the PSU is now the noisiest component in this PC but I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about it

Delmain

Nope.

Incredibles 2 must contain lines as good as:

"Don't! Touch! My! Sister!"
"You keep trying to pick a fight, but I'm still just happy you're alive."
"United, against, uh, the forces of-" "Pigheadedness." "Really? I was going to say 'evil'."

There's not anything you can do. Unless you want to submerge it in oil

I was thinking of something less dramatic, like re-lubricating the PSU fan, perhaps

There's going to be an Incredibles 2?

There are no concrete plans, no. We're just spitballing because Monsters University came out yesterday

keikaku etc.

it's actually now much quieter than when I first set it up, although I question the case's design choices. The powerful PSU-supplied case fans should be in the front, forcing air in, rather than shoveling so much air out through the back and top.

Monsters University is getting good reviews, so I am glad they aren't continuing their tend of shitty sequels.

Cars is just a shitty movie franchise that prints money.

The reviews seem kinda tepid to me. It's a great movie for kids, but it borrows heavily from college caper films and coasts on the charms of the first film without breaking new ground.

Mine gets loud after I dust around my case with compressed air. Goes away after awhile -- presumably once the dust blows out.

Also: I forget sometimes that Stephen Colbert is a Tolkien nerd. Must help him get lots of Street Credits with his core demographic of Stoner Nogoodniks, and probably his secondary core audience of 70s Metal Bands.

My fiancee is a huge Doctor Who nerd.

We are getting married in August and having a vaguely Who themed wedding.

I think I am going to buy a brown pinstripe suit and wear that instead of a tux and surprise her with it.

Hi I'm Vee!

@Kalkino Yeah, my sister and I get into London on the 25th of July and leave on the 29th, although I think only the 26th and 27th would be open for possible festivities.

Tamin

so apparently I had a dark blue star trek tng uniform when I was much younger. I have no clear memory of this.

Organichu

do any of you bros use dr scholl's or whatever kind of aftermarket insoles

the length is fine (i trimmed them to the appropriate length) but i feel like i have very little vertical space

should i rip out the original insole? shit's glued in there

The first one was just Doc Hollywood, but with cars.

:edit: The first Cars, I mean.

Hi I'm Vee!

Every insole I've ever used has been meant to replace the insole of the shoe.

I saw a link to a video about how sexism still exists, but the girl in the video was ugly so I figured she probably didn't have anything worth listening to.

It's only sexual harassment if you're not hot.

Hamurabi, in regards to the link you posted last night, it's not the first time that's happened. DC has a long history of promoting Superman via faith based promotion, and there have been various religious leaders from all of the Abrahamic faiths who have used him as a symbol in various sermons. The difference here is really that DC didn't do their usual interfaith approach and just targeted Christians. I'm not sure I'd put the film in the realm of Christ allegory though. There are lots of references and symbols of faith within the film but

The closest thing you could argue to the death and resurrection would be the death of his innocence in killing Zod. And that's a super weak argument. To me it felt much more as if they they were playing up the Superman as god aspect rather then Superman as Jesus aspect.

TehSpectre

Raven, do you think this is a good approximation? (The suit, not the shirt or tie)

I would not do that just because someone is a huge Doctor Who nerd.

But if the damn wedding is Doctor Who themed? Damn straight you should do it.

Ugh, I slacked off on doing my vocal exercises this week and my pipes are noticeably less effective.

What disappointed me was that there were a couple of ideas that could have been interesting if the movie was planned around them, but as is it's a mishmash of stuff, and the fridge logic the nature of the world of Cars provokes is compounded by story elements and at least one joke.

Organichu

yeah it seems like it's meant to replace them

the insole's coming out, it's just kind of a cheap foam piece of shit and it's ripping lol

this'll take a while

I think the Superman story has exactly as much to do with Christianity as you want it to -- that's sort of the nature of open-ended religious reinterpretation.

I'm more fascinated by the Christian Industrial Complex™.

During elementary school, there were a few years where we'd stick some eggs in an incubator and grow us some animals. We mostly did chicks, but also the occasional gosling (those were not of a Ryan nature, I'm afraid). One year we had a premie chick that came out literally assless. I don't know what was going on, but its butt was missing and some of its insides were just hanging out. Despite all that, it lived a very happy life (for a few days). It was the first time I've ever really had to deal with death.

Hi I'm Vee!

Anyway, Kalkino, if you respond to my post be sure to @ me because I'm heading to my parents for the evening.

Later [chat]

I am watching the third Transformers movie. I don't understand why I am watching it, but I am.
