California is 100% losing that war handedly

[onyx bluff]

hahahahahah

😂😂😂

I say this as a new yorker - what the fuck are you talking about

[frigid blade]

This dude must be from California

Glazing Cali for the fun of it

[hardy horizon]

It current growth. They pulled to McDonald's. Dort Ash and other delivery services don't allow restaurants to charge more for the food. So the restaurants increase the price of the food for every customer.

If you want to pay then not inflated price you must be on some kind of loyalty program with them.
Walmart did the same with Walmart+. Prices are 20% cheaper when purchased online for pickup than it is to go to the actual store.
80% of food stamp recipients shop at Walmart. They're pushing circle K out of the market that it defined for decades. And if they continue their aggressive Costco like fuel margin in order to bring in foot traffic to their stores there's going to be a lot more competitors that they're going to start pushing on.

Now whether or not that's worth their PE ehh. Finance is long removed from that even mattering as we've seen. Don't forget largest private employer in the United States.

[gilded imp]

cali makes so much of our food

they wouldnt win but it would REALLY suck for everyone

[frigid blade]

Cali has 0 nukes so just nuke them

[gilded imp]

uh

[frigid blade]

It’s an easy win

[deep musk]

Means literally nothing in the eyes of the law

[onyx bluff]

why be like this

[gilded imp]

I hope bro is trolling

[onyx bluff]

in their eyes, they legally changed the name

holding them to that, is the point

[frigid blade]

Which part

[onyx bluff]

yes, me calling it the department of war, is a criticism. whoop de do for pointing that out

[grizzled frost]

They didn't though

[steel umbra]

californian terrorists capture us nukes and nuke the us with them, then us got nuked more by other countries 2027 nuclear worldwide civil war

[hardy horizon]

They didn't threatened nor have the power to take civilizations back to the Stone age though....

[onyx bluff]

but they did all of this. for "real". because "they could". again. they say they did, so. deal with it

[hardy horizon]

Well and NVD value increases directly counted in that GDP as well.

[steel umbra]

look at VOC

[onyx bluff]

https://www.war.gov/Brand-Guide/

[steel umbra]

largest dutch company in the history

[onyx bluff]

they have a fucking brand guide

[steel umbra]

it went on a downward spiral and ceased to exist

[hardy horizon]

I'm talking about world war II times which is where the rhetoric of when a country goes to war their economy grows rapidly and when they come out of war as the victor they're in a substantially better place.

[gilded imp]

so does... literally every organization with a logo

[onyx bluff]

so which is it

the organization isn't real, the logos are fake?

[steel umbra]

most of the time both suffer

[gilded imp]

nuance is dead

[steel umbra]

even when the war is a “clean” victory

[onyx bluff]

you can't make your argument against me calling it what they say they want to call themselves.... salient. it's stupid

[hardy horizon]

Yeah, their social support network is about to strangle itself though because of the birth rate issue

[onyx bluff]

again, like, that's the name now

[frigid blade]

Too many old people

[frigid blade]

Actually renamed back to DoD so

[onyx bluff]

no

[gilded imp]

yep

too many old people

[steel umbra]

social security 1/3

[hardy horizon]

Ehh, there is very little infrastructure spending which was desperately needed and has been desperately needed and now we're seeing projects cost three times what they would 6 years ago because of debt financing cost along with inflation increasing costs.
I mean light rail is 250 million dollars a mile.... Sure would have been nice to finance that at negative interest rates
Army corps of engineers say like 60% of bridges are in a critical state and could fail at any time.

[deep musk]

They aren’t legally meaning anything

[onyx bluff]

and? the point of you saying this is?

[deep musk]

The dod logos legally identify the department, the dep of war ones, legally represent nothing

[gilded imp]

I finished my steak ):

[onyx bluff]

because, I'll be really obnoxious and copy/paste the section of the website where they insist that it is, legally, the DOW

Use of Name
In Executive Order 14347, issued Sept. 5, 2025, President Donald J. Trump directed the U.S. Department of Defense “be known as the Department of War,” a secondary title for this cabinet-level department. The order permits the use of this secondary title for official correspondence, public communications and ceremonial contexts within the executive branch.

Use "War Department" in most cases on first reference, reserving "Department of War" for quoted matter, or situations that require that level of formality.

