Apparently there are stupid questions

Oh, I’m sorry. Lol.

Hyper-V is just so bad. Decided to run it for a while as a test, I couldn’t get back to ESXi fast enough, haha. And I come from the Enterprise world where Hyper-V is common.

My ESXi box draws 20 watts at idle with 3 Windows VMs and 3 Linux VMs.

Guess which of those VMs draws the most power (hint: it’s not Windows).

Power draw depends on more than the base OS, what it does matters so much more. Which is why my one Linux VM draws the most power - it gets used for some intense tasks with ffmpeg.

Interestingly. I’ve found little power draw difference using ffmpeg on Windows or Linux. Both will max CPU while converting and take a similar amount of time.

I think (based on our understanding of the line between the quantum world and thr macro world), time travel is just fantasy.

While mathematically time is reversible for sub-atomic particles (quanta), that breaks down as you gather more particles together.

But it’s been a while since I’ve read deeply on it.

Would work better with creek or river

Try Goo Gone (not Goof Off - that’s really strong, and while it would probably work, it can remove coatings too.

Goo Gone is really impressive stuff, just don’t get the spray as it leaves too much in the air and it’s kind of potent.

Fold up a small portion of paper towel, dampen it with Goo Gone and gently wet the ink, letting it do its work. Wait a minute then gently rub. You may have to do it a couple times, but I’ve had it remove sharpie that’s been on plastic for 5 years.

The dictionary definition shows that today it’s only ever used pejoratively:

a person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.

I have never once heard it used as a descriptor, as that’s not how it’s used today.

Ah, yes “trigger you” yet more sophistry. You’re not here for a discussion, but to win an argument.

Prude today is only ever used pejoratively.

a person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.

Note excessively.

Don’t be disingenuous and you’ll have better discussions.

I get what you’re saying, there’s an enigmatic quality about his characters, but watch some of his older movies then watch him as Austin Power’s father - he can play different, he’s just played a similar character a lot.

Potatoes are an odd duck in the carb world.

I’ve read some research about how they don’t metabolize the way you’d think for being the carb they are.

If I can find it I’ll drop a link, it’s been a few years since I read it.

That said, I don’t care - you can take my breakfast potatoes, my mashed potatoes, my roasted potatoes, from my cold, dead, clawed hand. 🤣

So does a $3 paint pen.

Hahahahaha, well done

Wow, 3.7 on IMDB. Hahaha

Fine dammit, I upvote.

Just look at piracy in the 17th and 18th century, and set that in space.

It would require space travel to be commonplace, with FTL - so basically impossible.

I do some shady stuff to my own gear, but holy cow they sold it like this??

That’s not what I said at all.

Every time I go read studies, these useless “mores” really are meaningless, to the point of being deceptive.

Tell you what, go do a deep dive on Blood Pressure medication efficacy - turns out they don’t really do what they claim. And then dig into the safety - also turns out they cause as much harm as good.

Example: it takes medicating 33 people for 5 years to prevent a single cardiac event. That’s sixty thousand doses of a medication that carries a non-trivial risk of kidney failure (about 0.8 kidney failures in that same time frame).

Not exactly a convincing result.

Yep, I used to be that way (I’m hypoglycemic, meaning blood sugar is stable then drops very suddenly, so I’m not hungry and then I’m starving).

I found just getting into a morning routine of making breakfast helps - but not immediately after getting up. Water, then coffee - takes me about an hour to be ready for food. So I just get up earlier.

It’s that or be starving later, which isn’t going to work for me.

Figuring out what works for you is key.
