Avoid living close to any major city or military base. Have food stockpiled. A shelter is good to have but most likely you will not needed if you don't like close to a likely target.

If that is the case putin really need to be careful since the US is looking for reasons to escalate the conflict. I don't think it's about maintaining the economy though. I think it's about maintaining political control and grabbing more. The democrats are in bad shape for the next election so...

Are you sure putin is going to risk ww3 in a losing position over some Ukrainian territories?

Hasn't the US more or less promised to respond directly militarily if they do that. So it comes down to putin having the balls to call what might be a bluff. But the nordstream sabotage indicate that it isn't a bluff (the US might be behind that).

Let's see if there is any updated zen4 data regarding emulation, avx512 might help with that. wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-9-7950x-zen-4-cpu-avx-512-support-becomes-top-choice-for-rpcs3-sony-ps3-emulator/ Raptor lake (such as 13700KF) or zen4 (such as 7950x) will be the best option.

Intel could have released a 12 or 16 core version with AVX-512 For reasons that are unclear to me they decided to instead waste space on estrogen cores and integrated GPU, this might be good for laptops and low-end desktop but it's not what you want for high end desktop systems. As we see here...

Are CPU benchmark unrealistic? It is sometimes claimed that CPU benchmarks at 1080p or 720p with say 3090ti are unrealistic because "people don't actually play at these resolutions" but this is not quite correct. 0. DLSS, FSR and XeSS exists where the game is rendered at a lower resolution and...

If you go with intel it might be better just go get a z690 motherboard since z790 doesn't offer any real advantages besides maybe better DDR5 overclocking support (it's higher officially at least). MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 MSI PRO Z690-A DDR5 All decent motherboards have a "bios flashback"...

Don't listen to pro putin/russia morons Earlier they were claiming "russia is winning" and then Ukraine regained 8000 Km² of territory and russia announced a 'partial' mobilization in a desperate attempt to stop the Ukrainian advances. Turns out that with some training (that the west were...

Is alder lake better for gaming? Obviously raptor lake will beat AMD at least in gaming but what about the older alder lake? https://www.techspot.com/review/2535-amd-ryzen-7950x/ Anandtech did not make an aggregate so i will have to take the geometric mean myself (5% low) 12900K: 141.63...

Don't let AMD gaslight into thinking "95° C is OK" It's absolutely not OK. A 225W CPU shouldn't fun that hot. The issue is that the IHS for zen4 CPUs is awful combined with high termal density for the CPU, this adds around 20° C to the CPU temperature. Having it however around 95° C would be...

7950x don't scale well past 200W I assume this was without undervolting:

Was the nordsteam 1 and 2 destructions a warning to russia/putin ? One important aspect when it comes to deterence is demonstrating you are willing to go the full mile. The US blowing up nordstream 1 and 2 would for that reason make strategic sense at least. If the US was behind it it was...

Why we might se WWIII soon As expected putin is losing the Ukraine war really badly and just sending more cannon fodder to the front isn't going to cut it. He cannot win the war without using nuclear weapons and he is obviously very unwilling to back down at this point. USA has promised there...

The war will probably be limited to Ukraine or it will be nuclear. If the war is limited to Ukraine there will be a lot more males than females dying. If the war goes nuclear a lot of females will die too. Might be more males dying than females from that if it is just ukraine getting hit...

The welfare state and high taxes is of course terrible for less attractive males since it makes moneymaxxing a lot less effective. lefties like to claim "if you oppose abortion you should support mothers" but we do not actually need the mother to raise the child in the first place. We could...

This is why you cannot have demoracy, it results in people pursuing short-term comfort and fun ignoring future consequences. Just look at europe. Neglecting the military for decades in order to spend more on welfare to buy votes. We have this "forced positivity" in western societies where...

Governments don't really need to be competetive these days which means that they get away with hiring people who don't really do anything good for the government. Private companies instead need to compete which pushes them to get rid of unproductive workers. The issue with government jobs is...

Of course it's very difficult to start your own business and make it profitable. Most people end up having to live on welfare or become wage-cucks. Some wage-jobs are nice but they are few and far between and even then you probably do not get much in terms of job security.

The issue with that reddit testinomy is that it could have been completely made up. I don't think anyone has tried to replicate that experiment yet, it would be good if someone spent his/her time doing that but most people got better stuff to do. It's better to own your own business so you...