The correct acronym for "War Department" as used on the War.gov flagship website, which uses the AP Style as standard, is "DOW" with an uppercase "O" in the center; use on second reference after "War Department" or when the standalone acronym suffices depending upon use. Do NOT use "DoW."

The correct acronym for "War Department" in official written department communications, including but not limited to news releases, speeches, transcripts etc., including those published on War.gov, is "DoW" with a lowercase "o", Do NOT use "DOW" in these types of products.

[frigid blade]

It says secondary title in your post btw

[deep musk]

[frigid blade]

So the DoD is still the primary name

[hardy horizon]

Can't, will get pushed out of power as a global dominator. Soft power disappeared with USAID So now it's just hard weapon power for deterrents. 😭. I miss when we could just help humanity and build allies

[deep musk]

You^

[gilded imp]

Check mate

[onyx bluff]

sure that's what USAID did

[hardy horizon]

All bankrupt means is that you ran out of cash You're unable to raise more cash. And that your total debt load exceeds the asset value which was only a 26 billion dollar spread in Lehman's case

[onyx bluff]

totally not backdoor spending for the CIA

[steel umbra]

Finlandia 🇫🇮 🇫🇮 🍺 🍻

[deep musk]

Oof someone got a ground bodying argument

[onyx bluff]

absolutely we just genuinely wanted to support theater in greece and hopscotch in nepal

[gilded imp]

Alzheimer’s is one hell of a drug

[hardy horizon]

My understanding is they did not It is still the department of defense They just changed what they like to call themselves but in the actual organizational structure it should not be changed.

[onyx bluff]

listen you can criticize DOGE quite fairly but cutting USAID was like

the most obvious crooked pork barrel cut to make

[gilded imp]

Is that what the government told you?

🤔

[onyx bluff]

what do you think USAID's money was actually spent on

[deep musk]

It’s what he was told to think ngl

[onyx bluff]

food? medicine?

[deep musk]

I swear if he spits out something phobic or racist

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/iroh-my-beloved-beloved-heart-avatar-the-last-airbender-gif-27121731

[hardy horizon]

True but everybody remembers the GIs came back flush with cash and the new generation was the strongest financial position the US had ever seen. That's why we got the mustang and the pony cars. We started to develop two income households.

[onyx bluff]

no, it was a slush fund for NGOs

global not-charities with vague restrictions and accountability

[frigid blade]

N N you remind me of the lady from the Homeland series

You should watch it

[hardy horizon]

Yeah . Medicare part B. Were the US government issues a blank check to pharmaceutical companies to pay 20 million to a research firm to obtain a patent and then sell a drug for $150 a pill.

[onyx bluff]

idk what any of that means but I'm criticizing USAID from the left right now. it was meaningless and rife with corruption. rent being paid on buildings in foreign lands without noted purpose or reason. the fuck?

the medicare part that pays for drugs is D, dumbass

[gilded imp]

He’s just parroting what the GOVERNMENT told him!!

😂

[onyx bluff]

https://www.medicare.gov/health-drug-plans/part-d

the government would tell you that drugs are part D

so no, he's not doing that 😭

[hardy horizon]

Doesn't matter what it actually did... What matters is what the world believed it did.
We got the same conversation about how the CDC is failing to assist the United Nations in a meaningful way with the Ebola outbreak currently. And is failing to execute historical response time and abilities. . But then people would get mad.

[onyx bluff]

what the fuck does that even mean

we should piss away 10s of billions a year and not actually do the charity we pretend to be doing?

[hardy horizon]

Wouldn't banning fraudulent NGOs be a better use? Along with lobbying. Any person in government having any stockholdings. Political contributions by companies.

[steel umbra]

btw most of africa is in chaos and wars many don’t realiye

[onyx bluff]

we still have plenty of mechanisms for foreign aid, by the way. all of that should be put under intense scrutiny, and that's not *phobic, that's just genuine fact

[tulip sparrow]

https://rockstarintel.com/gta-6-developers-announce-rockstar-games-union/

[steel umbra]

due to last few years donations have been halted

huge reductions

[frigid blade]

I just wanna play GTA6 man

[onyx bluff]

most of africa is ruled by corrupt warlords and the donations were never reaching the people, but we're never going to have that conversation because on the right, they don't have oil

and on the left, that's "needless war" or something

[steel umbra]

mrbeast be like

we build houses! they stand on fucking minecraft sticks

and don’t even have insulation

of actually they have gaps in the construction

[gilded imp]

Yeah no fucking shit a hut in the middle of Africa has no insulation

[hardy horizon]

That America's destroying its ability to rule via soft power. Which means the risks will increase.

