Additionally, the existence of an out transgender person elected to Congress implies the existence of an out transgender person not elected to Congress.

Couldn't that just as easily be solved with a database of illnesses which can be filtered by symptoms?

GeForce GT 610.

It was the cheapest GPU available at the time, imagine my disappointment when I tried to run Minecraft with shaders and barely got more than a slideshow.

That's not going to go away by switching to AMD or some ARM implementation, they all have their own equivalent. Maybe if you're running some fully libre open-source RISC-V chip, but those are currently nowhere near capable of competing on the big stage for anything other than embedded/hobbyist stuff.

Traditional graphics code works by having the CPU generate a sequence of commands which are packed together and sent to the GPU to run. This extension let's you write code which runs on the GPU to generate commands, and then execute those same commands on the GPU without involving the CPU at all.

This is a super powerful feature which makes it possible to do things which simply weren't feasible in the traditional model. Vulkan improved on OpenGL by allowing people to build command buffers on multiple threads, and also re-use existing command buffers, but GPU pipelines are getting so wide that scenes containing many objects with different render settings are bottlenecked by the rate at which the CPU can prepare commands, not by GPU throughput. Letting the GPU generate its own commands means you can leverage the GPU's massive parallelism for the entire render process, and can also make render state changes much cheaper.

(For anyone familiar, this is basically a more fleshed out version of NVIDIA's proprietary NV_command_list extension for OpenGL, except that it's in Vulkan and standardized across all GPU drivers)

Only if the old software happens to have drivers compatible with the new hardware, which it almost certainly doesn't.

Not the same person, but in my case I'm 182cm and my waist is 76cm. If I were 40cm shorter I'd actually (barely) be in the green area!

"Better" in the sense that it actually has the ability to check for corruption at all, as all metadata and data are checksummed.

I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.
