You definitely want a mid size case if you’re going to move it around. I got a full size with my first build and while it is nice and roomy, it’s never fun to move when needed.

The case you have in your list has your 2.5" SSD storage in the back and PSU under an aluminum bar at the bottom. Everything else will mostly likely be easily accessible, but if you ever need to do PSU/SSD changes, it won’t be as easy as everything else.

Otherwise, I really like Corsair cases, they’ve never done me wrong.

RiderExMachina,

Were already at an all-time high of vehicle related deaths. We’d actually probably see a decrease in fatalities if we made cars smaller.

RiderExMachina,

The only thing I know as someone not in the business is that many of the experts are saying larger vehicles are nearly half of all fatalities.

Do note that these are numbers for the US, and may not correspond with other countries.

RiderExMachina,

You have me confused for someone else. Lemmy is a big place with multiple users, someone else said that it’s both.

But sure, here you go:

Pedestrian fatalities are correlated with two major factors: speed and vehicle size. In North America, streets are designed to make driving easier and faster: lanes are made wider, and obstacles are removed to reduce visual clutter. This results in everything in NA looking flat and being spread out.

Vehicle sizes are goibg up because of the “size wars”: the EPA made limits on fuel emissions barring vehicle size, so auto manufacturers decided to make larger vehicles to get around the limitations. Consumers wanted bigger, “safer” vehicles to make it more likely to survive a crash, so there’s become an arms race for vehicle size. As these vehicles get bigger, pedestrians become harder to see, and if a pedestrian is hit, the grill is so high, the pedesteian will be thrown under the vehicle as opposed to over it.

As North America grows, we expand into suburbs, which are residential only, requiring residents to commute into the city to get groceries or go to work. More driving means more km driven.

And if you want my sources, here are a few to get you started:

I hope these provide the answers you’re looking for.

RiderExMachina,

I just linked you 6 articles and a peer reviewed paper on the subject, but if you’re still not going to believe me, I’m not going to spoonfeed you. This is my last reply to your motonormative idiocy.

RiderExMachina,

I think they store the data about the files in a database, but the files are in a folder structure.

Doesn’t make sense to have data that could be a few gigabytes in a database, or maybe that’s just me.

RiderExMachina,

I think there are two major hurdles keeping Linux adoption back (besides the obvious installation bit). The first is that our backwards compatibility is terrible. It is easier to get old versions of Windows software to run in Wine than it is to get some old Linux software to run natively.

If something like Photoshop did finally release a Linux version, even if they only did one release to make 2% of people happy, it likely wouldn’t be able to run natively after 5 years.

The second is a good graphical toolkit. Yes, GTK and Qt exist, but neither are as simple as WinForms or SwiftUI/Aqua.

RiderExMachina,

I personally don’t use Photoshop but was using it as an example. You could fill in the blank with other tools like AutoCAD, MS Office, QuickBooks/Quicken, etc.

RiderExMachina,

Are you red-green colorblind?

RiderExMachina,

With my current bank, my return would have gotten me nearly $100 in interest over the last year.

RiderExMachina,

Are you sure its removing those packages and not updating them?

RiderExMachina,

This makes sense to me, actually. Letters are usually taught with false sounds, and N and K could phonetically be taught as “nuh” and “kuh” by a teacher.

RiderExMachina,

Not quite “time loop”, but related: Return of the Obra Dinn. I need the developer to make another game with exactly the same mechanics.

RiderExMachina,

It’s fun, but I found the combat to be slower than most Metroidvanias

RiderExMachina,

That I’ve only played 60% of my 750 games

RiderExMachina,

It’s been getting ridiculous. One of the apps on my partner’s phone recently warned that they wouldn’t open with Developer options enabled.

This app is a fucking drink menu and digital punch card for a popular coffee shop, what could be done from the developer options that affects this app in any way? Especially since I only enabled developer options to speed up the godawful Android animations. Out of principal I’ve stopped going there and deleted the app.

Here’s a massive list of “Alternative Internet” software. There are some blockchain items in there, but otherwise it’s pretty extensive.