You can't go around upsetting people and having their families die because you failed to support programs that you were historically supportive of and not expect somebody to get a little mad and come and punch you in the throat.

[tulip sparrow]

I personally don't care about the series and never did

[onyx bluff]

DR Congo government be like "go burn down the American doctor's tent! they're the ones who brought the ebola!" and so the people did. I can't say this from a perspective of anything but trump who would do the same thing

and like, in a just world

[steel umbra]

i doubt you would want a house made out of metal sheets only

[gilded imp]

Are you actually trolling right now

Like 💀where do I even fuckin begin

[steel umbra]

one rainstorm and you’d wish you had an insulation

[gilded imp]

I wouldn’t want to live in a sheet metal house because I have the option of fucking not doing that

They do not 💀

[tulip sparrow]

Wouldn't this talk fall under no politics rule <@&750150305383186585>s ?

[sleek ibex]

What the fuck am I reading

[onyx bluff]

global events, not politics, so no

[gilded imp]

You’ve 2000% been talking about politics this whole time

[onyx bluff]

nobody's talking about political figures here, this isn't A vs B this is just legit global events

[ancient light]

any suggestions for stuff to buy for cable management or is it completely dependant on what ur pc has

idk about any of this 🥺

[onyx bluff]

if you feel that way, that's weird

[steel umbra]

i feel like you’re arguing for the sake of arguing, you who live in an insulated house says other people in africa don’t need insulation

[gilded imp]

No feelings involved, don’t worry.

[steel umbra]

did you know africa doesn’t have 30-40 degrees all year?

[gilded imp]

I can’t understand this for you unfortunately

[frigid blade]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuild/s/YTXmVnLLcK

[mint umbra]

Is this a good deal in cad

[frigid blade]

Dude deleted his profile

That’s so sad

[gilded imp]

You feel like I’m arguing to argue because you aren’t even remotely close to understanding what I’m saying 🤷

[hardy horizon]

I think so. It's cheaper than the console sells for in USD. So unless CDN is above USD then I think so

[tulip sparrow]

$550 CAD? I would say yes

[onyx bluff]

then you aren't doing a very good job explaining yourself, now are you? I understand your frustration, buddy.

[gilded imp]

“No house is worse than shitty house” is not a massive leap in reasoning

[frigid blade]

$50 cheaper than on amazon, yah

[gilded imp]

Nope, im doing just a fine job

[steel umbra]

the house will literally collapse within few years

[frigid blade]

And you don’t pay tax

[gilded imp]

So they were given a house for a few years and that’s a bad thing

[steel umbra]

the sticks will rot and the house is gone by that point

i’m literally saying sticks because they are sticks

[onyx bluff]

"giving away" meaningfully defective houses isn't charity, it's basically fraud and you've turned the recipient of that donation into a victim. that's not much of a stretch but yall seem to ignore that entirely

[gilded imp]

Fraud 💀

[hardy horizon]

We stopped some historical teepees. Idk if those are sticks though

[gilded imp]

You people are too fucking much

Literally just redefining words in real time 💀 just embarrassing bro

[onyx bluff]

brother

[gilded imp]

Have fun you 2

I’m out 😂

[onyx bluff]

what part of "hey here's a house, btw the roof leaks" isn't fraud

you're embarassing yourself

[tulip sparrow]

I have done what I needed so I am out

[steel umbra]

it’s wrong they pretend the houses are nicer than they actually are

with post edits

[onyx bluff]

they pretend they're functional houses

it's fraud

they took money from donations, get ad revenue, it's either directly or indirectly profitable for them. and they leave people held up in a bad situation they obviously can't afford to fix with money. It's insane

[steel umbra]

yes when the charity is done to raise pr and more money

not just from goodwill, for themselves

mrbeast pollutes earth indirectly by water bottle sponsors, chocolate bars, etc. made from plastic and then asks for donations to clean said trash

which is extremely unefficient and results in more pollution

same with planting those new trees

[tulip sparrow]

facepalms hard I click price history on Amazon and get ai chat instead 😣

[steel umbra]

if that money was spent on preventing deforestation in the first place…

you would not have to plant as much new

[steel umbra]

also with the same confidence he said to help the planet he was also doing potentially illegal lottieries for kids

during livestreams

implying he’s losing money on the orders he’s sending out

and creating a sense of pressure on fkin kids

idk @gilded imp just seems really not educated on greenwashing and pr moves

[jovial swan]

