Also makes you wonder what fossils they mean, of the same species or then already extinct ones.

Because according to a quick Wikipedia search the oldest hominid fossils (?) are something like 7 millions years old

That's much much shorter than dinosaurs where around but hey " hominins are around long enough to unearth hominin fossils"!

What would your take on general relativity be in this case? The bug, the windshield and the relative velocity are 100% described by classical mechanics.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I only had a short stay in Tokyo. I put it on my list for the next time.

I saw this beautiful bonsai in the Meiji Jingu inner garden and thought you folks would appreciate it.

It looked absolutely stunning.

Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Here on wikipedia it says they don't, because the software is automated and only displays a blurred image.

Saw some today beneath some concrete platforms of a WW2 bunker. It's interesting that they can grow super fast given the right conditions.

How do I realistically get out of the US? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

In Germany "not free" means something like 400$ per semester at the public universities, doesn't matter the nationality.

TIL: that's not the case in the federal state of Baden Württemberg.

Depends. Do you have a conscience?

Is it worth investing if I can only contribute $50 a month? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] obstbert@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, finding some free ETF saving plan and investing 50 a month will give you some experience in investing. You can learn about, what's an ETF, what's diversification and how you react personally to seeing the number go up and down.

One has to start somewhere.

A graphics card upgrade for a Ryzen 3600 (feddit.org)
 

Hey everybody! I am currently thinking about upgrading my graphics card, because I upgraded my monitor to 1440p.

My PC is currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 GB RAM and a RX 480 8GB that I have since forever. I don't really play any recent AAA titles, but I would be happy if I could run games like Metro:Exodus or DarkSouls3 smoothly.

One thing that would be a huge improvement would also be if the card was rather quiet, current card is rather loud due to running at max most of the time for modern games.

I was thinking about maybe buying a RX 7800 XT if I can get a good Black Friday deal on it.

I am a bit hesitant about getting a 3060Ti because it only sports 8 GB VRAM and I always had the feeling that the 8GB VRAM prolonged the lifetime of my RX 480 quite substantially.

My budget is between 300€ - 450€ (I'm currently living in Germany if that matters)

I'm happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

TLDR: I'm searching for a replacement for my Rx 480 8GB between 300€ - 450€ for 1440p gaming, a quiet card would be a plus
