I've no strong feelings about AMD Vs nvidia, other than what you have roughly lined out.

I've heard rumblings from other more hardcore hardware benchmark nerds that AMD don't seem to have any real desire to push for more market share in the discrete desktop GPU market anymore, and are instead focussing more on their integrated GPUs in other third party devices. Which if they do slowly abandon the desktop GPU market you can expect support for them to only get worse as time goes on.

But I will say if you're worried about the hardware lottery, don't get an ASUS manufactured card currently. Their policies have shifted in the last couple years and now their idea of an RMA repair is either to straight up lie to you and charge for the pleasure, or telling you to shove the defective hardware up your ass and get fucked.

"She"? I know real women can sometimes have man jaw and broad shoulders, but the odds are more in favor of troon these days. Plus that is some drag queen extreme levels of makeup

Edit - nevermind she's all up in the terf wars in her peak engagement tweets. No wonder too, it's must be personal when you're the only kind of women the troons can successfully impersonate.

It's a random and old one but it's not spam, important note given the spammers lately.

The argument does fail on a core premise for me though. Gentrification/touristification is absolutely not for the greater good, even by purely utilitarian reasons.

They even touch on why not briefly but don't fully explore the implications. The tourists and gentry already have somewhere to belong. By making it more accessible for the masses but less accessible for the current outcasts they aren't increasing the number of people who belong, because the masses already had somewhere to be and you can't be in two places at once. You're just uprooting people for no good reason other than their "betters" decided they wanted a taste of their lunch and kicked them off the table they made, to eat the food they made. All whilst leaving armed guards around their own plate of cake they were eating before, because they still want to have and eat that too.

Just give everyone who's been here at least 2-3 years mod powers

Brother, you needn't bother with such trifles. I've been lurking on this username since halfkia in 2014, with receipts. And even before that I'd been telling games journos they were pathetic hacks, online and in person, as a hobby of mine since at least 2010 before I created this silo'd username.

Let a true old guard become your benevolent military dictator and you can witness the crushing of trolls, shills and spambots with extreme prejudice for as long as a popularly voted, predetermined, term of service lasts, ending in mandatory de-modding. No ban shall exceed that temporary term of service as an added precaution.

I pledge to secure our borders with a zealousness you could only dream neocon grifters would do.

Honestly I'd trust Smith far more than Lethn, Smith is even keeled and obviously principled, that's good for no drama or trouble. Lethn can be a little emotional and obviously has beef with some users.

Then again, I wouldn't wish that thankless job on such a nice guy either.

That's generally the right approach.

But it's also hard for obviously absentee mods to even notice the trouble free long-term users.

At some point some of the other regular users have to start naming names to make choices.

This woman : "Men need to make gaming a safer space"

This woman 5 seconds later : "No woman is saying you need to make gaming a safer space for them"

They lie as easily as they breathe. More easily if you include not mouth breathing.

Now do animals and homosexuals

They already are, that's why there's so many diseases.

According to their own stats only about 11% of their eligible staff used it on any given month. They don't say how many days they give off but I'll just guess 2 as a middle ground. I'm also not working out differences between a 28 day cycle and calender month, or odds they fall on a weekend, so this is really approximate.

But (0.11*2)/28 means they're only missing about 1% of their working hours on average.

That 15-20% longer might be true, but it's not going to by the menstrual leave alone, it'll be by other woman bullshit.

Another one is a game about a former assassin who becomes a monk but has to kill his former employer who comes to hunt him down. I can't remember the name of the game, it's an isometric hack-and-slash shooter. The developers are Eastern European, so of course it's a competently made game. They're working on another similar game that looks really awesome, but I also can't remember the name of it.

It sounds like you're talking about Redeemer. I remember it being alright, solid but kind of bland.

Yeah, a couple of days off for carrying the whole household whilst his partner uselessly whimpers and rages seems fair if they're giving the women days off for tummy aches.

You're misunderstanding the core concept here. I'm not saying mRNA spontaneously becomes healthy, fully-functional non-coding RNA units. I'm saying if you force a huge number of random RNA sequences in there some of them might be just the right structure to foul the functions non-coding RNA normally perform.

It's not throwing a bunch of car parts into a tornado and getting a fully functional car. It's throwing a bunch of random screws and metal shapes into an automated production line and having the production line grind to a halt or even start producing defective units.

For example, randomly cleave the poly A end off an mRNA, and over-methylate the guanosine (enzymatically not easy to do by accident, but chemically it is, such as when you're trying to form a nanolipid delivery capsule under conditions completely atypical for normal biological systems.) and you could have something that looks enough like snRNA that it could potentially mess with transcription or transcription regulation in unforeseen ways.

Not so much the comics themselves but the character. Batman is still a staple of kids' toy sections and costumes.

It's not even the primary reason why. It's because the truth matters most, not whatever bullshit narrative fits the propaganda best.

Structurally they're the same building blocks, the difference in definitions is by outcome not structure. It's just what other structures they are keyed to interact with by the specifics of their sequence.

When it comes to hastily man-made analogues with dubious stability and an indeterminable number of unintended byproduct and partially broken sequences mixed in, having some unintended interactions similar to non-coding RNA is eminently possible.

The absolute delusion/deceit of these lunatics pretending DC has a problem specifically with Batman going down on a woman, rather than them having a problem with any kind of explicit sex scenes with their character heavily marketed towards children. They might allow implied sexual encounters, but if you want to create a screen cap of two fucking bat ears poking up between some woman's thighs they're probably gonna say no chief.

Them greenlighting an R-rated show under supervision doesn't mean carte blanche to take their character and roll him up in whatever depravity you want.

Now I can't discount what was said in the first sentence I wasn't there and certainly can't validate or verify those incidents - but it could happen.

That one message says it over 5 times. Personally I'm quite prepared to believe she can't count past 5.

My god that coconut woman talks so slow, listening to her is like taking a nail gun to the frontal cortex. That's the bigger crime than some stupid placard.

Turns out he also live streamed trying to sneak into North Korea this week.

This is the least amount of finding out this forgotten abortion could have acquired. The SK military should have pretended not to notice and let the finding out hit full speed instead of stopping him.

This isn't really news to anyone in biology, most of the discoveries listed here are a decade or more old. Non-coding RNA and epigenetics have been obvious black boxes for a while, hence all these actual scientists searching for and slowly finding answers to some of these unknowns over the last couple of decades.

But pop-sci publications and public-facing "experts" have conspicuously glossed over these potential unknowns, because it diminishes a priest's influence to simply say "I don't know".
