  • Yeah, not sure if we read the same article. It definitely uses media safe terms like allegedly, but only on actions that would be legal definitions of crimes. After that it refers to it as “the incident” (and not as “the alleged incident”). They never hedge around whether the attack happened, and the rest of the article even strongly takes the side of the family. I see nothing that makes it seem like the news agency likes or is siding with the ex-coach.

    I guess maybe taking all of the “allegedly” and “appears to” at face value you could get the impression of them being dodgy, but it’s just how they have to report it until facts are discovered in a trial. Actually, they even later quote the family’s attorney calling it a “horrific assault and battery”, no “allegedly” in sight, because it was a quote referencing what was being investigated.



  • So I understand the first one, if you don’t want an app open handling them. I still usually just open email or calendars when I want to check them, and close the tab again after, but also don’t have a job that requires me to constantly monitor them.

    The second point I guess I do as well in short term, but more whatever I am actively, currently try working on. I’ve never needed a long term organization for that, though, since it was always more like having several loose leaf papers spread on my desk and less like putting multiple bookmarks in a book and coming back to it over several hours or days. If there’s no need to use it in the next 20 minutes or so, I just bookmark and close it.

    The third I just really don’t grok. Maybe I just really need a tidy browser workspace, but I usually have one, maybe two tabs open at a time when I’m not actively using them and referencing between them. I dont have any tabs that can be forgotten, because I close them immediately after I use them and no longer need them right now.

    I guess it is no different than having bookmarks for everything, except I can hide those. I just hate the “look” of a bunch of tabs open (as a personal preference).



  • Pretty sure that motherboard is only gen 3 pcie, so you aren’t getting full potential of your gpu. Bumping to a b520/b550 would help there.

    16gb of ram is fine, but 32gb would likely work better with newer games.

    I’d invest in a better power supply down the line. At least something gold+ is my usual recommendation.

    CPU should be fine, even with the most modern games. Cooler is a beast. GPU is a little on the lower side of you’re looking at 1440 resolution, but should be golden for 1080.

    The motherboard is by far the weakest point, and is likely holding back other parts of the build already.




  • Some action scenes are absolutely unnecessary to the story being told. Some sex scenes are unnecessary to the story being told. Some dialogs are unnecessary, redundant, or ruin the impact of a movie.

    It depends on what the story is, the context of the rest of the movie, and the way everything is portrayed. And where exactly the line on the spectrum is will largely be up to personal taste and preference, but there are absolutely two sides of the spectrum.

    This isn’t hating on raw food movement, this is like having a water main break and being advised to boil and/or filter water before drinking it.

    A lot of dairy cows are infected with a new virus. Raw/unpasteurized milk has a greater chance if transmission to those consuming it. Recommended to refrain from consuming raw milk until there is no longer such a high rate of infection…




  • There was certainly a fad for going gluten free as a fad there for a while, but I haven’t really encountered any of that crowd in a bit. However, I definitely have friends with celiac disease and/or gluten allergies.

    While any sweeping claim is better when backed by data that supports it, I dont think this particular case is a hill I’d die on.


  • Other comment made great points on MintOS and PopOS for beginning a Linux journey.

    SteamOS isn’t available for a full PC release (that I am aware of), but Bazzite was made to be a full-distro alternative to SteamOS. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but it has good reception from what I see.

    Linux Mint is very easy to pick up, though, and I highly recommend for someone coming from Windows. It is fully functional through GUI and has several different flavors for the desktop environment. I’m a fan of KDE, but Cinnemon was also very nice. A version of KDE Plasma is what SteamOS 3.0 uses. I’m not as big of a fan of GNOME, but a lot of people love it as a mor elegant, modern desktop environment.
