A quick definition of House of Representatives:

House of Representatives: The House of Representatives is a part of the U.S. Congress. It is made up of 435 people who are elected every two years. The number of people from each state is based on how many people live there. The House of Representatives is also the name for the lower house of some state governments.

A more thorough explanation:

The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress. It is made up of 435 members who are elected every two years. The number of representatives each state has is based on its population.

For example, California has a larger population than Wyoming, so California has more representatives in the House of Representatives than Wyoming does.

The House of Representatives is responsible for creating and passing laws. They work together with the Senate, which is the upper chamber of Congress, to make decisions that affect the entire country.

Each member of the House of Representatives represents a specific district within their state. They are elected by the people who live in that district.

For example, if you live in California's 12th congressional district, you would vote for the person who will represent that district in the House of Representatives.

no specifically intel stock. the company is at a crossroads. I am currently using an intel i5 from 2017. If I were to build another PC, I think I would go AMD.

llama

22:13

@starfishies: for gaming?

IrishDinosaur

22:13

@starfishies: nvidia is good. I've got it in my gaming pc, works well

llama

22:18

new Nvidia cards are coming out soon, hopefully there will be some good deals out there to snatch up

starfishies

22:22

gaming yes! i think nvidia software and drivers are better than amd imo

llama

22:25

nice ya agreed for gaming: DirectX and the drivers for games are just so much ahead. I do not game, more of just multitasking office stuff, so AMD would be just fine for me

IrishDinosaur

22:34

starfishies

22:38

starfishies
