    [News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

    Qualified Immunity isn't going anywhere. The brutality is getting worse, and the murders are spreading like wildfire. We had cops shoot three separate people in the back in the last week in Oregon, as well as two racists murdering black people (one because his stereo was too loud in the hotel...

    Formula One

    I was amazed that Grojean walked away from that crash the way he did. It was a sheer marvel of engineering and safety standards, and will hopefully silence the complaints about the halo making cars look bad for any but the biggest of mouth breathers. That being said, props to George - gets to...

    Former President Trump Thread

    I think they're testing to see if Parler will really allow them to use the platform to organize rallies - and so far, Parler seems happy to allow it. Also, there was that little bit yesterday where someone even more racist than Enrique Tarrio called him out on Twitter or Parler and announced...

    Whats for Dinner?

    Covid left me a parting gift. I can't eat meat anymore. Meals are so much more satisfying and cheap now. All this time, meat was the problem - at least here on the West coast of the US where all of our beef is the cheapest Brazilian beef money can buy, chicken is shipped in from Georgia (state)...

    Build your own computer guide

    So, what I wound up with, when all was said and done, is: ASRock X570 Pro4 mATX 16GB of DDR4 2133 Radeon RX570 Ryzen 3600 Corsair 750W PSU Optical Drive 1TB 7200rpm Seagate that came in my Lenovo in 2008. I do miss the fast startup of an SSD, but two of them were fried by this PSU and there's...

    All your guns are belong in this thread.

    What if I'm hunting Blue Birds and Greyhounds? 50 BMG is pretty much it, right? I mean, aside from 37mm or 40mm grenades? Also, I should point out, Oregon has very lax limitations on weapons ownership.

    All your guns are belong in this thread.

    Picked up a couple of entry-level crossbows for home defense/playing around with. They're not legal to hunt with in Oregon and it looks like the state has no intention of ever changing that, but I didn't buy them for hunting, so that's not an issue. Really wish there were better resources for...

    Rant VIII: The Reckoning

    Probably only in rural settings. Hopefully only in rural settings. A lot of jurisdictions just send cops if they don't have an animal control officer.

    Dual Universe. I'm sure it has some good points, but mostly I haven't found them yet. And as it turns out, a space game without any aliens trying to kill you? Kinda boring. But really, I think mostly I was pissed at the jackass that tried to report us for hoarding cats.

    Rant VIII: The Reckoning

    So, a couple weeks ago we finally got a call for our business, of someone who had a mama cat and three kittens that they wanted to catch and hand over to us to socialize and then adopt out the kittens, fix the mama cat, and find a good home for her. We exchanged information, it was a whole big...

    100% cotton, baby. But if dust can be static charged then I can guess where the problem was. I'm going to need a few more HEPA filters to keep up with the clay dust, because the motherboard I pulled out of this case yesterday - I'm surprised it hadn't caught fire yet. Or maybe become home to its...

    Oh, and the chip in my debit card died. I think I'm just cursed. I don't know which coven I pissed off, but damn.

    All that being said, this ancient hard drive, which I was certain was the source of all of my woes on my system from three upgrades ago? It works fine, now that it's not being driven by an AMD Phenom X-II with 6GB of DDR2.

    Sloppy inventory control during Covid19 from an increasingly-sloppy retailer (newegg), I'm guessing. That isn't even the only bad thing I got in that order. I ordered a fancy new case with tons of USB ports and an external SATA3 port, but the front panel is DoA. The power button stuck, but it...

    Oh, and @PatrThom, the reason we couldn't reconcile why my motherboard and RX570 didn't fit together like the pictures said they should is because I ordered an ATX board, but I got an mATX board, and I'm so used to working on those, I didn't notice the difference. But if you take the M2 heatsink...

    Those drives are dead as fuck and I have no idea what happened, but I'm sure as hell not plugging my last SSD into this power supply.
