I'm trying the brine-thaw with my bird this year. HEB sells a nice brining bag that perfectly lines a 5gal drink cooler. Bird is in the brine, and it's crept down from 39 to 36F over the last hour. Really interested to see where the temp is in the morning and if I'll need to add a scoop or two of ice to stay below 40

IMO there's real value in going for the Nvidia card for gaming, DLSS is best in class and having access to CUDA is very nice if you have any sort of engineering computation that you're doing. The intel cards are a fantastic value, but they are trailing on driver support and dx11 performance. Vulkan has really closed that gap, but there's still some significant outliers

They've actually come down quite a bit from their peak a year ago. A 5070TI is like $600, down from $950ish, and you can get a 5060 for $250ish and be set for 1080p gaming

Man what are you talking about? Separating costs and revenues to different balance sheets is totally generally accepted accounting practices -
It's fascinating to see the bifuraction in knowledge about this story. MSS is basically quoting the extremely reputable NY Post and TimesofIsrael and using that story to broad brush attack basically anyone who's been anti-colonialism. I came to this news story from the framing of "holy shit nearly half of the big MAGA twitter influencers are in eastern Europe and Africa and Asia", and immediately thought of the shithousery by Pronghorn here in DT. The bigger story is that this is yet more evidence of concerted outside efforts to stoke division and manufacture both consenst and dissent. It's REALLY important to keep that in mind as we all traverse each other's spheres of manufactured reality and disparate information sources but never let a good chance go by to continue to hamfistedly paint with a broad brush and miss the bigger picture

Lol if we really wanna talk about that news story, I think the Daily Texan board is gonna have some issues with all the details that it entails

IMO they're more cribbing from Warhammer 40K iconography. During trumps first run they were calling him the "god-emporer" and making memes of him in golden armor like in the game art.

The thing is, if you ask neutral questions it gives reasonably useful and measured answers. If you have a coocoo for cocoa puffs framing and question, it leans into that and reflects it back to you. It's like a dog barking at a mirror, and it's driving the qanon crowd even more insane by validating and repeating their nonsense back to them

update to this, all the charges from this event have been dismissed with prejudice, following DOJ (the prosecution) submitting a motion for dismissal https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-drops-charges-2-people-accused-ramming-vehicles/story?id=127714651 -

ICE doesn't give a single fuck, and is eager to flex their thuggery https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/providence/ri-judge-intervenes-after-ice-mistakenly-detains-superior-court-intern/ Multiple sources told Target 12 that Rhode Island sheriffs earlier noticed someone taking photos of the intern inside the courthouse and in Superior Court Judge McBurney’s courtroom. When approached, the individual identified himself as an ICE agent and was told to abide by standard courthouse rules, and to stop taking pictures. The intern was reportedly shaken, so McBurney offered to drive him home. ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply. Dana Smith, Head of Security Operations for R.I. Superior Court, confronted the agents and told both the judge and the intern to stay inside the car. After an argument, ICE confirmed they had misidentified the teen and left. The intern was released once his ID was checked. “This egregious incident underscores both the community’s and the Judiciary’s concerns about how ICE is conducting its operations in Rhode Island,” R.I. Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul A. Suttell said. -
