    RTX continues to seriously disappoint me

    Guys, we're talking about playing a 1997 game with raytracing on in 2019 on +500$ (or worse the 2060S/2070 are +800$ in local currency) at 1080p to get acceptable framerates (let's not consider any of the actual "holy grails" of 120+hz or 4k or combination thereof). Frankly this is just pisspoor...

    1070 MSI Gaming X vs Armor OC

    Double post but I realised that amazon sells 1070 for 100$ cheaper than local buy (australia) - including international shipping. Fuck me.... this is ridiculous.

    1070 MSI Gaming X vs Armor OC

    Ah yes the non X version is an option but unfortunately around here it's being sold in one place as far as I can see and it seems to be perpetually sold out. I'm keeping an eye on it.

    1070 MSI Gaming X vs Armor OC

    Hello gents, I'm in the market for a new gpu and looking at different options. I'm trying to figure out what the difference between the 1070 MSI Gaming X and Armor OC versions is: as far as I can figure out some clock differences (should be able to bring to even with a manual oc), the shape...

    Trying to understand protein folding and amino acids.

    Couple more points to think about beyond the protein folding is stupidly complex. If you look at similar proteins (same type of protein from different species or similar functional/type protein ie isoforms) you can see that different domains of the protein tend to be very tightly preserved and...

    Australia wants to give their carp herpes

    There are a variety of carp species that get lumped under the term carp by a lot of people, not all of them being particularly good to cook. Carp is often eaten and cook around Europe.

    Cell phone brain cancer!! ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation

    Cell phone brain cancer!! ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation

    Those are rather wide confidence intervals for those figures. Shrugs, I'd like to see some studies that back them up.

    Just volunteered myself off a flight...

    Thanks for the replies! I honestly haven't seen it on any of the flights I have taken. Admittedly 95% of them were outside of the US.

    Just volunteered myself off a flight...

    I don't understand about these things? I flew quite extensively internationally and this never happened to me. Is this something only common in USA/domestic flights? It just seems such a waste and a hassle to overbook flights. If someone asked me if I was willing to change my flight I'd be...
