I’m OOTL. Why are people upset with Torvalds?

I mean, free usually implies a shittier version, no? So it could very well just be incomplete.

Nobody says there will be a complete big Mac at the end of the week

Funnily enough I heard mechanic friends say that EVs need the brake rotors replaced more often than combustion cars, because the EVs use the brakes so infrequently that the rotor just rusts so badly it needs replacing.

I’m dreading the day my bad mouth hygiene will catch up to me… I know how bad it is but I still can’t get myself to brush every night.

That’s still super low cost compared to all the regular repairs a combustion engine needs, especially when you consider that combustion cars also need tire replacements, just a bit less often

In German there’s an insult: “Sitzpinkler”. It means “someone who sits down when peeing”. Never heard anyone use it seriously though.

That’s kinda beautiful

Why didn’t you keep in touch, sounds like a fun person

You’re looking at the wrong numbers. Most people won’t notice the difference in transfer speeds for large files. Most people will notice boot and loading times, where the results are diminishing.

Let’s take a theoretical system that has an HDD and boots in around 30 seconds.

It gets upgraded with an SSD. According to your numbers, the Boot time would be better by a factor of around 3 or maybe 4, making the Boot only take around 10 seconds. That’s a difference of 20 seconds, clearly noticeable.

Now it gets upgraded to an nvme drive. The speed increases by an even greater factor of around 7 or so, but you barely notice that because the PC only boots 7 seconds or so faster, much less noticeable than the 20 second difference before, despite the drives being blazing fast in comparison.

I’m not saying nvmes are worthless or anything. Just that in day to day use for most people its not as noticeable as the HDD to SSD upgrade.

They are able to reuse the rockets

They are essentially doing the good side of capitalism - making stuff cheaper

I mean yeah, it’s cheaper due to technological advancement, but I fail to see how that’s an effect of capitalism. I’d argue similar developments would have been made even without capitalism. I just don’t think we would have the desire to leave this place without capitalism, but that’s besides the point.

But the jump from SATA SSD to nvme is much less noticeable than the one from HDD to SATA SSD

Gatekeeping in the open source community is kinda ironic

Cooking doesn’t usually go much higher than 200 - 250C (400 - 500F). Cigarettes (and I assume joints similarly) reach 900C (1650F) when puffing. I’m not sure at which point aluminum produces fumes, but I dont think the cooking argument holds up.

Ice had the experience that toothpicks break too easily to clean my grinder, especially what’s in the little gap between the lid and the outside of the grinding chamber if that makes sense. But glad it works for you!

I also removed my kief tray once I started earning enough to never really run out lol

But I’d rather have steel than aluminum in my weed. Aluminum oxide fumes are carcinogenic when inhaled, so I’d rather avoid it.

I realize worrying about cancer when talking about smoking is ironic, but still.

Ive never bathed by grinder in isopropyl in 6+ years and it still grinds like new every time I clean it with my pocket knife. But I did get a steel grinder to make sure I can scrape all I want without getting aluminum in my weed

she had taken about 12 sample bites from a package of toilet paper. She stopped doing that.

I have to keep my bathroom door closed because mine loves to tear up toilet paper rolls lol

Mostly, yeah
