Saying it's "not a competitor to a 5080" is disingenuous. It's also not gonna be a competitor to the 5070 and will barely compete with the 5060, and that's assuming NVIDIA somehow only improves upon the 4060 by 15%, which would be their worst generational leap in like 10 years. The B580 is an almost 2025 card with 2023 performance. Its only purpose is to force NVIDIA and AMD to cut down their prices.

But not everybody is making a statement about morality. He's purportedly saying "capital punishment is bad and we should get rid of it". If you make exceptions, all you're saying is that you're in favor of keeping it around for really bad people, which is exactly where they are now.

Yes. Unless it's pot of greed, then you can have 0 copies.

That's the point of taking a "moral stance against federal executions", though — nobody deserves it.

He could be sending a message, and that's what Trump is actually pissed about.

That actually makes sense.

That may be true but singling out 3 people who are currently harmless and saying "you get to die" feels somehow different.

I understand that and, if you ask me, those 3 guys are pos. My problem is that he said he did it to take a moral stance against death penalty. You can't do that and go "except for these 3 cases".

While I'm overall glad about this, leaving 3 unpardoned inmates really corrupts the "moral stance against federal executions" justification and makes it seem like he is in favor of capital punishment but only for people he thinks deserve it. It also makes it seem like he believes it's his decision to decide who gets to live and that rubs me the wrong way.

I will look into this and adjust my behaviour accordingly. Been meaning to get a bidet anyway.

Yes, that's ideal

Expensive, yeah; wasteful, no. It might even save toilet paper for people like OOP since it requires less wiping.
