Apparently, i’m not the only one who feels that way. I tried to use Mastodon, but couldn’t find anyone worth following. People always post random stuff I don’t care about.

That gives me an idea for a sci-fi weapon. It squeezes a few grams of stuff into an unstable black hole, which then releases all of the energy in a massive explosion.

If there was a compression ray, it could cause a few pico grams of matter to form a black hole on the surface of the target. If you pulse it very quickly, you get the appearance of a continuous cutting beam. Obviously, those explosions would be very loud and they would emit lots of radiation, so maybe it could be a tank mounted weapon.

That means your CPU should be just fine, though single thread performance could still be an issue.

If the overlay can’t show you all the cores separately, you would need to alt+tab to check the proper CPU graph from time to time. If single thread performance is a bottle neck, you should see a single core staying at 100% for a long period of time or multiple cores taking turns to briefly visit 100% load.

Keep folding until you hit Fe or Ni.

Check how much CPU is being used during normal activities (task manager, process explorer whatever). If individual cores visit 100% usage briefly, that’s perfectly fine. If all cores go 100% for a while, that’s probably fine as well. If you see that the entire CPU maxes out for long periods of time, that could be a bottle neck. If you see that sort of thing happening when doing something exotic, that’s perfectly fine. You don’t need to upgrade your CPU just so that some once-a-year thing runs better. If you see that every day, you might want to consider upgrading.

BTW you can also use the same method to figure out if your GPU, RAM or disk is a bottleneck.

If you’re handling highly concentrated solutions of nicotine, normal lab safety procedures should keep you safe. Wear gloves, be careful, take your time, no rush, clean everything carefully etc. You know, the usual chemical safety stuff.

Not very dangerous when it’s very diluted.

Check the SDS for more info. They didn’t include the high seas pictogram for no reason.

Inside the fourth box: Do not open unless this box is inside the other boxes and all the lids are closed.

Best thing is, those changes would not upset anyone in the slightest. It’s just physically impossible.
