My dual Pentium Pro system got some upgraded processes today! Let's talk about it in a 🧵 here!
Originally, the system had these 180MHz CPUs in it, and they were actually overclocked to 200MHz and running smoothly. They have 256KB cache. 
Getting to both processors in this case is a mild chore. I had to remove the power supply! Also, here you can also see the CPU socket. Lots of pins for a Pentium Pro!
To those who didn’t love the opening ceremonies at the Olympics, it’s important to know who created them & why.
The artistic director for the 2024 Olympics is French artist Thomas Jolly.
While we know little about him, we know what we produced.
Many of us wonder why.

Jolly has been widely quoted as saying he wanted “everyone to feel represented” in the show he produced for the opening ceremonies.
So apparently his objectives focused on inclusion and unity.

Inclusion and unity are values that themselves seem easy enough to defend here, given that the Olympic Games seek to bring the world together for a few days in pursuit of athletic excellence.

An interview with the chief author of the American intelligence community’s report on Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
“The unclassified version of the intelligence report concluded that Putin had ‘ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election,’ had ‘developed a clear preference for [Trump],’ and ‘aspired to help [Trump’s] election chances when possible.’
“The report found broad agreement within the intelligence community except for one point: Had Putin ordered Russia’s spy services to meddle in the election merely to cause bipartisan chaos, or had he wanted Trump to win?

Analysing every Mikey Moore action vs. Vissel Kobe.
- Detailed player analysis, every touch.
- What we can learn.
- What he can improve.
- What he did well.
- Why he is going to be a star.

Within only ~30 seconds of coming on, Mikey Moore is left untracked.
There is acres and acres of space him to run into, and he does exactly that. Whilst this is not anything to hit home about, you compare to it Kulusevski who was in a similar area (also untracked), and also had the opportunity to make a similar run.
However, Mikey Moore immediately starts to run towads the area, essentially meaning Kulusevski can opt to do something else, all it does speaks volumes about his instinct/urgency.
The "normal" scenario would have been for Kulusevski to be the one attacking the space, Moore drifting slightly wide. Despite Moore starting MUCH wider in the build up to this goal, he instantly looks to curve his run and attack the space. That is instinct.

This situation ends with Jamie Donley firing a shot slightly wide - but Solomon's decision making was poor to not find Bergvall on the overlap (wide open), who could have played it across the face of goal/a low cross/cut into Moore who would have likely had a very, very good chance.
And on another day, the shot deflects off the post and into Moore for the rebound, but luck is not always there.
In short, this a brilliant, yet simple, off the ball run which shows hunger by Moore as his first real action, only 30 seconds on the pitch.

Most Nigerians suffer from “Escapism.”
The #BBNaijaS9 just started about 3 hours ago and everyone seemed mentally-detached from the Nigerian problem and intensely invested in the show.
“Escapism,” in loose terms, means taking one’s mind and attention away from problems to a more pleasurable experience.
I consider this a huge mental defect in most Nigerians. We increasingly seek a pleasurable experience to dash our minds on and escape from our last minute agony.

This explains why we love to jump from trend to trend. It also tells why short cruise posts entice and interest most of us so much. But, we instantly grow mental fatigue when we see a 3-4 pieces long, insightful thread.
I’m more convinced that Nigerians are actually not genuinely interested in protesting or fighting to solve the problem bedeviling the country - hardship and bad governance.
It’s simply because, there’s no available activity that will drive our minds away from these problems we face.
So, as soon as the #BBNaijaS9 started, we immediately yield our minds and jump on the trend. It worked, partially, in 2022.

The consequence is that we develop short memories and become very forgetful. So, a politician will feed us “sh!t” in January and come with bread in October and we’d embrace him and sing his praises.
Not being able to hold memory of, particularly bad, situations or events long enough costs us the chance to genuinely appreciate those situations and work towards changing them.
Ironically funny, when the pleasurable event ends or the trend dissipates, we return as we were and moan like the problem just began.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s a curs£, other times, I just think it’s a collective mental defect - the later seems more like it. We need to cure this and urgently.

With two weeks to go before the release of Alien Romulus, I'm starting my Alien rewatch.
And for the first time, I'm starting in the chronological order of this universe.
Welcome to 2093, on LV-223.

🧵/This short thread will build upon The @guardian ’s recent report on Kevin Roberts’ close ties to Opus Dei. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…
The website listed in the excerpt above, Where Are You, provides additional information that was not cited in the Guardian’s article as it relates to Kevin Roberts likely being Opus Dei. I’ll include my findings below.
1. Dr. Kevin Roberts is listed as being a significant contributor to the “Austin Leadership Summit”. The term “supernumerary” is highlighted below because it’s used by Opus Dei. It is unclear if Roberts is being referred to as one of the three supernumeraries referenced. 
🧵This one is an example of the availability heuristic, folks. That's a cognitive shortcut people use to estimate the prevalence of an event (like a health threat) by how easily they can think of examples (either from the media or from personal experience). As I pointed out... 
to this person, all sorts of factors can affect how easily examples of covid mortality came to his mind. One was that this man's demographics (region, race, age, etc) may have made his own acquaintances less likely to have severe covid outcomes than was the population norm.

Another factor that can affect the availability of relevant info. is whether he would have known of such covid deaths; we don't always hear about deaths of acquaintances, let alone how they died, & in cases where there is stigma surrounding cause of death (as w/ HIV & covid)

1/2 Interesting. Since people are starting to take notice of The Elections Group. How chummy are they w Fulton County. Before they even started, Rich Barron calls them colleagues. They are being paid by either themselves or Vote at Home Institute. Who funds them? Dark money? 
They are being paid a cool 150/hour. (unclear from email if vote at home is paying them), but vote at home does give money to the GASOS in grants. I bet the other elections workers are jealous. Now who funds vote at home institute with 8 million dollars in 2020?? Well, thats more interesting. This is a non profit. This should have to be disclosed who their donors are. Who is Ascent Media. Well Its run by, you guessed Brian Kemps staff. Thats a nice ad buy there. Who else gives them money more recently? Sam Bankman Fried's SVB Charitable arm and the Tides Foundation. . Look at who they give grants too as well. Very interesting list of cities.
