if you underclock your CPU frequency does it increase the amount of torque it can deliver
I've always wanted a Citroen DS... If ever I have more money than I'm quite sure what to do with, I'll get one like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzo3dsa_X6A
Since installing Pi-Hole for my home network more than a third of DNS lookups are being blocked. General web browsing is so much faster as a result.

"Two-thirds (68 percent) of American’s [six] who identify as libertarians are men, and 94 percent are non-hispanic whites."
Also interesting is the comment that "fringe movements tend to be dominated by men". Judging by the photos, the leaders of the National Popular Vote project (https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/about) are all white men. It's fringy in that most people haven't heard of it, but it may succeed in its one very specific goal.

Overheard: "I guess it was technically edible, because I ate it." #MRE
There’s also a hurdy gurdy.
I’m standing near someone with a sackbut which gives me great pleasure.

individual ambition is overrated and is only lauded as essential bc it’s essential to capitalism

I don't care what anyone else says, MMORPG is said 'More Pig'
We've moved on to Jeff Buckley - The Last Goodbye. This is a damn fine playlist.... damn fine.
Listening to music from the 90s I'm struck by how much mastering has changed. Most of this stuff will have been recorded to analogue tape and quite a lot will have had an entirely analogue mastering process too. Compared to music released more recently it's really light on the bass. Take me a while to mentally readjust to this being a balanced and natural sound.
Cake's version of I Will Survive is a fine thing to listen to.

42 year old me wishes 21 year old me hadn’t been talked into doing a PhD in AI and machine learning. I’d really like to be excited about all the AI/ML work going on at the moment, but all I’m seeing is the same problems/mistakes of 20 years ago, but with more CPU resources.
A couple of years ago as close, long time friends started turning 40, we had a bit of a get together in lieu of being able to get to each individual celebration. I put together a playlist. I'm listening to it now and it's amazing. Wonderstuff, Guns 'n' Roses, Counting Crows, Kula Shaker, The Lighting Seeds, T'Pau, and even some Bananarama.
I have always avoided learning how to code. I've dabbled in HTML in the pre-css days (yes I'm old) and I used to type basic programs from a magazine into my ZX81 back in the day but somehow without actually learning anything in the process.
So this needs to change but I'm not sure where to start. Day job is in networks, so what do folk recommend... python? And what's a good route to start for an absolute beginner?
