Can you do a display port cable instead of either of those?

Have you tried turning off vsync? I'm assuming you don't have a freesync monitor given the jump from nVidia to AMD.

I'd pile on that the programmability of the HPs was amazing compared to the TIs. The manual for my HP-48sx was a chonkyboi but man could I do so much with it. Once I figured out how to calculate pitch frequencies for equal temperament (just a mathematical series) I was using the BEEP function (IIRC) to have my calculator play music.

This is also can be enhanced by tweaking up your mouse sample rates and whatnot. I used to do a lot of setting PS/2 mouse sample rates at 80Hz or more in late 90s that made Windows machines feel almost as nice to use as a Mac.

Citrix has made a whole thing out of speeding up this scenario. It's a big part of why customers still use their software despite their other numerous failings.

The overly cautious approach is how anyone that does not want a lawsuit handles these sorts of things. Do I really need to chuck out that bottle of ibuprofen after 4 to 5 years?

Looking at the page source it looks dead simple to modify. I know it isn't WYSIWYG but it's just HTML.

Wow that loaded quickly! I wonder what she's doing to optimize it.

I thought that was interesting. Also, using the down arrow on my keyboard to scroll a paragraph at a time was interesting.

I think the poster is saying they don't like that some people conflate gun deaths with gun murders and use that as a justification for gun control.

Either way, I'm surprised port security isn't enabled in an educational environment like this.

I'm always amazed by how well MLMs inoculate their sellers to criticism. Questioning the merits of the product or the distribution system usually results in conflict. A lot of people selling these things think they've discovered something special and that they're clever to have picked it up and run with it. Once they're at that point there is no stopping ego.

"Yet he is now the latest affluent American to warn that Senator Elizabeth Warren’s plan for much higher taxes on the rich would be bad not just for the wealthy but for the rest of America, too."

I've watched the clip several times now and this is horrible characterization by this journalist. The title of this piece even seems to be click bait-y. We're starting to have a national conversation about more heavily taxing billionaires again but so much of the media is pumping this up into a "the Populists are going to eat the rich" kind of hysteria.

IMO.

Oh very interesting. Weirdly enough my initial response to you has been upvoted and then downvoted. I don't want to turn this place into Reddit with all the meta talk, but interesting things are afoot.

The heart wants what the heart wants. Good on him.
