By far the worst heat sink were the round Intel ones with plastic twist screws... Almost felt like the mobo was going snap applying pressure to twist the screws

Worst part of pc building has always been getting a heat sink (which demanded blood from those sharp edges) or AIO pump to mount on first try. Seriously AMD why the two janky clips... My old AIO intel mount was four simple screws...

I will admit never really played a lot of turn based Rpg games but Expedition 33 is growing on me.

Western press going "why the ceasefire broke down is complex and multifaceted' you disgraces to journalism and humanity the ceasefire broke down because Israel kept murdering, starved the concentration camp, didn't keep to any agreement, and then straight-up started massacring Gaza again

Fucking hell, Israel has opened across-the-territory airstrikes on their Gaza concentration camp. They're just exterminating at this point. Israel rejected the peace offerings over and over, they broke the cease-fires over and over, and now they're bombing schools, refugee camps, children, humans.

You know in the Dark Knight Rises when Bruce puts on that bionic knee brace and gets the ability to kick down brick walls and instantly remove his knee pain. Is that for sale anywhere? Generic knee braces are kind of lame..

Man the Monolith shut down hits hard.
I owe a part my game early game self dev education to classics like No One Lives Forever 1 +2 and FEAR.
Shadow of Mordor was also amazing.
Luckily in my time in game dev I got to work with ex Monolith people who worked on those games!

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now.
So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof!
1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing.
2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.
