Every infectious disease has a cure, and now I’m reminded of the XKCD Petri dish comic.

Man, what I’d do for a ball of that good Macho Man cocaine. The cream of the crop…

This is what I do. I allow it to go to 100% for traveling. I don’t need 100% charge when I’m around the house or at work with access to a charger.

Easily one of my favorite appliances, up there with dishwasher and washing machine. My floors are always insanely clean because that thing drives around every day.

Reminding yourself not to feel a certain way sounds wrong to me. You’re just masking something at that point. Your feelings are telling you something. That needs to be addressed, not suppressed.

The gamification of killing is nothing new, the highest honors a country can bestow are usually for killing other people. Even without handing out little achievement trinkets, the concept of gaining honor for slaughtering your enemies goes way back.

Which global government enforces international law? Ah that’s right, there is none. Might as well say it violates galactic or universal law.

I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.

The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.

I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.

That Harvard article is what I linked above. It’s where I found that the HEPA filter on the intake works well to reduce bacterial spread.

Given the issue is fixed by putting HEPA filters on the intake of the dryers, it indicates the bacteria is coming from the air in the bathroom, not wet hands.

Why is there bacteria on your hands after you just washed them and rinsed with clean water?

It’s actually the opposite- the issue is they shoot bacteria onto your newly cleaned hands.

Then there’s programs ran by the bases to offer financial relief even in no shutdowns, not sure how’d they ration their funds during a shutdown.

I haven’t seen programs run by the base themselves, but AER is Army Emergency Relief. They have a lot of money and will either give you a no or very low interest loan or often just give you a grant that you don’t have to pay back.

Ah, yeah you’re right. My bad. I believe there were threats of shutdowns but they never happened. Still got some emails from USAA about what to do in a potential shutdown AFAIK.

This happened during the Obama administration, I was active duty in those days. I think USAA and AER had some programs if you needed a check during the shutdown, not sure if that’s happening these days.

Wow, has it really been that long?

After Pink Floyd used it, the Hammerskins adopted the symbol. They’re a pretty big white power skinhead group. They even hold little neo Nazi music festivals.

Remember that shooting of the Sikh temple in Wisconsin? That guy was associated with the Hammerskins.

7800X3D is AM5 which is AMDs current socket. Of the choices presented, this is the most likely to be supported in the future, which is why I suggested this option.

I never suggested an AM4 setup, nor is it an option presented. I’m merely sharing an anecdote that my current 5800X3D is still very relevant for gaming, so I believe a 7800X3D will fare similarly.

2TB is SSD range now, is my point. Buying an HDD that small is kinda pointless. It’s massively outclassed in both speed and capacity by modern drives. It will be replaced quickly and end up being more expensive in the long run for more effort and a subpar experience.

I believe the price difference is made up by the current generation CPU and GPU, plus the fact AMD Is much more upgrade friendly with CPUs when they time comes. Also, X3D whips ass in games. I’m still rocking a 5800X3D and don’t feel behind the times whatsoever with my gaming rig.

I do not believe option 1 to be the value proposition for gaming, despite the significantly lower price.

Option 2.

Buying less expensive things can be more expensive in the long run. With option 1 you’re already behind the curve and will be needing upgrades sooner than option 2.
