kikimaru··on Intel brings a six-core i9 CPU to laptops
The model numbers you're looking for are iX-8xxxG.

kikimaru··on How Tokyo built its way to abundant housing
>>>In one incident, the Carlsbad Army Airfield Auxiliary Air Base (32°15′39″N 104°13′45″W) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, was set on fire on May 15, 1943, when armed bats were accidentally released. The bats roosted under a fuel tank and incinerated the test range.

I got such a delicious feeling of Schadenfreude from this.

kikimaru··on Emails suggest reviews from the Wirecutter are “pay to play” (2014)
I've bought a few things after reading their reviews, but since found a select few youtubers who seem more genuine (e.g. RocketJumpNinja for gaming mice).
kikimaru··on What is happening in the Arctic is now beyond words, so here are the pictures
It's certainly not helping to add another, growing source of heat/electricity to the mix.

Completely apropos to the article, but why is it that when I pressed ESC on my keyboard, the article redirected me to try & log in to Squarespace?

Looks like a shelving frame* with a door handle to hold the laptop.
kikimaru··on As Discord nears 100M users, safety concerns are heard
[anecdotal] In our little fighting game community, our tech-savvy guys got tired of trying to add features to the IRC channel, so when they heard of Discord they just convinced everyone to switch to that. It's easier for Facebook-followers to follow a link to Discord than ask them to download an IRC client -> open #server -> open #channel

... huh. TIL
kikimaru··on Why We Terminated Daily Stormer
My politicial mindset, today, is vastly different to my political mindset from 5 or 10 years ago.

It helps that I live in a country with more than 2 dominant political parties; it lets me think in shades of gray (rather than in black-and-white).

kikimaru··on My grandfather at Dunkirk
> "I wish they wouldn't do that," said the officer with impressive cool. I tried to copy his nonchalant tone and said, "I suppose you get quite used to that sort of thing." "Not a bit of it, old man," he replied, lowering his voice. "What you get used to is pretending you are not as scared as your men are."

>When your life is on the line, you have to know why you're fighting

Pretty ironic, considering they're talking about the Iraq War (an invasion founded on lies & deceit)

kikimaru··on The 1980 Citroën Karin
Meanwhile, I'm STILL waiting for someone to build Gordon Murray's T.25 / T.27 3-seater cars. Last I checked, Shell bought the idea & rebranded it to "Project M" http://shell.com/projectm

Also, the cops now know that they just have to press Record 31 seconds after committing their crime.

What is the general feel on "Esperanto vs English as a world language" there?
kikimaru··on Why I left Japan after 10 years

I can't believe I'm seeing this kind of ignorance on HN...

kikimaru··on Why I left Japan after 10 years
He is (was?) married to a Japanese woman.
kikimaru··on I make $10k per month with the Amazon Affiliate Program
I'm not sure I understand, is this similar to the articles by comparison websites (e.g. The Wirecutter), or is he wholesale copy-pasting content from those sites & making affiliate money?
kikimaru··on “They Basically Reset My Brain”
Interesting, I wonder if this could also be applicable to that other article regarding sleep deprivation.
kikimaru··on Lego Saturn V
Nintendo actually made rounded Lego-style blocks in 1968-72 called N&B Block http://blog.beforemario.com/2011/10/nintendo-n-block-introdu...
kikimaru··on Lego Saturn V
I'm going to have to call you out here.

Nothing is stopping you from reusing pieces, they're made to the same quality as always. Newer sets don't have as many "speciality" pieces as they did in the dark ages (2000-2005) and the instructions have NEVER had more than 1-2 models in them.

If you want mechanical stuff, buy the Technic range.

And there is no "artificial scarcity" - they just happen to release new products constantly, and they can't keep every single set in production; so sets are retired after 3-4 years.

Finally, scalpers aren't the only ones to buy from; I find below-RRP sets all the time on Craigslist & similar.

To be fair, you probably can't get a good burger in Delhi because of the Hindus.

kikimaru··on Steve Ballmer serves up a data trove about government spending in the US
I wonder how many Americans will see this & get confused when "Defence" isn't a main column (it's in "Other", <1% of GDP)
kikimaru··on Ride-hailing apps may help to curb drunk driving
I was recently in Madagascar - it's not uncommon to be driving while sipping a beer, or driving home at 3am after drinking since 9pm. I theorize that they must just sweat it all out. Eating while drinking helps, too.
