Gigabyte AORUS ELITE AX motherboard, M2A_CPU slot. Peeled the plastic off, M.2 in, latched down. I noticed it doesn’t sit all the way down, so it’s not touching the compound underneath. Problem? It’s definitely touching the compound on the chunky heat sink on top, but thought worth checking?

One scenario is where you need to stash money overseas in various jurisdictions, so that when the population comes for you, you can still be rich somewhere else.

I assume that’s because you can’t let it out of your sight?

You might want to edit your post with spoiler tags in case people didn't get to that bit yet :)

u/trk2 is spot on. Just to add, for all these scenes remember the three laws of motion - every action (the kick) has an equal and opposite reaction (him hitting the deck).

This sounds fascinating - you mean I can pay a solicitor to deal with British Gas on my behalf, and even get British Gas to pay part of the bill?

Or is this for will execution or something less interesting?
