I tried the internet’s most notorious graphics card, and it caught me off guard

I tried the internet’s most notorious graphics card, and it caught me off guard

Published by skeptic

The GeForce RTX 4060 is easily one of Nvidia’s most divisive GPU releases. On paper, the 4060 isn’t a bad card, but it certainly feels like an objective downgrade compared to its immediate predecessor — the RTX 3060 — especially in the VRAM department. However, over the last year and a half, the 4060 has been my primary GPU for all my gaming and productivity needs, and its raw gaming performance just caught me by surprise.

My RTX 4060 test bench and games The Ryzen 5 5600X with RTX 4060 eliminates most CPU-related bottlenecks For the RTX 4060 test bench, I chose the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, a decent AM4 CPU, paired with 16GB of DDR4 memory. I kept the CPU in its stock configuration and paired it with a single PCIe Gen3 M.2 NVMe drive to complete my AM4 setup. This more or less makes this test bench a …

Erling Haaland Is Norway’s World Cup Machine — and the Internet’s Babygirl

Erling Haaland Is Norway’s World Cup Machine — and the Internet’s Babygirl

Published by Sam Flores

Erling Haaland stands at 6 feet, 5 inches, an intimidating force who can make fellow soccer players look tiny in stature and talent. Scoring seven goals across four World Cup matches entering Saturday, the Norwegian player has been described as a machine. But if you ask some loyal new fans, he’s also a babygirl and princess. Haaland has become a social media phenomenon, with his own posts and memes from others turning even soccer novices into diehard fans. His domineering physical appearance coupled with his goofy online persona have contributed to the craze. Fans remark on his flowing blond mane, color-coordinated hair ties and playful posts like a Snapchat-filtered selfie in which he proclaimed Shrek his “twin.” The contrast between his strength and skill on the field and his softer, looser online presence has also subjected him to the “babygirl” treatment online. That term is used frequently by fans of endearing male celebrities or characters who come across as sensitive, caring or vulnerable. Haaland is emblematic of a broader embrace of soccer players as pop …

Morning exercise is a fantastic way to start your day. For one, it ensures you fit in a workout before you look at your to-do list and convince yourself that you don’t have time. While some people like to jump straight into challenging workouts, many of us prefer to ease into the day with something gentler, and yoga can be perfect for that. It can also help to lubricate the muscles and joints after sleep, helping to ease any stiffness. Latest Videos From Adriene Mishler—better known to her more than 13 million subscribers on YouTube as Yoga With Adriene—recently shared a 12-minute practice designed to be done first thing in the morning.

Even the Internet’s Favorite Pool Guy Doesn’t Know How to Fix the Reflecting Pool

Published by skeptic

Steve Goodale isn’t used to attention like this. It’s not that he’s unfamiliar with being on camera: His YouTube Channel, Swimming Pool Steve, has amassed nearly 91,000 subscribers covering topics like how to bond concrete and clean a used hot tub. But the saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which an algae bloom turned green following a renovation that President Donald Trump’s administration claimed would make the pool “American flag blue” in time for the US’s 250th birthday celebrations, has left people searching for answers about what the heck is going on. The mystery has only deepened as chunks of the newly installed lining have appeared to break off and Trump has said the pool will be drained while, without evidence, blaming vandals for the problems. Add in US Park Police arresting people for touching the water like it’s some kind of biohazard, and that’s made Goodale, an award-winning pool expert, one of the most in-demand sources for anyone trying to figure out what’s happening to the iconic monument. Pools are in Goodale’s blood: …

Published by Jenni Sidey

Yoga offers a multitude of benefits and serves people who practice it in a variety of ways. For some, it’s just a good stretch, while for others, it’s a way of connecting mind, body and spirit. Adriene Mishler, better known online as Yoga With Adriene, shared a 10-minute routine this week that promises to reset your nervous system, which got us wondering what that actually means? Simon Smail, a GP (medical doctor) in the U.K. and medical director of Evergreen Medical & Wellness Clinic in Edinburgh, says that the nervous system referred to in this context is the autonomic nervous system, which manages the body’s fight-or-flight response. Latest Videos From “Nervous system regulation is popular shorthand rather than a formal medical diagnosis, but it broadly refers to how the body moves from a heightened state of stress to a calmer baseline,” he explains. “Everyone has a nervous system that naturally moves between activation and recovery throughout the day, so in that sense we can all benefit from habits that support good regulation.

The FatFIRE Subreddit Is the Internet’s Best Sideshow

Published by Sam Flores

The theory of FIRE, then, is a perfect response for these disillusioned times. It’s almost always couched in aspirational terms. Many of FIRE adherents trot out truthy statistics commonly found in viral Facebook posts, like the one about how, on average, a person supposedly spends something like 75% of the time they will ever spend with their children by the time those children are 12 years old. Wouldn’t anyone like to spend more time with their kids? (Actual studies have found that quality of time matters much more than quantity.) The earliest leaders in the online FIRE space were people who’d achieved it—most famously Peter Adeney, better known as Mr. Money Mustache. Frequently profiled and interviewed, Adeney is the classic software-engineer-turned-frugal-guru who sorted his nest egg and left the workforce in 2005, when he was only 30. (At least, the traditional workforce: Now he makes money by telling other people how to save their money, and through partnerships with credit cards and mortgage companies.) Adeney defines financial independence as a means to an end: a …
