I got one better. I had a marketing professor who just told stories about how Norway was different from the US.

I took detailed notes because we couldn't have laptops out and I had nothing better to do.

Exactly two sentences from all of her lectures applied to the exams. If she didn't take attendance there would have been no point in going to class.

It already is. DDR4 doubled in price.

But your senses are electrical impulses, which would be digital.

When everything is broken they really don't appreciate you producing the denied purchase request that explained that this exact scenario would happen without it.

Happened once to me when our bank of UPS batteries, of which every single one had failed, surprisingly didn't keep our servers running.

Then C-suite ordered us to run the servers off of generator power, bypassing the UPS, and we got a bunch of magic smoke.

Luckily we documented everything.

I don't disagree. My music preference was shaped by my cousin marrying a Mormon and giving me several CD spindles of rock music he wasn't allowed to listen to anymore.

Although that was more of an expansion of my repertoire because I was already into nu metal as a kid.

The biggest issue is heat dissapation. A satellite that relays a signal requires orders of magnitude less compute power than an AI datacenter.

Huh? NM is well within the growing zone for tomatos. You can even grow them in 5gal hardware store buckets.

I was about to say. Everyone I've ever known who grew tomatoes always had significantly more than they could personally use.

My mom fills an upright freezer with salsa and tomato sauce from like 5 plants each year.

It can be a bad thing if you rely solely on it.

But it's really not any different than finding new music on the radio.
