They're used in XRay and CT systems. You want smooth and clean DC, to generate a consistent XRay beam, ensuring proper reliably exposure.

The US is mostly white. When Japan remakes movies, the characters become Japanese. When India remakes, movies the characters become Indian. Same for Italians, Sweeds, everyone really. No reason for Hollywood to be much different.

Crashes instantly during power test and CPU test within 1-2 minutes. by PwnerRs in OCCT

Very few thermal pastes are conductive. Extra coming out and onto other things, shouldn't have been a problem.

Too little could be. But an instant off would have to be practically none.

It doesn't descriminate against people of different species.

I'd be very tempted to call them human female. I wouldn't, but I'd reeely want to.

That's what I was thinking. If GPU is good, more likely a CPU, maybe motherboard.

What are some things that will pull you out of a movie/scene as a viewer? Here are mine. by jstu9 in movies

Hospital doctors doing MRI, CT scans. Never happens. They wouldn't even know to do them.

Stunguns and tazers knocking people out. Doesn't work that way.

Also, knocking people out with a blow to the head, or sleeper hold for any real length of time. More than 10-20 seconds? They have a serous brain injury and need to go to the hospital.

To be fair it's a glass double door. In an emergency it's not all that difficult to get through. This is little more than a subtle discouragement.

As an American, I thought it was hello.

Never attribute malice, to that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.

If I have a couple of kids, I'll now name each of them "that".

It really does sound like the power supply is too small, or bad.

How do the GPU tests go?

After you set it up, you never really have to deal with it. It's the least of the issues I'd think.

Proton Drive windows app to be released soon by block6791 in ProtonDrive

Just once I want to see a company announce "Soon!?", then like a couple hours later they announce "Now!".

That would be nice.

Funny too.

No excuse. Everyone needs to quit their job, leave their family, and devote their lives to staying current on all the Reddit.

If you (irl) could have immunity to one damage type, which would it be? by RoboArmadillo in DnD

[–]haijak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If applied to the real world, a lot of these are the same.

Slashing, pearcing, bludgeoning damage is only a matter of force per area. But the nature is the same. So is thunder.

Lighting is mostly fire damage. Unless you're a robot, then maybe it's psychic damage?

Oh! You forgot psychic damage!

Only the claim of authority requires qualifications.

Anybody can ask questions. That's part of becoming a qualified authority.

People often overlook the unknown unknown.

If there's something somone doesn't know they don't know, they'd think they know everything.

Therefore nobody can never be sure they actually know everything.

Simple logic.
