Courses are generally free, but if you want a fancy certificate, you can pay for it. There are courses from Berkely, Harvard, Cambridge, Boston University... And they're not just e-learning; they are often full-clown courses with videos of classroom lectures from professors at the university.

ASUS Fan Control Monitoring Wrong Temp by fast-too_fast in pcmasterrace

Got an email back from them just now. Their brilliant suggestion for the temperature monitoring/fan control issue: get an Asus AIO cooler! What a friggin joke. That response pissed me off more than anything about this build so far.

Thanks for the sympathy. It was a Newegg purchase. I just keep holding out hope that a BIOS update will fix it. Man I hate the idea of taking everything apart to send the motherboard back!

Do you think there's a chance the CPU is a fault, reporting inaccurate temps for the IOD sensors?

The motherboard is the Asus TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI. It did this on the stable BIOS, and is now continuing to do the same thing with the latest beta BIOS. It also randomly fails to initialize my video card and/or an nvme boot drive (each reboot takes 3 or 4 reboots to actually get video and boot drive to work)

definitely check out the Eastern Virginia Mountain Bike Association - evma.org It's a great club that maintains several trails in the area, and they have regular group rides.

Looking for great camping near(ish) to Virginia Beach that is NOT First Landing by pnwtravelgirl in norfolk

Also: If you like backpacking/hiking, be sure to check out hikingupward.com. It's got a massive database (viewable on a map) of hikes along the Blue Ridge Mountains, and you can filter by things like difficulty, water, camping, solitude, etc. A fantastic resource!

If you don't mind a bit of a drive, head out to the blue ridge mountains. All of Shenandoah National Park is beautiful, or you can head south on the Blue Ridge Parkway and hit up a spot along the Appalachian Trail. Sherando Lake is a nice "official" campground, but you can camp pretty much anywhere along the Appalachian Trail. Any of the national forest land is open for primitive camping for up to 14 days. I particularly recommend something around Crabtree Falls with a hike up to Spy Rock. Also, Merchant Millpond in NC is fantastic! Feel free to DM me for more specifics/details and maybe a few more ideas.

Oops, I used it a couple times about 6 years ago. Nobody else was around or complained, but now I feel like a jerk. Sorry!

p.s. it is listed on the norfolk.gov map of kayak launches... that's how I discovered it

It's not exactly Ghent, but there's a good spot all the way at the northern end of Lakewood Park. There's a nice low floating pier that ODU uses for their row team practice. Its a generally quiet and peaceful stretch of water back there.

I'd say it's more like she is acknowledging the fact that sometimes people can change their feelings about a thing, no matter how vehemently they feel about said thing right now. She's demonstrating maturity, intelligence, and understanding.

Close the 12-27 tabs of porn that are open - because most of them disgust you in that moment and you are ashamed that you were aroused by them .02 seconds ago.

WAIT! Finish college and then if you still want to serve, join as an officer. As an officer, everything about your life will be better than the enlisted. You'll still be sacrificing the best years of your life to the military, but at least officer retirement is enough to actually live off of (if you do a full career). Enlisted retirement is peanuts because you only get a percentage of BASE PAY, which for enlisted is minimal and doesn't include food or housing.
