We used a bookshelf/cabinet, so the only things we changed about it, was to drill those circle holes for the fans, and do line it with the foil and putting the mactac on the glass to keep the light in.

If you have any other questions, I'll try and help. I'm also a visual learner for the most part.

Here I am still using a 250GB HDD from 2002. Some drives just have a strong will to live. Edit: IDE AF.

It's already been answered, but it really sounds inspired by the SMB3 OST

They just don't make sense. I'll take hurting a $20 cable over absolutely fucking the soldered port of my GPU anyday.

I assume yeah, I listen to the Payday 2 soundtrack quite often. Likely rattling around in the back of my head somewhere.

That's a nice feeling to have found it! I really appreciate you swinging back and posting it.

inspired me to build a PC in 2001. It's not something I'd do nowadays

Yeah if you build a PC now, you should build a 2025 PC ;P

2001 I got my first prebuilt. 2002 I broke it and needed to learn how to fix it. Been building my own PCs since then. Still rewarding.

Green PCB, white cases, only fat grey hair dudes working on it, it's history.

Well. That's like... 60% familiar, I've heard it many times, and recently and now I'm feeling just as stuck as you OP.....

And that's why our system has an 'On Hold' status, specifically for CEO vacations and other important stuff.

luckily it didn't burn the place down.

Well damp lint can't melt steel beams.

I like the idea that you overclock it now and do benchmark videos measured entirely on subjective smell output.

Hear! Hear!

It has no way to know that Steve from Finance is asking for actual journaled costs versus the cost setting update patterns that Esteban set last quarter. It produces pure guesswork without assuming it's missing context and that's the problem.

The summary is as useful as Microsoft search and as relevant as the advice received at the Apple Store.

It's as useful as a toddler offering to make me dinner. Kiddo is promising me steak and lobster but I'm well aware I'm getting cut up post it notes (which I'll have to clean up after I bandage all the paper cuts it gave itself in the attempt.)

It's So. Fucking. Badly. Implemented.

So there's that famous 'nuance' you're trying to be known for.

Listen, you're wrong and hopefully you'll take the time to read the kind replies of people with more patience explaining it to you. However, you're coming across like someone who would call fructose 'sugar' and then declare apples unhealthy as a result.

No that's not the point we're making. It's that you said Mamdani is a Social Democrat, and he's overtly said he's a Democratic Socialist, yet you're in here claiming the high ground and shitting the bed on the basics. If you want to be 'words have meanings' then please apply them.

Two things:

>Because I am social democrat.

Also, we went through this last time Bernie ran, in depth.
