    The Admiral Kuznetsov has sunk.

    Because the floating dry dock it was being overhauled in has also sunk.

    apple reports earnings nov 1

    let's see how that goes and i bet things will move up or down as a result generally

    stock market lol i don't know anything about it really but

    could also be the upcoming election

    the market does some kinda headscratching shit at times who knows

    I liked how Amazon was all "year-over-year we're better in every possible category, though we did miss our projected goal by a few %" and apparently that means their stock drops by like a quarter

    Stocks mirite?

    That makes sense to me. The projected goal would have already mostly been built into the price.

    799 seems appropriate for whats in it. RAM is on a cheap cyle. 6 core proc is pretty barebones. Its a nice price ish for it I guess.

    lol it wont be 799 with 64 gigs of ram and the 6 core processor and the 10Gbit... nothing is.

    But it will be more pricy than windows competitors...

    its just good to see a sub 1000 dollar headless option from apple that plays in the neighborhood of other offerings within a couple hundred bucks, and in some ways outpaces (like I/O).

    Yeah 32 gig ram with 6 core probably has a core component cost of about 4-500 so yeah that will be like 1500-2k for them wouldnt it. I like the systems though. If they had a decent one out I would have bought one for LadyJubs.

    China is making a mini artificial moon and for some reason that's really creepy to me.

    Also dear lord I feel like crap. Toughing it out until noon then going to try and use a sick day. Got em, may as well use em.

    If it makes you feel better, that project is both logistically and scientifically impossible, and that's generously assuming whatever bureaucrat that announced it was serious instead of just trying to sound important.

    tbf it's not impossible

    their specs are just off by a factor of like 4,000

    Look all they need to do is build a reflector half the diameter of the Moon in geostationary orbit and also give it some kind of infinite fuel source so it can keep station against all that photon pressure.

    Is that so much to ask??

    I kind of wish they would make just a straight-up second moon

    That would be hella cool for almost no other reason than its own existence

    A festival honoring the peanut began on Nov. 10, 1938. The guest speaker was Dr. George Washington Carver, the festival web site says. Carver, from Tuskegee Institute, gained international fame with his development of more than 300 products from the peanut
    The city of Dothan expects up to 200,000 visitors for it.

    No, no,

    We build our own moon and conquer the Chinese moon.

    Then America will have three moons. (Moon classic already belongs to us ofc we put a flag on it.)

    Im guessing its just core "internal/ecosystem" benchmarks and not low power marks like it will run at for 99% of the time.

    Okay, they are showing NBA2K18 on the iPad, and it actually looks as good as the PS4/XBO versions, complete with sweat.

    The download size for this game is gonna be dumb.

    I think the game on the switch, which is probably the comparable version they are showing, was about 22gigs with a, around 5 gig, save file. The switch versions of NBA have had sweat and other such graphics.

    It looks better than switch version; I have the switch version.

    This is running at native resolution with HDR.

    Its going to be way too big to be practical unless they strip out all the voice / story stuff.
