B) Liberal democracy is in trouble, and rightfully so, because it goes too far and by ignoring the wants and needs of the silent majority. Most people are fed up with it. I'd say it's all little more than course correction back to a more center balance. If you try and govern solely from the left or right, you're going to end up in trouble. It's always about Goldilocks. Finding that sweet spot somewhere in between where maybe everyone doesn't get what they want and need but they get enough to keep them at least content, if not happy.

Honestly, as partisan as the voting was I am not really moved much by the impeachment. He isn't going to get removed by a GOP Senate unless he does something really stupid that puts clear evidence right in front of the voters so that GOP senators can't vote to protect him without risking their jobs. Considering all of the fairly dumb things he has done in this process to hurt himself it isn't impossible, but if I am being honest....I still think he wins the election, let alone pass this impeachment trial in the Senate. I have zero faith that the federal governement has done anything that will keep our elections from being meddled with, the Dems can't seem to find leaders people want to follow, and Trump already won once. I think he is unfit for office, and I will vote against him, but I can't shake the feeling that it really doesn't matter.

Oh yeah - now that you have an implant you will have to be very serious about your oral hygiene. Floss every day, or maybe even use a Waterpik! Try to extend the life of your implants as long as possible. My goal is to keep up the routine to get 10 years out of mine, instead of the usual 5 years. 90% chance it will last that long supposedly, but that's not good enough for me.

the game ran perfect for me since launch, and i had maybe 1 crash getting through 50% of the game, but the most recent patch changed all that for me and there are numerous issues now. I wish they didnt force people to patch single player games like this.. everything was running so smoothly for me before.

I know this was not the norm for most people running the game, but it was rock solid on my system and its been a bit disappointing getting it forcibly downgraded like this so soon. its cheapened the single player experience with some of the physics bugs that have been introduced which kind of sucks because rdr2 single player is all ive been playing.

are the performance issues addressed yet?

Garbage analysis. "Only play the game at 4k with current gen hardware"... so I can play at 4k with a 2060 card, but not a 1080ti? They didn't even test with a 1080ti. Thanks for an absolutely useless comparison.

Not kidding, whenever I read the words "youtube" and "redesign" in a news post I am getting REALLY scared. Not a single re-design youtube did in the past 10 years was ever an improvement, dark mode excluded.

Yep, they have an excellent track record of boning things up real good.

The only thing overclocking results show is that chip makers are shipping chips with no extra free speed. They could have done the same with the 300a Celeron and it would have been a 450 instead.

I think the days of overclocking as a means of truly tremendous speed gains is long over*. We're not really CPU bound any more. If anything, what we need is tremendous improvements in mulithreading. What's the point of a 4.5Ghz+ 8 core processor when 7 of the cores are sitting idle or near idle? Rust, as a language, shows that it doesn't have to be as brutally painful and pyrrhic as C is.

*Cue the "I gots 10 more FPS by overclocking" crowers.
