Alright, we’re heading into a massive climb! Looking at the betting lines, everyone is putting their money on Andersson, but honestly? I’ve got a feeling a certain Russian woman is going to snatch this one from under them.
EDIT: Note to self: always listen to the bookies! Huge props to Andersson—and Diggins pulls off the overall win.
Bolshunov is an absolute machine. Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if he was still clocking 4+ minute gaps after tomorrow's climb. Even if the Norwegians were out there trying to hunt him down, they probably couldn't stop him if they tried. But look, when you actually talk about the competition itself, the women's side is way more gripping. There's only like a minute between first and second place—okay, fine, it's 54 seconds—but that matters. That final climb can absolutely kill anyone, and even someone like Diggins could lose that lead and see her minute vanish in an instant. Since it’s a mass start, everyone is going out together, which is why I think it'll be much more fun to watch them actually try to hunt each other down.
Hey guys, I’m running into a bit of a headache with the RAM on my relatively new rig. I haven't even loaded it up with a ton of software yet, and over the last month or so, I've mostly just been using it for gaming.
But lately—like, this past week—it feels like it’s just devouring memory even when there aren't any heavy processes running... at least, nothing that I can actually see.
Check this out: this is what it looks like while idling, with nothing open but Chrome and some background stuff you can see right here:
I didn't sit here and do the math, but there is absolutely no way that list adds up to 4 GB.
Anyone got any tips on how to fix this or stop the bleeding?
Thanks! If I strike out on this one, what kind of alternatives should I be hunting for in that same ballpark? Honestly, everything I've read about this card makes it look pretty sweet. If it can handle those games people mentioned, it *should* crush whatever I'm playing without breaking a sweat.
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75M-DGS Processor: AMD Athlon x4 740 Memory: 4 GB DDR3 (running at 666 MHz?) Current GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450
I'm looking to grab something new that can actually deliver decent performance at, say, 1280 x 1024. I mostly dive into games like Divinity : original sin, Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, and stuff in that vein. Isometric RPG-ov are my bread and butter, though I might jump into a strategy game like Starcraft II. once in a while. A lot of what I play is older, so most titles run fine, but I’m really hoping to get through these *newer* ones without a slideshow.
This Radeon 6450 is absolutely killing me; it’s struggling even at 1024 x 768 in D:OS 2. Honestly, there's a good chance the rest of my hardware isn't exactly top-tier either.
Does anyone have any (ideally budget-friendly) recommendations?
Man, Balože is such an idiot. He’s gotta go and screw up the results right when everyone’s waiting to see the footage of those jumps. What a total joke.

And the decathlon... look, props to them, honestly. It’s a brutal grind and I've got a massive amount of respect for anyone who can even step onto that field. But let's be real—when you look at how their scores stack up against the absolute monsters winning gold in specific individual events? It just doesn't have that same electric, "holy crap" factor. It’s hard to get hyped when the numbers just aren't hitting that elite level.
Jeremy Hall4 said:I mean, come on, three lines are buried behind the cover, so there’s no way you could see them any clearer than this.
EDIT: Word on the street is the number glitched and dropped down to 6.91, though honestly, it might just be some crazy conspiracy theory being cooked up by the opposition.😁
Man, oh man! Imagine if that actually turned out to be a trophy!

The problem is it’s always NBC when our athletes make it to the finals—just like today with the shot put. I can never seem to track down any decent streams for the individual events outside of the big networks.
Does anyone have a link for today's pole vault? I know we're already getting close to the end of the broadcast, though...
slystag4 said:Is there actually a single stream out there where you can watch everything, instead of just whatever garbage our local idiots decide is "important" enough to broadcast?
Man, I ask myself this exact same thing every single time a major track and field championship rolls around, and honestly, it’s always a massive letdown. The answer is almost always a big fat no. 😢
