I use all the plastic bags I get from the grocery store (fruit & vegg, bread, etc.) to keep my pottery projects from drying out too fast. This is especially important when pieces have really thin parts. They would crack if I just let them to dry without something to cover them.

A) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. Eventually use my wide, but mostly shallow knowledge on many subjects to start a scientific revolution and try to repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.

B) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. With the help of my smartphone and multi-tool; use my wide, but mostly shallow knowledge on many subjects to start a scientific revolution that will hopefully help repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.

C) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. With the help of my smartphone, multi-tool, and various technology examples of the common era, start a scientific revolution that will likely help repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.

In any of these scenarios, I would try to warn people about the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists that are coming to fuck their shit.

IMO it really depends on if you can upgrade your CPU as well. I have a 12 year old dell precision that maybe (probably not?) could handle a newer CPU (32gb of ram), but there is no way that I know of to upgrade the CPU to a current generation; thus, it is stuck with a CPU that's too weak even for a 1070Ti.

Look here to find upgrades that will let you get the most out of that old motherboard. IDK if it will be much though. I upgraded the CPU on mine in hopes that ~8% gain in performance would do much... it didn't.

Here's a good resource as well. They focus on used systems it seems and helped me find the strongest (yet still shitty) CPU that I could get for my ancient motherboard.

Not reading a book until ~2am. I'm fine today, but I'mma be tired tomorrow when I find myself staring at the ceiling until 2am tonight.

I thought pocket was okay for finding stuff to read while pooping, but I turned it off when I started getting horoscope and astrology articles in my science feed.

I have a slightly more positive view of manga because it's more likely to be hand drawn (March Comes in Like a Lion, Made in Abyss) but one of the things I really don't like about manwha/manhua is that it's always (as far as I've seen) a continuous strip which means I have to scroll a lot. I have an auto-scroll extension but it makes me dizzy after a while. I do appreciate how each of them have their own unique style, I think that's pretty cool.

Also my first "manga" was Scott Pilgrim. Author's Canadian and IIRC it was read right to left but everyone still called it a manga.
