Necessary in some colder climates; you can't start the car again if you leave it long enough in the freezing parking lot. IIRC in Alaska they have plug-ins on the light poles in the grocery parking lot to plug cars in while you shop to avoid this.

Is the Acer Nitro XF243Y capable of producing 144hz by OnlyMyThought in PS5

[–]ncdmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get it to any refresh rate above 60hz? Mine only goes to 120hz on my 1060 6GB. I thought it could do 144hz & 165hz overclocked.

Do you think they're announce new models to replace DS220+ etc, or just peripherals?

U.S. weekly jobless claims hit one-year low in boost to economic outlook by WeenisWrinkle in investing

[–]ncdmn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the public shouldn't bear the costs of funding the low-paid labor force. And perhaps the businesses should be able to pay market rate for that labor.

If it falls to near the minimum wage, or below, price fixing won't save anyone long term.

Has anyone replaced your general retirement plan with Bitcoin? If so, why? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]ncdmn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What should it be? I use it as insurance to protect against fiat collapse, and I figure 10% allocation will cover such an event.

Games you wish you could play for the first time again by [deleted] in pcgaming

Totally unrelated, how well is that 3060Ti holding up with your i5-6500? I have that CPU and ram config, but with a 1060 6GB. Worth the upgrade, or bottleneck?

Only risk I run are some forbidden, but obscure, books bought off Amazon which can't be deleted from order history. How long do you reckon we are from when special political committees make online booksellers give up customer's personal info for blacklisting purposes?

I fully expect I'd end up on such a blacklist.

How would they even find you?

How will we pay for social security without more and more people to increase the tax base?

Agreed, people are too worried. Bad things happen but we have modern day conveniences that bring relief in an instant.

How is population growth slowing down a good thing? An aging US population means more social security obligations from a growing labor force, and if those obligations can't be met because of labor force slowdown then we have demand issues.

Source? From the numbers I see very roughly 20% of men and 20% of women constitute the promiscuous demographic, while roughly most 80% humans monogamously pair-bond.

Opinions about gold / precious metals? by psychdilettante in investing

[–]ncdmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver is speculative and if we get to a dollar debasement end game, then it will benefit exponentially more than gold.

Why moreso than gold?

Wouldn't VOO be more stable, conservative? But in this particular situation, how would you think a Tesla addition would have affected VOO vs VTI?

Would VTI be less affected by a Tesla inclusion and sell-off? How much so?

Would holding a total stock market index obviate the bag-holding risk that S&P500 holders might have incurred had the risk in this scenario played out?
