That article about quitting coffee is pure garbage. 2 weeks? BIG DEAL!

I quit caffeine cold turkey 10 years ago and it had a dramatic effect on my sleep habits and all around wakefulness throughout the day. Sleep better, need less sleep, don't crash throughout the day.

But.. I had to go through 4 weeks of migraines by quitting it cold turkey (I don't get migraines).

I stopped drinking caffeine about 6 months ago. I really miss the taste and ritual of it, but my sleep and energy levels have been much more stable.

Funny that your avatar pic appears to be some creature holding a cup of coffee.

That's a lot of phone for the price.

better phone, bigger screen, larger battery, more cpu, lower price mine did come with 32 gb though.
That nokia will really retail for about $89 or less is my guess.

Only two stars? Someone is hatin' on ur phone. You should write a review!

Thanks for all the advice, gents!

Check out AMD's Freesync List. You can filter the hell out of it for what you want specifcally. Really handy tool. Shows lots of great VA monitors 30"plus for a lot cheaper than the ones you linked.

Appreciate it, but I don't have an AMD card, so Freesync doesn't do me much good?

To test the chipset you measure consumption at the wall.

Isn't the x570 chipset rated at 15 watts, hence the need for a fan

Der8auer measured it under different loads... https://youtu.be/qk3PD-4zPN0?t=841

He even removed the fan + crappy heatsink and went full passive by installing a very basic heatsink. He doesn't understand why they went with active cooling.

Say what you will about Ross, but when he said he'd fund his own campaign he actually did, unlike out current bloviating buffoon.

Perot was a stand-up guy, no doubt.

As to whether he'd make a great prez, who knows. Being a CEO in charge of all aspects of a business is a totally different skill set from being president where separation of powers requires compromise and deal-making.

My biggest gripe is that FDevs constantly take back seat, ppl just flown to the end of the galaxy to find nothing but dirt. There were no lore bread crumbs, no answers to any of the lore questions, bah, there was no participation from the devs at any levels whatsoever.

Hats off to the DW2 organizers, they did an amazing job making this journey happen.

They really need better in-game community planning.. they are trying right now somewhat but my god they suck at it.

Besides the price point I like that it uses significantly less electricity as well - we all need to be using less, and it's expensive in Ontario.

Really? It's super cheap just next door in Quebec and if I'm not mistaken, Ontario is also mostly on Hydro.

Have prices gone up that much since Hydro One's privatization decades ago?

I guess everyone has already moved on from 1080p right? Lol. I'm quite happy with my 1070ti still. It handles everything I throw at it and my i7 is going on 4 years old... I suppose 4K will truly cripple me but as long as I don't see what I'm missing, I don't need it.

1080p on a souped up 970. I'm happy. May build a new system in 2 years, with a new monitor. Till then, 1080p is great.

Apple devices are supported far longer than any Android phone. Kinda makes the price a wash.

We have $200 android phones that are 6 years old at work, and they still get updates.

When does this price wash thing start?

What I think you mean is that Apple devices are supported for two years at which point they slow iOS down to a crawl for all but the most recent phones. Planned obsolescence.

Here's what I want, a decent non-snooping email along with a good browser for a fee. I'd think that would be a selling point. It does not need to be something that competes with Proton Mail. Just something that doesn't hoover your data while simultaneously serving up ads.
Current web-based email programs (yahoo/gmail) suck ass.
