When we're stereotyping massive swaths of the population with crying meme faces, I think IQ is more than enough to get the idea across.

The fact that One Trillion is as easy to say as One Million is a travesty. It's great for coming to terms with astronomic scales, but it really hampers the average person in understanding just how much wealth a single plane of people hold.

This is my favorite attempt to show just how much wealth they're actually talking about. It's a bit biased towards phones, and it dates itself a bit, but it certainly makes an impression.

Also from Yeshua we get Josh. And Christ is a title meaning Christened or Anointed (often with oil). Thus Oily Josh, my favorite light-hearted nickname for that brown guy.

That's a pretty good beginner project. More characters, more stages, and more gimmiks leaves plenty of room grow, but still something to be proud of early.

Plasma lets you pin any window to be always on top (short of fullscreen apps), and you can set up rules to automatically set that behavior for any pip window.

The original idea was taking a walk before a meal, so maybe if you were a really fast walker...

Apollo 1 says hi.

I wouldn't say a normal CPU is inefficient at graphics or cryptography, rather that a specialized GPU is particularly efficient at those tasks.

We only consider a CPU slow at these tasks because of how much faster a GPU is with them, but we never see how much worse a GPU is at general conputation tasks, because of how stupendously bad it is.

As soon as operations need to share info, the GPU speed advantage is gone. Branching paths bog a GPU down with redundant execution. Latency is quite poor too. And exceptions & interrupts are basically impossible at the system level. Trying to run normal programs on the GPU would be a disaster.

And adding more fuel to a fire make it burn hotter and faster. Largers stars die faster, so more fuel will reduce the lifespan.

Well, I'm being cheeky with the phrasing here. When I say I'm breathing manually, I mean I'm much more in tune with my autonomic breathing than most people seem to be. I am very aware of my autonomic breathing, and silde in and out of actively controlling it easier than talking.

Some people seem to experience autonomic breathing like an automatic transmission, and sometimes they shift into manual mode. My breathing feels more like an electric bike, where I can pedal along, rest my legs, or take over without changing anything. A car suddenly shifted into manual gear is more disruptive and complex to deal with than a bike battery being turned off. I was pedaling already!

I don't mind onions when they're used as a real ingredient. French onion soup, stir-fry, onion rings, all good. Onions also make decent filler in soup and curry, but I think the only soup I've had without onion is cheese & broccoli. Every ground meat I've seen uses onions as filler, so every burger, nearly every taco, most sausages, every lasagna, every spring roll, all have that onion taste.

If leeks were used like this, I'd probably hate them too.

Manually, unfortunately. I'm not a morning person.
