Fallout 4 is better than real life. In fact I regularly do something in real life and think Fallout 4 would have made it easier to do that.

It costs virtually nothing compared to the seperate GPU. A lot of desktops I've had have built in graphics and a seperate card.

If it's coming through the same hole, convection does nothing at all when the fan is running.

It doesn't matter how quiet it is, something will annoy me, like the cooling fan on a Sky TV box, or a refridgerator in the next room. Your ears have automatic level control. But the most annoying thing is a change in noise.

Actual Brits, whose ancestors have been there for hundreds or thousands
of years are Christian, well-behaved and believe in manners. I imagine
that amongst them, guns are of no use. However, I wonder whether the New
Brits have resorted to other means to kill people now that guns are not
available...

.... oh wait, what's this?

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow-b1Cus1fg> "Birmingham knife crime

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJGyhuiW57M> "London's murder rate

You can take the knife out of the killer's hands but you can't take the
killer out. Those wonderful, peaceful "New Brits" from Africa will
always find a way. I wonder if the Old Brits would have enjoyed having a
way of defending themselves against the adherents to the "religion of
peace?"

That's not what I was saying. I was suggesting that even if you make
guns more difficult to obtain, the killers remain. If the United Kingdom
were concerned about keeping their streets safe, they wouldn't let in
those very well-mannered and peaceful migrants from Africa who worship a
murderous pedophile who wrote a book demanding that anyone who doesn't
have the same ideology must die. If discarding that trash is of no
interest to them, giving the real Brits a fighting chance againt these
barbarians wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Here's where our government and especially our subservient news media are
letting the general public down, over simplified:

"[My] People are destroyed for lack of knowledge." -- Hosea 4:6

The COVID-19 "vaccinations" ONLY prevent the recipient[s] from getting
seriously ill or dying from the virus. It DOES NOT prevent you from
CONTRACTING the disease; CARRYING the virus; or, INFECTING OTHERS with the
virus!

These "vaccinations" DO NOT operate like insecticides and "kill the virus".

They merely train specific human RNA strains to resist the virus attaching
to a specific protien which causes immune system reactions which are so
severe that it makes people severely ill or kills them...

Don't forget that at the outset of this "pandemic" it was well publicized
that ONE OF THE REASONS THIS VIRUS is so virulent is because an infected
host (human) can carry and transmit the virus for ~2-weeks BEFORE showing
any symptoms...

In other words, if you have the "vaccination[s]" - and are otherwise
relatively healthy - and you contact the virus and IN FACT be "infected"
but you simply will not get seriously ill or die from it... BUT you still
CARRY THE VIRUS and CAN INFECT OTHER PEOPLE - WHO CAN IN TURN INFECT STILL
MORE PEOPLE... AD INFINITUM - before the virus inside you dies because it
cannot attach to the protien it needs to make you sick... IF you are
otherwise relatively healthy...

This is WHY wearing of masks IS NOT an issue of personal freedom... It is a
matter of LOGICAL STRATEGY to defeat the virus' spreading - and mutating -
until sufficient population are "vaccinated" to constructively defeat this
incantation of this virus.

God only knows how many other projects have been funded by the USA
taxpayers thanks to Dr. Fauci's lust for fame, fortune, and legacy.

IN CONCLUSION: Even IF you have been "vaccinated", it is very prudent to
continue to PROPERLY wear masks when out in public - which is a veritable
petri dish.

Hope this helps.

Heh, where I live, I get all sorts of sounds:

1) The sound of float planes taking off and landing a walk away from here.

2) The sound of the hyper-powered sports cars racing in the 30km/h zone
in front of the house belonging to mafia and their sons who don't live
too far from here.

3) The sound of shitty cars racing in the 30km/h zone in front of the
house belonging to poor losers who wish they had the same kind of money
as those mafia members.

4) The sound of fireworks at 10pm, 12am or 2am from Italian teenagers at
random times during the summer.

5) The sound of speedboats on the river in front of the house.

6) The sound of Chrysler-built cars which, whether they are new or old,
always sound like they are in dire need of repair because of their
garbage parts.

7) The sound of Italians talking at their normal volume (10/10 for the
rest of us) at midnight on a Sunday in front of their homes because even
though they've had their family over since 8am, they still have lots to
say when everyone else is sleeping because they work the next day.

8) The sound of Italians honking their car horns because their team won.

My brother had an Apple IIe. Years later, long past it being a "modern"

Often with these transitions all a developer has to do is recompile. Sometimes
they benefit from doing more though.

And that is with large work to reduce the harm of Covid. Imagine if we did
not. Already in the US, even with our precautions, it has reduced the average
life span by about 1 year. I assume it is about the same for the UK.

That does not even count the 1 in 3 survivors with long term health effects.

criminals aren't the problem. most gun deaths are domestic disputes or
mentally ill people going on a rampage.

how exactly would the people attending an outdoor concert have been
able to fight a shooter from a hotel window across the street, who even

that is absolutely false and represents a deep misunderstanding of

your own link dispels it.

basic biology dispels it.

that site is pure propaganda.

not only do they call the vaccine experimental, but they call it gene
therapy. both are false.

that's just the usual bullshit the wacko right-wing conspiracy sites
spew.

they are also attributing *any* death as due to the vaccine and not any
other cause. how to lie with numbers.

it's clear they have an agenda and you are blindly eating it up.

so far in the usa, there have been more than 35 million cases of covid
and more than 625,000 deaths.

so far in the usa, nearly 350 million vaccine doses have been
administered, with more than 150 million fully vaccinated, and only a
handful of deaths that have been directly linked to the vaccine.

do the math. hint: the difference is many orders of magnitude.

there would need to have been many millions of deaths in the past six
months, peaking in the sprint when several million jabs were given
every day. that has not happened.

false. they are very safe, certainly much safer than getting covid.

wrong.

the evidence is clear that the risk in getting covid is *much* higher
for unvaccinated people than vaccinated. it's also common sense.
