    I haven't had any serious problems building a PC since, like, 2004.

    Not that I do it that often.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Skippy what kind of tea are you drinking?

    I used to drink only tea and then switched to pretty much only coffee, but I liked tea more.

    Or...I like most teas better than I like coffee from a big pot, but not as much as I like a nice espresso, maybe?

    so the other day I was complaining to some friends about the egregious number of poops I take during a typical workday

    and they sleuthed out that this may be related to the fact that I was drinking like, 1x 4-shot latte + 1x 20oz coffee + 1x diet coke before lunch

    so yesterday I had 1x 20oz coffee + 1x 20oz chai tea

    today I am having 1x 20oz coffee + 1x 20oz earl grey

    after I get used to that for a few days I will look at continuing to walk the total caffeine amount down

    years ago I used to do periodic caffeine resets where I'd go cold turkey (with 2 week headache) and then be off it for a while

    idk if that is my end goal or not here

    I think tea does not make you poop even if it has as much caffeine as the coffee.

    ..huh, I wonder if that's true.

    I feel like a lot of you are using knowledge of "how to build a computer from scratch in 2001" and are reminiscing about zipzoomfly and tigerdirect and then panicking because you forgot arctic silver and need to run to CompUSA or Fry's to finish your build.

    naw you're having trouble breaking out of your own lifestyle and perceiving the general case

    Nope.

    I build, on average, 20 computers a year.

    I'd say the other cases are edge and outliers.

    I don't really see VR taking off because of how closed off it makes you and how goofy it is. I especially don't see the room-scale stuff taking off because of how it asks you to blindly walk around a room you can't see. But who knows.

    My last pc, the compact VR build with a 980Ti in it, included a closed loop cooling system installed in a space scarcely large enough to contain the radiator alone. It's impossible to service in under 3 hours. If it has any problem, I'm just putting the whole thing in the trash.

    Imposter syndrome is a myth.

    It assumes that your feelings of inadequacy are undeserved.

    Let me assure you: you are human, which means you are terrible. Your feelings of inadequacy are entirely deserved.

    Pfft, any dim-witted nincompoop can see that humanity is loathsome, people are stupid both as individuals and in groups, and anybody who believes themselves to have worth is suffering from delusions, possibly a form of psychosis.

    the front panel connectors are a weirdly antiquated standard. You'd think by now some MB manufacturer would have some sort of quick-connect plug carrying all those wires, with an adapter to the standard pin header for cases without the plug.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-Connector

    It's beautiful. Asus 5 lyfe.

    yeah that's what ends up happening (and what I've had on my last two PCs) but I want them to take it a step further.

    Replace the pin header on the mobo with an actual socket, give the standard out to all the case manufacturers, provide a little socket->pin header adapter.

    Meh, the Q connector itself is fine. I only ever hook up power & reset anyway (and these days reset is getting pointless, can't remember when I used it last). I dislike having the lights so I keep them disconnected

    I volunteered at a 60k (like a marathon and a half) once and one guy ran it in linen shorts, a dress shirt with rolled up sleeves, and flip flops and he did sub-8:30 miles straight through.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
    And things seem hard or tough,
    And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,

    And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,

    Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
    And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
    It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
    The sun that is the source of all our power.
    Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
    Are moving at a million miles a day,
    In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
    Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.

    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
    It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
    It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
    But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
    We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
    We go 'round every two hundred million years;
    And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
    In this amazing and expanding universe.

    Speaking of terrible humans

    There's a new senior employee in my department and he keeps getting my name wrong.

    Fine, whatever. Except that he keeps getting my name mixed up with a certain other employee who is particularly useless. Every time he does it, I feel like he is directly insulting me.
