Nobody knew at first. Until they tried it for the first time.

It’s not so much about knowledge nowadays, but about convenience.

If OP can’t be arsed and just wants a prebuilt and be done with it, that’s entirely up to them. But as I said, if they are willing and able, they can get much more out of it.

Yeah good point, let me edit my comment

It’s cheaper to build one yourself with these specs, but yes, it’s a fine PC for gaming.

Edit: adding that they could have totally cheaped out on certain parts like the power supply or the motherboard, as you can’t see them. If you’re willing and able, I would definitely recommend building something yourself as it’s so much easier today than it was 20 years ago.

Plus, it would be a nice bonding experience.

Now this is democracy

And we should keep it that way. As soon as you can derive value from your profile karma and/or it means something, it’ll break any sense of earnest discussion some are trying to have in the first place.

Look at Reddit: any serious thread is peppered with might-be-funny one-liners in the hopes of catching some upvotes. This makes those threads harder to read through, although it does make for funny AI summary results.

It’s not just off topic banter to increase karma though. It’s also reposting old memes, jokes and stories that did well in the past to farm that sweet karma. Throw in some copied top-level comments too and some subreddits are basically perpetually living in déjà vu.

Let’s not try to aim for that.

double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium

As a Dutchie, we pronounce W as “Weigh” or “Way”. No double nonsense.

It’s a bad thing not because it’s finite: your body makes hormones when it deems necessary. The issue is when you regularly have high levels of those hormones, it will cause effects like weight gain, fatigue and skin issues, to name a few.

Your heightened sense is a temporary mode at the cost of other functions of your body. Going back to your analogy, hormones influence things like a bunch of presets on your motherboard. Your body cranked up the CPU because you didn’t have enough sleep, but this will cost you in other areas like your immune system.

Unlike a computer, we can’t simply draw more energy from the wall to crank up the settings permanently. So these hormones/presets helps your body focus on what you need the most at that point, redistributing your available energy.

Your body is producing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to make it through the day. These hormones help with alertness in general.
