It’s because high end Intel chips have been eating themselves, not because x3d chips are better for gaming…

Typically, yes, since they are meant to be more “modular” in nature and let you sync up 4-5. But I’m not familiar with all the varieties of commercial cards out there and didn’t want to dismiss the possibility of a longer one existing.

But I don’t know if any consumer card that is so big only one or two cases fit it. Sure, some of them are so big that you need a fairly large case, but for example the ASUS 5090 Astral is one of the larger 5090s, and is 358mm long. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB case can fit a GPU up to 455mm in length. The Lian Li Lancool 217 (a case on the medium to smaller side for full ATX) can fit up to 380mm in length. Tight, but not 1mm tight. The Fractal Design Meshify 2 (ATX case, not mini) can fit up to 445mm in length with the front fans in place.

Unless the comment poster is specifically looking for SFF cases, I don’t know what is causing the difficulty.

Although, clearance for GPU height is becoming more of an issue, so that might be what is referred to for the 1mm clearance. In that case, there are still options out there but it is much more difficult and some require vertical mounting.

Edit: changed OP to comment poster and added caveat

Honestly, this is 100% the solution for this problem, especially for sharing with a child.

Now, the issue of having a “license” and rights to play a game, vs actually owning the game is still a valid point of contention.

What card? Because there should be plenty of options with more clearance for even 4090 and 5090s. Unless it’s a special commercial card like the A series?

The microwave, because my roommates insist on having a model that beeps every 30 seconds after it finishes cooking so you don’t forget you had food in there. They still forget, though. It just gets on my nerves while I try to wash some dishes while waiting for the microwave to finish, or if I’m using it as part of prepping while cooking.

The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.

If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.

Perhaps the gravity head should be a snail then

Usually convenience if you’re on a computer and already have a browser open.

But even then half the time I pull my phone out to use the calculator app instead. And I don’t think I’ve ever used a browser as a calculator while on my phone.

I got divorced from a 10+ year relationship in my late 20s, and then had a nasty, bad breakup from my first relationship after at 30. I had a small group of friends that stuck around, but lost many in the process of each breakup.

I never really kept in touch with people from highschool and earlier, though, so I can’t comment on them

Things do get better. At 35 I’m now in a better relationship than I ever had before. I have new friends and new circles. A new chapter in my life was started, and things are better than they ever have been before.

I don’t know if this will work for you, maybe it doesn’t work out sometimes. But guys can, and do, recover from it.

If you were a non-steam gamer you’d have a little extra work cut out for you, but steam literally runs natively

Yeah, “weeds” are contextual to what and where the plant is. Of course it’s a made up concept, it’s not a classification of a type of plant, just a description of a plant you don’t want in a certain spot.

I heard it in his voice before I even read “Syndrome”. Idk, maybe I saw the name and my subconscious recognized it before I was aware of reading it, but it fits him too well

.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time

Until this comment, I legit thought they meant “is Hunt: Showdown ready or not on Linux”. I wish putting quotes or using italics on titles was more common

When I was younger, maybe 8-10, I was at the beach with my family. I had always been a strong swimmer, we went to this beach fairly often, there were plenty of people around, and always had lifeguards on duty. It wasn’t stormy or bad weather at all.

I was swimming on my own when I got stuck in the undertow of the waves. I remember getting pulled back about 6 feet underwater before I was able to surface again. By that point, I was hit by the next wave, knocking me over and back into the undertow. This repeated for what felt like an hour but was probably only around 5 minutes, maybe 10. I was anxiously looking for lifeguards and trying to signal for help anytime I was on the surface, but no one ever noticed me.

My grandmother had taught me what to do if I ever got stuck in the waves, though, and instead of trying to fight the current I just started riding it and swimming parallel to the shore. I eventually got back to the beach and walked back to my family, and I remember it being so much longer to get back that seemed reasonable.

I was sure I was going to drown, getting sucked out and down under the ocean.

They aren’t suggesting using a grease pencil as a better alternative to a graphite pencil, they are saying that the Russian cosmonauts used grease pencils before moving to a pressurized pen.

You don’t need to say “no thanks” to it, no one is suggesting using it. The first comment was ambiguous, but your response to this one is just baffling.

For two and three, even if there weren’t a genetic component, the lifestyle and dietary habits of a family absolutely do impact the next generation of the family. Learned behaviors that increase the risk of alcoholism or heart disease absolutely count as “runs in the family”. Further, “runs in the family” never meant “everyone in the family absolutely has it”.

(None of this directed to the comment I’m replying to, just continuing the thought of the comment.)

Or the third option of they recognize that scientifically Pluto is a dwarf planet and no longer a ‘full’ planet, but they also anthropomorphize everything to an unhealthy degree and don’t want to hurt the feelings of Pluto by saying it isn’t a planet anymore

Maybe that works for internal and business communications, but if it is communication externally with clients there are a lot of people that just don’t answer their phone. Sometimes it is important stuff, and sometimes there are followup questions.

“XYZ is no longer available. Would you like ABC instead?
How many of ABC would you like?”
