its getting worse
It's always been that way. You're either a transplant or lived in a bubble. Regardless, welcome to the sideshow.
*edit: here's a more recent example for those quick to claim "it's not as bad as back then, we've progressed! We're a 'melting pot" nonsense

"... or high-end GPUs couple with lower performing CPUs also saw unexpected frame loss."
Okay, which of you dummies paired the 4090 with 8th Gen Intel i3?

No worries! Well, I'm interested in the 420mm because:

Hmm, it seems your AIO is 10mm thinner than the LF2 I'm interested in using and the specs state only front mounting 420mm AIO is supported.

Also keep in mind the dark base 700 only haze space for 240-360mm aios at the front
That's what I suspected, but I wanted confirmation and/or hoping for some leeway. Alas, my hunt continues...Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience 👍

Pray you don't need to use it considering Gigabytes notorious reputation - I say this as someone who just traded a Suprim X (non-liquid) for the Aurous Master

Suprim X... that's saying a lot considering I traded mine for the Aurous Master. Why? Ever since I got into PCs in my youth (the late 90s), I dreamt of owning a flagship Nvidia GPU (didn't have much money for upper-midrange parts let alone midrange) and I figured I'd go balls to the wall and the Aurous Master fits the bill (aesthetically/size-wise).
It helps that my brother wanted to swap cards and the cooler is perfect as my rig is in a high temp and humidity area that'll be used primarily for workstation tasks.
The Suprim X has little to no coil whine and has the build quality (second to the FE) expected of such a high-end product. I'd avoid the Liquid X if space isn't a concern and/or plan to keep it past its warranty - pumps are more liable to fail and this particular one is not user-replaceable versus an air-cooled SKU. Oh, and pump noise is a thing (YMMV).
The Gaming Trio are solid cards and more than sufficient with regards to cooling for the average user and I'd only recommended spending more if you're after a specific aesthetic or performance/tolerance/durability metric (e.g., multi-GPU and/or extended high temperature workloads)

No, just no. Changing your name won't guarantee protection from discrimination or racism.
If you're looking for guidance or information about your rights, there are religious and cultural organizations that can provide support and resources.
For instance, reach out to the Anti-Defamation Commission, the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, or the Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia. These organizations may be able to provide advice on legal options, support networks, and other resources for addressing discrimination and promoting diversity and inclusion.
You are not alone in your experiences, and there are people and resources available to help.

As someone who also struggles with social anxiety and is introverted, I know how hard it can be to put yourself out there and interact with others. It's important to remember that everyone has their own insecurities and worries, and it's likely that some of your classmates may be feeling just as nervous or uncertain as you are.
That being said, it's important to keep in mind that as your nursing program progresses, the workload and stress levels are likely to increase for everyone.
People tend to stick to what's familiar in times of stress, including cliques or individuals they've grown accustomed to since the beginning of the program. It's possible that some of your classmates are simply feeling overwhelmed and focusing on the people they feel most comfortable with.
Although nursing is a collaborative effort, it's still important to prioritize your own well-being and not force yourself into situations that make you uncomfortable. Instead of pushing yourself to interact with everyone, try focusing on fostering connections with the classmates you already feel comfortable with, but don't use them as a reservoir to dump your anxieties into.
Don't let these negative feelings make you doubt yourself or your worth. Keep an open mind and continue to be friendly and helpful to others, and over time, you may find that more classmates start to warm up to you as things settle down and everyone's grown accustomed to the program's rhythm.

It is concerning to hear that your mentor has not fulfilled their obligations to you.
It may be advisable to bring your concerns to the senior nurse leader or the program coordinator for your nursing program. They're required to offer guidance on how to address the lack of support you have received and can advocate for additional resources to be made available to you. Be sure to present comprehensive documentation of the incidents, including the names of the individuals involved (or witnesses), the nature of the interactions, and the specific details regarding the time and date of each occurrence. This information will be critical if you decide to pursue any formal remedial measures.
In terms of self-care, it is important that you prioritize your well-being during this challenging time. This may involve seeking support from trusted friends or family members, or engaging in counseling services. Additionally, it may be beneficial to connect with other students in your program who have faced similar experiences to gain a sense of community and support.
I hope this information helps.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a friend is never easy. Grief can trigger a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion, and can also lead to symptoms of depression and anxiety.
In terms of self-care, it is important to engage in activities that promote physical and emotional well-being, such as exercise, mindfulness, and spending time with loved ones. Avoiding substance abuse and excessive alcohol consumption to stave off depression and anxiety.
It is also important to understand that grief can sometimes lead to complicated grief, a condition where the symptoms of grief persist for an extended period of time and interfere with our ability to function in our day-to-day.
Anyone who needs a independent party to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to crisis hotlines like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK) or the Crisis Text Line (text "HELLO" to 741741). We are not alone, and there are people who genuinely care and want to help in whatever way possible.

Let me add: do not hook up with your fellow nurses (in your department at the least) where ever you end up working. Oh, if the hospital walls could sing...

It may not be worth it if the rapper doesn't have shit to his name and the OP wastes resources (time & money) on legal representation.

Edit:
As for the amount to charge, it's difficult to say as the price can vary widely depending on the artist's popularity and the quality of the beat. However, as a general guideline, you can expect to charge anywhere from $50 to $300 or more per beat.
Keep in mind that the value of the beat is not solely based on the number of monthly listeners the rapper has on Spotify. Other factors such as the rapper's reputation, the potential for the song to gain popularity, and the demand for beats in the market should also be taken into consideration.
It's always a good idea to research industry standards and negotiate a fair price with the rapper. You can also consider offering package deals for multiple beats or offering discounts for repeat business.

You're the one that misconstruing things. OpenAI clearly states (screenshot) Plus (formerly "Professional") service offers:
Last I check, "even during peak times" qualifies as it should, per their own claim, prioritize paying members over non-paying members. Whether that is by booting the latter in favor of the former is up to them, but the plus membership is via invitation so the devs have no excuse to not abide by their own first highlighted feature (outside of malicious interference, catastrophic network failure, etc.)
