Utilization at a low percentage on your cards is what increases your score. Keeping it below 10% gives you an excellent rating for that card. These card companies make money by skimming pennies off every transaction you make. Sure interest makes money but it makes it at a higher risk, they want low risk consistent income you keeping a low Utilization tells them that according to the risk profile. You can literally open a card never use it and keep it open and your score will go up over time from “on time payments” a higher total credit limit with low Utilization and a longer credit age as that card ages.

They are their own breed of Christian but that doesnt change the fact that religion has its play in global warming. You also have evangelicals who think allowing the world to fall apart will bring the rapture so they can all just go to heaven with their sky daddy. Then you also have the ones who dont think they should be changing anything because its all a part of God’s plan. Relgion has a major play in the warming of the planet to think otherwise is very daft.

So the far right Christian nationalists have nothing to do with global warming?

Copyright doesn’t create incentives for innovation it creates incentives for stagnation. It’s a guaranteed profit window for a static solution. Competition is what breeds innovation as you need to have the best product for its cost to capture market share. As copyright is inherently an anti-competitive practice only there to minimize risk it reduces innovation in favor of stable profits. Just because r&d costs money it doesnt mean that supply chains and production are handed to competitors for free. Its just a tool to minimize risk for venture capital because those who lobbied for it wanted to protect their assets from risk exposure and did so at the expense of consumers and innovation through lobbying. Removing it wouldnt stop people from creating solutions or trying to invent new products. Those who do the r & d always have a leg up as they have the research available to them for tweaking there process or final output that a competitor would not.

This shows the percentage of specific types of data centers but fails to mention how many are in each group, and what the cooling systems used on the most recently built data centers are. Right now AI specialized data centers are what are popping up everywhere with massive scale and that chart specifically shows that most use some form of closed loop cooling? Did your report show specific numbers of those datacenters per category and the energy/heat generated? Otherwise just a base percentage of each type obscurs a lot of context here.

Just adding if you have any resources about how to go about this i would more than appreciate any nuggets you can share. I have a some networking background from college but its been about a decade since I used any of it so any help to point me in the right direction of hardening my network like this would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

Its more that SEO is so well known at this point you can whip up whatever AI generated garabge you want to be ranked high on search engines in seconds. For now the AIs are just better at “wading” through the trash since they somewhat curate the data its training on. Once all they can train it on is slop you better hope you still have some encyclopedias and text books laying around

I wonder if in that mix, would the bleach just break down into its base components of salt, water and oxygen?

This isnt help full

No shit thats why its the lesser of two evils ffs…its about mimizing damage since there is not an option to fix everything all at once. Fixing cultural stigmas takes time and so does dealing with elections cycles to change out who is in office. Creating a power vacuum from a coupe or insurrection just opens the doors for even worse actors to stroll on in. Life is not a fairytale where you can just wish something into being, it takes small incremental steps to achieve lasting progress.

Honestly life probably still sucks for the hyper wealthy. Is it a more comfortable suck, sure, but they just get stuck into other patterns of unattainable goals. While there suffering is most likely self inflicted, i.e they base fulfillment on being the most powerful/wealthy yet never are able to attain it, they still never truly reach what they deem fulfilling lives. The fucked part is their greed and need for power ends up wrecking other life’s who may have sensible goals of fulfillment, like being able to survive without being constantly on edge living pay check to paycheck. Now those goals could be attainable if those at the top weren’t wrecking havoc on the world chasing unattainable fulfillment and making the most basic fulfillment which should be attainable unattainable for the masses, yet here we are.

“Good you” is the perfect response, its just a more personal version of Hi or Hello, no need to over think it. As for the second part if you know the person hows it going can just be a conversation starter, its meant to ask what are you up to, i.e. is there a light topic we can have small talk about that isnt going to be too involved. You can respond with something along the lines of “I’m doing good, such and such happened the other day that was nice, how about you.”

But whatever you do, if you can’t handle being expected to respond to “hey hows it going?” with some variation of “not bad, you?”, for the love of Christ, please don’t willingly seek out employment where a key facet of the job is doing just that, or at the very least if you do, save the blinking and acting like Im inconveniencing you for asking a normal-ass question like “Is this the line to pay?” If you can’t even handle that, that is not at all the fault of the person on the other side of the dialog.

