  • Literally every rodent. Having teeth like that is the defining feature that distinguishes them from other similar types of mammals, such as lagomorphs (rabbits etc.), which have four top teeth.

    From Wikipedia:

    Rodents (from Latin rodere, ‘to gnaw’) are mammals of the order Rodentia (/roʊˈdɛnʃə/ roh-DEN-shə), which are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws.

    (I learned this the other day when my wife thought rabbits were rodents and we ended up looking it up.)


  • As with many of the articles I’ve seen on this topic, this headline is a misrepresentation. Zelensky is willing to resign in exchange for Ukraine joining NATO, specifically. NOT the “give Russia everything it wanted and more” capitulation Trump is demanding. Only NATO.

    What all these headlines talking about “bring[ing] peace” while omitting the “joining NATO” part are doing is priming public opinion to turn against Zelensky when he rightfully rejects a “peace” deal that keeps Ukraine isolated and vulnerable to further Russian aggression later.

    Joining NATO is the ONLY path to real, lasting peace for Ukraine. Every “offer” short of that is nothing but a bad-faith distraction to give the temporary appearance of peace while Russia regroups and prepares to finish the job.





  • “To enable the massive 256GB/s memory bandwidth that Ryzen AI Max delivers, the LPDDR5x is soldered,” writes Framework CEO Nirav Patel in a post about today’s announcements. “We spent months working with AMD to explore ways around this but ultimately determined that it wasn’t technically feasible to land modular memory at high throughput with the 256-bit memory bus. Because the memory is non-upgradeable, we’re being deliberate in making memory pricing more reasonable than you might find with other brands.”

    😒🍎

    Edit: to be clear, I was only trying to point out that “we’re being deliberate in making memory pricing more reasonable than you might find with other brands” is clearly targeting the Mac Mini, because Apple likes to price-gouge on RAM upgrades. (“Unamused face looking at Apple,” get it? Maybe I emoji’d wrong.) My comment is not meant to be an opinion about the soldered RAM.
