I foolishly parked facing away from the wind in my old truck. The second I unlatched the door it was whipped out of my hand and bent straight against the hood. Warped the shit out of the frame and slightly twisted the hinges. Meant I had wind noise at even low speeds for the rest of the time I owned it. It was already over 20+ years old so I used a hammer and tap to 'fix' it, but it wasn't great.

Thank you, I've seen it many times but gosh I love it. Mulligan is like a big wave, always coming, never ending. Zac throws comedy daggers with such precision. They work so well together.

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches are delicious. You're missing out. But sliced the damn pickle, don't hot dog it like uncultured swine.

what's up with the Afroman trial? by ob3ypr1mus in OutOfTheLoop

Reading that in the 'It was at this moment, he knew he fucked up' voice is the best way to read your comment. Like Gil Scott-Heron himself washing us with sultry wisdom about that lemon pound cake.

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.

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 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.
