NN-specific ASICs won't buy you much more FLOPs per watt than GPUs/TPUs will. These chips are already extremely good at NN computation. Sure, you could remove GP shader support and free up 5% of your die for a few more…

I know that by modern standards, 18% is better than average, but it's also still pretty fat for men. Men should strive for a 10-14% range. <10% is associated with hormone (specifically testosterone) deficiency, and >14%…

The vast majority of courts award spousal support for this exact reason. Post-divorce, the vast majority of stay-at-home moms with limited recent work history are supported by court edict.
Elementary Education and Pedagogy are "sciences" with an even poorer replication rate than Sociology and Psychology. Nobody educated to teach is actually qualified to do so by virtue of said education. Teaching is…
This is a strange claim. In my personal experience, the asshole kids overlapped greatly with the popular kids in a Venn diagram sense. People, in general, did want to be their friends.
Anecdata, but I am extremely addicted to nicotine lozenges.
You can do it on Kraken just fine. As long as you're ok paying taxes on it (since Kraken is KYC), you're still shielding the source of the funds, which is the primary utility of Monero. Or to put it another way, it's…

Yes, using tools is a huge red flag. Imagine dating someone who uses a hammer to drive in nails rather than their bare fists.
