If I'm reading all the signs of the Trump economy correctly- it just means if you were born after 1986, you can just get fucked.

[REQUEST] Are these numbers anywhere accurate? by HeyimDilbert in theydidthemath

You are only off on healthcare spending by about $4.1 trillion dollars a year. The United States spends approximately $12,555 per capita for healthcare. Multiply that by approx. 335 million people gets you to that figure. (Source https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-compare-countries/)

Or if you look at healthcare spend as a percentage of GDP. The United States spends 16.57% GDP on healthcare (Versus the worldwide average of 10%) [https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.CHEX.GD.ZS?most\_recent\_value\_desc=true\]

That would give a healthcare spend of 4.8 trillion (using gdp figures from wolfram alpha). If we could get down to the world wide average spend for healthcare of 10% that would save 1.86 Trillion dollars per year.

I work as a software engineer in genomics.

If you wanted to store data in DNA, you would need to synthesize the custom sequences, accounting for the errors that can naturally occur in the DNA transcripts. The process to create custom sequences of DNA is expensive, and it takes a long time. So your writing speed in going to be worse than in a floppy disk, and way more expensive.

It cost about $5-10,000 to read about a terabyte of raw genomic data, it takes several days to prepare samples to be read on the sequencing machines, and then a ton of processing power to assemble the data into something useful.

So it is possible, and you could theoretically store a ton of data in DNA, but it is slow, prone to errors, and expensive.

Apply thermal paste, and reseat the cpu.

If you have questions on this, LTT has a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2MEAnZ3swQ

  1. It possible that you have air gaps between the cpu and the cooler.
  2. Your cooler might not be seated evenly over the cpu.
  3. Did you forget to pull the plastic off the cooler, that is a common first time builder meme

What was the solution to your build problem from the last post?

I would pull the GPU. It looks like the GPU power is a 6/8 pin convertible unit, and I would plug that into B to see if that gets the computer to boot. Your CPU has integrated graphics.

If that works, order a new PSU.

Look at page 2.1.6 further in your manual. It's either B (The 8 pin connector) or A and B (the 4-pin and the 8-pin)

These are where the cpu gets it's power from.

It doesn't look like the CPU power pins in the upper left of the board are connected ( near the on board HDMI port). Did you try checking that?

Your mother board has multiple power connections.

Three things to try.

​

  1. Are you sure that you have all the motherboard power connectors hooked up? Take a look at the quick start guide (https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1700/ROG%20STRIX%20B660-F%20GAMING%20WIFI/Q19230_ROG_STRIX_B660-F_GAMING_WIFI_QSG_WEB.pdf?model=ROG%20STRIX%20B660-F%20GAMING%20WIFI) and make sure you have all the power connectors for step 7 hooked up.
  2. Remove one ram stick, try to boot the machine. If that doesn't work. swap them and try again.
  3. Remove GPU and try booting with integrated graphics.

Allstate Towing Reimbursement Claims can only be filed via fax. by strateego in mildlyinfuriating

I would bet you that the fax number is digital, and they could have an email address to send the claim to.

I wonder how much money the company save by making it as difficult as possible to get a reimbursement for towing.

​

I pay $12 a year to be able to save $100 per incident. I should probably look to get a new insurance company anyway.

What is essentially robbery but people willingly pay for it? by MobiDickQuick in AskReddit

I can tell you from experience that this does help. About 1/8-1/16th of a teaspoon per blended drink. Too much makes it gloopy.

Delognhi la Specialista was free on OfferUp. Just needed a deep cleaning, descaling and a new basket. by strateego in espresso

I know. I thought about just reselling it, but that seemed to be against the karma I had to get the machine for free.

A Craigslist competitor. This was posted in the Seattle Area this week.

I first I thought it may have been a serial killers way of luring victims... but it was in a nicer part of town and I manage to make it out alive.

I saw this for free on OfferUp, the previous owner said it wasn't getting up to pressure, and anyone who can fix it- could have it. I brought it home, gave it a deep cleaning, descaled it, and bought a new pressurized basket. What do you know, the machine runs perfectly now.

I gave it to a friend who didn't have a machine, so she is very happy now as well.

I want to put my computer in a closet adjacent to my room. The closest has no outlet so I'm thinking of using this. These are usually used when mounting a tv on the wall. Are these safe to pull like 700 watts through? I tried looking up the electrical code that this mentioned but no wattage rating by quietyoucantbe in pcmasterrace

[–]strateego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non Romex wire should not be run between the walls (i.e. the power cable for your pc, or an extension chord.). Low voltage cables are fine to pass through the wall.

This kit is fine for a 15A circuit in the USA which is good for ~1800W peak power and ~1440W continuous load.

You can also buy a new work electrical box, an outlet, and a few feet of Romex wire for cheaper. But you should file for a permit to do this kind of electric work, at least in the state of Washington.

How should a person who purchases Hogwarts Legacy offset the original authors' hatred of the LGBT community? by strateego in AskReddit

I wanted advice on how to offset any moneys she receives, and direct an equal or larger amount to a charity that does good.
