I mean as an engineer, this should actually be 2+2=4 +/-1.

Agreed, but the person I'm responding to made a point about weeks vs. weekends.

There is a calendar on the site showing which days he was confirmed to have been golfing. There are many on the weekends, but not all, which means "work week" time was spent golfing.

No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.

It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?

I know this is revisiting an old post, I've been unable to game for some time. When I try this I don't get any other information. However, I have seen a lot of other issues system wide that just make it feel unstable. Like when playing I will have system wide freezes not just the game freeze (unable to move mouse/keyboard is unresponsive/etc.), I've had issues in Firefox where pages will just freeze or be non-responsive and have to force close the program or again it's system wide freezes. So I'm pretty sure it's not Steam related and is just the whole OS. I can't really get logs because when the system freezes my only option seems to be hard shut down then reboot.

This is generally referred to as pound-force (lbf) instead of just pound (lb). At least, that's what we use at my engineering firm when converting from Newtons so I may be misinformed.

That's only useful for the current date, or dates within your current month. Otherwise this is worthless information haha.

I have not forgotten. I mentioned it was the family's ability to use that money, not the individual! You are right that it doesn't change the conclusion though.

Yeah good shout. I gave up after I realized. Thanks!

His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.

That's all well and makes sense to me, but the person I was questioning stated that $350k+/year is not rich. All of those boxes you mentioned could be ticked way lower than that, and this is nearly 10x the median salary of the UK. That roughly means this family has the ability to spend 8x the median individual and still save/invest 2x their salary per year.

What does this mean? By this metric, the wealthiest person in the world is not considered rich. Elon Musk both works and has an income.

By what metric? Where would you define rich?

Brand new sentence?

In the MCU? He hand built multiple suits, and designed all of the others himself. It even states that he designed his first engine when he was like 4 I think in the first movie. He was worse at creating AI than his actual mechanical and electrical engineering skills, as portrayed in the films. Comics are of course a separate matter.

I'm not advocating for it, but it could be just locally run and therefore unable to share anything?

For a kidney, they probably used the body coil and it would have taken around 15 minutes. Does that sound right?

Unfortunately they did get in the room sometimes. For the most part, techs are really good about keeping the magnet room clear and not bringing ferrous items inside. However, even when things like that did get inside they really aren't a problem to just pick up with your hands (or sometimes our titanium tools like pliers or a screwdriver to get a better grip on them). The pull is strong, but based off the amount of ferrous material so those things that are just a few grams are not really notable.

Help with Cyberpunk 2077 on Mint
Hey gang, I'm having trouble running this game. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 64GB DDR5 RAM, on a B650 motherboard. My issue is frequent crashing/freezing, meaning I can't play longer than a few minutes at a time. I have tried re-installing the game, Steam, the entire OS, and then fully wiping the drives to remove Windows dual partition and only installing Mint. Then I was pointed to the drivers, so I tried updating using the ppa(?) driver availability as Mint only offered the nVidia 550 through Driver Manager. I tried each of the separate drivers, rebooting between each load, and still having the same issue. For reference, I was able to run through character creator and early intro of the Streetkid after many failed attempts. But then I get to the ride-along with Dexter DeShawn which does not have skippable sections and takes too long. So the length of that conversation is too long before the game either freezes or outright crashes.
Any suggestions are welcome, it's re

Alright, you guys got me.
Several months ago I posted about building a new PC for gaming and got some suggestions for Linux in there. Well I got some specs and ideas, saved up some more money, and pulled the trigger in January to buy. After building, I loaded with Windows 10 thinking I'd start with something I knew and was off to the races. I had a few bumps early on with driver management, but after sorting those out I was gaming on Steam for a while with no issues. Every so often I'd get crashes in game (to be fair, I was playing Fallout NV which is notorious for this), freezes, and automatic restarts. Well, about two weeks ago my computer updated to Windows 11 which was annoying, but since that what my work laptop runs I wasn't too bothered. The next day when I pulled up a game, my sound wasn't working. I was troubleshooting with my headphones, game settings, a different pair of Bluetooth earbuds, but nothing changed. I played around and realized sound was just broken across all of Windows, and apparently th

Converted Xbox Achievement Hunter
I recently switched over from console gaming to PC gaming. My Gamerscore on Xbox was around 185,000 over more than a decade. Excited to pick up games on PC that I have never played before, and revisit old games that I haven't played in a long time!
