Come to think of it, I've had much better luck with what I call "Shenzhen Special" motherboards than I've had with ASUS and MSI, in the last 15 years. Seemed like, with both of them, the fancier the board, the more extra features and sci-fi bling, the more likely it was to have significant problems.

An unopened bottle of ammonium hydroxide, still zip-tied in its shipping bag, leaked down into the OSHA-approved flammables cabinet, which had a damaged seam due to its own shipping damage. Managed to avoid breathing much of it when I emptied the fun solvents from the cabinet, but just a little bit was enough to give me a scratchy throat. Nasty stuff. I think I'm going to leave that sort of thing to NileRed, from now on.

Just to clarify:

I’m less interested in shaming individuals for liking or not liking Harry Potter (or whatever their kink may be) than I am in the practical, concrete work of keeping money out of JK Rowling’s hands.

Less policing each other, more pitchforks pointed at billionaires.

@0x0ddc0ffee don't forget the AI/tech bros and the fucking VCs who think because they got lucky once they're touched with oracular vision from the Gods themselves.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

They changed the headline. This is what was before.

Lately, when someone refers to "that fucking moron", I'm more likely to need clarification whether they're talking about the shitclown or kegsbreath.
