def lumberjack(name, pronoun): print("{}'s a lumberjack and {} OK!".format(name, pronoun)) lumberjack("Ashton", "he's") lumberjack("Paris", "he's") lumberjack("Sam", "they're") How do I fix this little program? Right now, the name Paris will print to "Paris's" rather than "Paris'", which is obviously grammatically incorrect. How do I fix this? I assume I'd want to use an if statement, but I don't really know how to implement that into this little bit of code. EDIT: I think I figured it out, but is there a more efficient way to do this certain thing than: def lumberjack(name, pronoun): if name[-1] == 's': print("{}' a lumberjack and {} OK!".format(name, pronoun)) else: print("{}'s a lumberjack and {} OK!".format(name, pronoun)) lumberjack("Ashton", "he's") lumberjack("Paris", "he's") lumberjack("Sam", "they're")

Okay. Is there not a way to make the whole "concept" of cases disappear from the program, rather than make it just "not matter"? Maybe I'm just playing around something that doesn't exist...

Well I know that, but what if I just want to make the case not matter entirely? Like I said, it's not really necessary, I'm just curious about it...

How can I remove case sensitivity for the purpose of this little exercise? names = ['Ashton', 'Paris', 'Britton', 'QUIT', 'Aaron'] for name in names: if name == 'QUIT': break print(name) I'm trying to make it so I can say name == 'quit' or something without having to worry about the case. Not really useful or necessary, just curious about it.

It's never been used before. It's the MSI 970 Gaming motherboard, as seen here. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-970-GAMING-DDR3-Motherboard/dp/B00LUY72F6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1502512644&sr=1-1&keywords=msi+970+gaming

It's an 8GB MSI RX 480 with an 8-pin connector. How much could I sell this for? Am I too late to sell it for overpriced amounts?

No, I think I'll go for the PSU you suggested to me. I appreciate it, and it saves me $25 which could go to other parts. Very helpful, thank you!

I don't even have the GTX 950 anymore, so I guess that makes you even more right. I was planning on buying a new PSU and then slowly upgrading my system to higher end parts. As far as I know, the recommended PSU wattage for a GTX 1080 is a 500W PSU, so I think the PSU you suggested is more than enough. When I've got higher performance parts, do you think the difference between the two PSUs will be worth the extra money? Thank you for the PSU suggestion. I'm very tempted to buy that instead.

Well, what do you think that my use is? I don't know, I've always been an advocate of spending money for extra quality. I guess I don't have that much money though, so saving is probably a smart idea.

I was planning on replacing my current PSU with an EVGA SuperNova G2 which is most certainly not a low quality PSU. This thread was mostly just born out of curiosity based on my current situation.

Well, it was in a system for about five years... That system stopped working, and it was put back into another system five years later. In total, it's probably been through 7 years of use. I don't know if the fact that it's lasted this long tells us that it's a good quality PSU because it could always just be a luck-of-the-draw type thing. I don't know if it's a bad PSU either, which is why I'm asking this question. I want to know what could happen if the PSU is bad.

I've been running a system with an i3-6100 and integrated graphics for a while now. I used to have a GTX 950 too, but I sold it to my brother. Anyways, I have a 300W PSU that is several years old, and it used to belong to a computer that was built in 2005 or something. I recognize that the PSU might not be in good shape, but I'd like to know what kind of negative consequences are possible? Could a bad PSU actually take a toll on performance? Thermals? Could it fry other parts? What are the possibilities here? Thanks in advance folks.

Thanks very much. Falls right into my price range, will do some research on it, but it looks good.

My primary concern is color accuracy. I would PREFER something with a high resolution, high refresh rate, but if not then that's okay. I just want it to be good with graphics design and not TERRIBLE with games.

I need a monitor that is well rounded between price, gaming value, and graphics design. I need something that looks good with nice colors, preferably a high resolution monitor, but I don't want it to suck for video games either. Would a monitor that's good for graphics design be a monitor that's good for gaming, or would I need to pick something in between? Should I just get two monitors? EDIT: Realistically I'd only want to spend $500 at the most. I'm trying to get professional, schooling and everything, but I'm not rich.
