No, but considering how rarely I use the full power of my CPU, I doubt it would make a big difference. Which means that I could probably halve the TDP of my CPU, but “about the same efficiency as my throttled desktop CPU” is still pretty alright for a server.

Platonically of course. /s

Man it’s gotta be frustrating for people seeking such friendships, every description of what they want sounds like innuendo in text.

Japanese isn’t transliterated with English pronounciation in mind, though.

2.6 Watt per core, that’s pretty efficient. My desktop PC’s CPU uses twice as much.

That’s 2.6 Watt per core, about half of what my desktop PC’s CPU uses. And yeah, that’s not for home users.

But if you ask specifically for strong men, you ask me to be a cunt to everyone else in the room, saying I’m stronger than them, which I don’t even know.

As not a strong man, you’re not being a cunt for grouping yourself into the strong man category. I don’t want to carry heavy boxes, either!

I agree that it’s weird to ask this way, though.

Measuring these uncustomized directly after booting is a pretty flawed metric, especially with something like KDE that has a lot of features that can be enabled or disabled. i.e. many features that are built into KDE might need external programs that are not included in the base install of LXQt or XFCE, and some stuff might get reused when you start opening LibreOffice, Firefox or a text editor (AFAIK this is definitely a thing if you use a lot of KDE/Qt applicatons). The desktop comparisons I saw during KDE 5.x had it at not that much more RAM use than XFCE, and I doubt this changed that much with KDE 6. Maybe something about Wayland, though? e.g. XWayland might eat additional resources. Also, the baseline RAM use seems really high when even XFCE uses 1.4GiB by default.

For the record, I use LXQt, not KDE.

Replicating science is actually pretty important, and there’s no way a “civilized” area has the same beetles in 2025 as in 1820.

Katanas are already single-edged, though.

I buy games, music and books, even if you don’t consider those art themselves there are drawers, painters etc. involved to make cover art, character designs and the like.

Lab meat though. I’m struggling to understand this. Unless the meat industry shuts down most people aren’t going to eat lab meat. And like you said it doesn’t offer a good enough reason to switch for most people. Some people might switch but it will have no impact on the meat supply chain.

There’s a pretty large amount of people who are vaguely uncomfortable with the animal cruelty in the meat and dairy industries but can’t get over themselves to completely change their diet to a plant-based one.

I also expect lab grown meat to be both cheaper and more environmentally friendly once the technology is more advanced and mature. It doesn’t really make sense to compare an immature technology like this to conventional food right now.

Have you ever tried hard tack? Even just researching a couple images and reading how it’s made shows pretty immediately that it’s not that similar to tasty, regular bread.

I’ll bet dimes to dollars that it’s not that hard to turn grass into labmeat-consumable nutrients. Cows use bacteria to digest grass, anyway, and enzymes are usually pretty easy to make in a lab, too.

There’s also no way the growing environment, which seeks to create an artificial “animal”, is energyefficient.

Why not, could you elaborate on this?

Is that short for ‘boilermaker’? That would explain the childhood issues.

That kinda sounds like Starbucks …

A well-made americano tastes great without cream and sugar, too. When Tim Horton makes a bad americano that doesn’t mean that americano is a bad drink, it means that Tim Horton makes a bad product.

Pretty snooty outlook on coffee, especially considering that café au lait, cappuccino etc. exist.

Considering that Finns drink far more coffee than Italians, it might have something to do with living close to the pole. Those dark winters are brutal and the long light in the summer isn’t exactly great for sleep quality, either.

Americano is not (supposed to be) drip coffee, it’s a shot of espresso with added hot water.
