Left ponder here, and you are correct. I searched high and low after looking at the solution and could find no reference for kippers as sleeping people. I did however find it was UK slang for "amorous" in one place. I went down that rabbit hole for a bit, but found no joy (or love).
However, I did find that kip in UK slang is "a deep state of rest during which your eyes are closed and you become unconscious". Which is about the wordiest way I can imagine to say "sleep".
So, I learned something new today! I'm not sure how useful it'll be, but it is welcome to reside with all the other silly claptrap that is become my brain.

Ah. You're looking for love in all the wrong places![^]

I know the feeling - my brain has got to be approaching the limit for useless claptrap. The worst bit is when you know something, but have no idea how you know, or where you learnt it!

I'm on #255 [3/6] already, but it would be too weird to have two going

I've learned a few things about how thoroughly Microsoft and Google use my GPU while I'm casually messing with my machine.
- When highlighting a tool in the Windows Forms Toolbox
- When scrolling in VS Code
- When displaying GIFs in Chrome
Even a little just typing this. If I stop typing it decreases.
It's amazing how much it spikes too, given this is a 2080ti.
Chrome seems to keep the GPU above idle any time it's the active window in any case.
I like having my little hardware monitor widget. It's entirely useless fun.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I used an LED strip (can't remember which one, it had 10 LEDs) and split the strip (virtually) into two segments, 5 LEDs each to show CPU utilization and memory utilization. Since the LEDs were capable of the full spectrum of color, I wrote an algorithm to take the scale of 0 to 100 and converted into green, yellow, and red, something like:
green: 0-33%
yellow: 33-66%
red: 66-100%
And the # of bars illuminated determined how much of the 33% in the associated range.
Quote: It's entirely useless fun. Yes, quite fun!

Sounds neat! Reminds me that I still miss the little network monitor icon Windows 7 used to have in the taskbar.
