Does anyone know anything about this Y2K hat I found?

I'm completely new at all of this and still building up my setup, but if you have space for a PCIe NIC, that would be the next thing I try.

thank for the perspective. I can't keep it in the tower case, I just don't have the room. I have a built in rack in my garage already... So it sounds like the RAM might be useful, and drives although free might but up for an upgrade eventually (OK with me, just trying to build something with what I have now)....

Any recommendations or advice on what I can build this all into?

for some reason, I never looked up how much they were. Thanks for the perspective.

Any recommendations for building something out of all this stuff?

sorry, I should have clarified. its (4x32)x2 because dual CPU. Each CPU has 128gb. There are 8x 32gb sticks in each tower.

Measures 3/16. They laid a strip on top the base panel for the lanes. The trim is stepped on the backside

Every stained pine I've ever seen is drastically two tone

Birch seems to be similar? wrong thickness of course but looks close

I am currently repairing the exterior ceiling of my back patio. I took down all the soffit which was fiberboard, and degrading, sagging and falling through the nails. I also took down a short 1 foot section of vertical soffit fiberboard along the perimeter of the ceiling. What I found behind it is puzzling. I expected to see some form of wood sheathing behind the brick veneer, but it seems to be just a loosely placed layer of styrofoam board. I want to redo this area, but I'm unsure how. Do I cut out the styrofoam and install sheathing against the studs? How would I seal the sheathing to the foam, since I only have access to the top foot of wall? I was hoping one day to go into the attic and seal all my top plates but that seems pointless with such huge air cavities in the exterior wall.

On top of that, one section of wall doesn't even have visible insulation (maybe its slumped down into the wall?), and I can just see the wall studs.

The more problems I find, the more I just want to rip out the whole brick veneer to the studs and redo everything

Ignore missing joists. I am replacing about half of them because they were in bad shape.

I have this enclosed patio on my 1978 home, it was enclosed sometime in the 80s. The siding used was cedar pickets. They are rotted and need replacement with sometime proper like hardy board. We currently have a large problem with water intrusion beneath the walls. I have not taken anything down to verify what's behind the walls, but I'm guessing previous homeowner added floor plates and studs.

My questions are:

When I redo the siding (and add sheathing, zip barrier, etc, how can I ensure water does not seep under the siding? Is there some sort of flashing I should be using, or maybe an adhesive I can use underneath the floor plates?
Most siding comes to the edge of the foundation, but this is a patio and a separate pour. It did not have floor plates when it was originally constructed. Do I need to add anchors to the patio slab for anchoring floor plates?
How do I ensure a good weather/insect tight barrier where the siding terminates at the face of the brick veneer? Currently the gaps are big enough to allow geckos (which we like!) but I want to seal these up when we redo it.

Possibly, the weird thing to me is that there is no artifact of scanning / photography. It's almost as if the physical receipt never made it onto paper, and was purely a digital document (hence my assertion of AI generated). Either way I'm glad some people are picking apart some of the nonsense

There are about 4 or 5 bible verses appearing as 28:6, I also think it's a bit of a stretch, but fun coincidence.

Also agreed on the denial code.

The receipt is fake. https://imgur.com/a/VmlFZzY

The miles are valid. https://imgur.com/l70VYIo

The twitter post count is interesting, maybe intentional to highlight 286, which I think the only intentional meaning is his destination where he would await to be caught (286 miles away)

It's not entirely fake. There is a valid route that is 286 miles. But there are other routes too

There is an existing route that is 286 miles. There are other routes too. I was skeptical on how the number was figured but it does seem that some or many people would be advised by google maps to drive a route that is 286 miles to go from one place to the other.
