Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

I think Jon Stewart would make a great president. I also think he would probably be miserable and I would hate to do that to him.

Kind of feels like our “crossing the Rubicon” moment. Except instead of an intellgent and accomplished general leading an army, we got a clown leading a circus.

Oh, no. They will be hurt the same as everyone else but The Donald will just tell them that it’s the Democrats/immigrants/gay people’s/critical race theory’s fault and they will believe him because having someone else to blame for their problems is a lot easier than fixing their problems.

The Book of Mormon is a wild ride.

I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, “Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that.”

But the executives kept demanding that we add “features” to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.

I guess my point is I’ve seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.

What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I’m beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven’t really thought this through.

It’s called an elephant gun because it’s for shooting elephants. Not because it’s the size of an elephant. There is no way a horses hoof or an elephants trunk will fit in the barrel of a gun thats less than an inch a single freedom unit in diameter.

But you know what will? A finger. You’re just going to want to shove it in their really good because those cartridges pack a punch.

Reddit was never “mainstream social media”. Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.

If that’s true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.

Say old top, that is one fine lookin’ bowl of hot bewilderment you got there.

See?? Bunch of fucking morons.

Someone’s about to get Litt up!

I hear a lot of devs that don’t seem to get this.

No, Why would I spend a week coding something that I can create a pivot table and some charts for in an hour? Especially when if I code it myself, that means I now own and have to support my lovely new utility. Time is money and I’ve got way more important things to do than build custom reporting suites that no one except me is ever going to use.

Lol Google sheets has nowhere near the capabilities of Excel. They’re not even in the same class.

And still the spreadsheet gold standard. Microsoft gets plenty of shit wrong but Excel is one thing they got right.

Walmart is in the process of acquiring Vizio for the express purpose of using TV’s to serve advertisements.

If ISP’s are liable for piracy, so are power utilities.
