Princess Mononoke just has a slow gradual buildup. It builds the world and plays with plot tension and progression in interesting ways. Then saves the climax for the end of the film, with an after scene that gives a sense of finality.

It's easily one of my favourite films for these reasons.

Statins are dangerous... they block cholesterol, which incidentally, is fundamental, crucial, even, to the formation of both cell membranes and innumerable important hormones.

They are no solution at all. Just a fad.

> If you want really long battery life and no heat at all, you can downclock all the way to something like 200-400MHz. A recent CPU at that speed is actually quite usable for things like text editing and reading documentation.

Linux does grant the user that flexibility, so if someone actually wants that, they can have it.

The max non-boost frequency is usually the sweet spot for performance and efficiency.

> On the other hand, if it's plugged in much of the time, then let it boost as much as it can, with speed only thermally limited. Otherwise you're not getting the true performance you paid for.

If the user wants to live with a potentially reduced laptop lifespan, sure thing. But it's just not worth it for a laptop, frankly, given their limited thermal cooling capacities. That CPU will degrade over time when run at that level of heat.

The real solution for laptops ~ just disable boost! (Granted, you might have to disable it via /sys every boot, but that can be scripted...)

Laptops shouldn't be using boost anyways, because their form factors and CPU coolers just can't handle the heat output.
