notes on fluff

 

Wait, I just read a really nice website 

https://www.downandfeathercompany.com/pages/how-to-choose-fill-power?srsltid=AfmBOoocnHrcnJtIQsxesvy2N_8Tb1iQtNqo3LoreYa0xYjp4ps1nM9e

My geese aren't Hungarian, they're "Canadian." (From China)

The entry I erased had tags from their little blurb.
So as soon as it arrived, I took a photo of the actual tags 

(there are three, but only two fit into the photo).

"Cotton with Teflon"
(20% goose feather)
I'm ok with the Teflon (I think)
No cooking

But (I wrote, then erased) 

pillows generally are delivered very slowly from very far away. 

If I wrote a fluff-piece on the thing when it finally gets here, would you read it?
I prolly won't, then.

I'll let reddit bombasts do it for me.

I personally don't mind chinese products, I own almost exclusively from them.

 But this guy has a real bug up his butt about chinese.

The next one will hit you in the face (it did me)

Whadda deal, only $1700 for a pillow.

Lice, barf, snot, face-cream, and the delicate shell/covering that you buy a pillowcase for,

make me think $1700 is too outré.

While I waited for the slow-boat-delivery, I did some more research on why my videocard runs slower with newer drivers after August 2024.
It turns out to be more nuanced.
The Card is faster, slightly, but the CPU-test is slower, lowering the test score.

Left, December-adrenalin; Right, August Adrenalin Driver results.

note on the right, August's test "21,450" is slower than DECember driver on the left, 22,005 (it's within a margin of error)

but the CPU-test on the right (august-driver) is much faster than the December (the latest) driver. 15831 vs 13430, and the tests were run within minutes of each other,

with nothing else changed.

..........

 

Are one of my BIOS settings wrong now, 

or did they shift some load over to the CPU, 

is there anything I can do, 

or is this the new reality?

My first thing I'd like to try is, enable SMT again, just in case I am wrong thinking SMT makes benchmarks slower at 3dmark.

But I'd have to keep switching back to December's driver.
IDK.

August driver w/ SMT

Dec Driver w/ SMT

3dmark hates SMT

3DMark likes my August Driver.
Don't know why.

Everything back to where it was before I wrote this

I see a pattern, sort of: The card gets all happy but the CPU gets pissed.

If this were some forum I'd be getting advice to overclock this or that, or the other thing. 
This PC was built on an impossibly high amount of money and if anything breaks, it's curtains for the entire PC.
So forget overclocking.

I want to write a blog about bra-commercials.
The ones on the commercials look bullet-proof.
The ones I've seen IRL look like the top of a bikini, all cottony and soft.
OK it's not like they stand there to answer questions about bras, but I was wondering: Why the biggie difference?
No-nonsense bras to keep breasts in line, vs thin printed ones that look like part of a shirt or a pillowcase. It was a fluffy train of thought, which I'd pursue on Google except for all the gossip about how "He likes bras!! Look!!"

I'd rather not know.
