So I’ll preface this by saying that I have very little experience with German dubs, but I always thought they sounded even more off than English (though English is often bad). Kannst du was empfehlen?

I think the point was not that there’s a direct relationship between display size and bandwidth, but that because people have bigger/higher-resolution displays, they want to make full use of it. If I have a 4k monitor, I want some 4k video. Bigger/high-res displays indirectly affect bandwidth that way.

I'm in Germanic Studies and have tuition remission, health insurance, and a livable stipend (take-home is around $15k or so, but the cost of living here isn't that high). But it wouldn't hurt my feelings to be getting more money and a marketable degree to boot.

There are grad students who make $25k/year? Maybe I should have gone into a different field...

My friend's dad had one of those when I was in high school; he let me play with it for a little bit, and I thought it was the neatest thing ever. I'd totally forgotten it ever existed.

Kayaking to work is not something that would ever have occurred to me.

That depends on the skins (and how many of them) you're using. I have a few very lightweight skins that I customized myself (tracks used space on my various HDDs/SSDs, and a now playing thing), and task manager lists it as less than 4MB with virtually no processor resources used (occasionally jumps to like 3% or…

That's excellent news. I had my eye on a particular 760 with 2 mini-DisplayPort connectors, but that went out of stock at Newegg (and is only available at unreasonable prices on Amazon), so I wasn't sure where to go after that. A new contender is exactly what I needed.

I'm playing games like League of Legends and The Secret World at 2560×1440@60Hz. My 650 Ti Boost seems to be struggling with TSW, but there doesn't seem to be a good upgrade path for around the same price point ($150-ish when I bought it, could probably swing $200 currently), considering I'm planning on using multiple…

I assumed that was included under "Affected economy is bad."

I picked an Xbox One controller because it fits my hands better. Besides, I don't really mind fiddly setup as long as it works fine afterward, and that's been the case for me. I mostly use the controller with my computer anyway, and I've had zero problems there, so I suppose it balances out for me in the end.

I set up my Nexus 7 (2013) with my Xbox One controller the other day, which was a bit of a task until I figured out what was going on. I needed this app so that my tablet would recognize the controller at all, and then I used it to make sure that all the buttons were bound properly. I was playing games with RetroArch…

I just bought my tester from MaxKeyboards so I wouldn't have to wait. It was like $22 with shipping anyway. I did buy Vortex's Cherry-profile side-printed PBT keycaps, though, and those took around 3-4 weeks I think to get to me. Definitely worth the wait, but man was I looking forward to them the whole time.

Massdrop is great; I've successfully purchased several things there (keycaps, fountain pen, notebooks, jacket), and the prices are great. Sometimes they have products that are simply unavailable otherwise.

This is why I'm leaving grad school after finishing my M.A., despite my original intention being a Ph.D. There's also the part where I absolutely hate grad school, but still! Despite how much I dislike it, though, I'm not sure that I wouldn't go if I could do it all over again, since I've learned a lot about myself…

I use my Nexus 7 (2013) a fair bit. I carry it with me nearly everywhere; when I'm at school or in my apartment but not at my desk, I use it to check social media, read emails, go through RSS feeds with Feedly, listen to music, sometimes watch League of Legends streamers via Twitch, and things like that. General…

You could also go even cheaper and live in Germantown (where I grew up). Just make sure you're on the correct side of the train tracks.

I think it's the other way around. It's illegal to be refused service unless you're gay; in the case of being gay, it's legal discrimination.

It's more like advice that was omitted, for me. I love teaching and have for years, and in undergrad I'd decided that I was going to get my Ph.D. and become a professor. Simple enough, right? I love teaching even more now, but I fucking hate grad school. No one gave me an accurate picture of what it's like; no one…

A lot of people are lied to by their universities in some form or another (professors who don't know what the job market is like, for example) and are told that they can get a good job regardless of their undergraduate major, or that they can get a job in their field doing what they love. I found out the hard way that…
