The longest commute I’ve ever had was two days, but that was while doing offshore rotation, so I’m not sure if it counts.

The longest I’ve had for a “normal” job was 11 minutes and 16 seconds. I know it that accurately because I usually started this one particular song as soon as I got into my car, and it finished when I pulled into the parking lot at work. Dream Theater- Stream of Consciousness.

What is this sexy thing?

By “launch”, you mean its release date, right? I paid for early access years before that.

Same. I have a general rule that I don’t pre-order. I also tend to wait for reviews to come in. This is because I’ve been burned in the past. I made exceptions to this for CP2077 and KSP2, and we all know how those went.

So what used to be more like general guidelines for myself have now become strict rules.

But Factorio has earned an exception. They’ve proven time and time again that the game is a product of passion and not (primarily, at least) profits. This has been clearly visible since I first bought it during early access in 2016 or thereabouts.

So its expansion will be instabuy for me. The game has simply given me so many hours of entertainment that one could argue that if anything, at least I will now have paid full price for the game I already have (I don’t remember what I paid for Factorio, but it was dirt cheap).

“Look, 4chan is here!”

I’m just having a hard time imagining how I would have contracted such a fracture. Plus the pain is more muscular.

Full tank of gas

Same. I get the shits after my 3rd cup in the morning if I haven’t eaten anything.

I only remember the rough outline:
Dual Xeon gold of some sort. The CPUs were upgraded in 2021, so whatever was reasonably top shelf around that time would be a good bet.
256GB RAM
Intel X710 Dual SFP+ 10gig net
Mellanox ConnectX (5, I think, not sure) 100gig net
Some high end NVIDIA card. I don’t remember which, but it replaced a Quadro P5000.
Broadcom 3108 with cache battery
36x Exos 10TB 3.5" SAS drives
2x SSD of some type I do not remember
2x NVMe, don’t remember those either.
Supermicro X11 mainboard.
Supermicro 5U chassis with drive bays in both back and front

Some bits were upgraded, such as network, cpu, ram, and GPU. It’d be substantially less today, but the original setup is from 2017, and I remember seeing an invoice of ~180.000 USD equivalent each. My house is 150.000 USD equivalent.

Each cluster involves four or six of these machines in a modified shipping container along with some other hardware, working as a mobile data cruncher.

Not good.

I have this awful pain in my neck that doesn’t seem to go away. I first noticed it a week ago, and thought I must’ve slept in a shitty position, but it has since only gotten worse. Due to holidays I was unable to get a doctors appointment until next week.

Sure, I have a shitty seating position when on my PC, but I’ve had that for 25 years without a problem. Nothing changed last week, so I have no idea what’s causing this.

In the meantime, paracetamol helps.

I grew up on the coast, and my parents always had this rule to never eat/cook/serve shellfish that weren’t fished (shellfished?) same day or yesterday.

Bloodletting actually has its uses. It’s rare, but a valid treatment. It’s called phlebotomy now, but it’s essentially the same thing.

I don’t remember exactly what the condition was, but I remember my grandfather went through it. Something to do with too much iron.

EDIT:
According to chatgpt, the condition is called hemochromatosis. It matches my grandfather’s description of having high levels of ferritin.

Well, when you walk through the garden, you better watch your back…

Question from a curious mountainmonkey: We have the same phrases and abbreviations up here, and is Danish equally as subject to people abusing “I forhold til” when they actually mean “I forbindelse med” or “med tanke på” ?

Bezoz took him on holiday, probably

Serbia - Destiny Potato. Prog metal, and their album “Lun” is among my favorites of all time. They changed name to Sordid Pink and released another pretty cool album.

David Maxim Micic is the guitarist, and he has a pretty great solo discography on his own.

Handling geophysical data. Very demanding in terms of processing, network and storage, so they’re built accordingly.

When it’s still somewhat reasonable “too much”, as opposed to flooding the entire engine block with oil, the worst case scenario is that the piston rings get damaged, resulting in small amounts of oil making its way into the combustion chamber and gets burned off. Long term effects of this is that the engine consumes a little bit of oil.

In your case, I think you’ll be fine. It’s so little over, that I wouldn’t worry about it. You might see the engine burn off some oil and eventually stabilize on a more healthy level. Check the dip stick or whatever it’s called in English regularly, and see if it decreases (slowly) to the correct level.
Not decreasing: It’s fine
Decreasing and stabilizing: Best case scenario
Decreasing and doesn’t stabilize (not likely): Damaged piston rings. Slightly reduced engine performance, and your car has an mpg for oil now. Otherwise it’s fine. It’s worth noting that damaged piston rings is common in old cars, and it may have been like this from before.

Source: I am no expert, so take what I say with a bucket of salt. I did experience the last scenario myself about 15 years ago. I still drive it with no long term effects.

Nope, each.