Probs a wierd question, how much can i realisticly sell this for in euros (i am aware that the TnT2 is ancient)

[gilded imp]

bro REALLY wants me to continue this stupid ass arguemnt with him

[steel umbra]

same with EVs he only mentions emissions and nothing else such as toxicty and other waste products

[gilded imp]

you can stop pinging me because obviously youre talking to yourself

[gilded imp]

youre embarrassing yourself more because I talk about this all the time

[compact basalt]

Behold fan hub in cable form

[gilded imp]

this is why I dont debate anything you say because you just talk to youself and ignore literally everything else

scp really seems to love betting into arguments and then complains when i respond

[tulip sparrow]

I assume those cheaper laptops with 20/24gb of ram have either 4/8gb soldered on and they slapped a 16gb stick ontop of that

Example https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Ideapad-Microsoft-Dual-Core-OneDrive/dp/B0GFF2V2XM

[ivory mountain]

havent seen that in a while

[steel umbra]

my point was mrbeast does the charity work to raise his pr thus profit.

[gilded imp]

what game is this lol

[steel umbra]

his whole image/brand is built on it

[ivory mountain]

roblox backrooms

[steel umbra]

perception of this “good” guy

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah I wouldn't pay anywhere near that price for a N4500 based device

$610 LOL

$610 for N6000 and 24GB of ram LOL https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-V15-Processor-Durability-Anti-Glare/dp/B0F3G53TRQ

Also I HIGHLY doubt the V15 is MILITARYGRADE Hardware LOL

[steel umbra]

military grade yet no hydrophobic coating

on pcb

[tulip sparrow]

Third party listings on amazon do be slapping the stupidest shit on products

and overcharging to boot

[steel umbra]

oh yeah they would definitely sell you even military / god grade socks that are 100% cotton (actually only 40% cotton, rest is plastic material)

it seems to be a common trend in quick fashion stores

they sell you clothes with tags such as 100% cotton

but it’s a lot of the times not nearly close to being 100%

[tulip sparrow]

I highly doubt Lenovo themselves are making these claims on Amazon

[steel umbra]

you can tell by the tag on the hoodies themselves for example having the % listed

instead of the retail tag

[formal sonnet]

Can confirm. Happens with Etsy listings and Ali Express, too. My favorite are the Etsy sellers who simply drop ship cheap crap from Ali Express for a 5x or 10x profit.

[formal sonnet]

Exactly. I recently had to get Etsy support to force the seller to refund a couple themed shirts I bought. Their listing claimed 100% cotton, but the shirt was anything but cotton. 🤣 Twas cheap drop shipped polyester crap. Luckily, the drop shippers failed to remove / cover up the first shipping labels with the name of their stores from all the shirts, so I was able to order more variations of the shirts that were cotton for 75% cheaper than the Etsy listing.

[tulip sparrow]

The laptop I picked up should be plenty for my mother

[steel umbra]

i’ve had it happen irl too, my mom bought me pants off a physical store thinking it was 100% cotton, well yes the retail tag said 100% but when i looked at the tag that was on the pants it said 70% cotton, 30% plastic that i won’t remember the name of

written in portuguese or spanish

[tulip sparrow]

and no I didn't snag another 8840HS based laptop with 16gb of ram and a 1tb ssd for $650 again

I should be making some improvements to the pipeline too soon including more hardware and obviously more updated software's throughout it

[sturdy jewel]

does this look right? my ram is 6000 MHz but hwinfo is saying its only 3000

someone said that ram is measured in MT but my ram kit, like any other ram kit, has it listed as 6000MHz

ddr5-6000

[bold olive]

what's 2 times 3000?

[sturdy jewel]

ik but i thought each ram stick is 6000

[bold olive]

12000 mhz is too early to exist bud

[bold olive]

it is 6000 across 2 dimms

it should show up as 6000 in task manager

[ivory mountain]

Double data rateee

[formal sonnet]

DDR stands for Double Data Rate. Some programs show the rate halved.

