we don't make ssds anymore. we're closing down the ram factory. your gpu costs $5k and it can independently decide if it outputs what you ask it to. psus are made of native bee larva. your cpu will overheat without a constant supply of cooling spinal fluid.

At the risk of being too aspirational, a government committed to setting incentives that creates a distributed energy sector like Australia is building absolutely makes enormous sense for NZ to me -

I’m guessing there’s going to be a lot of wild speculation, so please remember:
![[BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK]
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

The thing about The Shining is that although it is all about semiotics and I dunno, consumerism and madness and all that other shit that Kubrick was into, the thing I always think when watching it is that it's a film about family violence, and the Overlook Hotel is a metaphor for the relationship
