that is so going to go over well.

I was making an observation, rather than speculation.

I once made a joke about sea urchins and rule34…. Several people rule 35’d it

I’m sure there’s something out there. Rule 34 and all that.

Unless he’s building a custom loop because he’s really into building custom pcs, then liquid cooling isn’t worth it.

A decent heat sink on the CPU and several fans blowing correctly in the case will do just as good. The only real drawback is that they’re not as quiet under high load.

As for AIOs, it’s been a while but I doubt rather a lot that they re on par as far as price goes, and you’re going to be better off buying better (read: noctua) fans.

More/larger fans also can be ran at lower rpm’s for the same cooling and get even quieter. (And have that much more under high load.)

To the edit: you’re gonna find that there’s little more decisive than liquid vs air when it comes to building pcs. I like my liquid rig. But also, I realize most people won’t enjoy changing coolant every month.

Yay fascist censorship!

No.

you need proteins. neither skittles nor the vast majority of multivitamins contain proteins. And in any case, the vast majority of “junkfood diets” suck for your health. Usually they’re a gimmick to teach you about caloric intake for weightloss (and maybe some chemistry.)

I know, right?

for the record, this might give you an idea of how much floof that thing has. They’re where we get angora wool from.

they’re bookies… and they use wombats as enforcers.

I reckon the quokka is more cute than the bunny.

I dunno. rabbits have it on floof if you go with the angora. Quokka take it on charm, though.

fucker maced a harmless bunny…

granted the bunny was punching well above it’s fluffy weightclass. :)

Never underestimate what a small creature can do.

I had the distinct displeasure of being a manager over a jackass that maced a bunny. (It was begging for food and he freaked out.)

Buns panicked, ran up his pantleg and went all Spawn of Caerbannog on his balls.

Dunno if he was emasculated, but you’d think it by his screaming. (It wasn’t just that it got nibbly. Buns was soaked in OC spray he was definitely not supposed to have.)

Buns found a good home with the animal rescue lady, too. She was decidedly less frosty when I asked for a copy of her report so we could put in his file.

As an American, it’s mostly just a joke.

A lot of it has to do with nature documentaries that focus on the extremely misunderstood but potentially deadly animals. For clicks, they tend to play up how dangerous/viscuous/whatever they are. (See every shark show ever)

Like quoka aren’t really talked about, either.

The pull out method doesn’t work.

I know this because I have a friend who swears by it. He has four ooops-babies.

Maybe make life suck less so they have time and energy to be horny rather than make life suck more:

You’re still wrong.

the M1 money supply is the vast majority of the m2 supply in 2020, it was 18 trillion and peaked at 21 trillion and then went down to 19.5 trillion. That’s not “80-90%”. That’s 16.67%

And once again:

The increased money supply caused rampant and near catastrophic inflation that is the root of today’s affordability crisis.

So do you get the point yet?

Not sure who downvoted you, lol. You’re quite correct (I just didn’t want to get into the weeds, heh.)

and yes. it’s good to remember that not all debt is “bad” debt. Especially on a national level. I still think it’d be nice if they passed a balanced budget, though. (and one that covered everything that was important. like healthcare and housing and infrastructure and climate resiliency and stuff, and not bombs for genocidal maniacs)

This is factually incorrect.

the M2 money supply expanded from 15 trillion to ~22 trillion from 2020 to feb. 2022 Then 1 trillion or so was removed by apr 2023.

You’ll notice that inflation tacked that fairly closely. when there was an explosive growth of the m2, inflation was insanely high and then when some was removed, inflation began cooling off.

Also, Please go study some history.

This is what caused hyperinflation in the Wiemar Republic

This also caused hyperinflation in Hungary,

This is what triggered hyperinflation in Zimbabwe

In fact, there are many countries that have experienced hyperinflation, in which printing money is a common factor.

Is it possible that there’s some wiggle room, where the effects won’t be so bad? sure. Does that make it good economic policy? not really. COVID wasn’t about perfect, or even good. If you’re on fire, it’s natural instinct to start patting the fire out with your hand. It burns your hand, and that’s not good, but it’s better than burning to death, right? Same concept.

said another way… they think our food cleanliness is somewhere between “dirty as fuck” and “You eat that?!”

cash is largely minted by the government, and they usually aim to maintain “enough” (currently 2.3k billion dollars currently?)

Most of the money supply is not in physical cash, though- they call that the m1 supply which is found in things like savings and checking accounts, other kinds of deposit accounts, etc.

Currency is added to the economy by buying back government securities (think bonds). Specifically this is the Federal Reserve. we also pay interest on money held at by the Fed. (Banks invest the money.)

Printing more money doesn’t make more value- it actually reduces the individual value of a dollar.

That value needs to come from somewhere.

When a currency is backed by some commodity (we backed by silver and gold, historically.) that value comes from whatever is backing it (ie you could go to a bank and get that stuff.)

Today, the dollar is backed by the confidence of the people using it. Specifically, the confidence in the US government. The value is also affected by supply and demand for that currency.

If the US suddenly decided to print the trillions dollar coin, the market reaction wouldn’t be all that hot. There is some wiggle room but generally not a lot.

If you want to know what happens when you push it too far, check out the Weimar Republic (Germany), Hungary after ww2 and Zimbabwe in the late 2000’s

It’s very much not-good.
