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.

A cycle race that is right up chat's alley (boom boom)
and then the final leg of the race is down the poop chute right
You jest, but people that build trails always give them insufferably whimsical names on strava
Anything remotely muddy gets termed "the poop chute"
Equally there are approximately six million "spooky woods" out there
I'm afraid to get on Strava and discover just how terrible I am at running compared to everyone else
Actually the joy of it is that there is pretty much always someone slower than you
If you have any level of fitness at ask you can reach, like, top twenty percent reasonably easily
Then you can convince yourself that the tier above you is occupied by people powergaming it in a manner that is not in the spirit of the thing, and thus claim the moral victory
I am tempted to believe you but I dunno this is NYC where all the hyper competitive Type A people run for fun (I live with one of these people so i kno)
Beasto is on Strava tho and will proudly announce when he does the Triboro bridge over and over faster than other people who have logged. Then he will tell me that elite runner Kaci Lickteig logged some casual 7:30min/mi run up a ridiculous incline for like 40 miles in Nebraska for training and I die
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.

last time I did an upgrade I did not realize my old RAM wouldn't work, so I did have to run to Fry's to finish my build.

My very first PC build in 1999 had bad ram.
That's two days of my life I'm never getting back.
Six on
can you feel the struggle within?

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.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Every PC I've every built (for myself) has had a DOA motherboard. All three of them. Some day I will build a PC and not have a dead motherboard but at this point I just expect it to not post.

this is Kaci Lickteig. She ran the Javelina Jundred Mile race the same year Beasto did. She was the first woman to finish at 15 hours 40 min 55 sec. if there was a banana for scale in this pic, you would see that she is barely bigger than the banana.
You see how she's got just one water bottle and a huge smile on her face? This bish doesn't bother with hydration packs or carrying gus or necessary sustenance to keep her body going, even when she's racing IN THE FUCKING DESERT. And she is constantly smiling, the entire time.

Let me get through low rank, and then I for sure will! I played through HR solo in MH4U and I get the strong impression that my experience was diminished for it.

Winky, take it down a couple of notches bro, you're getting a little traveling evangelist on us
though it pains me to say this about a Winky-When-High screed he is totally correct about this and isn't even exaggerating
there is really no way for people who haven't tried it to really get what room scale VR is like
though I still wouldn't actually buy the current gen of the Vive. The cables are bulky and too short and very easy to trip on or get tangled in. The headset is very noticeably heavier and less comfortable than the oculus (note: I wouldn't get the oculus either, I just mean that this shows it is possible with current tech to do better). The lack of a built in headphones like the oculus really is a problem for 3d audio as precision is so important there.
Also the IR transmitters are proving to be really unreliable and HTC is absolutely impossible (even compared to those fuckwits at valve) to deal with for returns or customer service. To deal with the issue they just put up replacement IR transmitters for sale. You can get one of those (for a price) right quick. It takes weeks, if ever, for them to respond to a customer whose transmitter just stopped working randomly.
I really want a V2 of either device. A Vive that has the ergonomics and headphones of the oculus or an oculus with the room scale stuff of the vive.

I can't wait to upgrade my pc
I am going to save up and do it all in one rather than piece by piece because I'm not an idiot
Every PC I've every built (for myself) has had a DOA motherboard. All three of them. Some day I will build a PC and not have a dead motherboard but at this point I just expect it to not post.
the last PC I built, everything worked fine on first power on and the os install went off without a hitch and I was just like, huh

This is the same with me.
I spend a day trying to fix it. Then one doing a replacement order. Then a week or two of waiting.
yes but the flip side of that is, you know, you can genuinely be bad at something or not be performing as well as you should &c
Yes it's complex to untangle.
I feel like people with impostor syndrome should:
1. if good, either work it out with a therapist and realize they are good or
2. if bad, git gud, or rework work ethic and be cool with being bad (therapist probably not required but idk)
but I'm unnecessarily hostile and confrontational about impostor syndrome because it's always put on me inaccurately. Like hey, you're at a meeting for women in science, I bet you have impostor syndrome cause all women do. Um, no, not at all, I know I'm awesome but I want to hang out and complain about my advisor and figure out if he's being sexist in the way he underestimates me.
Meh.
Probably it comes from an anxious personality and just telling people to work it out with a therapist is mean. Sorry. I know that's not a viable solution for everyone.

(going to a conference in this case = getting on the metro and going like 2 stops over)
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
