  • Yes, you’re right everything can cause serious harm or kill, but certain things are designed to harm or kill, or designed to look like something that could harm or kill.

    Context is a big factor here. A person holding a 6 inch knife in a kitchen? No one is going to bat an eye. They’re probably using that knife to prep vegetables. Same knife, same person but they are walking around a market/playground/movie theatre? Suddenly it’s a very different situation and context.

    Is that stranger with the knife safe? I don’t know, but I do know that I don’t have anything to defend myself aside from what is around me if they ARE NOT a safe person.



  • Oh hey, hay čxʷ q̓ə for the reply! That’s good to know what the equivalent quality is. I juuuust discovered a good, high quality instant coffee that is decent. It’s called Davidoff. Pricey at anywhere from $15 - $20(!) CAD for 100g.

    I’m trying to avoid Nestle products on principle, and I find the Tim Horton’s original blend way too high acidity/bitterness but it’s okay in a pinch.

    I’ll take a look at more of the big box stores you mentioned.




  • It’s looking good to me! As @blueday@lemmy.world said, double check the clearences with the video card between the case, motherboard, and RAM. Try searching for reviews of the motherboard you’re looking at, ctrl + F and look for “clearence” or some other related word and see if there are any complaints.

    Good idea going for a video card with more RAM.

    Since I switched to AMD, I’ve been a big fan of the Ryzen chips. You get more cores at good speeds and competitive pricing versus Intel’s chip. I’m also into supporting competition and voting with my wallet where and when I can. The extra cores will help with video editing, encoding, etc. But, ymmv between Intel and AMD.

    My limited understanding with RAM is that after a certain point you are measuring speeds and clocks that will only give you marginal improvements (a difference in a handful of half seconds and seconds between different kits). I would suggest getting the most DDR5 RAM you can afford right now and don’t really sweat it too much.
