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.

Nuclear Medicine - Bone Scan

A CT scan is not a bone scan. CT scan uses rotating xray beams to reconstruct structures based on the absorption pattern of the tissues involved. Bone scans administer radioisotopes for uptake into bones (or associated tissue). This is then measured based on their decay and imaged for hotspots.

America's Cup

Over the past couple of cups, it was reckoned that Larry Ellison put close to a billion dollars in the team. Granted some of it was for advertising and indirect sponsorship but I don't think you're making a convincing argument.

I think the trick is also to feed them over a period of time in the same spot so they get used to what you're gonna be using as bait. Corn should work well for that.

Won't birth control (pill) be ineffective in ~500 years?

Not trolling. The OCP's main active ingredient is progesterone not oestrogen. If the receptor(s) does indeed become insensitive to progesterone you'd have big problems with hormonal balance and reproduction. One of them would be issues with the uterus lining preparing for implantation and...

You are entertaining a logical concept that applies to development of bacterial resistance to the hormonal regulation systems found in human reproduction. The concept itself isn't wrong and in theory that may be the case but in reality that is wrong. Hormonal control does not put the same...
