I don't like it. They leach off our gravity.

"These freeloader comets need to be deported back to their home star! This is Sparta! I mean Solar System! Other stars are not sending their best comets; these comets have mental, have virus, catastrophe our grammar, flatten dogs and cats, and nobody wants them! If you think the Dino's had it bad! At least Dino's gave us gasoline, God's Liquid Gold [sniff].

They are poisoning the ions and isotopic ratios of our system, damaging our prosperous pro-Solar culture! Even Jupiter wants to leave now! We cannot even tell the gender of these degenerate lumps, so sad. I and I alone have the power and means to stop this horrendous invasion of these unwanted shit-hole clumps of useless dust and smelly gas. Make the Solar System Great Again! [claps]

Pat Gelsinger tried to preserve as much of Intel as possible, even asking people to come out of retirement. Well, now the regular Wall Street managers have arrived to wring Intel out of the last drops of money.

Intel did it much worse than AMD, and about the same as IBM in terms of vulnerability and performance impact of mitigation.

Core 2 was pretty decent, that's fair. But by the time the i7 came around AMD was kicking their ass at everything but single thread. Even though I am a gamer that's never been the only thing I cared about, and I've also always been cheap, so to have AMD provide dramatically more ops per buck and have very competitive processors which were outright faster in many situations has had me an AMD customer solidly since Athlon. AMD never was able to keep up with Intel's process technology, but by the time that ceased to be a thing, all Intel had left was inertia and skullduggery.

My last non-netbook Intel-based system that I bought with my own money (I had an Elitebook with a Core 2 Duo for a moment) was a P2 400 because AMD has kicked Intel right in the goodies in the market segments I care about since right around then. Only Hammer has even been slightly disappointing since Athlon, and it was still an absolute value for money champ.

It turns out there's still no evidence that he was ever shot.

That fine is a stupid fucking joke amount. It's not even enough to make Google flinch.

"This isn't a meaningful measure of anything.
Naval wars are not won with tonnage."

They are won largely with numbers, but you ignored that part.

Anyway wars between superpowers are going to be won with drones in the future (as they are shaping up to be already) and nobody has more manufacturing than China.

There is no such thing as "the Ukraine" which is a Russian propaganda term, just Ukraine. But I guess you already knew that, Ivan.

They had good design too, though the last really good design was the 80486. After that it was a bunch of pumping watts for performance, until they got to compromising security for performance.

Solar plus battery is cheaper than a new coal plant.

Again, why don't you know any actual facts?

Sorry you only know about trolling. Maybe you could branch out and learn some other things, possibly through personal experience. Maybe your mom will let you out of her basement if you ask nicely.

It's real obvious from the public statements, unless the truth is even more cynical.

... transparency solved!

History teachers can get arrested in FL for pointing out LGBTQ+ people exist.

'Murican English is best, everyone says so, believe me!

That's why they need to keep the birthrates up.

The same people claiming birth-dearth doom are booting out established families. They are morons, bigots, or both.
