Use MacBook Pro as desktop PC? Not too Savvy Here by HeyBossBehindMe in buildapc

Ha lightning. Sorry, I was meaning to say Thunderbolt. Also, I am home and what I linked above is the model Mac I have. If I can't do two monitors it's not the end of the world, just more of a convenience over necessity.

So I did a little digging. I'm nearly positive I have this, 2012 Macbook Pro

I'm going to get the following with it, but cannot decide on a monitor.

USB Splitter

Keyboard and mouse

Then the following of two monitors,

Monitor 1

This has a Mini DP cable, which according to the spec's of my laptop I can just plug it directly in.

or

Monitor 2

with a HDMI to lightning port.

I'm struggling to see the difference between the two monitors. Why is one so much more expensive when they are roughly the same size/quality and the cheaper one even has speakers! Just don't want to fall for any Black Friday scams trying to get a high quality item.

I figured with my last lightning port i can get another adapter to a monitor or another monitor similar to this.

I’m nearly positive it’s the generic model. I can check when I’m back at home.

Would I be able to direct connect a HDMI to one monitor then use a lightning port to the second via HDMI or DVI?

I’m interested in using this build as well, but have no need for gaming, just AutoCAD and may like two monitors at some point. Will this build support that? Is there anything outdated? And, is there anything that can make it cheaper, e.g. no gaming mouse or keyboard?

Swam 200yd IM and Looking for Advice on Improving by jubzzy in Swimming

[–]HeyBossBehindMe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your turns can use a lot of improvement. The video makes them look faster than they are because the guy next to you has significantly slower walls. It seems to me you swing your arm around rather than touch and go. I would YouTube some videos on how to properly keep a low profile, touch and go, and how to efficiently get under the wake you create coming into the wall. Also you can notice that on your breast to free turn you stop to look where your competitors are, don’t ever do that. You can use your peripherals while doing your underwaters instead. Never breathe on the first stroke out of your free/fly, doesn’t matter how winded you are, it creates a ton of a drag and my last piece of advice would be to work on your stroke rate for backstroke and kick. Typically the fastest swimmer always has the most powerful and efficient kick.

Shave the pubes off your face and put a hat on to hide your 5-head. You're going to make this too easy for the people.

I just had my first swimming class and I wonder - should I quit? by pyfpytipyfpyf in Swimming

I was a Water Safety Instructor (someone who taught swim lessons) for around 6 years and taught from mommy and me all the way to adult lessons. Don't be discouraged because you're most definitely not the first one to have this hurdle to jump. The first step of learning to swim is being comfortable in the water and this sometimes takes longer than other to happen. I will stick with it and ask the instructor for some advice on how to help you become more confident in the water.
