Good luck assembling, you’ll love PC gaming I’m sure!

Just in case you don’t know already: https://pcpartpicker.com/ is an amazing site to plan a build. You can put all the parts you’re aiming to buy and it’ll tell you if there are any compatibility issues. You can share your parts list with a community too and ask for specific advice.

Concerning parts, XFX AMD GPUs are very well built and go for a reasonable price. Their 6000 series have great cost/performance value imho. I have a 6750XT in a PC connected to a 55’ TV and it’s hardly breaking sweat provided I don’t go overboard with game settings. For a normal computer screen you could have plenty of fun out of a 6650 XT I’m sure.

Could you get Amazon delivery from say, amazon.it? It could give you a chance to find what you’re looking for.

Is this about building sand castles? I miss building sand castles.

Of all the ways one would harvest a botnet for propaganda, asking the victims nicely is surely the most cynical yet.

falseknees comics aren't necessarily structured around a big punchline. It's often more of an animal kingdom slice of life. Here the bird on the left clearly hatched this year since they're unaware of leaves changing color in autumn. This is isn't their last surprise, as they're about to find out what it means to be a migratory bird as well.

OK but it’s pretty cool that the moon is just far enough and just the right size relative to Earth and the sun to give us all those rad eclipses.

EDIT: Also I tested and this burger is the same size as a Canadian one dollar coin.

Salamander (Life Force in the USA) is an arcade scrolling shmup developed by Konami in 1986 as a spin-off of Gradius.

I never actually played. I just enjoy that artwork 🔥

Young artist with inspired angsty compositions. They have an EP out and I'm hoping they eventually get around to dropping a full album.

This one has a special place for me. The lushness and the other-worldliness is so appeasing.

Also chaotic neutral: prioritizes issues by curiosity.

To be fair when it came out seven years ago it really shook up the portable gaming scene. Every portable console coming out since is an iteration on that design. The joycons can go to hell though. And those weird ass online plans.

It’s March 14th! An excellent day to eat pie and do maths. I might brush up on my geometry and try the NASA Pi Day Challenge.

"SMILE is a post-punk band with a singer who prefers not to sing."

Whole album's a banger. Sort of Sonic Youth vibes except I don't get bored halfway through (sorry Sonic Youth fans 😬)

She has 110 millions insta followers. 100,000 represent a 0.1% loss. I wish only 0.1% of the population were homophobic.

OK hear me out: Minecraft in survival. For real. Nothing jump scares like a creeper going "psshht" in your back, telegraphing that you’re about to die in a destructive explosion. As you walk a narrow path over a chasm of lava in the Nether, the wail of the Ghast might make you fall out of sheer panic before it even shoots at you. The Warden is a special kind of scary too, as it’s nearly unkillable and will detect you by the noise you make. It sounds kind of silly but there’s plenty of players making the remark that Minecraft survival is basically horror.

And it’s all in a child friendly, non gory, voxel style.

This report published on August 30 by Vias (Belgium) studies the relationship between the car’s characteristics (such as size, weight and power) with injury severity in case of collision. It’s available in French and Dutch only, but it includes an English summary.

Here’s an excerpt:

With the exception of vehicle age, we find that vehicle characteristics that reduce the injury severity of car occupants, such as high mass, are more likely to be detrimental for the other party. For example, when the mass of a vehicle increases by 300 kg, the probability of fatal injuries for car occupants decreases by half while the same probability for the other party increases by 77% for car occupants and 28% for vulnerable road users, respectively. A similar pattern is seen for other vehicle characteristics such as power and pickup trucks. This indicates an opposite relationship between occupant safety and opponent safety, or put another way: vehicles with a high capacity to protect their occupants (= high crashworthiness) tend to have a lower capacity to protect the opponent (= high crash aggressiveness).

Big takeaway for me: if the vehicle hitting a pedestrian or a cyclist is a pick-up, the victim is 91% more likely to be severely wounded and 196% more likely to be killed.
