I found if the pot makes solid contact with the electric elements the electric can actually heat up water faster than gas. But if the bottom of your pan isn't flat or the element is warped, they are really, really, really slow.

My experience has been with gas (fast), electric resistive with exposed and warped elements (slow), electric resistive with a glass top (fastest).

Yep, but not necessarily even that much. Releasing the server software as a compiled binary would fit the bill as well.

I pack up full hard drive images from time to time (think 100GB+ files). More threads is always welcome!

How I read this: 'This legislation would make putting lead sweetener in wine very difficult'

It's not acceptable for the Houthi to continue to attack civilians.

followed by (unless you’ve been very very careful) a total lack of anything productive for 95% of any of those people to do for the forseeable future

It amazes me these game companies putting out game after game don't simply reassign these people to a future game. These are your seasoned veterans, they know how to do their job. Laying them off and picking up newbies just sets you up for a rocky future.

Had a look at Offbrand Games' games and none of them have recent review bombs. I really have no clue what PirateSoftware is talking about.

I'm not surprised he was pushed out for fear of such review bombs, but I'm not seeing any evidence of them actually existing as he alleges.

FTA: The ~~standard~~ income deduction has been increased for seniors such that 90% will have their Social Security income completely covered by the deduction, meaning they won't pay taxes on that income.

Edit: Crossed out a word.

Smaller studios have been consistently putting out good games as of late anyway. Indy and AA studios have the freedom to make fun things instead of having to check every box on a spreadsheet.

Linux isn’t stable enough to do production work

Linux runs most of the world's servers. It's pretty damn stable. One of the reasons it is generally chosen over Windows for servers is specifically because of its stability.

I'm not telling you to use it, mostly just this concept of instability is off.

According to Steam: in the last 3 years there has been 150% growth in Linux users

Steam deck.

The Steam deck is less than 10% of Steam's linux installs. It identifies as Arch, and that category also includes Arch, which is a popular distro in general. The 150% growth in Linux users is certainly helped by the Steam Deck, but it isn't the primary growth driver. People are simply using Linux more and more as Linux continues to improve and Windows backslides.

From Steam's hardware survey:

you can safely use Windows 10 PCs connected to the internet for the next decade.

Do not, absolutely do not, hook an OS that is no longer receiving security updates to the internet. Out-of-date machines can get pwned simply by being on a network or loading a website's ad, no user interaction required. Vulnerabilities are discovered, never patched, and thereafter every script kiddy can get into the old machines with little effort.
