Hello you fine Internet folks, for today we have a video and an article for y’all.Unlike our prior Granite Rapids coverage where we just had a video, we have had hands-on with Turin, specifically the AMD EPYC 9575F, thanks to Jordan from StorageReview. This article is going to be a little different from our usual. It’s going to be shorter than usual because we have already covered the Zen 5 …

Saw the aurora last night, for the first time ever. I don’t know what I expected. I waited until the sun was good and set and then I poked my head out the back door just shy of the motion sensor on my neighbour’s flood light. There was a pale haze in the sky, like a long thin cloud. Off to the west, the sky was noticeably pinkish. To the …

I don't want to rattle on at length about this, so I'll cut to the review and then drop in my rhetorical questions, accompanied by a personal anecdote. Mercedes-Benz is a car manufacturer. Want a luxury car of German origin? Mercedes is an option. It wouldn't be my choice, but I can see why people like them. Most are stylish, fast, comfortable, and undeniably a status symbol, at least in …

With this being a vertical shooter by Compile, you might be tempted to think that it's just a fantasy-skinned Aleste game (Though to be honest, that wouldn't really be a negative). But while there's some slight similarities to the Aleste series (there's a few different weapons to try out, and you gradually power up your shots by collecting multiple little P items), it's got enough stuff of its own to …

In this post from 2009, I compared the number of peak hour trains at Glen Huntly (then one of my usual stations) in 1997 vs 2009. I thought it would be worth revisiting and updating, especially since the station has been rebuilt and the crossing removed. More trains? Here’s morning peak: 19977:137:247:347:497:588:068:208:258:378:5220097:117:207:317:477:568:058:21 8:368:5220247:067:167:267:357:447:538:038:128:218:298:398:498:55 So from 7am-9am, four more trains than the late-1990s; a 44% increase, with a more even frequency. …

Part VI of my ponderings on all the things and wayfinding in academia. This is the last part of this series - at least for now. I don't know. I think it's time to move from retrospection to some kind of next phase 🤓Anyway, I saved the most controversial topic for last hahaha 😂OK, so before I get the rotten tomatoes🍅🪰, hear me out!😅 I am a big proponent of …

Andréa Morris canvasses Nobelist Adam Riess, who's contributed so much to our understanding of the expanding universe and dark energy, and Harvard and The Galileo Project's Avi Loeb, who's been popularly touted as a "Nobel Laureate-in-Waiting," on our headline's important topic. Centering the discussion is the "unicorn" case of theoretical biologist Stuart Kauffman, whose wacky-sounding theory about how matter could become living was shunned by Science In General. Kauffman's speculation …

After taking a long break from working on belief systems(and writing a book in the meantime), I think it’s time to get back to belief system. The problem that got me stuck was how to define the term ‘Belief Systems’. The concept is not new(the oldest usage I could find goes all the way back to Plato and his...

Big in Holland........wasn't there a band called that?Whatever, either way The Executive Slacks were.......Big In Holland.A fact this live in Europe Cassette demonstrates nicely as all of the Dates on this tour seemed to be in The Netherlands....except a couple,which were in Gay Paris,and the inevitable appearance in Belgium where every band sounded like this with all that Belgian New Beat stuff and EBM.As listed in the insert notes,as if …

In 2018, I first visited this grove of Reed avocados. The trees had been planted ten feet apart. In avocado-world parlance, they call that “high density” planting. Traditional tree spacing is more like twenty feet apart. But then the farmer further added a tree in between each tree to make the spacing only five feet […] The post Reed avocado high-density grove appeared first on Greg Alder's Yard Posts: Southern …

jamisonwieser:Caltrain is the commuter rail line on the San Francisco – started full electric service last month.This is a huge deal because it cuts the travel time between San Francisco and San José (the 17th and 13th largest cities in the US by population) by 25%.A local train making all stops went from 100 to 75 minutes, limited stops trains to a little over an hour and peak hour express …

It is with great excitement and a little bit of sadness that we announce the final DCR Cave Open House in Amsterdam, Netherlands (we’re sure this time). So if you’ve put off coming to the event, you’ve now been served notice to get your behind in gear and get signed up for this final event! With the event right around the corner, we have lots to do, but first, we …
