Bahah yeah I thought so! It was SO amazing. Probably the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life so far.

Hey I know that bridge! 😜

Oh absolutely. In no way is it any better, it just adds to it.

It would be good to know what percentage of users/posts were from country #2 and Russia as well.

I’d really like to know that too. US maybe?

You mean the jemes?

Oh I am very aware of that but this guy doesn’t seem to be. He came to me with his daughters school laptop because he had purchased an external harddrive so she could put The Sims 4 on it. They were having issues installing the game on it.

He bought a 40$ 2TB external harddrive that was fake and kept crashing when you tried to access it. At least I managed to get him to spend a bit more on upgrading the SSD instead of having his daughter suffer through loading games from a shitty USB HDD.

I almost bought an SP NVMe SSD yesterday for a client who insisted on saving every penny possible but went with another cheap brand because I saw a lot of reports of failures with the NVMe ones as well. Now I’m hoping the other cheap option that was available won’t suffer the same fate.

LOL

I change usernames every couple years. Betch is just something a couple of my friends started calling me a while ago. It basically became my name until I found something I liked to replace my deadname and it also became my new online identity.

Hahah well that experience was 2 nights ago so I’ve had time to recover a bit. I still randomly get flashes of the experience and some of the feelings associated with it though and I suspect it’s gonna be like that for a couple days, until I’m done kinda processing and integrating everything that happened. But yeah, 3-star day today, which is slightly better than my average lately.

I’ve been feeling off for the past couple months. Two nights ago I decided to do shrooms, I had been putting it off for over two years because I knew deep down I would have a difficult experience and I was right. I took 2 grams as tea with lemon juice, plus 1g eaten. I spent 3 hours which felt like days just screaming and crying. I felt emotional pain like I’ve never felt in my life before, it was absolute never ending insanity. I cried so much my eyes were almost swollen shut.

My mother has been sick for a long time now and it has been very difficult to deal with and I’d mostly been avoiding it. The mushrooms reaaaally shoved it in my face, they were absolutely brutal about it and made me feel the pain of the loss of my mother for the first 30 minutes. Then they decided to show me that people have lived through the pain of loss since the beginning of time by making me feel that pain through the eyes of thousands of people through thousands of generations lol. It was like I was going through a fractal of the lives of people down generations and generations but only the painful parts of their lives and I felt their emotions so vividly. That lasted for like two and a half hours, with small 5 minute breaks here and there where the trip would go down a bit and I could breathe until it would just pull me back in to this infinite spiral of emotional torture.

During the entire trip, every time I would get a small break I would just be crying, wishing for it to be over. I wanted to get off. 30 minutes after it ended and I went to bed I was already asking myself when the next time was gonna be hahah.

Yesterday I was just in shock all day, eyes still swollen as hell and with the worst headache of my life.

Today I am much better physically but mentally I am still in shock.

Sorry for the wall of insanity.

Troubleshooting is all about asking the right questions, the right way. You should never fully trust what someone thinks the problem is, even if that person is you 😅

Well, this is fake.

Agreed, it’s true for most devices. They’re often finicky, don’t offer anything in terms of feedback (Except maybe for a beep that is identical for all button presses) and they don’t last.

Yeah I really hope other car makers follow because I fucking hate touch controls in cars with a burning passion. It’s idiotic and not safe at all.

Probably not, it was just a way of saying that there is absolutely something wrong with that.

They’re just a sad person.

It would definitely be within their rights to do so.

Eh, yeah maybe you’re right but it’s such a tremendous amount of performance to lose out on for a couple keystrokes. Any halfway decent guide for beginners should be mentioning it but I don’t know how people outside my circles build computers. Do they read/watch guides? Do they just plug shit together and pray that it works? 🤷‍♀️

Well what we’re talking about here is just memory speeds, not core overclocking. If you’re building a computer and you’re paying for RAM that is rated at a certain speed, you need to enable XMP to have it run at that speed. Since the memory controller is now integrated into CPUs, intel considers that overclocking so it voids your warranty. I think most people who are buying CPUs to build their own PCs know this and will not run at base JEDEC speeds.
