That's a big-ass bruise. If it was a hole, that man wouldn't be standing.

I'm confused - is it not child pornography?

The impact from hitting water at such velocity would kill them.

Drop them 100 miles out with nothing but their clothes instead. That would be a much more horrific experience; being able to tread water for a while, but nobody being able to find you.

Magma is too quick if a death.

It would be an incredibly painful death. Magma/lava is incredibly dense, you would skitter along the top like a drop of water on a searing hot pan. And then pop.

Yes, however, that wasn't the point.

You can get a Dell micro Optiplex for less money and have a full fledged i5 or i7 processor with similar power usage.

Absolutely, I've got a cluster of mini PCs with 7th/8th gen T sku i7s, plus an Optiplex SFF running a standard i7-7700, and everything together draws less than 100W on average.

What if I decide to digitize my entire movie catalog? I would have to rip those DVDs and blurays...

Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery (sh.itjust.works)

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.
