It sounds like he bought complete sets.

That's the song I'd get docking my iPod in my stereo like 15 years ago. Strong memories.

First time I've seen := used for equality and not assignment.

The thing is that Duke3d ran fast/sounded just fine even on a slow Pentium with a basic sound blaster. GUS was very useful in the 486 era, but it sounds like it was actually better to not use it with a faster computer in this case.

I can understand taking his word for it, but I don't personally believe that. How could someone in 1979 not have heard of Agent Orange? It would have been all over the news: https://www.nytimes.com/1978/12/19/archives/vietnam-veterans... and the Vietnam war was still fresh in everyone's mind. Maybe he was embarrassed by the edgy name, which is basically a reference to an American war crime, in later years? idk.

The giants are quite often credited by name, or have their work cited.

Where I live, there are no school zones, but instead playground zones that are in effect from 7:30am to 9:00pm. Now, I might go 60 km/h in a 50 zone depending on the road, but I will always go exactly the limit in playground zones (30 km/h). The fine for speeding in those is so much worse.

I would say the majority do the same, for probably the same reason.

The combination of "maxed-out" and "starts" is kind of confusing, but I found the machine you're talking about - M5 Ultra with the 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU, 96 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD.

It has 6x the RAM, 2x the memory bandwidth and looks like it totally outclasses the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. I did some searching and it looks like a close comparison would be the older M3 Ultra Mac Studio, although again, with a lot less RAM.

Tofu isn't fermented. (Stinky tofu, natto and soy sauce are, though.)

Seems like a pre-Brexit example for Britain.

Yes, when a powerful man like a medieval king, who can make or break anyone around him, says something like that, people do his bidding.

I don't see how that applies to some rando on kiwi farms, or you, or me for that matter.

Kiwi farms allows/encourages mockery of these people, and collection of everything they've ever said/done online (which some might consider doxxing), but notably, they do not allow planning harassment. Maybe people read KF and coordinate with others to swat lolcows, but that coordination does not happen on KF.

If you've ever wondered why KF is still around, that's a big part of it. They're also completely compliant with US law.
