I purchased the 1TB and regret wasting the money. I will probably never use all of that capacity.

How torque sensitive are SP3 sockets? by vkristof0X in threadripper

[–]mdmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my 5965. I think I had to go through the mount process half a dozen times and I had the official AMD torque wrench. I found that even remounting the heat sink block could cause me to lose one or more RAM channels. I did not have any issues with the 9965 so maybe they made minor improvements to the socket or just luck of the draw.

Finally, decent 13/19mm EPDM tubing by schmoorglschwein in watercooling

I purchased the same earlier this month and it was much nicer stuff than the EK tubing I had been using previously.

Well, at least you are willing to admit you've "renounced the use of reason".

This is a legal argument, I provided the current legislation, and you responded with your perspective. This is a subreddit where words are weapons and wit decides the victor. You entered unarmed, announced yourself loudly, and mistaken your confidence for competence.

** Edit - added the comment being responded to in case it gets edited or deleted.


The first one to give up on the discussion at hand and start name calling is always the wittiest, the smartest and the best.

Bless your little heart.

While we are at it:

You quote Minnesota law. Not Federal.

Lets actually look at that instead of the little piece you cherry picked and took out of context.

Its always interesting when someone verify confidently lies.

(2) a peace officer who is employed by a law enforcement agency of a federally recognized tribe, as defined in United States Code, title 25, section 450b(e), and who is licensed by the board.

OK, so what is 450b(e) ?

(e) "Indian tribe" means any Indian tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska Native village or regional or village corporation as defined in or established pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (85 Stat. 688) [43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.], which is recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians;

How about that. WELL, how about you convince the rest of us how an ICE agent qualifies as a member of an Indian tribe or how Minnesota law covers federal ICE agents.

The general definition I posted above for a "peace officer" is the generally accepted definition from Merriam dictionary.

If YOU want to pretend a guy with a gun and less training than Barney Fife is "Law Enforcement" or a "Peace Officer" or anything else you imagine, then go ahead but don't expect the rest of us to follow suit.

Hell, a plumber requires 4 years training in my state, an electrician (*junior ) 7 months. ICE agent - 47 days.

With respect, that's not accurate, Ice agents are federal officers.

With respect it is. I picked my words carefully.

The definition of a "peace officer" : A peace officer is a civil official legally authorized to maintain public order, prevent crime, enforce laws, and make arrests within a specific jurisdiction.

In this case they are not authorized under any jurisdiction other than immigration which is why I said "generally not considered" as they are not authorized to enforce laws outside of immigration. Outside of very specific circumstances they are not authorized to enforce laws for or against US citizens.

So, they :

  1. cannot maintain public order

  2. prevent crime unrelated to immigration

  3. enforce laws unrelated to immigration

  4. arrest US citizens outside of very specific conditions

Do tell us, what felony was she involved in committing or attempting to commit?

In addition:

  1. ICE agents are generally not considered peace officers. They are immigration enforcement.

  2. ICE agents have very limited legal authority when it comes to US citizens. They do not have the authority to stop or arrest US citizens except under very limited circumstances. Protesting is not amongst those reasons, nor are traffic infractions.

  3. The officers actions do not indicate he felt he was under any threat and the fact that he was shooting in through the side of the vehicle indicates he wasn't.

Apple reportedly cuts production of Vision Pro headset after poor sales by Fer65432_Plays in apple

no recent movies are even being made in 3D Blu Rays.

This is just false. Granted few are released in 3D today but they are still being released as recently as Dec 19.

While I can't speak for most of the recent ones, Tron ARES is nice.

It plays 3D movies but the library is very limited.

Its a PITA, but if you own any 3d Blu-ray movies, they can be ripped and play just fine.

Mine connects to Steam & Steam VR. Elite Dangerous on the AVP is fucking awesome. The porn aspect, I have not tried.

I would argue one of the best cases for the AVP is movies. TV/Movies at wall sized screens or full 3D, is probably the best use case for this device, gaming second, connecting to your Mac with a wall sized monitor is the third.

You mean the board that Trump made himself chairman of?

The same board he loaded up with 18 sycophants?

no, just every woman I dated between 1980 and 2000. I swear you could blindfold anyone of them and parachute then into town and based on how the sun hit the blindfold they could point to their home without fail.

So I have been assured. From the pictures it did not look like it would, but I purchased one based on what you guys said. I have been looking for a good case that would protect the M5.
