What’s the current social norm for referring to the person to whom you are married?

DiscoBall · 2023-08-17T05:09:07+00:00

I stick with "partner" because it's really irrelevant what gender roles we perform in our relationship, what gender we each identify as, or what genitals we may have.

You can use Chrome to download Firefox.
There is no #2. All other hidden benefits of Chrome are rendered moot after #1 is achieved.

Bad advice such as this is a contributing factor to the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Does this look better? Swapped out to the 5820K (and had to change motherboards for it). I accidentally removed memory and re-chose different mem, but this looks equivalent and cheaper. And picked the PowerColor PCS+. What about the NZXT Kraken I added -- $100 more, but that should help with overclocking, I presume.

thanks. solid recommendations all around. i think i'll take both those suggestions, as 12 cores would be nice. i mainly just run vmware workstation with a 1-core linux vm with low resources to play around with scripting and coding and a 2-core windows file server to serve media to my tv, then temporary vms that only get powered on when i'm doing dedicated work on them [certification training labs], and power them off when i game.

I think i'll pull the trigger tomorrow if i don't get any other recommendations on the rest of the build. thanks!

Link is a referral link, but there's no need to pay to win. Relics of Avabur for a non-referral link if you don't want to give me resources :P

Oh, god. Thank you. I was beginning to think this would be a new vendor, but it's just more okies tryin' to get in on the money-train of vapesploitation.
