[@NGC-qm1so]

chemistry, the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes. Every substance, whether naturally occurring or artificially produced, consists of one or more of the hundred-odd species of atoms that have been identified as elements. Although these atoms, in turn, are composed of more elementary particles, they are the basic building blocks of chemical substances; there is no quantity of oxygen, mercury, or gold, for example, smaller than an atom of that substance. Chemistry, therefore, is concerned not with the subatomic domain but with the properties of atoms and the laws governing their combinations and how the knowledge of these properties can be used to achieve specific purposes.

@@IronIsKing that my guy is a total lie, 1,300 dollars is expensive, I only saw a single seller selling it for less than a 1,000. Best chance for getting anything new at a decent price is to find it in stock in store somewhere (unlikely, was at a Micro center the other day and the only Nvidia GPUs they had were MSI 1050 Ti's, though they did have quite a few in stock 6000 series AMD GPUs, and a single 6900xt ) or an older card off the used market that is still capable (GTX 1080, 1080 Ti, 1070, 980 Ti, R9 390 Fury to name a few that are pretty decent for the price on ebay ) but with those there come other risks. That was the path I was going to take while making my new build but we got super lucky and found an RX 6600 non-xt for msrp. Also having the R9 390 in the used list might be a bit controversial but you have to remember that while it's actual GPU performs like a 1070 or 1060 most of the time you can't forget the thing has a whole 8GB GDDR5, at least if you look for that version, although if I was looking for a card I'd still go for a 1070.

[@pr0xZen]

@4:05 Nicole, this is important. That there is known as a SLAP lesion. In your case, that's a partial or even a full labrum detachment. That will never "heal" on its own, it will only get worse until fixed through surgery. The good news is, arthroscopic labrar repair is day surgery, meaning you go home the same day. The less good news is, you'll effectively "have" just one arm for 8 weeks, wear your arm in a sling for 8-12 weeks, and a full, like-new recovery time including training is 4-6 months. You need to get that fixed. And with the weeks of recovery time and need for help in doing many everyday tasks, I would _highly_ advice getting it done now while you're (still) living with family. If you can, get it done now during the pandemic, so you can process the recovery while our lives are still under "reduced activity". And if you're right-handed, start trying to use your left hand for work and daily life stuff ASAP, and make some things more one-hand friendly if you can - it's gonna be really hard to sort that stuff out if you put all of those things off until after the surgery, and then have to learn to fly after jumping out of the plane. If you have the option of choice, find a an experienced orthopedic surgeon specializing in athlete injuries (this is a quite common injury in sports so that surgeon will likely have hundreds of these under her/his belt already. I had the same injury and neglected it for years, got the surgery done, but my shoulder will likely stay painful and a bit rough because the years of neglect caused permanent deformation of the joint socket. Don't be like me. Don't put it off, or believe it will heal on its own. Doing that was a big mistake. Best of luck, I wish you a speedy recovery. It will tske some time and frustration, but it's absolutely worth it 😊

[@doka-l7v]

This person is right. They can stay at that "Oh this sucks but it's not that bad" level for years and then one wrong movement and you're in a world of hurt until you can get surgery. It's better to just get the surgery sooner and give yourself a better chance of full recovery. Source: Lived it.

This was actually incredibly well thought out, case incompatibility aside. There's plenty of sense made with the choice of upgrades, but also some personal flair like the white-on-black theme and the Gundam monitor.

[@ultrarandom]

Having recently been looking for white monitors for my fiance, that Gundam monitor is the only high quality white one out there. Wound up going with a Titan Army 32" curved one (rejected Samsung VA panels) for her since we weren't wanting to go that extreme currently and it works well, there's just not much variety in terms of white monitors, especially in my country.

@@ultrarandom This. Yeah the Gundam-theme is kinda more expensive than the regular one.... but the color they come from are not exactly color you can find normally so if you actually want the color, its actually pretty decent choice compared to paying someone to do automotive paint job or something.

[@Cityhunterxyz]

She does a great job, but Linus is also really good at engaging with people he's with on camera which probably helps a lot because it keeps the conversation going and probably helps keep her mind off the fact that they're doing this on camera because she does seem to be a really nervous.

My 850W Seasonic Focus GX-850 Gold NEVER has given me problems even when running my 3080 Ti at max overclock and power limit increase while simultaneously running 100% CPU and 100% GPU stress tests. It all depends on the PSU's build quality.
