I’m dubious of faster than life travel being for reasons beyond our understanding of physics. If there were a reasonable way to do so 1 race anywhere in the galaxy could have colonized the entire galaxy or at least a substantial portion thereof in only a few million years. If it is possible it seems to suggest that life is so rare that there are very few forms of higher intelligent life in the galaxy at any given time and probably relatively few ever.

I’d like to see non-synthetic benchmarks showing real world performance increase in otherwise as close as possible to identical systems

Why would you think soldering would increase performance vs socketed at all much less provide “much higher performance”

If soldered was the only option ans 6 skud was enough for everyone everyone would have to buy very expensive hardware to increase one spec instead of smart people getting to mix match and upgrade.

The sad thing is in the US its extremely likely the fellow would have already been dead after years living on the streets with a cardboard sign.

It’s deeply weird that it rates Staff Punctuality Helpfulness Knowledge and then averages them. Kinda funny that if Dr Ned had a nice nurse he would probably rate higher than House.

Imagine a woman getting raped in the bushes and a bystander runs up and instead of helping her suggests they negotiate a more comfortable position.

The only thing desired is for Russia to leave and they have already said they would prefer that be decided on the battle field. Any temporary cessation of hostilities would just be giving them room to breath, re-supply, and mass forces. There literally isn’t anything to negotiate.