[solar moat]

ddr5 6000 runs at 3000mhz due to DDR stands for dubble data rate

dual channel does not affect clock rate/data rate at all just the bus width for more bandwidth

[tender vine]

is there any risk to using additional pcie slot for storage using an nvme adapter

[hushed tendon]

not unless its a really crappy nvme adapter that could catch fire(this actually happened in a computer i used once)

not that thats LIKELY to happen, but you asked for ANY risk

or i guess you could accidentally format the wrong drive.

[tender vine]

;-;

[hushed tendon]

tbf here that nvme adapter was like 10$ from aliexpress, so... maybe dont be as cheap as i was at the time?

it worked for a few weeks which was a miracle by itself

[glad gulch]

I appear once to deliver this message.

Don't ever let someone tell you you need to close your apps. Fill your RAM and Swap space. Make your computer work for it.

[latent pasture]

consumes ssd life

aka nah

[glad gulch]

SSD is used anyways, it's some SanDisk 1TB thing that mostly does iTunes things. Eventually maybe if prices drop I'll try and find a 2TB thing, whether that be an SSD or HDD

[hushed tendon]

actually now that i think about it i guess temu is the new aliexpress of "dubious tech items"

[limber nacelle]

aliexpress is fine

you get what you pay for 🤷

[hushed tendon]

yeah i threw that in my r740xd with 80tb of storage and like 2 weeks later the nvme drive magically disappeared, i went over pulled it out and was like "huh." entire thing was charred on the back of the pcb...ssd drive still worked fine though.

[limber nacelle]

at least it didnt burn down your house

🫡

[hushed tendon]

na. id have noticed that. i have smart sensors in my 42u for temperature

[limber nacelle]

you have a 42u at home?

[lilac mist]

Experiencing the pain of rural (at least cable) Internet at the moment

[hushed tendon]

id have gotten a "its like 200c in your rack" notification lmao.

[bold olive]

thank you all for those who said double data rate (i legit forgot)

[limber nacelle]

I respect the big rack

[lilac mist]

That's what she said

Sorry had to say it

[frigid blade]

wouldnt that usually be a he said

[hushed tendon]

yep. i got it for 100$ of facebook marketplace, i run a cluster of nucs an r210ii with opnsense and 2x r740xd's in it

[bold olive]

ooh I could use my existing raspberry pi and add temperature sensors to my future rack

[lilac mist]

Unless she appreciates the other girl's you know

[hushed tendon]

i also have a kvm that pulls out like a laptop on it that i got off ebay for 50$

one r740xd runs my plex server that i share to the neighbourhood running overseerr, the other one runs a homelab and the nuc's are my k8s homelab

needed a virtual and non virtual environment for that

[frigid blade]

ive been wanting an R940 for so long

[hushed tendon]

then i also have a layer 3 switch for failover with 2 1gb symmetrical fibre lines to it

[lilac mist]

Well gonna have to probably upload like 30-60gb on a 10 meg upload speed tonight

[hushed tendon]

that goes into the opnsense router followed by a normal 48 port poe unifi switch

[lilac mist]

This is literally 1 megabyte per second upload speed

[hushed tendon]

well they arent BONDED connections, just failover with load balancing

so i dont get 2gbps up/down

[lilac mist]

I'm just commenting on my situation here

[hushed tendon]

just high uptime

[lilac mist]

what's your speed?

[hushed tendon]

2x 1gbps symmetrical lines with HA failover

[lilac mist]

this is at my family's rural vacation house 💀

[hushed tendon]

my internet cost is 5x my electricity cost for my rack per month

[lilac mist]

I'm going to be out doing stuff but still by the time I get back on the laptop after the day it's still probably not gonna be done

[hushed tendon]

which is oof.

[lilac mist]

at home I have symmetrical fiber

literally limited by the ONT having a gigabit port

[hushed tendon]

i have 4 servers running plus all those nuc's plus the switching and its like 60$ a month in electricity...meanwhile each gb connection is 90$ a month

so its literally 3x

[lilac mist]

about the rate I have for gig internet ~$80-90

[hushed tendon]

yeah, i randomly cancel to try and get them to give me a 6month 50$ deal...they fell for it a few times but im pretty sure someone flagged my account after a while lmao

"dont give this guy a deal, he uses more data than his entire neighbourhood...combined"

[lilac mist]

