all that lucrative.

Eh to be fair, that rule is from a time where real girls on the Internet were a lot less common (though obviously they existed) and people still fell for the beautiful Spanish girl scam. And bought “girls” stuff on MMORPGs. And so on.

ARM and RISC-V are entirely different in that neither one is based on the other, but what they have in common is that they’re both RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architectures. RISC is what makes ARM CPUs (in your phone, etc) so efficient and hopefully RISC-V will get there too.

x86 by comparison is Complex Instruction Set Computing, which allows for more performance in some cases, but isn’t as efficient.

You set out a container of water and wait for it to heat to 50C

But to be fair, the evaporation will cool it too much for this to work

Cars too. Lots of marque or model specific forums still kicking it.

Not to mention many of them probably have been you; out of shape, showing up to the gym for the first time.

You also don’t have to be completely PC if you’re funny.

If you’re making fun of marginalized groups and it’s not even funny, that’s when people start complaining imo

If you want to get really strong, you might want protein and creatine supplements to speed up your progress, but even that’s not necessary and they only speed things up a little.

Funny, every primary care provider in my country recommends you take Vitamin D, usually pretty huge amounts

Could be because we get barely any sunshine between like October and February. I’m talking 6 hour days, and even those mostly cloudy.
