I remember a time when my cat found a mouse in our cottage. Everyone was asleep or trying to sleep while the cat was looking for the mouse. For some reason, I looked at the bed’s edge and saw tiny whiskers and a tiny nose. The mouse had sandwiched itself between the edge of the bed and the mattress, trying to hide from our cat. I think it got away, too. Made me feel good especially considering our cat was constantly bringing in mice it had killed.

Barney disapproves of this.

They’re charging 100 € to build it, it seems.

I’ll think about but I’ll probably go with having it built for me. They charge 100 € for it which is not a lot when you calculate the cost of the parts. Thanks for the input, though.

Can’t upgrade my older rig, it’s an Acer pre-built and I watched a Youtube video about trying to upgrade it. Guy had to cut something out from the back to make room for the new GPU. Current specs are Geforce GTX 1080 Super and 16 GB of RAM. Runs hot and loud as all hell when I try to do some gaming on it. Regarding this new build, I also want to do some video editing, hence the higher specs.

I just went and added all the parts to the cart and it seems they are charging around 100 € for the build. So not 300-400 € like Telorand estimated. These are Scandinavian, not US prices.

Thank you!

Yeah, I don’t think I want to risk damaging the components. RAM seems to be C16 at 3200.

Thanks for the appraisal. Not surprised that there’s some extra in that price. Building it myself is not an option because I’m clumsy to the extent that I should get it diagnosed. Getting it assembled seems to be the cheapest alternative for me. But generally speaking, is that setup good enough to run older and indie games? At least the case seems to have plenty of fans. My current setup has practically no airflow and the fans are going crazy as soon as I even as much as touch a game.

Thanks for commenting. It won’t be of much help to you, it’s just a Scandinavian website that allows you to pick and mix your parts. Excuse me as I’m trying to hold on to my pseudo-anonymity.

Ah yes, comedy. I knew those three courses of German in upper secondary would come in Handy (ha ha) one day! But else than that, all I can say in German is “Ich bin ein Gemüse”.

There’s Zotero. I haven’t used it but seems to have a feature called ‘Collect with a click’ which should allow adding bookmarks.

It’s going to be gaymores next.

Its. Teacher is a cat, this checks out.

Flat to not flat in six panels flat. Nice.

If we’re talking about English, there were different kinds of English which were spoken (Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern English. And no, Old English doesn’t just mean English that sounds ‘old’. It was an early variety of English that was spoken from the 5th/7th century to 1066). All of them had their own phonology, morphology and syntax. In short, they followed their own linguistic rules and conventions. The way they sounded wasn’t just randomly made up. To find out more, look up the varieties of English I mentioned or take a look at this Wikipedia article about Historical linguistics.

So anyway, we started blasting.

I can’t write much today, but I just want to thank everyone for their input. I know that AI means different things for different professions and different people. In cording, it can be quite helpful. But in a language-based profession, it can be problematic, because it can output fluent and convincing language, while getting all the facts wrong. Or it can sound very artistic, but if you look at it closer, it’s not all that original, or the language might become impoverished, and so on and so forth. In tedious and repetitive jobs people are perhaps more willing to give over to AI. Which is what robots are doing.

I’ll read your replies more closely tomorrow and reply to each one, if I can. Thanks for the discussion!
