The small windows thing is real here in Aus as well, we lived in a new build for a while 4 years or so back, that was built like a fortress. Small, high windows in the main rooms and some of the bedrooms, so you couldn't see out, so th

When it comes to the UK, I think this diagnosis that people lost trust that new buildings would beautify rather than uglify their towns and cities, is definitely a strong part of the picture. But the story is wider than this because even wh

In general I'd rather they fester away in secret, with the knowledge that if they were to air their views publicly they would be considered shameful. In places like 4chan they are given cover by "ironic" racists, who I don&#x

They did, IIRC back in the late 00s they were also paying IBM to port software to HP-UX on Itanium, because I remember I was given a machine to play with and was asked to produce builds of some components. From what I remember the only dram

The problem with "ironic" racism in places like 4chan is that it gives cover to, and breeds, very real open racism. "What if someone actually said that?" very quickly turns into people actually saying that. Arguably they

Who says that avoiding Chinese tomato paste doesn’t accomplish anything? It funnels money to other brands and keeps them going rather than rewarding forced labour and driving other forms of production out of the market. That in itself is a

Just as I am sure that not a single penny of my purchase of Tales of the Cthulu Mythos went to HP Lovecraft. But knowing about the artist can still inform views about the art.

I do love the Ian Knot, and I taught myself to do it for a while. Alas I stopped wearing lace-up shoes for some years and when I went back to them the muscle-memory for the standard knot was strong, so I just stuck with it.

I think the desire to not have to be accountable for ones choices and their effect on the world is also childlike, personally. One of the powers we have in this capitalist world is to decide where our money goes. If there's a decent ch

I don't, especially when the artist flows into the art. Take H.P. Lovecraft. Very big name in supernatural horror, created Great Cthulu and various other tropes that survive and are influential to today. Famously misogynistic and racis

The thing that most annoys me in Java in that area is when a dependency throws an unchecked error that wasn’t even documented. Thanks so much for that! Now I have no choice but to be reactive when something fails…

The toxic wellness thing is real. It’s always there in the subtext of a lot of alt-med and the sort of pure-eating wellness stuff, that if it doesn’t work then you’re just not trying hard enough and your mindset is wrong. Still got cancer?

Depends on the price, surely? A 2080Ti is approximately on a level with a 5060Ti (from a quick search), though obvs does not support the newer DLSS features etc. So to get a good upgrade you’re looking at a 5070 or better. If this gives you
