We might need a bit more context for why you want to do this. Because as far as I can think, I can’t really come up with a reasonable circumstance in which you might want to use an eGPU on a PC

Primer, if you like hard sci-fi. It’s an indie movie about time travel, and it’s got perhaps the most fleshed out time travel mechanic out of all movies I’ve seen. Last I checked, the director posted the full movie on YouTube for free

No point in being doomer about it. We try whatever we need to in order to get the population to understand.

And for what it’s worth, it kind of makes sense. Science communication is generally quite poor. Scientists aren’t trained in PR or in communicating with the public. To some extent, it makes sense that the public doesn’t understand. In the longer term, it would certainly be better to raise scientific literacy. In the short term, we simply need quippy talking points that can be repeated to get the message to stick.

Are you confusing fahrenheit and Celsius? Body temp can’t cook food

Heavily context dependent, I’d say. In a vacuum, it’s not that unusual. The entire purpose of text is that you don’t have to respond immediately. If it happens constantly, then maybe it would have been worth figuring out why that keeps happening. Maybe he dislikes you, or maybe he’s just busy.

It seems you already understand that, though. So perhaps the more informative question is why you feel the way that you feel towards your ex. Frankly, it’s probably some level of infatuation (or as I call it, puppy love). It’s not intrinsically bad, but it does tend to drive people to have unrealistic expectations for their partners, which can drive conflict once those expectations become established

I struggled with your exact same problem when I moved to Linux. For the record, the reason why there isn’t a Program Files x86 is because the way that Linux stores programs is different from the way that Windows stores programs. Windows sorts its system files by programs, so that the configuration, launcher, and software files are all together. Linux sorts by file type, so that the configuration files of all programs are together, the launchers of all programs are together, etc.

What I’ve come to learn is, don’t bother trying to find your application in the folder. The best way to install things is through Discover (or whatever GUI software manager you’re using). If the program you want isn’t there, it’s basically a crapshoot whether installing from the internet will work or not

I’m unsure what you mean by switches, since all mechanical keyboards use switches.

Regardless, if you’re looking for a relatively cheap, good quality mechanical keyboard, I’d probably recommend you check out Keychron. They’ve got a lot of options and they’re all decent quality for a decent price, so you could probably find something you want in their catalog

Sure, but the overall intent holds true. Not just in professional settings, it’s important to have the skill to reframe a negative comment into a positive one.

This is probably what I would say:

It sounds like you’ve got everything you need for the meeting. Would it still make sense for me to attend?

If that’s the case, then I think I’d be more useful handling some other tasks in the meantime. Please keep me updated on the outcome of the meeting

I use Reddit through Relay and it’s gone now. Even if I want to use Reddit, I have to jump through hoops to use it.

To me, it’s a way to quantify how other people feel about my own positions. It’s neither good nor bad to be upvoted or downvoted. People have unpopular takes sometimes and you shouldn’t stake your identity on the amount of upvotes or downvotes you have.

Instead, upvotes and downvotes are most useful for other people to guage comments. Generally speaking, if a comment is universally downvoted, that likely means the position is unpopular enough that it adds no value to a discussion, and is therefore not worth engaging with.

I consider it to be a system built upon mutual understanding - that you don’t have to seriously engage with everyone’s viewpoints, and conversely, that nobody has to seriously engage with yours.

It becomes a problem when upvotes and downvotes are gamified like on Reddit, because Goodhart’s Law demands that it stops serving its purpose when people are only attempting to optimize their upvote/downvote ratio.

It doesn’t get crispy, but on the other hand, less microplastics on your food, so that’s a fine trade anyways.

Pro tip: microwave for half the microwave time, then bake for half the baking time. That reproduces the original crispiness without the sleeve

Funny you bring up eel reproduction. Had to share. https://youtu.be/TzN148WQ2OQ

Have you never seen a bottle brush? If not, get one. It’ll change your life

First, make sure you’re never alone with her. It’s important to have someone be able to vouch for you that nothing bad happened. Even if it’s not her intention, rumors spread and mutate in the most unexpected ways, and you’ll want to make sure you’re in the clear if it ever comes to pass that people start to suspect that you are having a relationship with her.

Second, you’ll want to speak with her. Make it clear that you are serious and that this is a serious talk. Whenever you see her next, just say something like “we need to have a talk.” Might be cliche, but the cliche aspect of it reinforces the serious nature of it IMO, since most people already associate that phrase with something serious.

You don’t need to be rude, but you need to be very clear where you stand on the matter. Make it clear that 1) you are not in a relationship with her, 2) you do not wish to be in a relationship with her, 3) you don’t appreciate her saying that you’re in a relationship with her. With talks of this nature, there’s no point beating around the bush. She may be temporarily hurt, but there is a difference between being hurt due to rejection and hurt due to injustice. She will come to appreciate the honesty in time.

The thought has never crossed my mind, and it would have never crossed the minds of anyone I know. I have no urge to cheat and neither does my partner. I have generally thought that it’s a very unusual and uncommon phenomenon for someone to cheat, and I find it surprising how many people here think otherwise

I don’t think you seem to have any problems, but it sounds like your partner may have some things that they’ll need to work out.

People are creatures of habit - while it is true that your partner is being an asshole, I currently don’t have any reason to believe that they’re doing it out of malice rather than habit.

It sounds like your partner may need to seek professional help, because it is their responsibility to manage their ADD/depression, and it sounds like they may be struggling to do that. It is not your responsibility to manage it for them

This is an unnecessarily rude comment that just proves that the parent comment was right in saying that you’re an unpleasant person. I hope you reconsider what behavior you consider to be acceptable

Thunder feels most similar to Relay, which is what I used for Reddit. Honestly, I get the feeling that all of the apps are pretty polished and are customizable enough that you can make one look exactly like the others

Eating is also a really big factor for the body’s circadian clock. Not sure what your lifestyle is like, but I would try to avoid eating anything when it’s late.

Interestingly enough, autism is also noted to affect the circadian clock, so it seems like medical and psychological conditions can exert an influence too.

And it could be entirely possible that you are simply a night owl. I just find it disingenuous that some people would use the circadian clock as a way to justify poor sleep habits, especially if they have habits that disrupt their circadian clock. It kind of dilutes the struggles of actual night owls

Amusing thought, but doesn’t really make sense biologically. Your body doesn’t know your geographical location. It just reads the environmental time using a bunch of different inputs and guesses at what the actual time is. Your body is actually fairly good at guessing the time, but people are just naturally predisposed to sleep later or earlier.

That tendency is influenced by genetics and also changes over time with age, but I also heavily suspect that people are actually just messing up their circadian clocks without knowing it. Try dimming your lights after sunset, you’d be surprised by how early you get tired.
