This shit is fascinating, especially reading about the variations in function of the various brodmann areas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
My favorite schizo-interpretation of this is "your head is full of bees."
i.e. brodmann area 10, which is thought to be responsible for memory recall strategies (basically an adaptive memory allocator and heap) has about 250 million neurons in a pinprick of a volume.
A bee has about 1 million neurons.
In otherwords: the part of your brain that decides how memory is managed has only the equivalent brainpower of 250 bees, lol.
Obviously a simplification-to-the-level-of-absurdity but it's fun to intentionally interpret something to the level of distortion.11 -
Per my previous rant, I'm reading the reviews for different UPS units 800+ VA/400W) and am looking at this one particularly after going through a lot of them but they all seem sort of mixed.
https://amazon.com/dp/B000QZ3UG0/...
Lots of failures, burning smell, Sparks, and not honoring damages or that they can actually destroy the PC rather than helping it....
And for this brand, another issues send to he AVR vs PFC... Don't know which to get except PFC is $20 more...
I just don't know anymore, sorta like I'm screwed if I do and screwed if I don't...
How do you pick which UPS to buy and make sure it doesn't burn the house down?4
