  • Its more than just foreign relations.

    The reason for continuous military, space, energy and other development isn’t just to push the state of the art, and its not just a jobs program. If you stop building things you forget how. You can still build something but it won’t be nearly as good because the people who learned the mistakes the first time around have all retired. Or in this case fired.

    We will have at least a 4 year gap when this is over.

    Switching gears, do you think infrastructure will be funded? Falling 4 more years behind in maintenance isn’t going to do any favors. This includes federally maintained dams and bridges, but also levees for storm protection near the coasts. Trump will throw you some paper towels after the next hurricane, then withdraw funding for FEMA.

    How about the EPA? Are they going to continue to handle superfund sites? No? Well you can expect some real problems from this to bear fruit in a couple of years. Lawsuits against manufacturers doesn’t bring your home value back, or stop the cancers.

    I’m mentioning these things because while people are seeing the damage done by alienating allies, and that is concerning to some, this doesn’t matter to trumps base, who have a particularly America centric viewpoint.

    People need to be aware that the problems he brings aren’t just foreign and that if something doesn’t change soon there will be nothing left of the America they knew.

    I will take away your healthcare.

    I will take away your job.

    I will take away your children.

    I’ll take away your children’s protection from preventable diseases.

    I’ll ruin your children’s education by firing most of the oversight and hiring an unqualified person to run the department of education.

    I’ll cause the things you need to buy to widely fluctuate in price due to tarrifs or the threat of tarrifs.

    I’ll undermine the government so much they can’t get rid of me or my cohorts.

    And also I’ll boil your teeth. That was a fun one too.






  • Anyone who works directly for a Musk company should quietly start looking for another job.

    People in unions should strike right now. People who aren’t in unions should also strike, but I don’t expect miracles.

    This is the biggest asshole boss indicator. There should never be a situation where someone in power “jokes” about firing.

    He needs a very quick financial lesson in not fucking with his employees. One week of work stoppage across every company he owns should do it.





  • It seems to me they did the current balancing for the 3090 because they had to. Cost wasn’t a driving factor when the goal was to push the most power to the card, but they don’t control any aspect of the PSU and can’t be sure how it will deliver power.

    Once they rolled out the 12V HPwr standard they got those sense pins and someone looked at the design and said hey, we can save $$/card by not doing our own power management. It might also, if we’re being nice to nvidia, have been removed because power switching is probably an electrically noisy operation, and a source of heat, so they wanted it to be away from the video card.

    But they left two resistors in there for a tiny bit of redundancy.

    Then someone said hey, this resistor is doing nothing and we need the board space for… Any number of reasons, or they wanted to save a few pennies, and it got axed.


  • You’re strawmanning so hard. “The news I read doesn’t say that.” Is the context you’re missing.

    Of course I’m not an expert and neither are you. What’s your credentials? You’re a war reporter currently in Gaza internet trolling rather than writing an article? Of course not.

    Get the fuck outta here with your holier than thou shit. You’re so sure that I’m wrong and that Trump is somehow helping stop a genocide? When he called for America to take over the Gaza strip and remove all Palestinians? You really think Harris would have done that?

    It doesn’t matter if he’s an idiot and everyone knows he won’t do it… Unless he does. He’s still escalating the crisis.

    What are your plans for the next election? If both democrats and republicans are equally bad then who will you try to elect instead? You only have 4 years to plan this out and come up with a viable candidate, so if you’re not yet working on this I urge you to figure it out.
