FWIW your friend was running a CPU that comes from the factory OC’d nearly to it’s limit and it’s a top binned CPU.

Also, your friend called a 360mm AIO a massive liquid cooler when that’s the bare minimum you should have to run that thing stock, and even then of probably needs an undervolt to maintain adequate temps under load.

To OC that thing like they wanted they probably should have had at least a custom water cooling loop with two 480mm rads and plenty of airflow.

Ideally you would have also had a water chiller in the loop.

But if you wanted to really push it and try for a record OC you would have needed an LN2 pot. Maybe even liquid helium.

None of which accounts for the insane power draw that apparently your local grid couldn’t handle.

A vulture has gastric acid with a pH of approximately 1. Which is equivalent to 100% pure hydrochloric acid.

The acidic component of a human’s gastric acid is hydrochloric acid. The overall pH of our gastric acid is between 1 and 3, which is similar to carrion eating carnivores and lower than most mammals.

However, the secretion of acid in the stomach (in humans) is tightly regulated by the body, with acid being secreted during digestion and then neutralized after the fact.

So, someone who eats a lot will have gastric juices with a more consistently low pH. Unless you just really like chowing down on baking soda and lye, in which case, why?

Well, you see the first step is to boil the potatoes. It softens the starches and makes the next step easier.

The second step is to mash roughly one half of the potatoes and set them aside.

For the third step, you will cut the remaining potatoes into roughly one inch (2.5cm) cubes. After that you will, and this is critical, stick them in a stew.

Let the stew simmer until the onions dissolve and the carrots soften.

Now you can serve the stew over the mashed potatoes and then smuggle them out of the phone in your stomache.

But real *nix’ers use ed

You may as well start there. You’ll be using it eventually once you inevitably develop the same passionate idolization of Unix that I, the righteous self appointed evangelist of all things good && just && Unix possess.

Yeah, no. Pretty much the only time vegetables shouldn’t crunch is when they’re in a curry or stew where everything is expected to be partially homogenized. (Side note: if you’re making Japanese curry from those cubes, the soup should be almost half onion when you start but those onions should be completely dissolved into the soup by the time it’s done cooking. If you can see onion you didn’t cook it long enough.)

Soggy veggies have the texture of rot and it’s disgusting

While it’s insane that he got a water bottle in a box that appeared factory sealed, it’s also pretty nuts that we’re now spending $1100 on a 70 series GPU. Those shouldn’t be more than $300, maybe $400 for an OC’s version like this dude bought.

And if you do need an app I’d recommend AniHyou

It’s got a fairly clean interface, is easy to navigate and is available on F-Droid.

But Rankine does.

Though if it were 300 degrees Rankine outside we’d have a bit of a problem with the CO2 in the atmosphere freezing out as snow.

Also, not sure where the “Obsidian doesn’t make good games” is coming from. Of the 17 games they’ve made only 3 of them are even remotely negatively reviewed. And most of them are either widely beloved or cult classics.

Ubuntu used to have an option for that and the screen shot from the site looks quite a bit like the old Ubuntu installer.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they forked that installer from Ubuntu at some point.

This looks neat, but without a way to inject into the steam client (or gog client) on the desktop it seems like you’re hitting a particularly small audience. Most people aren’t using a browser to access these services.

Making this into a decky add-on (there are already addons that add a banner to store pages based on similar info) would be an awesome next step that would help increase visibility for this kind of thing.

Basically any of the trails in the Municipality of Anchorage, Chugach State Park, or Mat-Su valley in Alaska.

That’s just cause you’re not close enough

No, given that one of the points of Outlook (and most email apps) is to store a local archive that can be read even when offline.

Depends on what shift I’m working. Day shift I’ll shower at night because I don’t have time in the morning. Night shift I’ll shower in the morning.

I definitely prefer showering in the morning, (I also prefer night shift) a good shower just generally feels like a good start to the day. It helps me wake up and gives me time to mentally prepare for the day.

Tolkien never really makes it clear what happens to men when they die.

The closest thing we get to a statement on it that “their souls go beyond the circles of the world…to dwell with illuvatar.”

Dwarves are even less clear. It’s likely the same as Men but they seem to have their own beliefs on the topic. They believe that they go to the “Halls of Waiting to await the renewal of the world.”

Hobbits, being a mannish race, are the same as Men.

Orcs also are unclear. Tolkien wrote multiple origins for the orcs, none of which made it into his canon books, just his notes that were compiled into the histories.

If they are purely creations of Melkor then killing them would simply destroy them, as they aren’t truly alive. Whereas if they are corrupted Elves and Men they would likely experience the same death as their race of origin.

It’s also worth noting that Elves don’t truly have an afterlife. They have a period of waiting in the Halls of Mandos after which they are reclothed in flesh and can choose to either return to Middle-Earth or remain in valinor.

Also, Frodo, Bilbo, and Sam as ring-bearers were allowed to sail west and live on Tol Eresea, an Island near Valinor so that their injuries from bearing the ring (and in Frodo’s case the morgul blade) wouldn’t bother them. They still only lived out their natural life span and then died the death of Men.
