Learning about how they product bin CPUs blew my mind years ago. iirc, the CPUs come off the same manufacturing line--but the ones they sold as 3.2ghz vs 3.4ghz were based on stability tests. It was the same chip, just that some came out th

Vasa was awesome. I also recommend some of the ferry tours out of Stockholm. I spent three weeks in Stockholm and built a four day trip to Odda (Norway) as well, where I flew from Stockholm to Bergen and took a bus/ferry to Odda. Aweso

I'm curious about how much of that is due to the charring that comes from grilling meat, or simply cooking meat to well-done, generating heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It'd be really hard t
