I hope broader international recognition of Palestine helps spur more recognition of Kurdistan.

That shit should be illegal.
Moderna has their combined vaccine currently in clinical trials.
We put Kalashnikov on Sergey’s rowboat, Ukraine cowers before invincible Russian engineering!
That and it’s impossible say whether or not a given tool or object will never be used to do harm if wielded by the wrong entity.
Like, say you’re someone who makes free bricks. Someone uses the brick to build a house, great, that’s what it’s made for. Someone uses that brick to shatter a cop’s windshield, even better.
But someone can also use that brick to smash in the windows of a school, or even that the house built with the bricks you made is being lived in by a bad person.
No one makes bricks thinking “this could be a weapon, I am responsible for the harm it causes” because its primary purpose as building material is self-evident. It therefore has no inherent morality outside of what people you can’t control choose to do with what they have. All the brick maker wants to do is make the best bricks they can.
Agreed. The only redeeming thing I can give the writers credit for is that they gave him an amazing family life. Even though he is the office punching bag, he is much more fulfilled outside of work than any other character is. That, and he also does love his job.

I don’t mind questions being somewhat focused or topical. But the ones I don’t like are “Here is my long-winded opinion on x, what do you think?” or “Here’s a random article or other thing I found on the internet, thoughts?”
If it’s a post asking opinions on a recent event, that’s one thing. But I think the soapboxing should be limited. There’s more that a post should need to actually qualify as a discussion-fueling question than just the fact they ended a sentence with a question mark somewhere in their post.
Thoughts?
So is God powerless to stop people from committing evil?
I don’t know, why do Japanese schools have culture festivals? Is it not enough to say that some countries have different cultural norms and traditions?
You’ve basically touched on one of the core logical issues at play in Abrahamic religions (and others). God is omnipotent and omniscient, or people have free will. It can’t be both.
It’s like asking why people smoke.
Is it bad for you? Yes.
Is it a burden on society? Yes.
Is it addictive and does it make you feel good? For some, yes.
Hard to compete when the government heavily subsidizes the local industry while simultaneously making it very difficult for foreign companies to operate.
I love Wingspan as a board game to play with friends. Not sure how well that really translates to a digital medium like a game console, but I like the calming aesthetics it seems to have.
Intel has finally updated us on its search for the cause of game crashes on Intel CPUs, including the Core i9 14900K. According to the chip maker, a bunch of motherboard BIOS updates will be coming soon to fix one contributing factor, but the company says it’s still yet to identify the “root cause” of the game crashes on Intel CPUs.
The extreme multi-threaded power and high clock speed of the Core i9 14900K makes it one of the company’s best gaming CPU options right now, but there have been many reports of game crashes on Intel CPUs in games based on the Unreal engine recently. This latest announcement from Intel isn’t timely either, as the company originally promised to make a statement about the situation in May 2024.
Let’s start with what Intel does now know, which is that there is indeed a bug in its Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB) algorithm. The statement, posted by Intel communications manager Thomas Hannaford, says that Intel has already developed a patch to fix the eTVB problem, and that it’s currently talking with motherboard makers with a view to getting BIOS (firmware) updates out before 19 July, 2024.
Intel also says that the default settings for LGA1700 motherboards should stick to a limited set of parameters when it comes to power limits and thermal regulation so that CPUs aren’t overheating. Motherboard makers have already been issuing BIOS updates to conform to Intel’s default baseline settings, but Intel has also specified the following settings for several CPUs, from the Core i5 13600K to the Core i9 14900KS.
However, bear in mind that these settings are conservative compared to the loose default power settings applied to these motherboards when they were first released, and they’re highly likely to result in a drop in performance as a result.
Intel recommended motherboard settings
These are the recommended Intel default motherboard settings for stability: Core i5 13600K/KF and 14600K/KF Core i5 13700K/KF and 14700K/KF Core i5 13900K/KF and 14900K/KF Core i5 13900KS and 14600KS
Disappointingly, though, as we recently reported, Intel still doesn’t know the root cause of the stability problems gamers are encountering, and specifically states that “while this eTVB bug is potentially contributing to instability, it is not the root cause of the instability issue.”
Intel also hasn’t provided a timescale for resolving the problem, simply saying that it will “continue working towards a conclusion to the investigation.” The company admitted that this “investigation is not an easy one to conduct and we’re grateful for both the support of our partners in conducting the analysis as well as the patience of the Intel community.”
Intel is expected to release its new Arrow Lake desktop CPUs before the end of this year, but in the meantime, its 14th-generation Raptor Lake CPUs are its best options for gaming. If you’re thinking of buying a new gaming CPU right now, we recommend picking up the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead, as it’s faster than the 14900K in most of our game tests, and it’s much cheaper too.
I as of this very minute just got the alert that it was back up (and yes, it did also ask you to not call in to check)
Right as a big heat wave kicks off, too.
When I saw the message come up on my phone, all I could think was how glad I was to not be whoever is responsible for the outage, because people are likely going to die from this and I’d never want that on my conscience.
Why is this in AskLemmy? Where’s the question?
The right for a business to operate is not protected by the first amendment, though.
I could use that argument to stop the government from closing/dismantling any physical space because I might use their walls to express my first amendment rights. But the argument just doesn’t hold up.
