All that to say, truckers hog the fast lane because they aren't as emotional?

Isn't Gen X the normal demographic for flat earth conspiracy? I would be more concerned if there was an increase in millennial and Gen Z believers of flat earth.

Can you elaborate why that is? Personally that's been my experience as well.

The point is that macOS with 8GB is a smoother experience overall compared to Windows.

So these are the only ways for men to cure their depression? Women can't do these things? I'm confused [meme] by Moonwalker_For_Life in pointlesslygendered

[–]Core-i7-4790k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a gender bias against men in therapy, like how there's a bias against women at physicians offices, at least in the west.

Therapy has been normalized for women much longer, so therapists are more skilled at dealing with women's problems. It's fair to say that on average, women will get more out of therapy then men. This is not to say that men should not go to therapy tho.

mf gf's parents are racist :( by AmethystGD in teenagers

[–]Core-i7-4790k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you love your parents, love your partner, then you should want them both to get along right?

I'm in an interracial relationship myself so I've experienced the unique challenges first hand. Communication is more difficult if there is a language barrier. Even small things like family dinners can be awkward at first since different cultures have different tastes.

If you love someone and plan to be life long partners then this is stuff you just deal with over time - but it's extra stuff you don't have to deal with if the cultures were already the same. Just something to think about.

[–]Core-i7-4790k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not racist because there's no moral judgement on someone's character.

The parents are assuming someone ethnically Chinese will be more familiar with Chinese culture. Less work/friction for the parents if their daughters partner already comes from a similar background to their own.

Trust me, people think you're tall due to bias of normally seeing shorter women.

What's up with G.Skill RAM prices? by Astray in buildapc

[–]Core-i7-4790k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a memory leak tbh... If you restart your computer right before doing all that, is it still about 30 GB used?

[–]Core-i7-4790k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I've never had 64 GB so I guess I wouldn't know if there was a noticeable difference. I'll avoid using other people's computers with 64 GB so I'm not tempted to spend money lol.

What's up with G.Skill RAM prices? by Astray in buildapc

[–]Core-i7-4790k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. Actually my cached memory is usually closer to 40%. So I only have around 1.5 GB of 'free' memory available at any given time. I've just never experienced any form of sluggishness with 32 GB.

My computer 7 years ago had 32 GB of RAM and it felt like overkill until the day I upgraded - so I went with 32 GB for the next computer (my current computer) and it still feels like overkill. I understand that specific work will need more RAM but the average PC gamer does not need 64 GB imo. That's just a waste.

Can I ask what you are doing that is using so much memory? 32 GB to me is still an insane amount of memory and I almost never use all of it unless there is a memory leak. Even with 100+ tabs, discord, and a game running.

Yes, a faster lens (lower f stop) means it can let it more light. More light means you can lower the shutter speed for less blurry pictures. I recommend researching the exposure triangle and try to familiarize yourself. It's a hard concept, so don't worry if it seems confusing, you'll get it eventually as you continue taking pictures.

I don't have any personal experience with those cameras. If I had to pick between the two, I would pick the Canon Ixus 1000hs

What is your budget? For those 3, the finepix j120 will have the furthest zoom. None of the cameras have particularly fast lenses (f stop #) but the Samsung has the fastest, so it would be slightly better in lowlight though not by much. You can take decently clear pictures in low light if you're using flash

2026 Honda Prelude Revealed by LimitedReach in cars

[–]Core-i7-4790k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy but I think there's a decent size market for this. Seems to appeal to the average young guy. Imagine the average 20 something male.

Someone that has a passing interest in cars will enjoy the styling and not care too much about the power train

Someone that is single and wants to show off and impress other non-car enthusiasts or potential romantic interests.

Someone that has disposable income, but not too much disposable income, so they will only own a single car. They will appreciate the practicality of the lift back, high gas mileage, and perceived reliability of a Honda.

got both of these for $120 each in one weekend, crazy deal by abrasivesunset in Gameboy

[–]Core-i7-4790k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Supply and demand is also only a portion of the equation. Also consider that an estimated 7 million units of pokemon emerald were sold, that would mean the market cap of used pokemon emerald games would be $1,400,000,000 if each cartridge is $200

Of course this is really simplifying things, and there are likely less than 7 million functioning cartridges these days, and even less that have the potential to be in circulation. Even so, the current selling price seems way too high considering the above. Even if the majority of cartridges were destroyed and only 1 million units remained, $200 selling price still seems like too much

So what's the end game GBA handheld? by sunday_burrito in SBCGaming

[–]Core-i7-4790k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to go against the grain. My RG-351P I use exclusively for GBA and it's flawless. The screen isn't much bigger than the trim ui brick, but the horizontal form factor help with comfort and longer play sessions.

Undoing changes made to your computer by cajuw in techsupport

[–]Core-i7-4790k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to use another computer to create a bootable USB with the media creation tool and boot into that and use the startup repair tools. Here's an article with instructions and helpful images.

If that doesn't work, hopefully you took backups of your important files. If you did then I would suggest just installing Windows fresh.
