It's because since 1995, it's not delivery, it's Digiorno.

I bought this nvme SSD enclosure to rescue some data from a family member’s lovely laptop. It came with this grey pad, do I stick this on the SSD or what?

Pretty sure that gray pad is the NVME equivalent of thermal paste, i.e. it transfers heat from the drive to the heatsink. I don't know why they supply the pad without also supplying a heat sink, though.

Goon Boots posted:Can a device connected through USB actually use the NVME architecture in a computer? Uses USB3.2 over USB-C. I was getting close to the 10Gb/s theoretical max of USB3.2 but you're right, that's like half the NVMe rated speeds. Still almost twice as fast as an M.2 SATA drive in this enclosure, apparently. I don't know how they do both protocols in the same enclosure and I don't have any M.2 SATAs to test. The Thunderbolt enclosures could do it but they're also $$$. TooMuchAbstraction posted:Pretty sure that gray pad is the NVME equivalent of thermal paste, i.e. it transfers heat from the drive to the heatsink. I don't know why they supply the pad without also supplying a heat sink, though. I bet this would improve heat conductivity through the enclosure. I'll just leave it off because I want to be able to put other drives in this thing too.

Oh I see. I always assumed NVME had something to do with PCI-E channels so it needed a motherboard connection, but I see NVME is just the protocol being used, so it can work with other connections like USB.

Thirteen Orphans posted:Are hops a relaxant and if so do they continue to be so in the absence of alcohol? According to webMD, yes, but not backed by science. Like a lot of natural products, there are people who claim that taking it will help with anxiety, sleeplessness and similar issues. You can probably find hops in pill form with some searching, but they probably come with the standard "These claims are not endorsed by the FDA, it won't kill you but it will probably do nothing" disclaimer on a lot of herbal supplements.

Keep in mind that not only are allergies a thing, but not everyone reacts to plants the same way. Most of my friends find jasmine flowers soothing. It gives me headaches. A better known example of this is how people react differently to cilantro.

The taste goes from good to bad the moment my brain makes a connection. I've never had this experience with anything but cilantro. edit: Actually, there is a similar thing that some friends and I experience. There's a Mexican restaurant that whenever we go to, we approach from the back, and from about half a block away until you get to the restaurant, it smells like just garbage. It smells like hot garbage in the back, sweating and festering in the sun. We're coming from the back, where the garbage is put, so we kind of assume that it is just hot garbage... But there's a moment, about the time you're just behind the restaurant, the smell doesn't exactly "change" but it goes from smelling like "hot festering garbage" to smelling like "delicious Mexican food" but to us, it seems to be the same exact smell. Only one makes us want to walk away from the place and the other makes us want to talk toward it. credburn fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Aug 5, 2022 |

Human noses aren't amazing like a lot of other mammals since our eyes are so amazing, we tend to focus on a single smell usually because we didn't really need much more than that for most of our evolutionary journey as homo sapiens. The cilantro thing is funny because there's a specific identified gene that makes cilantro taste like soap for you, but the part that a lot of people miss is that some people like the taste of soap. Look up Thrills Gum if you haven't seen it before, it's disgusting.

There's a game you can play with flavoured jellybeans where someone picks a known flavour and gives it to you to eat with your eyes closed. It's crazy how far off your guesses will be/how much looking at the jellybean primes you for the taste. Maybe in your walk up, you're seeing/thinking about the trash until you get close enough to see and hear the restaurant and then the perception shifts?

Cilantro doesn't taste like soap to me, but it does taste bad to me, and I'm not above saying I have the gene if it means they don't put cilantro on my food.

I was watching some Japanese movies and noticed that the doors to their flats opened outward. Is that a universal thing in Japan, that all residential doors open outwards? Is that common in east asia in general? Are the hinges protected so that no one can remove the pin and take the door off from the outside?

As another example of love/hate foods, provolone tastes kinda like puke because it has butyric acid in it. Which uh, is in vomit. There are other foods that contain it as well but for some reason provolone is the only food where I notice it. Still delicious but I can’t think about it too much.

Doors tend to open outwards for safe evacuation in places like the Nordic countries, the Baltics, Russia, Korea and Japan. The hinges are probably security hinges. They have a pin or a tooth that sets into a slot in the opposite hinge plate. This keeps the door from being pulled out even if the hinge pin is removed.

I know you can make money from drawing weird porn on the internet. But how do you get started if you're just looking to get paid and not actually a part of some niche community? I have a friend (not me, I have zero artistic talent, but otherwise I'd be game) who has difficulty holding down a real job, but they're pretty good at drawing and not afraid of mpreg cars or whatever, so it seems like a good way to get some income without having to deal with coworkers and external deadlines. But what sites do you go to and how do you advertise? I already specifically told them about setting hard limits up front (pedophilia and rape are the two big ones I think) and strict anonymity.

I used to go to karaoke and sing songs that were in German. I don't know German, and that's kind of the joke, but I got pretty well at phoneticizing the words. I was thinking of singing the song Judgement from Yakuza 0 (which is itself a karaoke song in the game). I was practicing it and there are some English words thrown in there, and I realized as I sang the English words I was singing them as the singer does in the song, which is to say with an extremely thick Japanese accent. So it got me thinking, is it problematic that I'm doing this song at all? Phonetically singing a German rock song is fun and kind of funny but doing it to a Japanese song feels almost like something approaching yellow-face*. Especially since I'm not saying these words like an American who knows some Japanese; I'm mimicking a singer, who is Japanese. *yellow-face feels so loving problematic, too. Is there a better expression than this for what I'm talking about? credburn fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Aug 7, 2022 |

It's fine. The stereotypical japanese accent is literally just how katakana is pronounced properly to get people to understand you, it's something people have to get used to when they live in japan.

But what sites do you go to and how do you advertise? I think some of the folks in the CC forum do porn as a side-gig, or at least they used to. Worth asking there maybe? The majority of the work is done by commission. Tumblr used to be where artists would post their portfolio to attract customers until they banned adult content (and basically killed the site). Not sure where folks go now.
