It looks like Clickhole either deleted or moved that article earlier this year at some point in 2025. And if they moved it, they didn't update their link in their "best of 2018" post from 2024.

They're also still selling the t-shirt with the headline quote on it.

Anyway, here's an archive.org link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250517005853/https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/

They're rolling it out piecemeal. I don't think they've rolled it out to the UK yet, for example, because I can see both old and new interfaces without it requesting a login, but clearly it's requiring login for some people, somewhere.

Look on the bright side. If we hook up a dynamo to his coffin we might be able to power an AI data centre.

Unless by Hercules you mean Kevin Sorbo in which case, yeah, it was him alright.

Often, people who say that philosophy and the study of history are useless endeavours are hoping for the resurrection of some historical philosophy or another and they don't want people to find out how and why it failed.

Are you one of those people?

This is just arguing about whether the surname goes before or after the given name.

If you think int x makes the most sense, you might be Chinese. Or Hungarian. Or English speaking if you grew up with characters like Fireman Sam or Postman Pat... erm...

Let me guess, this doesn't count as a legal proceeding and so you can't plead the 5th?

Sooo, hyperbole aside, I did a quick search on the site of the retailer I last obtained parts through, right before the prices exploded, and their cheapest 1x64GB RAM DDR5 stick is about £2320.

(Big assumption here that the motherboard only has four RAM slots. If you're going to cram 192GB onto it, you're going to need at least a couple of those, and preferably three, not 2x64+2x32, hence not looking at smaller capacity sticks.)

As I write, eBay has one seller with a single 1x64GB DDR5 at a quarter of that, which makes me think they must be going by pre-explosion pricing, but it also has something at well over £10k, four times the other way (and more), so at least logarithmically, the stand-alone retailer is right in the middle.

That means that this server is probably going to be well in excess of £10k when they finally ship it with full spec. If they're offering a warranty or support contract, probably around £20k. (Or £30k if they do the trick of simply changing the currency sign on a US dollar amount).
