Nice to see news from Thailand that isn’t about their shitty royals.

I run Linux on an old gaming PC that I use as a file server / jellyfin server / homeassistant / probably a bunch more I’m forgetting, and that one rarely goes above 50W, lol. Haven’t tested it under full load, though.

That’s because, considering the bosses you have to fight, every character is weighted down by their enormous balls.

Can’t speak for the most modern ones which I know are worse, but I was pretty surprised when I recently got a smart plug with power monitoring recently to find that my system with a 3080 (though, undervolted slightly), 16-core cpu, way too many peripherals, eight various drives, several small screens and dual monitors, only pulls 600-650W under full load.

I got the plugs to help me choose an appropriate UPS, and I don’t need one as powerful as I’d thought I would.

Boiled?! I’m not made of money.

When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

Yeah, but most of the lactose intolerant people I know constantly forget to take them, lol.

I have never met a lactose intolerant person that didnt, upon mentioning it when they inevitably buy something full of lactose, look me dead in the eye and confirm their terrible intolerance before going into a frightening lactose-consuming frenzy that chilled me to my very core.

They know the price they must pay. They laugh at death and spit in the face of genetics. A grim, dangerous people, the lactose intolerant.

I was going to make a comment about the 1998 battlezone game, but I looked it up and it’s actually soviet moonbases, which makes more sense, really.

Yeah, I just set up a catch-all and use individual emails for everything, like the gmail + trick but without sites rejecting + characters occasionally.

Of course, I have several domains and one is a .rodeo that some older sites refuse to believe is a TLD so there’s that problem…

No wonder it took so long, must’ve been a nightmare to get every different app neutral, what with their differing weights.
