fellow nerdz, any reason I shouldn't bite the bullet on this? I already have a GPU (Radeon 7900 GRE) and CPU (Ryzen 9 9900X), I've been holding out on the mobo and RAM in the hopes of finding a great deal; alas, nothing I've managed to get, and I don't think I should wait much longer.

Team T-Force Vulcan ECO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model FLESD532G6400HC38JDC01 ($385)
&
MSI PRO B850-S WIFI6E Motherboard, ATX ($120)

Among other reasons to use DDG instead of Google is that I can still block domains on DDG; so, when a slopfarm comes up as the first result, I can never see them again. But otherwise, yes, when it comes to motherboards I worry about compatibility with seasoned, free-range ingredients.

Depicts a slophouse failing to explain PS2 (KBM) ports:

PS2 port is required by motherboards because their products have to be interoperable with more seasoned condiments. PS2 ports also allow for faster enrollment because they directly block the processor.

1. Because most gadgets haven’t been updated, there’s a chance that someone will try to connect them to this Port. As a result, they require their products to be compatible with more seasoned ingredients.

The detailed discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of PS2 ports are as follows:

Pros

1. A large number of games means that there is something for everyone.
2. The design of the console is unique and appealing.
3. Games are easy to come by and are inexpensive.
4. The PS2 interface has no restrictions on key rollover, and neither do USB keyboards unless they are used in BOOT mode.

Cons

1. Long loading times are expected.
2. There are only two controller ports.
3. You may need a lot of memory cards.
4. They’re not meant to be swapped out quickly. PS2 ports are used to connect the digital I/O lines of the external device’s microcontroller to the digital lines of the motherboard’s microcontroller.

3/3 I would be happy to explain this, but if I try to appeal I'm just told "Review not available". Since there's no strike, if it was a timed thing we might just roll with it but there's no indication of when we stream again. This is a big+easy PR channel for us so downtime is concerning.

2/3 Policy we broke was "minor under the age of 16 streaming". Visitors *are* allowed in the room, but minors must be w/an adult at all times; a sign notifies visitors of the stream. Even if one went alone--& I can't view the recording to even check--they are not the focus nor control the channel.

We think your content violated our child safety policy.

1/3 Shot in the dark here: I run a 24/7 Youtube stream for a cat rescue, showing our main kitten room. This has been going for ~10 years... until Tues, when our ability to stream was been disabled. Clicking on the button to repeal says "review not available". How fix?

Live streaming has been disabled. Please review Youtube's policies for more information.

Happy Pride Month! I've collected some bricks. For my family, you see. (And, yes, graphic design is my paison.)

HB3PS! I have this one saved because 1) yes; and, 2) invisible cheeseburger

A comic from Three Panel Soul with the panels arranged top to bottom:
Panel 1: A text box reads "Love is giving someone the power to hurt you terribly,". A guy and a gal are walking in a park(?), the guy taking a huge bite out of an invisible cheeseburger he's holding. The gal has a black bar over her eyes to hide her identity, which is present in the other two panels as well.

Panel 2: A text box reads "...and hoping they don't." Panel same couple now playing Guitar Hero

Panel 3: A textbox reads "And we never trust anyone as easily as we did the first time." Same couple at what seems to be a movie theater, the gal leaning heavily into the guy with their hands clasped together.

A Tale in Two Pumps $3.59 for the first (4/4), $3.89 for the second (4/29), and right now it's bouncing between $4.19 and $4.39 in the same area. And we are the /lucky/ ones.

Yes... but I think it's at least partially an issue of contrast. Some hasty RGB analysis the color areas I chose are all still in the "yellow" range, just closer to green than gold. I'd even take the "moderate yellow" as gold on its own. (I am zooming in respectfully)

I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but I created this version just last week so it's the only one I can think of rn

A parody of the silly "1984 Calendar" political cartoon. A woman, holding a phone, says "The OG Save the World mode is going free to play next month... what's going on?" while a man tears off a monthly calendar page for "...ber 2026" to reveal "August 2018" behind it.

This is in reference to the original mode for Fortnite, Save the World, going free-to-play on April 16, 2026 when it was originally announced to go F2P--and then rescinded--in Fall 2018.

There must be a better way to phrase this. Strong "kid named Finger" energy.

A table titled PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES listing:
Stand
Walk
Sit
Use hands to finger, handle or feed
Reach with hands and arms
Climb or balance

"Use hands to finger, handle or feed" is highlighted (because that's just weird, and the context of a job description from an elementary school even worse)

A "Thanks" Youtube comment on the video "You are being misled about renewable energy technology.", by techconnectify.bsky.social, with a tip(?) of FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE UNITED STATES DOLLAROONIES (and 99 cents) attached to it, reading "The world needs more people like you!"

ICE has murdered again, and like Renee Good it was filmed from multiple angles. If you watch them--by choice, or by the hellsites "helpfully" auto-playing it for you--take a bit to play Tetris or similar to minimize/avoid PTSD. Tetris itself has a free online version: play.tetris.com

A snippet of the article "How Tetris Might Help Prevent PTSD" from Psychology Today, posted February 22, 2025, reviewed by Margaret Foley. Categorized under "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder".

The blurb reads "A video game may affect how traumatic experiences get imprinted on the brain."

A "Key points" list reads
"- Studies show that over 70 percent of us will face at least one traumatic event in our lifetime.
- When you focus on fitting shapes into rows, you interrupt the intrusive memory formation associated with PTSD.
- Tetris competes for the brain's resources, “using up” the system before trauma memories can embed themselves."
