Fun fact: It's possible to live with only half your brain. If you are young (like >4 years) your brain can develop and be fully operational even if only half of it is present.
This makes me wonder something. What if someone's brain split in two or something before they were born and this person started growing as if they only had half a brain to work with. They would grow up to be mostly normal because their functioning half of the brain would learn to operate as it needs to. But what if the other half of the brain also developed. Imagine this person's other half of their brain also developing into a person with their own feelings and personality. What if the first half of the brain had control over the body so everyone knew that person. The other half of the brain can accept sensory input, but cannot control the body. That second person would merely be a spectator inside someone else's body.
Now think of the mental disorder Schizophrenia (which is Latin for splitting of the mind). People who have this disorder tend to have hallucinations and believe that they are real. Hallucinations such as interacting with people who do not exist. Now what if our spectator person in the second half of the brain had a very loose connection to the first half and could attempt to communicate. What if the first half person thought they were going insane with seemingly Schizophrenic hallucinations, but in reality it was the second half person trying to reach out?

There was a patient by the name of Paul S that underwent surgery to split hit brain hemispheres in order to treat epilepsy. It turns out he had language centers in each half of his brain as well as developing a different personality in each of his hemispheres, a split personality. One half could be happy and the other would be angry and both were able to verbalize their emotions. There's been about a half dozen or case studies done on patients of this surgery and the results are actually pretty interesting. Highly recommend reading up on some of them.

https://gyazo.com/6511c33df2843294d56aeea8f749121c Windows literally won't let me change the name of this folder because it's "in use". There is NOTHING in it other than a few text files, none of which have been opened today. Wtf? -

why an mp3 player

Granted, but it doesn't fit you or your partner I wish the cracks on my phone screen would somehow disappear

The Samsung ones are around 71£ so not quite in your budget. Also, pretty sure you can't get them on their own unless you buy them used on Craigslist or something

what about wallets that die from steam sales?

Boot Camp Assistant.. Help.
Railgun replied to Foul's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Boot Camp basically partitions your drive and installs Windows in the new area you set aside. Once this is complete, you can freely switch between Windows and OS X. You can also decide which one the computer will boot into by default. In my experience, Boot Camp is a pile of garbage that will give you a LOT of trouble installing Windows if you are unlucky. It shouldn't screw up anything on the OS X side, but it might not work properly. I've used it twice. First time, everything went smoothly. Second time, I had to manually install all Windows drivers in a really ghetto fashion and neither side recognized the other partition. Sound was also screwed up on the Windows side. -
yeah, an earlier reply mentioned the electromagnetic field a lightning strike emits. Makes more sense now
-
Are you sure it really lit up? If the lightning truly affected your gear, it would have most likely surged the outlets which could fry your equipment. This is why surge protectors exist. I'm having a hard time understanding how a lightning strike could simply cause your keyboard to turn on but not effect any of your other hardware... EDIT: yeah if it does it all the time then it's just coincidence

yo dawg I heard you like being banned

banned for low quality joke

I don't think OP has any clue what he's doing or about computer knowledge in general and I don't honestly think he's planning on attempting this.. Just saying
-
if you like something, you like it. If you don't like something, you don't like it. Also, I imagine your lack of ability to experience success in the game might also have something to do with it.

here's a neat thread of a guy with a cool idea and lots of people pitching in with their ideas and opinions. IMO this is an example of the forum at its best

get out now while you are still un-tainted /s

You'll do just fine with a 1070, but with that build list I would recommend a 1080 or the TI variant since you're in that range. I am pro EVGA and anti MSI

mfw the tl;dr is bigger than the main part of the post

If you want a quality headset that includes a decent mic for communication, check out the Cloud series by HyperX. I have the Cloud IIs and I can personally say that the sound quality is excellent and the headphones are very durable.

Recommend me an Adult-Joke Based Cartoon Series

@JDE hey just letting you know, article TITLES are quite different than the articles themselves.
