  • Should I redo my bathroom plumbing?

    Jump

  • Internet searches that have turned up a multitude of other thirty year plumbing veterans scorning CPVC. I'm genuinely interested if you have reasons you like CPVC over the other options.

  • I see where both of you guys are coming from for sure, but I just wanna make sure I'm covering my bases. If there's anything there that looks like it's on its last legs, I wanna get that taken care of while the wall is still open. Some of that blue/green corrosion around the joints looks scary to me, but I don't have much (any 😅) experience with copper plumbing, so I can't say for sure.

  • Lol I think you're in a very select crowd of people that advocates for CPVC. I hadn't considered it because it was pretty regularly recommended against in all the research I've done so far

  • It's usually because of all the other bloat running on Windows. Just various background processes on Windows will eat up like 10G of RAM just idling, where most desktop Linux distros I've used will use 2-5G idling. Having a few extra gigs of RAM available can make a noticeable difference.

    I feel like system calls in the Linux kernel are just more efficient/faster than system calls in Windows. Windows system calls have decades worth of compatibility layers all cobbled together for business reasons, whereas I don't think the Linux kernel suffers from that same problem.

    And that's not even mentioning the multiple layers of absolute voodoo black magic wizardry that is Vulkan (Linux graphics API) and DXVK (a translation later that translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls). Those are some absolutely incredible pieces of software, and deserve a ton of the credit as well.

    I don't really think Linux is faster because it just injects noops sometimes though lol. You'd definitely be able to notice if part of the graphics pipeline was just... skipping enough steps to make a noticeable performance difference lol

  • To be fair, those bullet points are pretty standard security best practices that any software company should be following.

    But like, at the same time, even if AI companies were doing those best practices, I still wouldn't let their products loose on production systems.

  • Can you tell us what you think the intention of those outfits are

  • Role models

    Jump

  • Alright, but let's say they do have the proper experiences for it. Surely the gender of the teacher doesn't affect what subjects they can teach about, if they truly are qualified in that subject, right?

  • Role models

    Jump

  • Your two paragraphs are diametrically opposed, and your second one is basically agreeing with the overall sentiment of the person you replied to - the percieved gender of the activity or role model doesn't matter, it's about the love and support shown for the child.

  • You think those services aren't just funneling prompts into the ChatGPT image generator? Lol

    Jump

  • Yeah maybe. This one is still pretty sussy to me though. The press conference 30 minutes later where they're all laughing and chumming it up, showing absolutely no fear or any semblance of distress, coupled with the very unified messaging about how this latest attempt makes the White House ballroom all the more important. I don't actually think this is some elaborate plot to win back the public's favor or even anything sinister, like an attempt at justifying martial law. I think it's very obvious what this was, because they told us directly. I think this is them trying to get that ballroom lawsuit dismissed so that Trump can continue his personal bunker project. Not because he thinks he needs a bunker mind you - because all the other billionaires have one, Trump is too cheap to pay for his own, and he can have this one built on the taxpayers' dime.

  • I'm in favor of AI being developed further as long as there is economic interest in it

    Yeah fuck the planet, children, women, students, teachers, artists, and the myriad of other people currently actively harmed by AI, won't someone think of the economy?

  • Mkay but food isn't a utility, and neither are cigarettes/cigars/vapes/etc, so I don't really understand what you're getting at here

  • Where's your line between "keeping the government out of your personal choices" vs. "regulations that keep us safe"? Like, I'm sure you're ok with regulations that keep poisons like lead, arsenic, etc. out of consumable goods, right?

    I kinda agree with the other commenter that said all drugs should be legalized, but also, I've had close personal experiences with how addictive and harmful nicotine is, so I can also understand why it would be the target of bans.
