I took Bio in 10th... Chem in 9th... AP Bio in 11th... No science Senior year because I need PE and Health, Otherwise I'd do Physics E.

 

[tiny voices]

Death, you are about to be a Junior or a senior?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I'm about to be a Junior. I said that during the GPA discussion... Aiming for a 3.7 by end of Junior Year(Because of the AP classes)

 

[tiny voices]

Nice! Sounds like a plan.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah, now the question is:
A)Can I finish my AP Bio Work.
B)How viable is the GT 740 for a second 1080p monitor on the desktop.

I noticed Ontario Mills has a MonoPrice store now.

 

[tiny voices]

Adding a monitor doesn't put any strain on the GPU at all unless you game on both. Just using it for more space for youtube/desktop/internet, yeah no problem.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah... This monitor already has a VESA mount(hidden, I think it's 100 x 100, I forgot)... And I have the space... I'd put this one in Vertical and the other horizontal.

 

[tiny voices]

That would work perfectly fine on your 740. It'll do three or 4 monitors. Can't remember which.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Three on mine since all I have is a HDMI, DVI-I, and VGA. Some can do 4.

 

[Mirakledba]

Hm..Bio this year, Chem next year, and also Health next year. PE i will be good on.

Got the car back today. Slight bonus was an upgraded alternator with higher amps(or was is volts). That AC problem is still there... This time driver controlled all A/C. Now my side blows slightly cold air rather than just air. Ah well.

 

[tiny voices]

It is higher amps. Volts will be the same.

 

[nukemaster]

imagine that. Got my new 24 volt alternator 😛

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I figured it was amps... I realized I said so earlier... So damn tired... and so damned hot

So I was at McDonalds the other day and I heard this ad while I was getting lunch:

"Do you want an app on your phone that promises you ad free music in exchange for letting us know certain information about your every day purchases?"

My first reaction was a Jeff Garlin-esque "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" :lol:

New keycaps came in, yay finally done!

 

[tiny voices]

Nice. I actually ditched my mech board for a CM devastator. :lol:

Looks good. I like how bold the letters look.

My friend got a Strix Keyboard with Browns. I have a picture, but it was taken with a potato since his phone was also down.

Guys, quick school related question.... "Hernan Cortez was writing this letter to the King of Spain. How might his audience, the King of Spain and the Royal court, affect his account of what happened in the Americas"

I DONT want the answer. Just need clarification of "affect his account " What do they mean by that?

 

[tiny voices]

affect his account = alter how he tells the story.

Like, it is asking how the people who he is writing to change the way he is going to tell the story.

For example, if you were writing about how to properly select a PSU your writing would be totally different if you were writing to an electrical engineer vs. writing to your mom.

 

[Mirakledba]

So like how they see it as or how they manipulate it ?

 

[tiny voices]

Neither. Look at my example.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ah Ok I understand that, but Not really in this context cause when they say how will the king affect his account, I think of it as the King changing the dudes words to make him look bad...Cause it says "How would his audience, the king etc etc, affect his account bla bla" It seems like its asking HOW WOULD THEY see it instead of how would he write it to them

 

[tiny voices]

No. He is writing to the king and royal court. They won;t change anything. They will read his letter exactly as he writes.

Obviously he is going to have a different tone than if he was writing to someone else.

This is hard without giving you the answer.

Example, this is NOT the answer.
Imagine you are leaving a country because you are unhappy. You sail to a new land and it is amazing and everything is perfect. The mean ass king from your old country demands you tell him what the new land is like. Are you going to tell him it is all amazing and awesome? Hell no. You will tell him it sucks so he doesn't have any reason to send more people or come over himself. BUT if he was writing to his buddies he would tell them to come on over to this amazing land. See how his audience changed how he was writing? THAT is what the question means.
