  • Should I upgrade to the Titan X right now?

    I bought the 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB from Microcenter a year ago and, long story short, I can basically upgrade for free until next year.

    Should I upgrade it now or just wait to see if they release a newer version of the X by next year?

    The 780 Ti is an amazing card and I don't really need to upgrade but the 3GB is a little slow for me especially when I'm rendering videos?

  • Do I really have to use sunblock at the beach?

    My name is Nick, and I'm a 21 year-old male with a pure Sicilian ethnic background (I am naturally somewhat tan).

    I rarely go to the beach but I went yesterday, for an air show, and I got some tan/glow to me (and barely any pink) after being there under the sun for 7 hours.

    I'm not burnt nor does my skin hurt but I have a noticeable tan and a horrible farmer's tan lol.

    I could care less about "getting tan" (like everyone else today) but I'm wondering if I frequently go (with my friends and it's summertime now) to the beach, is it necessary that I use sunblock even if I don't get burnt or anything?

    Thanks in advance,

    ~Nick

  • Why aren't movies filmed at 60FPS?

    Wouldn't they seems more natural and smooth? I play PC games at 60+FPS on a 144Hz monitor and everything is so smooth. So why not make a movie using that setup?

  • Best way to handle this situation?

    Say you are driving behind an intoxicated driver and you call 911 to request the police to pull over the vehicle. What is the best way to relay information to the operator?

    I would assume you should state your name and the location and direction of you and the other vehicle, then give a vehicle description, then read the plate numbers, and while waiting for backup, cautiously follow the drunk driver with your hazard lights on and continuously relay the current direction of you and the other driver?

    Would that be the best way to handle the situation?

    Lastly, what is the best way to read a license plate? State, and then plate numbers?

    And what names should you use to describe the plate letters? Like if it was a New York plate CAB-7124 what are the best names to use when reading letters? Charlie, Amy, Billy, 7, 1, 2, 4?

    What are the names to use from A-Z. Should you use military names like Charlie, Alpha, Bravo?

  • Mucus always in the back of my throat. Always have to spit. Solutions?

    Since about 5 years ago, I've been slowly accumulating more mucus everyday in the back of my throat.

    So I constantly have to spit every few minutes. Not a lot comes out but it is noticeable. It is normal colored (whitish). I even keep a garbage next to me when I game and laying down at night. I spit outside my car window, into my sink, lol it's annoying after a while.

    I'm pretty sure I'm not allergic to anything and no matter where I am and at any point of the year, I always have to spit the small glob of mucus out. Same thing when I eat or drink anything.

    I've gotten used to spitting all of the time but I don't want to keep doing it around other people, especially if I'm eating at a restaurant with a female haha.

    It's not a habit for me, it's just that I have to clear my throat or else it just lingers there until I spit and then it just forms again.

    There is no pain or anything just that feeling of mucus chilling out in the back of my throat 24/7 ughhh.

    Any insight into this whole ordeal?

    Thanks in advance,

    ~Nick

    P.S. Sorry about the lengthy details, I just wanted to be clear (no pun intended).

  • What car company makes the best AWD system?

    Manufactures such as Audi, Lambo, Nissan, BMW, and Subaru, have models with an AWD drivetrain.

    Personally I think Subaru is the best because they make only (besides the BRZ) only AWD models, have been used in rally because of it's effectiveness, it works well with the small and lower to the ground boxer engine, etc.

    What company makes the best though?

  • Why do I play console games with vertical look inverted controls?

    When I was very young and I had a Play Station, my brother and I would always play video games with vertical inverted look controls (and we still do).

    Why do we (and other people) play like this? Why do we find it normal?

    Also, we don't invert look horizontally and do not invert in PC games. Why not if we do it on console games with the controllers?

  • Why do we laugh when we see someone else laughing?

    I was just watching a Key and Peele skit on YouTube (called Manly Tears) and I laughed harder and harder the more Keegan was laughing through the video.

    Why do humans do that? And why do we laugh when we think of something funny even when nobody is around?

    Thanks in advance,

  • How does a neck snap kill someone?

    In some movies and video games you see characters silently or excutionally killing another person from behind by snapping their neck.

    1) What happens when your neck is "snapped." Laymans terms are welcome :p

    2) Does it kill you immediately such as a bullet to the brain?

    3) Is it really as easy as they make it seem?

    4) Can you prevent someone from doing that to you?

    Sorry about being so curious, just nice to learn new things.

    Much appreciated,

  • Is it bad to always leave my iPhone on?

    Since I've gotten my first iPhone 5 and now my 5S, I always leave the phone on, even when sleeping.

    Sometimes I do a hard reset (lock and home button) to refresh it.

    Is it bad to leave it on all the time?

    I don't want to turn it off at night in case I need to answer calls, texts, have time alarms go off, etc.

  • Left jaw/cheekbone hurts when waking up?

    For the last 4 days or so, I've been waking up and on the left side of my face where my jaw meets my cheekbone has been a dull and aching pain.

    I can still feel it throughout the day but it's not that bad until I wake up the next morning.

    Since it started hurting I have been trying to sleep on my right side but I always fall asleep on my left side.

    My friend said he had this problem last week but then went away after a week or so.

    I don't know what it could be. It just started randomly hurting in the morning a few days ago.
