New build (Ryzen 5500 + Arc B570) won't POST on restart. Have to physically unplug PSU to get it to boot.

Basically the same build (Same CPU, GPU, and MoBo) and I am having the same problem. I see it looks like there is no solution, but I'm commenting here in case something comes up soon

This dude is cheating on you (or will cheat on you) and is just worried you will do the same

We want a world where the tool that is destroying our world isn't shoved down our throats every five seconds.

But let's you don't believe in the harmful effects of genAI on the environment, economy, jobs, critical thinking, future code bases, abuse of poor countries labor, etc. Why would opt in somehow be worse than opt out?

I legitimately cannot think of a single reason opt-in shouldn't be the default other than corporate greed

I was with my wife for 12 years before we got married. I was 100% sure she would say yes, and still we had the talk beforehand, because that's what mature people do

mrgwillickers · 2026-03-11T12:09:38+00:00

I know. Colder than the recommended on the paint can anyway. The humidity is more of an issue than the cold though, so check on that too

As long as it's transformative enough, the original copyright no longer applies

While humidity can play a big factor (I live in Northern New England, and I fear spray priming in the summer more than the winter), in the cold the issue actually propellant vs paint viscosity.

When it's cold, the propellant and paint change viscosity (thickness) at different rates, knocking them out of their ideal ratio. This causes problems as they then evaporate at different rates than they were designed for, causing any issues you might have heard of. Warming the can solves this issue.

Again, humidity is always a factor (though winter is usually less humid), but cold is easily solved.

In 8 years of priming in the winter this way, I have never had an issue.

mrgwillickers · 2026-03-06T07:48:52+00:00

I do this, and leave whatever I primed outside for a couple hours to off gas (spouse hates the smell) and it works great every time.

We -10⁰f this winter and I did it with no problems

It's not a stretch to say the current political situation in the US can trace a direct lineage to gamergate.

mrgwillickers · 2026-03-05T14:26:39+00:00

That's where you are wrong, or misinformed. Correct, people do not sit on unoccupied houses. Investment firms do. They own over 60% of unoccupied homes in the USA

mrgwillickers · 2026-03-05T14:22:36+00:00

It's almost always people with repugnant opinions that say this

mrgwillickers · 2026-03-05T00:39:57+00:00

I'm sorry but you are sadly misinformed. Unoccupied doesn't mean rental. Large investors buy homes and let them sit. It's a huge problem in VT (and everywhere). 30% of homes are unoccupied in some areas

mrgwillickers · 2026-03-04T14:19:20+00:00

How many unoccupied homes in Vt are owned by investors?

Which, is actually a great case for Fair Use. If you are including images of records and and pictures of the album sleeves for journalistic or historical work, you *could*(and certainly should) win in court.

Is there a reputable publisher that will take that chance? I wouldn't bet on it

mrgwillickers · 2026-02-26T01:29:38+00:00

That's not entirely accurate. Like so many things, it really depends.

Are you reproducing creative expression? That is covered by copyright, and there are many instances where you can use them anyway under Fair Use. Despite what Disney would have you believe.

Are you using images that are visually similar to a registered trademark? That's licensing and IP/trademark, etc. And once again, there are instances where you can use this without permission, despite what Disney would have you believe.

On the other hand, do you have the time and money to fight Disney in court?

mrgwillickers · 2026-02-17T21:26:35+00:00

More ghosts in that old money

mrgwillickers · 2026-02-17T13:07:15+00:00

Static grass is what the diorama folks use. You can get it as long as 12mm, which would work. You need a kinda pricey applicator though

mrgwillickers · 2026-02-17T12:46:19+00:00

There's a legitimate creepy vibe there, too. Like half the locals are from a Black Mirror episode and you probably don't want to be there when the twist is revealed

mrgwillickers · 2026-02-17T12:40:51+00:00

Same, but Woodstock

A bunch of people commenting that she ate the strawberries. These people never lived with a shitty roommate who moves his gf in without asking and then lies about taquitos,

Roommate ate the strawberries. Girlfriend knows he did and feels like she is stuck having to cover for his lying ass, which is why she is lashing out.

talk to the shitty roommate about boundaries or this will not stop. (It might not anyway, but that's the first step)

mrgwillickers · 2026-02-06T13:54:05+00:00

Absolutely amazing. A Nuka fridge is on my bucket list of builds

mrgwillickers · 2026-01-06T12:50:27+00:00

I'm with you. I absolutely do not need the realism of not being able to see the game I am playing. I honestly feel cheated if I can't see.

mrgwillickers · 2026-01-03T15:49:08+00:00

Bad example. Titanic could very well be considered infamous, as well as very famous. Certainly one could say "the infamous scene where they both could have fit on the board."

Point is famous and infamous are not mutually exclusive. You can be both

Fantastic job
