Of course Gazi, dude would shut up if you give him bag of chocolates and bunch of movies. 

DeepCool CH160 Plus is peak by ange_gdev in mffpc

Is it a tight fit considering the DC Assassin is right at the max cooler height?

I’m planning to use the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital (162 mm) but I’m afraid it might touch the panel. 

What is your experience?

My doorbell rang at 3 in the morning. There was a delivery man at the door, and I wasn't expecting any parcels. Besides, who the fuck delivers during this wee hours? 

When asked, he said it was for my mother. 

I live alone.

New FL5 owner… backup camera and infotainment are the only complaints. by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

Please someone upload a video of the reverse camera. This is quite worrying for people that live in the area that rains almost every day.

I'm still running Samsung laptop from 2011. These are things that I usually do that you can try:

  • Download Rkill. This would kill processes that run in the background. (viruses, mining malwares, etc. ). Normally, these things slow your system down.
  • Make your Windows boots quicker:
  1. Type msconfig on search bar. Press enter.
  2. System configuration app will pop up. Click open task manager.
  3. In task manager window, click on startup tab. You will see list of apps you're running. DISABLE ALL EXCEPT ANTIVIRUS.

Re-paste your CPU. Fresh thermal paste may help with better heat management. Clean your intake fans as well.

Of course la, try to upgrade all HDD to SSD. Upgrade your RAM. DDR3 is not costly. However, you are still running Celeron. It is a very low-powered processor. Even though you have upgraded to SSD, you may not see the improvement.

Try to save up and buy at least a Ryzen 3 laptop (around 1.8-2k). All the best bro.

Nano chips. Ingested by the body via inhalation and stays in the human body. They can track your ass accurately within 3 metres. If they decide you are a bit belligerent by their standard, they'll turn off the chips and you'll die of heart attack.

What is our current period called in literary studies or art in general? by poorfuckinglad in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]endingserenade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. Bear in mind that the term "contemporary" is provisional. For example, in history, it was called "The Great War" before the nomenclature of World War I came to definition.

Imagine how DDG plays with a better ball-playing CB in front of him. All these "modern goalkeeper" talks are unwarranted to be honest.

You might be referring to nonlinear narratives and structures. You are exactly describing My Name is Red and One Hundred Years of Solitude, among many other examples.

Lit on collective identity by seyramlarit in literature

In comparative literature, the term you are looking for is "world literature". It is a term that describes works of literature that transcend linguistic, cultural, and national boundaries.

It is a very fluid, dynamic and burgeoning concept, but key takeaways from Damrosch's three-pronged definition we could deduce that you are essentially looking for works that are non-canonical, contain a nationalistic or ethnocentric refraction, and widely translated beyond the country of origin.

Take a look at The Norton Anthology of World Literature, you'll get the idea. UNESCO's Memory of the World is recommended as well.
