Excellent argument for having a large number of small RAM sticks, rather than just one or two big ones… If one fails, it’s less of a loss that way.

The lower the pay, the harder the work. The higher the pay, the easier the work. That’s been my experience.

Only place it really hurts you is on a dating profile.
And in that case, you’re supposed to just lie about it, duh. If you’re at least 5’6", just round that up to 6’. 9/10 times, she won’t notice the difference, and it won’t come up until well after you’re in an established relationship, and by then she won’t want to leave you just because of your height, if she even remembers you claiming to be 6’ in the first place.
Mostly, the only girls who will notice are girls who are tall themselves – they’ll notice that they’re taller than you are. So, sorry, even though tall girls are great, you short kings out there will be missing out on them. But, still, lying will work great most of the time.

I also put the blame on developers focusing on the console version first, then just porting that to a PC version as little more than an afterthought. Often, the game could work far, far better on PC if they’d made it for PC in the first place.
I understand why they do it. They want to reach the largest market possible, and the performance gap means it’s possible do console --> PC port with minimal changes, but doing a PC --> console port would require a massive effort in optimization to get it to run smoothly on the limited console hardware. But I do wish they’d spend a little more effort optimizing things for PC.

Yeah … up to a point, at least, FPS really does make a performance difference.
I used to think it didn’t. But then I came back to one of my favorite old games now on a rig that can play it at 4k 60fps … and the difference is tangible. I was finally able to 100% the game, beating the toughest levels on the highest, most absurd difficulty settings … and I didn’t even really find it that difficult. I’d been playing the same game for years and years on my other computer with lower resolution and lower FPS, and I never came close to being able to complete those toughest challenges. But a hardware upgrade let me actually complete it for the first time ever. And now I’m a believer, at least to a point.
I’m still pretty sure it’s a very ‘diminishing returns’ type situation when you get much above 60fps, though. At some point, increases in computer performance are going to translate less and less to increases in player performance.

Okay, but horror movies are, by and large, hilarious.
It’s why I can never get into horror.
Either it fails at being horror and is – at best – unintentionally funny, or it succeeds in making me scared. Either way, I have a bad experience.

Bigger pot, bigger burner. Smaller pot, smaller burner. It’s not complicated – just use the one that best matches the size of the cookware you’re using.

Also I bet a lot of them actually suck ass.
Adjusted for inflation, the price of things like a washing machine is now far lower than they once were.
Partly that’s because of efficiency of manufacture. But largely it’s because manufacturers are cheaping out in a race to the bottom, because they know the price tag is one of the most important things consumers look at when buying a new appliance.
You can still buy expensive appliances that last forever, mostly in the form of commercial/industrial units. But be prepared to spend 10x more on it.

The cops would still need a reference photo to compare to though and they aren’t getting into my house for that shit.
That’s not what it’s for.
The purpose of this is to take your social media post of you standing with a gun and a sign that says ‘all cops must die’, and then using the background of that photo to identify and locate your house.

Yeah … all the other instructions were for a single straight line. Having step 6 here be a line with an angled bend in it (basically two lines) really needs to be clarified if that’s the case.
Still says nothing at all about the length and proportions of these lines, though, so there’s still plenty of opportunity to fuck it up:
- Comment on What I Imagine Taylor Swift Fans Eat 1 week ago:
When you’re actually working out a lot, you need carbs … especially starchy, long-lasting carbs.
And not just to have energy to burn during your workout, either. Rebuilding muscle requires protein to supply the building blocks, yes, but it also requires energy to assemble those building blocks together.
A diet tuned for a rigorous workout regimen needs both protein and carbs.

Followed the instructions as exactly as I could manage, though the
then give it a roof coming down to that top right (another triangle)part is very confusing. You start at the top left there because you just ‘closed the box by going left’. Going to the top right would retrace the line exactly and wouldn’t create a triangle.
