so I just decided to simply spookify Ryall and I.
He's a lich and I am a Demon, we are hear for treats and to make mischief!


There are some really great submissions here! Tough competition

It looks good Cape_FOX
I like the expression, but I really think it has potential if you have it shaded and coloured.

I have had mine for a while now. I am wondering if it has become a bit stale.

So Ryall decided that his PC could do with an upgrade, and asked me to decided on some parts and help him assemble it. This is the result: Mobo: Asus Maximus VIII Ranger Intel Z170 CPU: i5 6600K @ 4.7GHz GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 AMP Extreme 8Gb DDR5 RAM: G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200...

I know I am a bit late to the party, but I decided to give Galahad's puzzle a shot without looking at the solution. I took a different approach, writing the problem as a set of linear simultaneous equations and equating the columns and rows and subtracting the resulting equations from each other, I ...

My grandfather liked that riddle.

You mean the not-mother, because, y'know, abortion?

Yeah, it was just easier to refer to her as the Mother than the 'abortion recipient' or whatever >.>

If you really want it to be illegal, you're going to have to make provisions for special cases like the above. That way, at least the law can be consistent. If the law is written such that it is illegal to provide abortion services but does not specify whether having one is illegal or not then I do...

But I had said that it can't be determined earlier because we don't know whay Annie is. And Rakuen provided just the answer before me. And that answer is incorrect Sev. You were both wrong. It turns out that it doesn't matter if Ann is married or unmarried. Either way the answer is 'A: Yes' to the ...

I think it is okay if you get a little credit for that Contrast

In that case, it shouldn't be illegal. Do it, or do not do it; no half measures. The whole point of the justice system doling out such punishment is to discourage the behavior of the action that is deemed wrong or immoral. By punishing the doctor, you achieve this. If you decide to punish the mothe...

If you could throw it hard enough to achieve orbital velocity then that could work to. Probably not practical on earth but if you were on an asteroid this would be possible.

it's yes because:

If Anne is married she's looking at unmarried George.
If Anne is unmarried, Married Jack is looking at her.

Triangles...

That is correct! Well done!
You get a cookie. :3

This is a logic problem damn it! Not a social Experiment!

I say yes. I say they standing in a triangle and jack and anne got married ten years ago and anne is having second thoughts and is window shopping. shame on you, you hussy....

For my 5000th post, I will clarify both of those points: Congratulations! By both parties, I meant both the doctor and the patient. Currently, only the doctor is punished, and the woman walks away without legal consequence. Trump wanted to point out the hypocrisy of that. While fundamentally I agre...

I will wait for other people to answer before giving it away.

If I created a RNG with the range 1-3 and ran that, and then ran a second one which randomly set a boolean value for switch/not switch, I should have a similar failure rate in either case. Anything else is a statistical anomaly. Simulations of the Monty Hall Problem have been done that confirm that...

If abortion is illegal, both parties involved should be punished. Anything less, and it might add well not be illegal. By both parties do you mean the mother and father? The problem with this is that a women can get an abortion without the father even knowing. Should he be punished in that situatio...

I find it amusing that many in the far Left will claim that gender is a social construct, but then at the same time support individuals that want to identify as the opposite of their biological gender. Saying that these people have female brains in a male body is admitting that there is such a thing...

Hi Azure Thanks a lot! I appreciate the compliments. The legs were particularly tricky and it took a lot of trial and error, plus a lot of studying of other talented artists' works and how they approach digitigrade legs. The graphics program I used was Adobe Photoshop CS6. I don't use that many tool...

I love your portrait StargazingSerpent. I especially like the detail around the eyes.

This is my ref I did a little over a year ago, haven't done much drawing since but that will change soon.

I just had that argument with Ryall right now, but I looked it up and apparently you can use '[sic]' in cases other than spelling and grammatical errors.

The heatsinking is used for the CPU and the North Bridge, and South Bridge. The 5V and 12V is stepped down efficiently using switching regulators. Some of the FET transistors used there may need heat sinks but usually that can be done using the PCB. That is why I said 'high end' motherboards have h...

Most modern MOBOs use LVTTL which uses a voltage of 3.3 V. I think the 5 V is only used for USB, peripherals and hard drives. The MOBO has voltage regulators to drop the 12 V to whatever voltage the CPU needs (usually about 1.5 Volts). This does generate heat and is why most high end motherboards ha...

I think that you are a little too optimistic with that PSU Fluke. You must bear in mind that not all of those 500 W are available to the CPU and GPU. That is powered by the 12 V rail, which for the CX500 is rated at 34 Amps. 12 V*34 A=408 Watts For the 390, that is a an overhead of 7% for the power ...

Keep in mind that the power draw of the R9 390 is double that of the 970 (300W to 150W) This means that if you want to get the 390, your current power supply won't be strong enough. I would get a 650W PSU at least, 700W just to be safe. The 970 will be fine on your current system. If you are going t...

If you are not overclocking, and you haven't had problems with it then that power supply should be fine. Your 2500K will not bottleneck the GTX970 in most games, You will see a massive improvement. The 390(X) would also be an option, since AMD's DX12 performance is looking pretty good which should g...

I'm not arguing. It could very well be mind over matter. After all. The brain is still a mystery to us. I mean. We probably use ~10% of it's capacity. it is very likely that it has the capacity to self heal... As others pointed out this is not even remotely true. While we rarely use 100% of our bra...
