I have made the joke real with my own post

That’s not an analog calculator!

Honestly if they didn’t stand up for us, but weren’t promoting candidates that are actively trying to throw us under the bus, that would be a good start.

It is very funny to see Xbox rushing to get rid of any motte to their business model in a bizarre attempt to compete with steam.

That’s like the Yankees trying to woo Redsox fans.

What is needed to generate the results varies from person to person depending on their fitness level, but the point is that, rucking reduces the rate of injury, particularly for people only have practical access to a hard surfaced environment for cardio.

A pack heavy enough for a fast walk to generate a sustained elevated heart rate, over a flat side walk, will create far less impact than a heel striking run on the same side walk.

Not as hard on the joints as heel striking on concrete in a run.

You can get good cardio at slow speeds, by carrying a heavy load (like a backpack full of rocks) to increase the effort and get heart rate up. This is sometimes desired by people who want to avoid the high impact on joints of running on hard surfaces.

But that man ain’t got no backpack full of rocks on him.

plug in external storage, like a flash drive.

There is nothing fundamentally different about what goes on, bare metal, on a GPU, it’s just built to run certain kinds of operations much more efficiently, a lot more small operations in parallel. But you can have CPU run the same processes, it’ll just take much longer. Hell, with effort you can get a GPU to do what a CPU does. Would it take some seriously complex porting and weird black magic fuckery? Yah. would it be a massively inefficient, slow and difficult way to do it? Without a fucking doubt. Memory and storage are a non issue so long as you can get a signal out and attach a external storage medium, it’ll just slow things down, but with enough time and power…

it is possible
