I mean...I'm guessing I do because of the mathematical likelihood but beyond that I'm just being a retard. Any advice? I'm guessing this is my version of Sisyphus and I'm doomed to move switches labeled contrast and gamma and all sorts of important sounding crap that means nothing insofar as playing Witcher 3 has to do with anything, anytime, anywhere, ever. I bet I won't eve

Swapping to two gtx 1080's in sli vs 2 titan x Is this a worthwhile move (I already have two Titan X cards in sli)or a waste of money?

For that we're assuming he has a Colt Single Action Army w/ .45 caliber. Thus: for SI --> Joules = 564. For American whatever it'll be 416ft-lbs. Both...ya, check with the school shooter for specifics. Ah - accounting for twist as introduced in your typical rifled barrel - which, I guess, we can assume was in the box of fun things in his dad's closet. Greenhills formula is older...and, tho still 'accurate-ish' fails to account for
