I read this whole shitty article and nowhere is there a convincing argument that mayonnaise consumption is even down. So I decided to double check the work of the journalist (quite necessary in this age) and discovered it up year over year.

The author of this piece just lied to us all.

It is exceedingly apparent from the article's tone and prose that it's satire.

I took a quick look and wouldn't say it's exceedingly apparent.

Maybe I shouldn't press the point too hard, but the Millenials are Killing X[1] snowclone was already popular by 2016. That plus phrases like "Good ol' Mayo is the Taylor Swift of condiments", "some kind of deviant", etc. are a pretty big giveaway, at least IMO.

I got bored a few paragraphs in and nothing in that made me even suspect that it may be satire. The prose is the "poor imitation of the New Yorker" style that is very common in long boring and entirely serious articles.

This is behind a paywall. Do you have a summary or a free link?

Just use "reader" mode and you'll be good

At our current rate it’s only slightly over 100% inflation for the next year. Really it’s no big deal.

Are you assuming that the “October measure” of 6.2% is a per-month figure (meaning 12 of them would be +106% compounded [1.062^12-1])?

That’s not how it works. The 6.2% is an annualized figure.

(If the one year outlook were for inflation to be >100% in the US, people would be flipping out; BTC would be $200K+; markets would sell off 40+%; Treasuries would be selling at a yield well over 75%)

It’s month over month actually.

> It’s month over month actually.

No, it’s not.

First paragraph:

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.9 percent in October on a seasonally adjusted basis after rising 0.4 percent in September, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 6.2 percent before seasonal adjustment.

Luckily Tor is set to keep the same guard relay basically forever so attacks are much easier.

I believe the guard nodes get changed periodically but remain the same for weeks unless you clear the state.

If you use bridges they take the place of a guard node and you will want to share otherwise it’s easy for an observer to associate inputs and outputs.

Using a vpn to connect to a bridge can provide some additional protection of your origin IP even if your bridge/guard mode is discovered.

It works great on my Thinkpad. I run it on the metal.

Interesting, but I think parent was asking how to run it on silicon.

now i'm confused.

"On metal" would refer to running the OS without any additional layers like virtualization, in this context.

But it could also refer to the material "metal" (or the collection name for bunch of materials really), whereas computers are commonly known for being made with a lot of silicon instead of metal.

Hopefully I didn't dissect too much of the frog to kill it.

Oh please do this for my t42!

So I'm not the only one still holding on to a stack of those - now on number 2 of 3. Great (1600x1200) screen, great keyboard, sturdy, it even lasts a few hours on the battery - not bad for an almost 16 year old machine. Yes, a new mainboard would be good, I've been toying with the idea of stuffing one of the more performant SBCs in there (almost anything will outperform the 1.8GHz single-core Pentium-M in those things) but have not yet found one which can drive the screen.

I can get 8 solid hours of battery on my t42p with tlp and the schedutil governor. I also have a script that unloads the modules for certain hardware I might not be using that often. This is with one of those new Chinese batteries.

Absolutely beautiful machine. I am pretty sure it’s the greatest laptop ever built.

Same. The 16:10 we have with macs and the new xps are nice, but what I would give for a 4:3 ratio display on a modern monitor.

Great tear down but I’m more of a TDA1541 man myself.

New vehicles are already totally loaded with spyware and telemetry. Everybody bent over without a thought, they will for this, too.

Time to buy another classic Toyota I guess.

GM is a strategic resource, so this only makes sense. I’m a little shocked they didn’t have second sources for their chips here in the US already.

This is a terrible idea.

Yikes, Pidgin was nothing like this in my experience. Rock solid for months at a time. Maybe you pushed the wrong button? What are the details of the platform you were trying to run it on?
