I think this would be a very decent starting point that I found on tomshardware. 32GB RAM will give headroom with Windows 11, but it is the GeForce RTX 5060 which will do most of the heavy lifting with any graphics-intensive programs where the rendering and exporting happens on the PC itself.

I saw this last week on Instagram. Not sure if its useful to you.
neuroinclusion.au Perth, Western Australia Glimpse what is inside ••• DEFINING HEAUY BODY WORK Neuroinclusion Heavy body work involves activities that provide deep pressure and resistance (e.g., lifting, pushing, pulling, or squeezing) to stimulate proprioceptive input. Proprioception is the body's sense of where it is in space, relying on feedback from muscles, joints, and movement. Regulation and body awareness: Engaging in proprioceptive activities can help with self-regulation, gross motor skills including coordination and spatial awareness. Calming and organising effect: Heavy body work is often used to support individuals who seek deep pressure for sensory regulation, helping to reduce anxiety and increase focus. Everyday applications: Activities like weighted blankets, wall pushes, jumping, animal walks, or carrying groceries can naturally incorporate proprioceptive input into daily life.

This is going to be my first cyclone if it comes. I am in a modern home. I am mostly calm. I I want to make sure I am ready. Hopefully there isn’t too much panic if I have to go to the shops.

Here’s some secret sauce from a sff build video I saw: a 75% power limit and a 250% overclock in afterburner may give you similar frame rates at massively reduced power consumption.

Don’t know if you have tried this stuff from Aldi, but I pretty much leave it on for a minute or two and don’t have to scrub.

That sounds lovely and I am happy for you.

I am so out of shape I am starting with trips to the shopping centre with my support workers especially on hot days here in Brisbane.

Normally Saturday and Sunday were my big days when my wife could come with me.

Just revising my comment with the source which was an article on Choice Australia
Screenshot from Choice.com.au Homemade sports drink If you regularly engage in strenuous activity of an hour or more and feel you could benefit from a 'sports drink', you don't need to fork out for a commercial one. Here's a recipe from the US Olympic Committee website: 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup hot water 1/4 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 ½ cups cold water Dissolve the sugar and salt in hot water, then add juices and cold water. A simpler recipe is to combine 500mL of unsweetened fruit juice, 500mL of water and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt. Experiment a little with the proportions - less juice, more water and half the salt will make it hypotonic (less concentrated).

This photo with Arnie is too cute to keep on my phone

People wonder why we treat Arnie like a child instead of a dog.
Here’s my evidence of him this morning wanting to get through the gate to the presents:

Definitely not. Reading about traumatic events can be a traumatic experience in itself.
Hazard Traumatic events: Description Investigating, witnessing, or being exposed to traumatic events. This may include reading, hearing or seeing accounts of traumatic events. A person is more likely to experience an event as traumatic when it is unexpected, is perceived as uncontrollable, and where there is a threat to life or safety or is the result of intentional cruelty. Examples: witnessing or investigating fatalities, serious injuries, abuse, neglect or serious incidents (e.g. investigating child protection cases); being exposed to extreme effects of natural disasters or seriously injured people.

Hate might be too strong of a word, but these freshness seal are so hard for my hands to open.

Is there another way to do this?

Arnie is having his fit check for the Christmas party at our local dog park on Sunday and to greet his friends who are coming to stay this festive season 🎄
He loves his outfits!

After 7 years of just trimming my beard, I decided to go for a clean shave two days in a row!

This is also a first photo on here of my new glasses!

Feeling fresh and ready for new beginnings!

I do not miss people mentioning this person, the content and the the screenshots of it.

I would like to invite the community to join me in valuing emotional safety over taking the bait of angertainment and actively not engaging with it or sharing it for the rest of 2024 and beyond.

Here’s my first selfie of a flare up of fibromyalgia on here.

I used to not have a name for these and didn’t understand that it wasn’t normal to only be able to ‘find comfort’ by laying on the floor with a weighted blanket.

The trigger was disrupting my weekend routine by travelling.
