In large scale computing, a server will have VERY powerful hardware. You can run multiple VMs on that one machine, giving a slice of that power to each VM so that it basically ends up with multiple individual computers running on one very powerful set of hardware instead of building a ton of individual.

Have you tried a sensory deprivation tank? Sounds right up your alley.

Very possibly. In iOS 17 there have been large amounts of structure put in place to allow for turning specific features off and on relative to the location.

This looks amazing! I haven’t heard about it until now but I’m 100% checking it out. Reminds me of Wildstar and that’s a very very good thing!

No Man’s Sky. The main story will make you feel insignificant in the universe.

The fall off on ram performance vs cost is to the point where it’s not worth spending extra money. That kit picked out will be good.

You actually have a very solid pc picked out. I’d say the other details needed would be what quality you want to play the games at. You’re likely good with the 6700 xt if you don’t want to max every game and get the 165hz to match the monitor. If you’re not trying to push the envelope while on a budget, I’d feel very good with that part list.

“Rule of thumb” I quit using this one after learning that it referred to a rule where you could legally beat your wife with a switch no wider than your thumb.

“Getting gyped” Learned this one is about associating gypsies with getting screwed over, so people started saying they got gyped because something bad happened.

Stuff I thought was completely innocuous but turns out has really bad connotations, so I dropped them.

I bought the Tushy. It’s nothing crazy fancy, but works amazingly. It’s one piece that you install between the water line and the tank of the toilet. Very quick install. For new users, I’d suggest keeping the water pressure low (the little knob you turn to activate it) that way you’re not getting water up your butt when you’re not expecting it. It’s a weird sensation at first, but you quickly get used to it. Now I swear by having a bidet.

The problem isn’t with the user base. It’s with Meta and their business practices. People very simply do not trust Meta or Facebook and with good reason.
