Nowadays 2 seconds is an eternity considering M.2 drive speed and DDR4 bandwidth. Baldur’s Gate 1 for example, nothing is compressed and load times are in single digit milliseconds. Sure BG1 is loading like 1/8th the stuff but load times are 1/300th

There’s actually a program people use for D2R to unpack textures and it cuts load time significantly, but the install and the uncompressed files have a massive footprint

Most games, most textures are compressed, which leads to something like Diablo 2’s remake having ridiculous load times considering it’s a simple reskin of a 20 year old game. That 30GB footprint probably gets unpacked to something twice the size, and if you’re caching literally every single thing for the sake of smoothness (flight sims rarely have loading screens when you enter another country’s airspace or a different biome), and a little bit of overhead for OS etc, gonna need heaps of RAM

It’s called adverse possession and that’s why you discard anything not bolted down ASAP under the presumption of illegal dumping, put up a new fencr with big signs, and claim any structures as yours under the presumption that anyone following code (building legal) would hire surveyors to note boundaries. Do not let any other living human past that fence under any circumstance and if they do so against your will videotape all of it.

Of course whoever built it will take you to court but you argue that they can move their structures because you have every right to your own land for all the aforementioned reasons

Edit: and something like this, random dude trying to be a bigger asshole vs Elon Musk, you’d need to hire an attorney just to field calls from attorneys lining up to work pro bono for the free media coverage, and probably wind up with a PR rep working for free for the same reasons, helping you line up slots on random talk shows, because this would go mega fucking viral

I’d probably wait for them to finish electrical on those structures then hire a contractor to haul out everything not attached to a recycler and use the cash to build a fence with a bunch of no trespassing signs and then wait to be served. Not my fault they didn’t measure property lines as required by law. Walk out of court with free hookups, they can move their stupid structures

I heard they’re drafting a resolution to sheepishly ask the US ‘why the big cars?’

Conspiracy theorists = Trump supporters. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, because the presumption is that any pushback or effort to invalidate is evidence in support of the idea

Dumbass complains that it is allegedly a political move but also wants Presidents to be able to dictate the Fed’s decisions.

Everything that happens that isn’t to his benefit is a conspiracy to make him look bad. Everything that happens to his benefit was hard-earned and well-deserved.

Fucking 80 year old baby wears diapers and people can attest to it. Smells like shit, cries, drools, no impulse control when it comes to random tits, can barely form a coherent sentence. No wonder his cabinet was a revolving door of blood relatives and his wife can’t be bothered to leave NY to visit him. Sad sad guy

But like, if you were running for president and about to speak to a crowd you’d probably low key phone half-pull and google the name and do the glance, right? Like ‘what city am I even in’ type shit, Trump is beyond dumb
