Women in lumberjack sports? in Hobbies & Leisure ·
I never really thought about women competing in lumberjack sports, but seeing these world record breakers is actually pretty impressive. It's cool to see more women getting into these traditionally heavy-duty physical competitions. Do you think more "extreme" traditional sports will see a similar surge in female athletes soon?

Larrousse really could have had a much stronger run during the 1995 season if they hadn't been let down by the head of DAMS...

Man, what an eccentric character Jean-Pierre van Ross was...

It’s always such a bummer when a local driver ends up causing all the chaos... just look at the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix where Stroll slammed into Hartley, or back in the 1994 Belgian Grand Prix when Philippe Adams had to pull out

What about that collision between Sutil - Trulli?
When was it that they had to show him those photos during the press conference?

🙂

And then there's Timo Glock...

The 2008 Brazil Grand Prix. For me, it was easily the most beautiful race ever... You could just feel that day that Formula 1 had finally found its next big star for the seasons to come... Lewis Hamilton...

By the way, I always had a soft spot for the Footwork crew... they had that wild livery back in '94 and '95 that looked almost like a jigsaw puzzle.

Well, what can you say about that...

There was actually one guy who managed to walk away from a single race with a DNF, a DSQ, and a DNQ all at once...

I'd have to say Verstappen... you're probably thinking of that wild race back in '96 where only three cars actually made it to the finish line at the Monaco Grand Prix...

Hehe... just trying to kill some time while watching F1 Rewind... We haven't even finished half a lap before—bam—Footwork-Hart hits the barrier...

swiftfalcon89,

which types of video games are actually better...

First Person Shooter, RPG, TPS, or maybe an open-world style?

I wouldn't call myself a hardcore gamer, so I don't really feel the need to jump all the way up to an Intel Core i7 7700 or an i7 8700...
When it comes to video games, I'm much more drawn to those massive open-world titles... things like Far Cry 3 or GTA 5...

Timothy Kim60 said:If we're talking about really demanding AAA titles and high graphical settings, this card isn't going to cut it for 1080p at 144Hz, let alone hitting 60 or 75 FPS at 1440p.

Then again, most people grab a 144Hz monitor specifically for those fast-paced esports titles where this CPU and GPU combo actually shines—it might even be a little overkill for games like Counter-Strike, Dota 2, League of Legends, Overwatch, or Fortnite.

That's exactly right...
once you start cranking down all the settings, you're still only seeing about 30 FPS...

An RTX 3060 is really my only realistic option here, and honestly, $190 feels like a total steal, maybe around $0.33

Zachary Nguyen2,
technology is moving so fast these days...
and Dell put this specific build together because those processors come with integrated Vega graphics... which can manage to push games like Apex, Fortnite, or PUBG at around 30 fps...

What kind of build would this end up being...?

•Processor: Intel Core i3 with integrated graphics – $250
•Motherboard: ASRock A320M-HDV R3.0 – $127
•Memory: 2x4GB RAM – $133
•Hard Drive: 500 GB / 7200 RPM – $100
•Case (no power supply included) – $57
•Power Supply – $83
SSD (Crucial BX500 240 GB):$95
Total:$845

Just trying to find the absolute cheapest way to get into gaming...

swiftfalcon89...

Does a Pentium count as an APU processor?

Thanks for the advice, User123.
I saw this video where a guy didn't have the actual mounting bracket for his SSD,
so he just used some screws to secure it directly to the side panel near the HDD and optical drive bays...

I'm currently deciding whether to toss in either a 120 GB Patriot Burst or this 256 GB Crucial 850...
It'll just be one of those two...

Andrew Fox74,

I’m thinking about putting together a build down the road that’s just straightforward and functional—nothing flashy like RGB lighting, LEDs, or tempered glass cases...

To be more specific, I want to stick with my current case, grab a new power supply with at least 600W that has the right connectors for the GPU (either 6-pin or 8-pin), and hunt down these parts:

CPU: i7-6700
RAM: 16 GB at 2166 MHz
HDD:😳my old 500 GB drive
SSD: 120 or 240 GB (which one would you recommend?)
GPU: RTX 3060
Cooling: any decent FaZe Clan cooler
PSU: 600W (with 6-pin/8-pin support)

By the way, is it possible to secure an SSD using zip ties on the side of the case to stop it from vibrating, and then just plug it in with a SATA cable later on?
