  1. https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-44a7cfb990feaa6ffe482483df6e4683 The police accounts for 40% of the city's budget.
  2. Sad people and people who cut chains they are not attached to.
  3. I started a new turn based playthrough with a psion, and I'm noticing that my character is a bit slow gathering focus. Is psion a very bad choice for turn based because of this?
  4. If you use only Celsius you'll find that the temperature goes up fewer degrees thus being clearly cooler.
  5. Well the Vega 64 I'm currently using isn't exactly cool either. Yes, I'm here to defend the honor of a GPU that isn't even mine.
  6. I never open the door even when playing demanding games. I don't find heat to be a problem. It is a bit of a dust trap though.
  7. I've also seen the price quoted as 1100 which, don't get me wrong, is insane for a GPU. But when comparing to the current prices for 3080s and 3090s, it's actually good. Assuming it is accurate.
  8. Sure but it is better than a 3090? Other than RTX, anyway.
  9. https://www.antec.com/product/case/p101-silent I bought one of these last year and I am really happy. Quite big and roomy, sturdy, not a window in sight.
  10. The 6750 seems weaker for the price, but the 6950 is great?
  11. George Pérez, another acclaimed comic book artist. Cancer. He was 67.
  12. I'm going to disagree with Gorth. There's a rough rich/poor division in support for the EU. In rich countries, support for the EU among the masses is not high. In poorer countries, however it usually is somewhat higher. This is, of course, entirely selfish. The notion in poorer countries is that the EU helps monetarily. Also, there's a degree of prestige associated with foreign investment. In Portugal, specifically, the left supports the EU. The far right, not so much. The idea in richer countries is, of course, the converse. The population there often feel the EU syphons away money to poorer countries, that would be needed internally. The argument is also put forth that the money is mismanaged in poorer countries. This is not entirely untrue. This is not to say that there are not exceptions. Greece is poor and hates the EU due to the austerity measures from 10 years ago.
  13. Actually Florida.
  14. Every republican is afraid of getting primaried by someone trumpier than them. Voting for abortion would make that very, very easy, and every senator is very aware of that. Same is true of Manchin. Sinema I still don't really get, but she seems to be trying to become the new Manchin.
  15. Not a single Republican would vote to pass such a bill. A couple would maybe "voice concerns." I would be immensely surprised if Sinema and Manchin voted to pass too.
  16. Neal Adams' influence cannot be underestimated. Many of the greatest comics artists that started out in the 70s and 80s, could be said to have begun working as Neal Adams imitators. George Pérez, Gene Day, John Byrne, Bill Sienkiewicz or Alan Davis all owe an enormous debt to Adams. Even today, the artists that pencil in a more "realistic" style are riding Adams' coat tails. It's also astounding the immense gulf in quality between his 60s work and that of his peers. It's an interesting exercise to compare X-Men #55 by Werner Roth, a competent artist in the 60s, with X-men #56 by Neal Adams, both from 1969.
  17. I'm now using a 49" screen at work with windows 10, and having everything in the middle would be kind of a meaningful option, at least.
  18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_you_live_in_interesting_times
  19. This might help.
  20. I assume uncontrolled is in inverted commas for a reason. I went and read the article. He argues that Musk's words are dangerous demagoguery, not backed up by his actions.
