We give in

I mean use of the word "uncertainty" - in every news related program that's on at the moment! It's seems to be the new way to stir up a sh!t-storm about Covid. Up until yesterday it was all about the "uncertainty" of being able to celebrate Christmas. Now that "uncertainty" has been knocked on the head, they've move on to "uncertainty" for the New Year.
Well... I'd like to explain something to all the news people who are currently giving air time to anyone that wants to say the word "uncertainty": NOTHING IN LIFE IS CERTAIN. And no-one, (no, not even Boris), can predict the future. There was no such thing as Omicron six weeks ago. I could get run over by a bus tomorrow. There might be an alien invasion in 2022. Who knows? So stop jumping on the "uncertainty" band-wagon and start actually giving us real news.

And I'm betting Musk and a few others are working on the death thing too.

Is there CodeProject for a "news people"? They would be happy to read this explanation (if they know to read anything).

Be afraid, be very afraid. In other news (as related by my two-year old granddaughter), Santa got stuck up a chimney.

I hear what you say. But are you really certain?

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

That's cute.

The news and the politicians love "uncertainty" because it creates fear.

BTW the Youtube algorithm, as a Christmas surprise, somehow managed to send a music list tailored to me on someone else Facebook post.
I am still confused by that witchery, but the sound track is awesome!

I have a monster video card now, and the power cables stick out the top and they come out enough to prevent the glass from going back on the case without pressing on the card in a way that makes me really uncomfortable.
What I need are some like, L-shaped or flush PCI-plug extenders I can use to transmit power to this card.

3090s aren't cheap. I got lucky with my 2080ti. Found someone with one collecting dust, they sold to me for $500.
Mike Hankey gave me a solution that works. I've already ordered the plugs.

The kid's current card is a 2080 Super. It may become surplus at some point.

That's not a bad card. Mine benches only about 30% better, and mine is overpriced in terms of performance (but I got a *smokin* deal on it - $575 w/ 2-day shipping included)
