True, should be more like exponential growth in perpetuity or something but you get the idea.

Exactly, capitalism is economic perpetual motion, you can’t have exponential growth in a finite system.

Haha I was thinking along similar lines, my R5 1600 is either going to take to it with it’s usual shrug while it rolls up it’s sleeves or just explode, it still punches way above it’s weight so hopefully it won’t explode but she’s getting a bit long in the tooth.

I disagree about the publishing side somewhat, every now and then the publishing team hits a home run. Like I’ve been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo recently which is published by Bethesda and it’s a pretty good game, and let’s not forget Prey which was an awesome game also published by Bethesda.

So tbey do get it right sometimes.

Ye definitely hit or miss, they’ve been excellent for me. I got the 970 EVO last year or the year before and it’s been rock solid, my RAM is also Samsung chips albeit B die so higher bin which probably explains why I’ve never had a single issue with them in 4 odd years.

Samsung, bit more pricey but both my ssd and ram are both Samsung chips and I haven’t had a single problem with either.

E. Seems that further down the thread someone is saying Samsung is having issues too, which is dissapointing as I’ve always trusted Samsung.

If you have the system always running most of the cartage back to the top could be handled by the siphoning effect, like draining a washing machine or siphoning patrol.

You’d need energy to get it started but after that it should keep siphoning as long as there’s liquid to siphon.

corporations being into every piece of the pie: a logical extension of the trend to privatization or “wanting government to be run like a business” is the replacement of nation-states by corporations or zaibatsu-like alliances of multiple corporations

I personally think corporations are going to kill each other off (most likely culminating in a global corpo-war where the last two duke it out) with only one surviving and becoming something akin to the catholic church in the medieval period, plunging the world into a new dark age.

I’ve tried everything to try get rid of google’s voice assistant on my phone, stripped it right back and disabled it and then went into the settings in google and my phone but still every time I turn on my wireless headphones it always pops up. It’s doing my head in, why can’t I stop it!

Comrade Gang has merely come down with a case of outspokenness which unfortunately lead to a terminal case of lead poisoning.
