  • That is not why fahrenheit works the way it does

    You’re entirely right, but it’s fun to trigger people like you with a couple words that ultimately mean nothing.

    You are projecting your own ignorance over billions of people, because you yourself have no idea how it works.

    You mistake ignorance for simply not giving a fuck. I know what Celsius is, I know how it converts, I just don’t care.

    It’s very entertaining to be able to trigger people at will to crawl out of the like bugs and talk shit online, wasting their time on a topic that doesn’t matter in the slightest. It’s usually the Europeans, they seem to have a superiority complex about this specifically for some reason and love typing at length about it. Most other countries outside the EU region don’t bother, probably because it doesn’t matter.

    Also, here’s the obligatory reminder to the Europeans that the US began using metric in 1866 and officially switched to the metric system in 1975, it just wasn’t made mandatory to switch, so most didn’t. Because it doesn’t really matter for daily life which system is used.


  • You do realize the reason fahrenheit is set up that way, is based on the human perception of temperature. 0-100 is the general range or cold to hot. Of course some inhabited areas end up outside that range a bit, because humans are adaptable but generally speaking it allows for far more graduation in every day real world scenarios. Metric is good for science, but not ideal for casual everyday usage of hot and cold.

    Your body doesn’t really care what the boiling point or freezing point of water is. But you should and generally do need to preemptively plan for environments outside the fahrenheit scale.




  • They’re referring to the shifting variance between political sides and the range expressed between them. The Overton Window usually.

    The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse. The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, or shrink or expand. It exemplifies “the slow evolution of societal values and norms”.

    Outside of this window you still have Left and Right, but they’re the more extreme beliefs that the general populace doesn’t currently accept. The window shifting over time means something that would have been considered absolutely insane 20 years ago, could be entirely mainstream now.

    A current example would be federal deployment of the military to handle local protests when there is no declared State of Emergency and local government doesn’t need or want assistance.






  • Similar issues even with just 2 DIMMs with some XMP/EXPO profiles not working on AMD systems because of board/CPU limits. It should technically work, but for whatever reason it just can’t handle it and speeds need to be dropped or the timings loosened a bit even though the RMA itself is rated for that.

    Not that the higher speeds are even necessary for 90% of users outside extreme overclocking. DDR5 6000 is basically where you reach diminishing returns anyway, and that’s often where that limit seems to appear.


  • Yeah AMD’s memory controllers, especially DDR5 seem to have a lot more difficulty at high speed with 4 slots filled. I used to plan upgrades around populating 2 slots and doubling if needed a few years later, instead now you really need to plan to ignore those slots if you are needing memory performance for things like gaming versus raw capacity.


  • Dug into it, got into Memtest’s source code and discovered that the first pass is shorter on purpose so that it quickly flags obviously bad RAM. Apparently if you want to detect less obvious issues, you have to run multiple passes.

    I thought it was common knowledge that Memtest needed to be run for multiple passes to truly verify there are no issues. Seems that’s one of those things that stopped being passed down in the community over the years. Back when I was first learning about overclocking around 2005 that was emphasized HEAVILY, with the recommendation to run it at least overnight, and a minimum of 10 passes.

    Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.

    It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.
