What I think is kinda weird is that both the iPhone 13 and the 14" M1 MacBook Pro has kind of the same sound signature -- full range but kind of "hollow" or "wooden" or "nutty" sound IDK how to explain it

3DFX did not dethrone any CGI giants though. The PC did, but at the time it was by getting an Evans & Sutherland or similarly novel 3D accelerator for like $3000 and a copy of Maya or 3DS Max for like $1500 Which had enough power to det

Added: Smokers can reduce their nicotine intake by 50%!!!! Just by mixing the tobacco with weed. Smokers regularly light a cigarette every hour on average. With Cannabis, that might just reduce that to once every few hours!

Well of course second-hand bong smoke is not going to be safe if you as a non-smoker sit in a hotbox environment lol Just like the second-hand smoke debates twenty-thirty years ago

Yeah I'll continue to use Linode for the foreseeable future. Although they're kind of expensive, the support is top notch. A year ago I was between jobs and broke, and asked for my upcoming $65 bill to be delayed until the month a
