    My in laws live in the path, so my wife and son went to see it.  My Dad has dementia, so I took Monday off to take care of him.

    I agree with the above.  If that doesn't fix your problem, I would also suggest trying the GPU in the other PCIe slot.  It might be worth planning to change out your MOBO at some point, even if you don't get the artifacts again.  It sounds like you have a lot of other MOBO related issues.

    I prefer them having a cellular structure lacking a cell wall and chlorophyll cooked rare.

    I listen to science channels on YouTube most of the time. I just turn off video and go audio only.
     
    Also, try to read actual books. I understand how hard it is with modern day internet and smartphone but do this. Just pick up a physical book and read for leisure for one hour a day. It greatly improves mental health and sharpen you up intellectually. It doesn't even have to be non fiction textbooks. Read some fictional novels from new york times best seller. It works like therapy if you have mental health issue.

    I would be interested in seeing a short circuit on the Canoo pickup.  It's supposed to be affordable with good range, but is ugly as sin in a way that would look interesting on a thumbnail.

    Yup, I've had that happen before with the same symptoms.  The MOBO is the next suspect after.

    PCPartpicker lists the cache in their storage pages.  This could help you find what you are looking for easier.

    No, special requirements other than black boot for uniformity.  I just bought a set of Thorogoods, so I'm OK for about 6 months to a year.  If anybody has actually tried the Vessi shoes, I am interested about what people thought of them.

    We tend to use them more for unconscious patients.  If someone is awake, we usually just take the history by directly asking the patient.  If someone is wearing someone else's medical alert bracelet we wouldn't be unable to tell.

    Worstcaster got a reaction from Pixelfie in GPU usage goes to 40 percentage while gaming   
    We could use some more information.  What is your CPU and it's % used?  Is it in one game or all of them?  What are your resolution and quality settings?  Any recent changes to your system?  How are your temperatures?  When you say lagging do you mean lag in online play or screen stuttering?

    Thanks everybody.  Based on the advise here and on reddit, I think I'm just going to stick with my current setup.

    Worstcaster reacted to Chris Pratt in About what keyboard i should buy   
    This is not something to vote on, and you shouldn't even consider people's opinions here. It's a personal choice.
     
    A custom keyboard will be far more expensive and far more complicated if you've never done such a thing before, but it allows you to do it exactly as you like. That also of course assumes you already know exactly what you like.
     
    A branded keyboard is better if you don't want to have to think about it, or just don't care as much about tweaking every little part of the experience. You'll still need to generally know what kind of switches you want, but the rest is going to be just trying the keyboard (s) and seeing which you like best.

    Avoiding data collection would be nice, but most of the time that fight was already lost, when you purchased a phone or opened an email account.  Besides the big tech companies other businesses are selling your data too.  The DMV of many states sell your data.  If you buy a car, the auto dealership sells a lot of your data as well.  As for security on your end you can do things like enable 2 factor identification, use different passwords for all sign ins, and trying not to install programs from sketchy sources, but that doesn't help when the companies holding your data have them in unencrypted plain text files.  Switching to Linux can help somewhat, but Linux phones definitely aren't ready for daily driving yet.
