RELATED: Nvidia and AMD Graphics Card Prices Are Nearly at MSRP From the chart listed on the report, it looks as though the aforementioned AMD RX 6600 XT is one of the best GPUs in terms of overall value. Other Radeon products, such as the 6650 XT, 6700 XT, and 6750 XT seem to score pretty high as well. As for team green’s hardware, it’s been suggested that GPUs from Nvidia’s previous generation are of better value than the likes of the RTX 30-series....

Clint Dempsey scored in the first half to put the US in front before De Andre Yedlin was sent off early in the second half on Saturday. Paraguay were eliminated in the group stage for only the second time in the last 10 editions of Copa America. Paraguay had a golden chance in the 11th minute, attacking three-on-one. The US centre back John Brooks stayed in position before delivering a perfectly timed tackle on Miguel Almiron as part of a Man of the Match performance....

The world’s busiest airline has cited a combination of heavy winds at two major hubs and staffing shortages for the travel chaos. American Airlines has confirmed to Newsweek some 338 flights were canceled today, representing 6 percent of its total schedule. This is compared to 1,060 flights grounded on Sunday, 548 on Saturday and 343 on Friday—meaning 2,289 flights have been disrupted in the past four days. David Seymour, the airline’s chief operating officer, said in a note to employees seen by CNN: “With additional weather throughout the system, our staffing begins to run tight as crew members end up out of their regular flight sequences....

Consider all that has happened recently: The Supreme Court ruled that states couldn’t make gay sex illegal. New York City is setting up a full-fledged high school for gay students (to prevent abuse of homosexual teens, city officials said, not to give a select group of students a way to honor the Supreme Court ruling). The openly conservative New York Post put a gay couple on the front page–and applauded their union–after they got married in Toronto....

The neighborhood was hardly the ex-president’s first choice. In fact, Harlem became something of a safe port in the storm created after Clinton announced plans to rent luxury space in a midtown Manhattan building that would’ve cost weary taxpayers nearly $1 million a year in rent. Harlem’s 125th Street–the so-called Main Street of black America–offered the former president a way out: unconditional love at an unbelievable rent. When I heard earlier this year that Clinton was really moving to Harlem, I must admit I reacted like most New Yorkers: Good, keep him and his motorcades out of midtown!...

Or, in this case, a Martini glass. As I write this, I am guzzling something called a Nicotini, which, as the name suggests, is a cocktail with a smoker’s cough–an ethereal blend of vanilla-flavored vodka, the coffee liqueur Kahlua and a splash of tobacco juice. And later, when I looked back on my increasingly seismic handwriting, it appeared I enjoyed it. According to my notes, the Nicotini had a pleasing taste, which I described as either like a Maryland crabcake or a vanilla cupcake that had been sitting near an ashtray for an hour or so....

By comparison, as the season advanced, the mathematical probability of a club winning the league with American investors either in control or owning a substantial stake was better than 1-in-3. MORE: Ranking the EPL’s American owners from worst to absolute worst Leicester’s comfortable romp to the title is being viewed as one of the greatest upsets in the history of world sport. But why is it starting to feel like an American owner somehow getting his hands on the BPL trophy would come as an even greater surprise?...

On Wednesday, U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price urged American citizens to leave Ukraine as quickly as possible, and President Joe Biden gave a similar announcement in an interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt last week. As tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue to grow, the American University Kyiv is planning to launch its first classes in March, and the university’s founder, Roman Sheremeta, plans to remain in Ukraine to oversee the opening....

Northam announced the directive following a meeting with Peninsula Health District officials earlier in the day. He also ordered a 14-day shutdown of local offices in areas of southeast Virginia that have been hit by the coronavirus outbreak. “This is a very fluid and dynamic situation. We have not mandated a quarantine, but we are strongly encouraging and urging people to avoid public gatherings of any kind,” Northam said, according to the Associated Press, before telling those residing in the peninsula district to “cancel” all events with several people....

When he's not buying Christmas trees the size of redwoods, or wearing fancy vests made out of his game uniform, he's giving back to the fans of Toronto.

Where did he decide to hold this year's event?...

RELATED: Mass Effect 2’s Suicide Mission is a Master Class in Companion-Based Video Games The Problem With Mass Effect Canon The Mass Effect trilogy tells a fantastic story about found family and the hope that good leadership can instill in the hopeless. Conversely, it can also tell a story about how sometimes war brings out the worst in those fighting and how power can be used for personal gain. The way that those opposing ideologies can be told in a single series is due to Mass Effect’s branching story and choice system that allows the player to role-play as either a paragon Commander Shepard or a renegade rogue version of the character who’s only out for themselves....

America is God’s Crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming….Germans and Frenchmen, Irishmen and Englishmen, Jews and Russians–into the Crucible with you all! God is making the American! The imagery comes from steelmaking, which was state-of-the-art technology then. The play is “The Melting-Pot,” a phrase that has lived ever since. Zangwill, despondent at the eclipse of many of his political ideals, suffered a nervous breakdown and died in England in 1926....

It’s not that city officials are hostile to the timeless music of The Village People. It’s the dancing that’s illegal. Call it whatever you like–writhing, shimmying, bumping, grinding, “the white-man’s overbite”–but if three or more people are executing it in a bar, nightclub or music hall that does not have a valid New York City “cabaret” license, the establishment will be fined. If such “violations” occur again, they can be padlocked....

Day, 27, was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital after he was knocked out by his countryman in the 10th round of a bout on the undercard for Oleksandr Usyk’s heavyweight debut against Chazz Witherspoon.

Putting aside the question of good manners (recent years have taught us that no time is too early to politicize a tragedy), what got my attention during the President’s remarks was the immediate, unapologetic foisting of domestic American politics on a completely foreign affair. Of course, President Biden is hardly the first to engage in this kind of centrifugal thinking when it comes to the U.S. The unblinking pivot from foreign to domestic is nothing short of a long-standing tradition....
