I’m not Indian but went to India to support a friend getting married. They had five different events (that we were invited too, more that we weren’t), each with their own set of rituals and customs. One where you just put turmeric and spices on the grooms face!

And the ceremony she went to seemed different from any of those five! She could/should have obviously asked her fiancée but it’s really not so easy in Indian culture specifically to be prepared for everything you’re about to go through.

    I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

    So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

    Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

    My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

    edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I'm sure in 10 years we've made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.
