  • Thank you. I do have enough physical PCIE slots but I’m assuming its going to drop both of them down to x8 instead of x16. My PSU is a 1kw titanium rated one and I’m not going to be stressing to 1070 at all so it should be fine there. Unfortunately no onboard graphics because that would have made things easy. I’m not plannying on doing any fancy graphics setup and I’ll avoid bouncing windows between the screens until I remove the 1070. So here’s hoping it works for now.





  • FBS doesn’t contain cells. It’s a chemical/protein mixture used to grow various cell cultures. On It’s own it doesn’t do anything. It just contains most of the things that growing cells need.

    I actually know very little about it though. Check out The Thought Emporium on youtube if you want a better look at how it is all done. They do all sorts of fun stuff like engineering yeast to produce spider silk, growing neurons and using them for basic computation, making a meat berry, and using a genetically engineered virus to cure their lactose intolerance for a while.

    Edit: Also that youtuber did some testing on replacing FBS and the growth medium with other substances with some sucess. If I remember correctly, they found that for growing regular muscle cells they could replace like 60% of the FBS needed with egg yolk without harming the cells. But that’s still an animal product so it’s still not exactly vegan.








  • The Silt Verses - A fantasy horror podcast where gods are real, spawned solely through belief, feed on sacrifices (usually human), and have been corporatized. It’s amazing and the series just recently finished so there’s no waiting for the next episode to drop. Easily the best podcast I’ve ever listened to.

    Sawbones - An awsome medical history podcast by Justin and Dr. Sydnee McElroy. Sydnees part is pretty obvious, she’s a family medicine doctor and she researches and presents historical bits about all the ways we have tried to do medicine throughout history. Justin is just Justin, he’s a podcaster and games journalist by trade so he’s mainly there as a layman and as comedic support.

    The Magnus Protocol - Fantasy horor that I’m having trouble expplaining but it’s damn good. It’s made by the same creators that did the magnus archives. When they announced it on kickstarter after the magnus archives was finished they quickly earned over $700,000 so that should be some indication of how much people liked the magnus archives and the budget for the show.