Not everyone has the opportunity to get something that isnt customer facing. Most jobs created today are low wage service positions. People are tired and jaded at a world thats leaving them with a fucked up environment, no social safety nets, dwindling job prospects, increasing costs to live without rising wages, rising authoritarian governments all over the world. I get that those positions should have a bit more tact but I also empathize with those young employees who feel like the world has turned its back on them and so they are just doing the bare minimum to survive. The world is becoming less caring for its inhabitants are you really surprised those growing up in that environment are mirroring the treatment they get from the world back to you?

I meam to be fair maybe they should have to eat the stupidity of buying all the hardware stock out there for their ridiculous push for more and more datacenters, if the cost of current gen consoles kept rising years after launch maybe we could get more people on board with regulating AI and being against the idealogy of streaming everything including pcs and games.

Most indie devs end up using tools like unreal engine as they are not developing engines in house like what used to be the case for AAA studios. Hell even most AAA studios end up using unreal as well now do to how good it can look if you have the best hardware out there with minimal effort. This unfortunately means a lot of games run into console power bottlenecks, hell it even is a problem with PC players, some games even run like shit on 5090s. Considering the current gen was sold as supposedly 4k ready gaming systems this over reliance on unreal for its beautiful but severely unoptimized graphical capabilities means a lot of games run like shit on consoles when people are using them attached to 4k tvs like they had been advertised to work well with.

I will say if they didnt push for a next gen though it would benefit all gamers pc and console alike. It would force the devs for these games to start actually optimizing for the hardware out there and realize they dont need to turn on every bell and whistle in unreal to make a fun game. It would be so nice if games could go back to using reasonable minimum specs. There isnt a need to have photorealistic graphics if only a handful of people can even run your game, the gameplay is much more important as is having a stable framerate. Not to mention games before nannite, ray tracing, etc all looked phenomenal anyways once a little tlc was put into crafting the shaders and textures, if we took a step back from all the excess now we would have games looking amazing and performing great on all variations of hardware.

If having shortcut remaps wasnt useful or it was a legal nightmare, all the big ides would not have the ability to change their shortcut mappings to match other ides in order to make transitions easier for developers. Its a huge win for accessibility to ones software and basically just comes down to putting your shortcut definitions into a config file that can be swapped and allowing others to create maps to be added. I cant imagine that being the biggest hurdle, even if all the devs for gimp did was abstract shortcut definitions to a config file they could then allow others to submit PRs to add additional options for users to choose from.

It really only has roots in money like every other thing these people do. They have insatiable appetite for growth at any means, if that means they use fascism or religion as a tool they will, this however seems to be profit motivated not control motivated when you look at the most likely scenario that benefits all involved. The more people want restrictions on social media to and the like the more social media giants become targets for fines and regulatory action if they dont put in more stict content filters or moderation (which would cause rage baited engagement to drop and lower their profits). These age verification laws shifts responsibility from those companies over to the device manufactures and the cost onto consumers. Manufacturers are ok taking the hit of implementing it at an OS/hardware level because it means new devices need to be sold to become compliant, as hardware climbs in price that means it pushed more people on budgets into cloud pc based options meaning they dont loose money on the money invested in datacenters when the AI bubble bursts. It also means open source alternatives could be regulatorly bared from competing if they need to enact this as most will not wont to from an ethics stand point nor have the funds to create any bespoke hardware to fulfil regulations. In addition since you do have the fascists currently in power they can pretend like the amount of data this will generate from could be actionable to try and gain grants from authoritarian regimes looking for more control on a population, which just means profit margins have increased for all involved as they spend less of their own money. In the end its a way to force move people onto cloud based hardware to support the massive datacenter investments the AI bubble created.

Probably because historically the patriarchy took away women’s rights to be able to choose mates and had years and years of arranged marriages. Then couple that with women being in those forced relationships who could not chose their partners looking for comfort outside of the inhumane treatment of forced marriages and you get societal pressures that taught women they dont get a say in romantic relationships and as such them showing interest had to be covert as it was typically to those outside their prescribed marriage and if caught they could at the very least be socially disowned or at worst be literally killed for it. So yeah im not surprised women have a tendency to be less obvious about it its only very recently in human history that they got to have a say in finding partners.

Anyone have a reliable link for the bios?
