    Damn, your dentist is playing 4D chess and it seems like they are winning - make it seem so hard that you do nothing and end up needing to spend a fortune.

    I use an electric toothbrush with a flossing head twice a day, for 2 mins if I can pay attention that long, and my dentist says a checkup and clean every two years is more than enough because my teeth are so good.

    What are you supposed to spend that time doing? Overbrushing damages teeth, so you should do 2 minutes twice a day.

    You perhaps should floss every day. And you’re slow so it takes you 11 minutes.

    What are you supposed to do with the remaining 45 minutes? Snuggle up and watch half a movie with them?




  • Watermelon pricing is so weird. Sometimes it’s “watermelon, $3 each” and you get so much watermelon you can’t eat it. Then the next week it’s “watermelon, $3/kg” and it costs you $20 for the same watermelon. I’m convinced they swap between each and per kg to catch people out, because watermelon is so damn heavy.

    Maybe but hardly anyone had 32GB of RAM 5 years ago so that’s unlikely to feed into the average. My original thought was that I don’t think the average will go down, because people will keep their current hardware for longer. Maybe we will see mobos with modern sockets and DDR4 support if this drags on, but hopefully the bubble will burst by Christmas and we’ll all be picking up refurbished DDR5 for pennies from the decommissioned data centres.

    Well the last couple of years is pretty restrictive. If you’re upgrading every few years you’ll probably just bite the bullet and pay for the RAM.

    My last comment was basically saying you can upgrade to the top of the line CPU that fits your mobo, giving you an upgrade for not too much cash. Better than forking out for DDR5.

    Not necessarily, most people will be able to upgrade their CPU to a better model with the same socket. Sockets aren’t updated every time a CPU is released, and most people won’t be buying the top of the top even if they were, meaning there’s room to grow as prices drop.





  • Ahhh, the excel format keeps the precision but changes the display to 1 decimal. When exported to CSV, only that 1 decimal is exported, so you can’t bring back what isn’t there. But the original file still has it.

    I understand now, thanks! Definitely a coworker problem not an Excel problem then.
