The ancient stuff that survived to the modern day are not more durable than contemporary engineering

Basically any stone structure made for any reason will vastly outlast any steel reinforced concrete structure. Although concrete might appear superficially stone-like and unchanging it is actually porous and chemically active. Within about 100 years the steel rebar inside a concrete structure will rust, expand, and crack the concrete apart. Freeze-thaw cycles and plant activity will reduce it to rubble shortly thereafter.

Meanwhile a piece of stone block was already about a billion years old before it was cut out of the ground. A stone structure might be destroyed by earthquakes or human activity, but it does not have a built-in self destruct sequence countdown timer like SRC does.

The problem isn’t that we can’t build something that will last a millennium, it’s that we rarely, if ever, need things to last that long.

We absolutely can and sometimes we do.

You've got me pegged lol, I already make my own.

That's a very dumb name, but I really like the simple design and earth tone color of the bar itself.

On the other hand I don't think I'd like to smell like beer.

I've successfully used a 1050 Ti and a 3060 Ti with Linux Mint and the proprietary drivers (selected through the GUI driver manager). So if anyone reading this is in a similar situation it might be worth it to try that.

It needs a port that you can attach your bag of caffeinated noodles to.

Strangely enough I feel like that crucification isn't much associated with the Romans. Even though the Romans were the ones who carried it out Judas gets almost 100% of the ire.

Even Jews are given more blame by antisemitic Christians. Like, no one is starting up a pogrom against Italians because their great great great grandpa might've been the guy who stabbed Jesus in the ribs.

When people think about Rome they usually imagine the roads and the aquaducts and not so much the crucifixions and the slavery.

Did they add the sand worms to this game yet?

Are they helpful?

I think you may have misread their comment.

Lower cost of living in china, ignoring of fair wages, ignoring of environmental concerns all reduce costs

Not making land yachts and not actively having a temper tantrum over the market transitioning to EVs might both be contributing factors as well.