This is my current setup
HP NAS (1270 V1, 32gb 1333mhz ECC, 2x120gb SSD boot, 3x4tb HDD storage)
Lenovo RS140 (1276 V3, 32gb 1333mhz ECC still need to put storage in)
Supermicro something (1275 V2, 32gb 1333mhz ECC and also needs storage)
Gonna have to figure out what to do with the 2 1Us

I might just put my Minecraft servers on em

[hushed tendon]

you can just put that in docker

[lilac mist]

Need some 256-512gb SSDs first

[hushed tendon]

just use ssd's as cache drives

[hushed tendon]

yeaaaaaaaah on that note i need to start prepping to upgrade my AP's to wifi 7...

i skipped 6

[bold olive]

apparently it's not that optimized

[hushed tendon]

thus: prepare lol

either way ill either move to ruckus wifi 6 used or brand new wifi 7 ap's depending on how big of a difference it makes

[bold olive]

who came up with wifi 6e

and why not 6.5

e for efficiency?

[formal sonnet]

E for Extended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_6

[hushed tendon]

yeah efficiency wasnt their goals as 6ghz is higher energy usage lmao. that being said 6ghz isnt great outside of lab conditions or heavy ap saturation

trying to run 6ghz in a larger building with lots of walls is an exercise in futility from a cost benefit perspective

sigh

[glad gulch]

Meanwhile half of my laptops are still on WiFi 4

[boreal elbow]

My ssd doesnt show up in bios tried new cables is it cooked?

[bold olive]

did you plug in power?

[boreal elbow]

Yea

[lilac mist]

I actually just bought a router for this house to upgrade it AGAIN

Hopefully this will be the last upgrade for a while

I actually upgraded my parents wifi a few times because I don't like slow internet when I visit

[sharp ivy]

guhh

I'm trying to find the max HDD size supported by my CPU

but I can't find info on it anywhere

[hushed tendon]

wat...?

there is no max hdd size?

[formal sonnet]

Huh? That's not a thing... CPU's don't have a max HDD size.

[clear canyon]

My cpu does not like 45in drives

[clear canyon]

But to be real, isnt ur "max" just how many the sata controllers can support?

[formal sonnet]

Sure, but that's not a CPU limitation. That's a motherboard (or SATA controller) limitation.

[clear canyon]

Yeah, could possibly be a pcie limitation if you got enough hbas lol

[hushed tendon]

yeah but theres no specific HDD size limitation, thats more the number of HDD's and the ways in which you are attaching them(e.g.: pcie)

for normal motherboards youd also run out of slots before youd run out of pcie lanes though. its not like you have some custom enterprise motherboard with like 80 pcie slots

I turn 20 today and Apple still hasn’t fixed the ringtone

Actually switching to fucking Samsung

The ringer I mean

[native path]

whats wrong with it

[fringe prairie]

nothing

[covert peak]

5060ti is faster then 9060xt right?

[native path]

people just wake up on their 20th birthday complaining about their iphone's alarm 😭

[spring quail]

Can you not change the ringtone?

[glacial kraken]

is 95% packet loss bad

[formal sonnet]

Yes, absolutely. That implies only 5% of packets are making it through successfully.

[glacial kraken]

i see

[lunar axle]

And anything over 20% is unusable if it interacts with someone else such as playing games

Final verdict on the RØDE PodMic USB: best microphone I've ever owned. Even through Discord sound compression I have been told I sound terrifyingly clear. Like "speaking into your soul" levels of clarity

I'm sure I could get better with an audio interface and an expensive XLR microphone but I'll be honest I don't need that

Hi, I need help with the rest of the parts for an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5090 build. Any help would be much appreciated.

[stray portal]

Oo a rich fella

Get an expensive motherboard (i like gigabyte) and 64gb ddr5

Big psu as well

[ionic topaz]

Ok

[bold olive]

get the x870 for this kind of cpu, the vrms are higher quality

(preferred gigabyte)

[gaunt spade]

ddr6 for him

[rough salmon]

I wanna slowly build a pc, what should I buy first

What’s a decent motherboard

[sharp lance]

I think my mc server is idling to warm

[iron glen]

Looks fine to me
What should it be at?

[spring quail]

to warm what?

[iron glen]

They meant too warm

Most likely

[sharp lance]

its sarcasm

[spring quail]

I'm aware, so was my reply.

[bold olive]

[gilded harness]
