Yep. The plugs are kind of random though. My old dryer, my new (used) dryer, and my stove are all 240v and every one is a different socket. It's weird. I think my RV hookup is the same as the new dryer though, which matches my little generator.

Is this a switcheroo?

Back when you could potentially turn the GPU cycles into some cash via crypto it made sense, but it's same as running a space heater.

My favourite take away from the K reviews. The 16 E cores use the same power as a 5950X (AMDs 16 core cpu). i don't think intel can

I mean I don't feel stupid at all considering I prefaced my curiosity in my original comment pretty explicitly, but it's all good, I hope your butt is ok from all that hurting

I assume that the US is like Canada, you have some 240v outlets (with different shapes) for things like clothes dryer, oven, possible welder in the garage, but outside of that everything is 120?

There are tradeoffs, "more" isn't inherently "better". I'm in the US and I can't remember the last time I tripped a breaker, though I remember quite vividly the last time I got a shock.

No your statement is just factually incorrect. now that you made this statement I think you're stupid for ignoring facts

Maybe for the next CPU release, we can have something that uses very little power but packs a punch at the same time instead of this monster?

I guess the 13900K is referring to temperature...

Yeah, that's one way to look at it and it is kind of neat that it splits the difference but the relative speed difference between 1~4.77mhz 6502s, Z80s and 8086s and the 3mhz Pentium 4s and their contemporaries is way more profound and impressive.

I hope not. Most people don't use their touchscreen on their window devices, why they would use them here.
I see this as an excuse to increase the base price $200

An average house does not take a year to build. Assuming the video was talking about all levels, a 4000 sqft would take a 4 man crew about 3-5 weeks to go from foundation to siding and shingles. What the concrete frame of a house doesn't account for is the need for a cavity for utilities to go through. Someone still has to go through the interior and frame with wood to allow for plumbing, electrical, and hvac. A smaller simple house can be done even quicker. My brother's house with a main level of about 1700 sqft was started on a Monday and painted the following Saturday with driveway, patio, and sidewalk all poured.

The coolest thing about this build is that larger aggregate sizes (up to 10mm) were used than typical 3DCP projects and they printed a structural beam on site.
This is the future of multifamily and commercial construction, it just needs time to mature and become accepted by building departments across the world.

Unless you’re drawing I don’t see the appeal. Plus my OCD always kicks in when I accidentally use it on my Surface.

Yeah, but there's 3 ghz difference between both of them. Kinda like like 30mph is 30x as fast as 1mph, but 30-1 is 29 and 60-30 is 30.
