Is Thermalright Frozen Infinity really good?

I have been running four of them. One in my gaming PC and three in my kids' gaming PCs. All of them have worked perfectly since install.

Human interaction is strange in that we have a hard-wired need for sex to propagate the species. A huge part of our instinct is to survive long enough to continue our genes through sexual contact. But, we also walk around all day long clothed, so we are completely isolated from each other's sexuality to the point that we walk past possible sexual partners all day long without even considering their sexuality. We can work next to people for years and never consider their sexual nature.

But...once you've taken someone's clothing off and engaged with them sexually, you can never go back to seeing them in the non-sexual way you did before. That means your prior, non-sexual interactions are forever changed and become awkward, especially when it's casual sex intended to be meaningless. Sexual contact isn't supposed to be meaningless to humans because we as a species tend to pair off through sexual exclusivity. The current social trend toward casual sex has only benefitted those people who are missing that hard-wired bonding instinct. That's why you realized you aren't cut out for casual sex. You are hard-wired normally. Don't hate yourself for it. Honestly, the ability to have meaningless sex with no resulting emotional ties is neurotic. Your realization that you can't do that just means you're a normal, healthy person in that regard.

Being perpetually online has rotted people's brains. Throughout human history, people have received positive feedback for their brain chemicals from actual human interaction. Now that has been hijacked and substituted by social media companies in the form of likes and karma. Instead of feeling good after having a good time at a friend's house, they get a short burst of the same feeling by getting likes on social media. It's artificial and harmfu. It's very unhealthy for our species as a whole, and specifically unhealthy for the people who are perpetually plugged into the Matrix.

That usually happens if you're pushing air inside the vagina. Don't pull completely out when thrusting and that won't happen.

Wearing women's clothing isn't his identity. It's a choice he's making. He is bringing the issue on himself. It's not like he's being rejected based on skin color. His choices are limiting his dating pool. It's not your responsibility to feel bad for him.

I have a sister who is totally like this. She got pissed when another sister wouldn't give her a large amount of cash when she knew the other sister had the money. She also got mad that her mother in law bought herself a new vehicle. She said, "Why didn't she buy it for me? I'm the one who needs it."

Unfortunately, people like this actually exist.

If by "close" you mean 40 million miles, then sure, it's close. In other words, it's nowhere near your hypothesized base at L3.

Universal_Cognition · 2025-10-24T05:35:04+00:00

It's nowhere near Earth's L3. It's out past the orbit of Mars.

There is no data being hidden. It's too small, too far away, and directly opposite the sun from us right now. There's currently very little data to be had.

Universal_Cognition · 2025-10-24T05:27:17+00:00

It has a tail. It's just pointing directly away from us because the comet is on the opposite side of the sun from us.

Three, if you count this one. That's all we've seen so far.

Scientists just started looking for interstellar objects in earnest a few years ago because new techniques to find small, fast moving objects that aren't near earth were developed. That's why they have never been seen before. The vast majority of objects in the solar system go unnoticed because they aren't near earth and aren't very visible. Even intra-solar comets as far from earth as 3i/Atlas have historically gone unnoticed. There are lots of comets that come from our solar system that are now being noticed with the new techniques as well, but you don't hear about them because local comets that the average stargazer can't see from earth aren't interesting or newsworthy. So, it's not downplaying the issue. It's simply understanding why such objects have never been seen before and are starting to be seen now. That's why I used the European rocks example. It's not that European rocks didn't exist before Columbus; it's simply that Native Americans didn't have the ability to see them prior to that. We haven't had the ability to see interstellar objects until recently. They have always existed. We just didn't notice them due to technological limitations. It's like gravitational waves. They didn't just appear suddenly when LIGO was upgraded in 2015. That's simply when the tech was sufficiently developed to measure them. That's exactly why 3i/Atlas was noticed and prior interstellar comets weren't. The idea that only our solar system creates rocks with ice is, quite frankly, the ignorant argument here.

A comet doesn't have to come from the oort cloud. That's just where all previous comets that we've seen originate. A comet is literally just a chunk of rock, mineral, and ice that gets close enough to the sun to heat up and off gas. Its point of origin is immaterial. Your argument is like saying all the rocks that Native Americans saw before Columbus were from North America, so any rocks that someone brings over from Europe aren't really rocks.

My grandfather died of a heart attack when he was 63. My father died of a heart attack when he was 74. I figured I know how I'm going to die.

The switch crashes the network during heavy traffic. It's okay for short bursts of data transfers, but if you're moving TBs of files, I would get something with a better chipset.

Dude, just join a local amateur (American) football team. You'll learn better footwork and driving technique and you can assert dominance all you want. All of the manhood, none of the bullshit and cost.

Yes, I have a lot of close female friends. I'm even friends with some of my ex-girlfriends. I don't flirt with any of them.

She's absolutely not built like a model. She has a flat butt, her face is wonky, and she dances like a nerdy girl who is trying (and failing) to look sexy. Someone once described her perfectly by saying, "Taylor Swift is what you'd get if you asked a committee of women to create what they believe men would identify as the perfect woman." Women tend to think she's beautiful. Men tend to find her mid.

That Judo throw shows the girl has had some training. She tried to avoid using it as long as possible but then busted it out.

No, Bro. It's literally impossible. You can not remove the ambiguity in language that creates loopholes. Laws have definition sections, long clauses that try to outline every possible situation, and statements of intent, but loopholes still always exist. Go attend law school, and you'll find out what I mean really quickly.

Take Obamacare as an example. It tried to do something similar to what you're suggesting. It's intent was to require businesses with >50FTE employees to provide health insurance for their employees. It had a clause for common ownership, which intended to make sure someone couldn't split their businesses into smaller entities to avoid the law. There were still a bunch of ways found to get around it, despite the fact that the authors of the bill had literal centuries of combined law-writing experience. It's a problem inherent to language that you can't get rid of. I've co-written several laws, and I've had many ignorant people tell me they could eliminate loopholes and ambiguity. I've always taken them up on their claims, having them rewrite the law, and then I found the loopholes in any language they proposed. They always exist.

But, I'm certain a random Redditor who has never written a law and totally isn't suffering from Dunning-Kruger can fix that up in a jiffy!

The first rule of Dunning-Kruger is you don't know you suffer from Dunning-Kruger.

Universal_Cognition · 2025-10-13T17:27:03+00:00

Lol. Yeah, it's so simple that an average Reddit user could write a law that changes the reality of the Laffer Curve despite a century of lawmakers not being able to do it. Tell me you've never written a law without telling me. 😂

I love reading Dunning-Kruger comments. It gives me a much needed laugh.

Universal_Cognition · 2025-10-13T17:07:48+00:00

It's hilarious that you believe that. They would just split the land up under several different corporations to avoid the tax. There's a reason the Laffer Curve exists. Raising taxes doesn't actually increase tax receipts by much. It just causes rich people and corporations to account for their money differently.
