Thanks! It was my first “dream” PC build (I got a 9800 X3D in there too), so this follows a period of great anxiety about making such a huge purchase with all the techtubers saying “do not buy!” even back then. The relief I’m feeling at having made a defensible decision is honestly palpable 😅
Man, I snagged a 7900 XTX for $900 out the door last year and I feel very clever for not waiting to see how the 50 series turned out. I cannot believe there are GPUs on sale for damn near $4k, it’s insanity.
I stand corrected, this speaks to my robot soul
“Polished” is a generous word for it. I think you might be mistaking generic plastic gloss for polish, though. AI writing is so formulaic, it’s like looking at a repeating texture in a video game. It writes lyrics like a five year old, too - very simple, entirely conventional, no creativity. Nothing new.
Imagine being Bobby Kotick and genuinely believing your reputation can be harmed by anyone saying negative things. Actions speak louder than words, Bobby buddy, and we all think you’re an arsehole because of what you’ve done, not because someone told us to.
Here’s how you know it’s not ready: AI hasn’t replaced a single CEO.
I’m sorry to say you’re incorrect. I have family who receive social security cheques, and they will not blame Trump and Musk if the cheques don’t arrive.
I understand, I was in exactly the same position. Then my battery swelled and wouldn’t hold a charge at all, so I couldn’t restore anything anyway, and my last backup was inaccessible (I know I know, test your backups, but like I started this post with I’m in the same boat of all work and no time for me).
Losing everything was remarkably freeing. Just switch all your 2FA to Aegis as has been suggested, and save anything you want to back up over the wire, then take the plunge. You won’t lose everything like I had to, and you won’t regret the switch 😊
antithetical to the spirit of silicon valley
Tell me you haven’t been paying attention without telling me you haven’t been paying attention.
Good thing there’s no more FEMA!
Wait, no that was a terrible mistake.
I believe her. It doesn’t change my extremely negative opinion of her, her positions, or her actions by even a single iota; but I believe her. Until proven otherwise.
Hell yeah, talk about collective action! I’m sure the reports from this thread weren’t the only ones, and it was probably already under review, but every pebble counts in a landslide. Thanks for letting all of us know 😊
Nice, thanks for you contribution! 🙌
edit edit: apparently they took it down because they were concerned he wouldn’t ship, not because they enforce their own guidelines. I’d say “suck a dick, Shopify” but that would give blowjobs a bad name
Edit: The store is gone, good work everyone!
Whaaaaaaaaat the fuck. That is a Shopify store, and their terms of service explicitly state
You can’t breach the social contract of commerce.
There are activities we don’t allow on the platform because they breach the social contract of commerce. This means you can’t call for, or threaten, violence against specific people or groups. And you can’t sell products that facilitate intentional self-harm.

I understand what you’re saying now, and I of course still agree there are lots more questions to be answered. I might have ranged a little far with my examples, but it’s still largely relevant; being found frozen and close to dead would absolutely be cause for a general physical checkup, inside and out, in trying to figure out what the hell happened and what else you might need treatment for. Where you were found wouldn’t really impact that bit, so I don’t think it’s surprising that they checked for internal injuries and I don’t think it’s surprising that the family would take finding such injuries as a sign of malfeasance. Your point about the injuries on her hands and forearms stands unchallenged, by the way - tissue damage could 100% look like contusions or lacerations. If it turns out she has broken bones in her hands, though…
How is that determination made?
The determination is made by the circumstances under which the body is found; I was trying to imply this in my last post. If a body is found with no evidence as to how it got there or why the person in question is a corpse, we don’t just shrug and go about our business.
We are indeed missing a lot of information. I’m not speculating about anything. I’m maintaining my original point that frostbite/hypothermia do not cause internal bleeding on their own, which is patently true, and answering what seem to be questions. I’m not a doctor or a police officer, but I have some baseline knowledge from first aid and forensics courses (my interests are… eclectic, let’s say), so I share when I can.
The hypothesis behind your statement, you mean? Well, you just said your wife fell in frozen water and went hypothermic, and they didn’t check for internal injuries. That’s because they didn’t suspect foul play, and they had no reason to look for internal injuries. But if there’s a possibility of internal injury, medical staff will check for it. A possibility like if someone had in fact died of exposure and murder, instead of dying of only exposure. This is a possibility that must be considered when you just find a body in the snow.
There would be no specification of where the internal injuries came from because nobody has a crystal ball to know. Even if the police investigate, it’s still going to be a “best guess” at what happened based on things like the coroner’s report. Before an investigation it would be actively irresponsible for an official to speculate in public. (Source: reddit detectives thinking they found the Boston bomber)
Blood doesn’t need to clot without ruptured blood vessels letting it out where it’s not supposed to be. In other words, it wouldn’t matter if there weren’t wounds to begin with. As to elevated bleeding risk in surgery, typically surgery involves cutting flesh and the blood vessels therein, hence wounds to be affected by the elevated bleeding risk.
But neither frostbite nor hypothermia cause internal bleeding.
The hospital staff told the family the victim had signs of internal bleeding. That is not caused by frostbite.
WHAT silence? That asshole has been the source of a rising crescendo of bullshit covering an increasingly broad range of topics on which he is absolutely unqualified to comment for years. The miracle would be if he managed to shut the fuck up for several consecutive moments.
