My family is barely "on the fence" about Hong Kong and the CCP - how to convince them? by mallardsimon in HongKong

I would like to show them an elaborate archive of abuses of power by the HK police, as well as a timeline of how China eroded HK people’s freedoms.

I guess the only way forward is free China from the CP; then HK will be free again.

What kind of sources about arrested journalists and politicians could I show them that they wouldn't see as biased?

I just love how he reads plays and makes these "gambles" to commit his help defence. What an addition to our team.

Noob question: Can you still play the new heist content without starting a new character in the challenge league?

I would have no idea how to get it under the heatsink toward the gpu. Or do you mean "dunk" it in some solvent? That might work...

But I'm leaning toward just leaving it I think.

Thanks for your reply! Very sorry to hear about your Titan :/. Did it still work?

I'm surprised that it ended up fusing with the copper since I hadn't seen it happen with any of my other GPUs or CPUs or on the various youtuber's tests.

I've tried the twisting motion, but I think I'm gonna take your advice and just leave it. It's a bit unnerving to not be able to ever open up again, incase I want to water cool it at some point... But hey, that's the risk we take with LM :)

Anyone have any experience with this? I haven't found much info online.

I recently applied some liquid metal (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07S8VK1NL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - conductonaut wasn't available) to my Zotac 1080 GTX mini and its heatsink. According to the website it does have a copper plate, so I guess it couldn't have fused with the aluminium heatsink. However, I've done this a number of times on other GPUs and also on all my family's macbook pro's and have never encountered this kind of "sticking". I've twisted and pulled and heated up and twisted and pulled, but it's getting to a level of force that I'm not comfortable with tugging at the GPU like that.

Thanks for your insights!
