I hated broccoli's taste so much when not too many years ago, still it's taste today doesn't really resonate with me, just doesn't taste disgusting anymore.

Beautiful steamed broccoli, nice pat of butter, and if you're feeling adventurous: some grated pecorino Romano sprinkled on top.

I had Pentium G4500, but I wasn't really interested in it's voltage so all I can tell you about it is basic user experience.

I'm talking original Pentium, so Pentium - Pentium D ... The modern pents are just not interesting to me

It's called the damn "PENT"ium because it's the 586 but they stopped at Pentium 4. Imagine making a processor literally called "FIVE", and then only making four generations. Good lord Intel

I don't blame you, the G4500 stuttered when the game pulled on all cores and could barely handle multitasking, leaving browser open vs closed while playing GTA5 single player, was a difference of seeing and not seeing not fully loaded graphics when driving fast

I don't. Fuck 'em. They're garbage. Make a better connector that doesn't need them instead of making a shitty connector that relies on screws.

How about we make a good connector but still relies on screw for nostalgia sake? All about compromise right?

Do you have the fluffiest cat on the planet?

Any particular reason that ship in particular?

My interest in WW2 era warships started since playing Azur Lane. Only visited HMS Belfast so far but will try for more when the chance presents itself.

I just love the fact that it's the least battleship to be commissioned by the US and the fact she's been reactivated and modernized.

To this day I have no idea how they managed to do this.

Lots of bigger companies work their warehouses late into the night. If you catch the right courier pickup within their distribution network it can happen. I've had several <12h non-local deliveries before from similar.

Best delivery speed (distance/time) I had was ordering from UK late on a Friday night to a west coast USA company. It arrived Monday 9am. Must have got just the right flights.

sounds like driving overnight would be it, some drivers drive during the night

I once ordered a PSU from Mindfactory at around 20:00. Their distribution center is in Wilhelmshaven, which is one of the most northern cities in Germany. I on the other hand live near Karlsruhe, which is about 600km away relatively close to the French border. It arrived the next day with DHL at around noon. To this day I have no idea how they managed to do this.

 

Change UPS sign with DHL, and black car color with yellow.

Interesting, so she just shakes a bucket of RAM and they come to her? 

That's how I imagine it.

Btw, I do imagine da na has the same giggly happy tone when inspecting the HW though, just like the vid you linked.

edit: I probably need to hide now, you know... before da na throws a 23kg laptop aimed at my cranium.

Oh you're totally right about that

That's just how it happens. Every morning I set out a plate of fruit for the crows and a plate of jumper caps, CMOS batteries, and solder balls for the computers.

Wording?

Yo it's the Lego Island guy.

See I'm the opposite, I like to see the infrastructure for what it is 

Wind farms are the worst offender IMO

Hey wanna travel to the Windows XP background IRL? Too fuckin bad mate, it's full of big poles

Wanna see the gorgeous coastline in Western Australia? Well, it's already teeming with fans.

Mountain? Sure, put em there too, who gives a damn

I hate to cite Grand Theft Auto V as a source in my argument but... they really did a great job of satirizing wind farms

I'm not anti-clean energy by any means. I just wish there was a way to make these a little less ugly

Honestly, I have found wind turbines beautiful since I was a wee kid

I'm right, you're wrong, clearly you know nothing here.

This goes along with it.
