Mars is a dumb planet. Saturn rules.

I never read The Martian Chronicles. Or anything from Ray Bradbury, for that matter. I really should.

Santa Clause Conquers the Martians is the greatest piece of reflections of the light spectrum bouncing off of objects and applied to photosensitive celluloid in the history of mankind.

What did Cain do? I hear something about a kerfuffle?

Stop doing that mid conversation with no warning.

Saturn is just a poser. All going 'See me Jupiter, I can do a storm too!' even though Jupiters one is clearly bigger, longer.

changing a tire is easier than problem solving while building a computer your first time (if I understand the situation right)

no idea what you're making a reference to.

And 21st, what temps are you seeing that it's making you worry?

Here:

Herman Cain told members of his campaign staff on Tuesday that he was reassessing whether to proceed with his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, an aide confirmed, a day after an Atlanta woman disclosed details of what she said was a 13-year affair with him.

In a morning conference call with his advisers, Mr. Cain said that he would make a decision in the coming days about whether to stay in the presidential race after his campaign was rocked by another round of allegations about his sexual conduct.

A woman came forward claiming 13 years of affairs.

I approve of this chat.

Also lud, the difference between changing a tire and building a computer are... I don't even know how to phrase it.

One is the simplest tool secured to a thing with a few bolts and one is basically sorcery.

I built computers, dogg. It isn't that bad but the # of things that can go stupid... man, fuck thermal paste.

but I am awesome so I pay people to do my things for me. CAPITALISM.

That makes me sad, bro. One of my favorite 80s memes:

AT ANY RATE! Building that computer makes me feel bad, not good. I don't want to build another computer right now.

Just trying to re-seat my heatsink made me so angry and feel so bad and stressed out.

I think it was badly seated and that the paste wasn't applied well, but I'm not sure I re-applied it well either. I've no idea how to make the heat paste application work.

He's been banging a white chick behind his wife's back for the past 13 years. Only quit when he decided to run for president.

He was in contact with a woman who wasn't his wife for two and a half years. When confronted about this, Cain said he kept calling her because he only wanted to make sure she had financial aid to make it through hard times.

Financial aid being, "I'll give you fifty bucks if you suck mah dix."

@21stCentury why did you not use the stock heatsink/fan that came with the processor? It has the goo on it by default and all you've got to do is snap it into place and make sure it's tightened if applicable. As for building computers it's super easy until you start adding aftermarket pieces and overclocking.

Powerpuppies

dude building a computer is not hard once you're practiced at it

and changing a tire would be p daunting if you were doing it for the first time without anyone to show you how

they seem p similar to me

Yeah but you buy from cyberpower, the anal fisters of the custom PC industry.

The Tyson / Cain video should probably win the 2011 Internet Video Award.
That thing is just amazing.

To be fair, who doesn't want to bang white broads behind their wife's back?

Again, you didn't answer the question.

What temperatures, these are generally two digit numbers, are you seeing, that it makes you worry that it's not working right?

The largest problem with assembling computers is getting heatsink/fans on properly. It's like 1000000000 times harder if you don't use the stock one that comes with the CPU. It's not even funny I don't even like doing it. Getting the goo on there is a pain itself. If you apply more than a half of a pea you'll probably fuck up the CPU.

Aftermarket heatsink for better performance. Clearly an error on my part.

And then you have to be like "woah woah there Sven -- last time I heard one of you blondes get all uppity with this traitor talk we had to whip him to death!"

Because stock heatsinks are for plebians with bad morals.

It takes temperatures reaching 90degrees Celsius to damage processors too, by the way. My CPU and GPU run between 60-80 deg Cel.

SanderJK

I was able to change a tire on a car in 15 minutes with the only outside instruction being the little plate on the body where you are supposed to put the jack by a fellow at the gasstation. First and only time.
This is significantly different from building a PC.

Didn't try it out yet.

I just already feel stressed out and I need to calm down. Geez, you're always so forceful. It's not helping my anxiety. chill out, dude. It'll help me chill out.

Yeah I welded it myself. It was all done with MIG welding.

Except the wood table top. I made that with wood welding.

90 celsius is how high it reached when I last tested it out...

You're right I shouldn't have made the comparison

it was dumb


building a pc is easier

Yup. Gretzky has something like 1950 assists and Mark Messiar has something like 1880 points.

Organichu

i think even before he reapplied it he wasn't hitting 90? i could be misremembering but i seem to remember his spikes being 80? and running typically lower than that
