Thermal grease can last for a good while now. The older stuff would cake up and not be able to transfer heat as well. New stuff is pretty incredible, I retired my AM4 build about 6 months ago, and I’d had the same CPU in it for around 5 years without changing the paste. Pulled the cooler and it was pretty much the same consistency as when I put it on. This was some kronaught stuff.

Yea it’s become one of my top books. I have listened to the audiobook probably 30 times now. I’ll go through a series like the Dresden files or the grey man and then PHM gets a listen.

Sure but the book doesn’t say he is jacked, just that he has muscle still after waking up from the coma

Todays AI is clippy on steroids. It’s not intelligent or creative. You can’t feed it physics and astronomy books without the equation for C and tell it to create the equation for C. It’s fancy autocorrect, and it’s a waste of compute and energy.

Just listen to the audio book. It’s read by ray porter and he nails it.

I really hope he keeps to the story, cause the martian was ok but they holywooded the shit out of it, and removed a lot of the stuff that made it a great book.

Naa he says in the beginning he has muscle tone still, not buff at all. He’s wondering why he has muscle when he first wakes up. The dude is a teacher and a self described coward. Plus spoilers at the end of the book I won’t say here.

Gosling is not a grace… really hope they do great but knowing hollywood they’re gonna turn grace into some hero that was always a hero vs what he was in the book a scared scientist that just loved knowledge.

It’s mainly tech savy people who don’t use it. Tons of people in companies use this shit. The number of people who use “ai” to take auto notes in meetings is insane. It’s a massive security risk but they do it anyways thinking it won’t be stored.

Yep, grabbed a 6900xt for my wifes PC build a few months ago here in the states for $400 and got an AIO and some free ddr5 ram with it. New isn’t always worth it. Older cards still have a ton of life left in them.

It’s not understandable at all. The telcos took nearly a trillion dollars from tax payers back in the 2000s to get broadband to everyone in the USA…and they basically stole it.

That’s true. I was more commenting on how good a game it was though, but I do think it’s peak story for me. KCD series is second. There hasn’t been another game for me that had such a crazy twist in it than spec ops.

Dunno why you’re being downvoted, that game was insanely good. Mediocre shooter, but the story was amazingly good.

Lots of FUDD here.

Over pen is going to happen on pretty much any round period. Slower rounds with larger mass will go through more usually in real life situations. The drywall videos are ok, but the issue with them is that they don’t show the other shit in the walls. Wires/firestops/insulation/studs. Exterior walls might have brick or stucco with tile. Doesn’t matter the round, you’re going to have over pen. Shoot a deer slug at a 2x4 stud and drywall, vs a 223/556 round…deer slug is winning every time.

Second, a AR pattern rifle is much, much easier to get on target and shoot for pretty much anyone compared to a shotgun or handgun.

Secondly people do call out the absolute bullshit rules of from the ATF and NFA. A shorter barrel doesn’t magically make a firearm more deadly, just like a suppressor doesn’t magically make a firearm silent. FUDD shit.

Lastly, a revolver is trash for defense, there is a reason pretty much every branch of LE or military has swapped to semi-auto mag fed handguns. They are easier to shoot, more accurate, hold more rounds, easier to reload, etc. On top of all this, you shouldn’t be loading something and tossing it in a drawer until you need it. You should be practicing with it at minimum monthly.

At the end of the day, making EV cars isn’t either unfortunately…but in the grand scheme of things. Both hydrogen and EV cars are more environmentally friendly than gas powered cars.

Explosion wise or climate wise?

Yea 1acre will not grow shit for more than a few people to enjoy food from randomly.

It’s not that they’re mutually exclusive, it’s that they do change your taste for a lot of people to the point that water just tastes off. So they’re less inclined to reach for water vs a sugary/fizzy drink.

Yep, you basically gotta force yourself to drink it. I was this way, then about 12 years ago, I stopped drinking fizzy/sugary drinks and went over to water. Took me a good month + to get used to it, but I literally feel 1000xs better just chugging H2O all day. Plus it taste way better now, and sugar/fizzy drinks are way to sweat for me.

Ah, yea that’s fair.
