If the US were to go in and take over some asian nation and start trying to breed out their women so they will never be fully asian again, the world would shit the bed. Everyone would.
There are things you can do that simply give up any concept of moral high ground. And America - for the same reason their own population is tired of war - is a fucking warmonger.
@judgedread Putin still hasn't even declared it a war yet, this is just an "operation" still. They haven't done shit. Most Russians probably can't even tell they are doing it.
How it started, who did it, why they did it, why they do it in general, who is leading, how they lost the war, what they are doing about it and what it all means.
@theshortbus To be fair, he's just a CIA stooge. And Trump is fucking him and Ukraine on this whole thing. The USA did this whole thing. They created this whole situation from scratch back in 2014.
@Snidely_Whiplash@theshortbus@EvilSandmich Yeah they are kinda fucking him at this point - but I also don't think he has a lot of choice. I mean the war is basically lost. It's all a question of price for Putin at this point.
Does he want to take all the country at the price it'll cost in lives and hardware?
It's the thing trump gets really really wrong. He said it in that meeting, if I was zelensky I'd have jumped on it when trump goes "We can't do business like this."
I would've said "Mr Trump it's not a business. It's a Nation. And a Nation has many things a business does not. It has pride and a spirit to it that cannot be broken without breaking what makes the nation distinct."
@BattleDwarfGimli I wanted to know what I would need to run Grok at home. Then it told me and I just said "Is that for a single user?"
And it went off for 5 minutes and came back with "Something went wrong" lol
The answer is...
Estimated Cost Here’s a breakdown of the approximate costs based on current market prices: GPUs: 4x NVIDIA A100 80GB @ $12,000 each = $48,000 Prices can range from $10,000 to $15,000 depending on availability and retailers, but $12,000 is a reasonable average for individual purchases. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X = $700 RAM: 256GB DDR5 = $1,200 DDR5 prices vary, but this is a conservative estimate as costs have been decreasing. Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD = $100 Motherboard: High-end with multiple PCIe slots = $600 PSU: 2000W = $400 Cooling: Adequate cooling solution = $500 Case: Large tower = $200 Miscellaneous: Cables, accessories, etc. = $200
Total Estimated Cost: $51,700
Range: Depending on specific components and market fluctuations, the cost could range from $50,000 to $60,000.
@NoDoxGregBrady@ThePoastmasterGeneral@JollyR I'm serious. I don't mean all Americans are dumb, I mean valley girl #8971238 had something explained to her by someone smart one day and just started using it and the next thing you know valley girl #7672333 started, and then a whole herd of valley girls were using it.
