Intel actually bought AMD Radeon GPUs for their Hades Canyon (Kaby Lake G) platform. It was a NUC mainboard with a full Intel platform, combined with an AMD Radeon GPU. The Intel CPU and the GPU (including HBM2 memory for the GPU) was all on one package soldered to the mainboard.
I think they did a couple of follow ups on that as well, because it worked very well.
The fixed camera was a staple in 3D horror games. I think it started with Alone in the Dark (1992)? But there might even be something earlier that started it.
Whatever you do, don’t look up Gandalf Big Naturals online, trust me.
Isn’t he just like a rich douchebag now? Why do we care about this asshole? And why does he do this kind of thing? I’m sure the injured people will be happy some rich fuck in his castle says he cares.

Where I live it’s the same, the machine does all the work. But there’s always one or two dudes that walk ahead of the truck and make sure it’s all positioned and spaced correctly. Especially in the city where streets can be narrow and there isn’t enough room, they end up just wheeling the bins into the machine a couple at a time.
Tell me Legolas, what do your elven eyes see?
Fucking pixels Aragorn, it makes me want to puke. And what the fuck is up with these compression artifacts? What tier of Netflix do you have?
Sorry Legolas, could we just enjoy the movie?
Maybe if the dwarf stops stinking up the place. And don’t think I didn’t see him take that last chicken wing, fucking dwarves.
Sure you can physically move the gate. The intergalactic gate bridge proves that in spades. But there’s more to it than just the gate. It’s also all the supporting hardware. Without a DHD you need so much hardware to make it work. Then there’s all the security issues. Being inside a mountain is a huge plus when it comes to safety. Not just from a foothold situation, but also when being connected to a black hole for example. And having a failsafe device is also something easier done inside a mountain. You can destroy the entire base without basically setting off a nuke without warning in the mainland US. Possibly even destroy the base without anybody on the outside knowing about it, or with the option to say it’s an accidental collapse. Then there’s moving all the personnel, who are all stationed at that base. With other programs like NORAD being stationed there, it’s easy to hide what you are doing. This is much harder on other sites, especially to cover up the huge energy hookup needed to establish the wormhole before it can draw power from the other side.
Bottom line it would cost probably a billion dollars or even more. That’s if a good enough site already exists, otherwise it would cost way more. And in the end be worse off in every possible way. Yeah no, you are right, that sounds exactly like a Trump move.
Yeah, it would be a pretty big task to move the Stargate and the entire Stargate project to another state. It makes zero sense to have Space Command be that far away from our primary access to space.
Wow that’s crazy! I’ve also gotten an XP key burned into my brain, but it’s a different one. I had no idea there were multiple people memorised:

It used to have it’s own Wikipedia page, but now it’s just a mention on this page:
I have definitely seen TVs where there is a top transparant plastic layer that looks like protective film but is absolutely not supposed to come off. I’ve even seen two models of OLED TVs that are very similar, and have plastic on the metal backing. On one of them it says to absolutely not remove the plastic. On the other it says to make sure to remove it, otherwise the TV will overheat.
Even if you know a lot about these kinds of things, don’t be proud and just read the manual / quick start guide. It will tell you what plastic needs to be removed and what needs to stay.
