The US are just a bad parody of themselves at this point.

Can you expand on that? Good news in American politics would be a nice change.
Everyone loves Bernie.
But dang it the man is 83. He should be enjoying the last years of his life in retirement. It makes me sad to think he still needs to be working in politics.
He's as old as Trump, who is already too old for this shit, will be at the end of his term.
Maybe there should be a hard limit at 65 or something for politicians. Both to keep out people in whom dementia is clearly starting to appear and to let old people frickin' rest.
Used to do this. I had issues with either the audio or the video feed randomly dying, though, so I ended up finding a way to make HDMI+USB work when I moved.
More reliable, but now that I'm starting to think about reorganizing my office, copper will no longer do for 4K120 as that'll go over the 5-meter limit. And an optical high bandwidth HDMI+USB setup isn't cheap.
Upsides and downsides...
I wanted some foreign goods to get more expensive. To end slavery, not to escalate a trade war!
I should have checked my vicinity for any stray monkey's paws when I made that wish.
Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that's okay and not one milligram more?
Upscale it to 4K for no reason
Some people think liberal is right-wing, just not extreme (for example, liberal party of Quebec)
Some people think liberal is centrist. (For example, liberal party of Canada)
Some people think liberal is some sort of wide category including everyone left of center.
As for leftist, some people think it means anything left of center.
Others think it means left-wing, but more so than center-left.
Others yet think it refers only to the most left-wing of political opinions, including communists, anarcho-communists, and adjacent ideologies.
And even "center" is a vague term to begin with. What passes as center in the US is decidedly right-wing in other countries.
A few things:
- Pretty much all PC prebuilt companies favour glass and RGB, in part because RGB is popular, in part because it makes the system look more expensive, and can help feel like it justifies the costs.
- Tempered glass, as is used in PC cases, tends to shatter into cubic-ish fragments, not into knife-like shards, like you might be used to with most glass or ceramic items. Having to pick glass shards out of your skin because your PC case broke is extremely unlikely, even if it broke on you.
- While cases with no windows absolutely exist on the prebuilt market, they generally still have RGB. For example, Dell/Alienware systems.
- Some cases have two options for the side panel (often along the lines of perforated vs glass) and, in general, if that's the case your prebuilt company is using, they'll ship you the extra panel that came with it with your system. If there's a PC you want that only has glass on the side panel, look into the details of the case itself. It might be one of those.
With all of that said, if I were you, I'd look into prebuilt companies that, in general, have a record of providing quality systems, and then look into turning off the RGB.
For instance:
- HP/Omen
- Starforge
- IBuyPower (although I think it's been a little hit-or-miss over the years? Not sure)
- Maingear (very expensive though)
You may want to look at Linus Tech Tips and Gamers' Nexus. They both review prebuilts.
LTT does it in the form of their secret shopper series, where they show the experience of a complete newbie buying and getting support through the phone.
Gamers' Nexus purchases individual systems and review them in depth.
Both channels make great content and should help you come to a decision.
I'm a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I'm pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It's just that on the few occasions that there's algebra that I can't figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.
Examples of cases where math comes in handy:
- Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
- Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters
In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won't have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.
As for calculus... I forgot all about the one calculus class I've taken and I've never suffered for it.
"I like center-left policies"
"I like my policies further to the left"
"Aight let's fight and make sure as few people as possible vote"
Meanwhile, the conservatives are laughing all the way to the bank.
Kinda fitting to think we might see Nvidia cards with literal diamonds in them.
