of course i know, or id have put my money where my mouth is, and ram alone is too pricey for that now. id have to get a new motherboard too. i love my op cpu, this pc rocks when it’s working (which is 99% of the time), but when training time comes it’s still frustrating that the new shit is so busted for me

Honestly I think DDR4 is the right call for an everyday-use PC anyway. I might be showing my ignorance here, but when I upgraded my PC I got DDR5-6000 and the memory training times are INSANE. The first few times I tried to boot I wound up restarting because 5 mins after hitting the button it still hadn’t shown the manufacturer’s logo and I assumed it was busted. Once it finally does finish the training, it usually doesn’t have to do it again for a while… but sometimes it does! Totally randomly (as far as I can tell), I’ll go for a quick reboot, maybe swapping from my Linux install back over to Windows or something, and what should be a 15 second wait is now suddenly a full 5+ minutes.
Near as I can tell, DDR5 Just Does That Sometimes??? How is that an upgrade!? I guess I’m probably seeing some performance gains from the faster timing, but man, sometimes I think I’d trade it in exchange for never having to wait on a black screen for minutes at a time.

Easy, just switch the two. There’s no way we’d all spend years confused about which sport anyone is talking about!
Dang, I’m full of great ideas today!

I really wouldn’t make mind heavier traffic enforcement in residential areas. Seems like across the whole country, we have super low limits on highways, and a super high one in neighborhoods, where it actually matters. Not to mention the enforcement seems to only happens on highways as well; can’t remember ever seeing someone pulled over for speeding through a neighborhood, but I see it happen all the time.
And on top of all that, even though more neighborhood enforcement would be nice… Flock is clearly not the way to do it

Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins

It's not only about trying to get trolls to drop their bullshit (which, you're right, is a nearly impossible task) but also trying to keep the trolls from dragging other people down into crazytown. At the very least, suing people for spreading bullshit like this might dissuade others from following their example if they see there are consequences

- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 3 months ago:
The big difference is that hacky shit in Linux almost always happens because of oversights, whereas Windows actively fights you on things you want to do. This means that a solution that worked for some forum poster 10 years ago has a pretty good chance of still working today (if it's even still necessary), whereas Microsoft would see that fix as a bug and try to "patch" it. You would never have the fuck around like this just to get your default browser to be, y'know, the default.
Not to mention trying to troubleshoot Windows always means having to browse through a half dozen forum posts of people having your exact problem, but the only replies are some IT script that takes 3 paragraphs to tell you to reinstall whatever program, with no follow up when that inevitably doesn't work.

Yeah, isn't aging straight up caused by degradation during replication, like oxidation or something? I feel like being immortal would necessarily imply we fixed that shit

I'm too lazy to look it up right now but there have definitely been cheaters in Rocket League. The fact that it isn't a shooter is actually made it easy to cheat in; when there's no precedent for what cheating even looks like, how do you spot it? I remember a few years ago there was a whole scandal where it turned out someone who was famous for making trickshots had some kind of bot that was able to calculate exactly how to hit the ball midair and send it into the goal.

I don't think the "choosing a server" thing has been a serious roadblock for years, if it ever was. Most people just pick The Big One anyway. If they knew enough to care about distributing users properly among instances, they probably wouldn't be intimidated by picking

While the the letters are adjacent, I don't think that was a typo. "Finna" is pretty common slang, just a variant of "gonna"

Depends on topping orientation. Top pizza needs to be upside down to be a sandwich/calzone; if it's right side up it's a lasagna
- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 4 months ago:
I've worked repetitive, hot, boring jobs before, but I don't know how the people working those trucks can keep their sanity with that music on repeat. I get sick enough of Christmas music in stores after hearing them like twice, and the blaring of an ice cream truck is 100x worse!
- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 4 months ago:
One just started coming through my neighborhood like 2 weeks ago, and there's a kid a few houses down who seems to always be ready to run out and stop the truck. Takes easily 10+ minutes for the music to fade out. Like, I hate to be a grumpy old man, but that music drives me fucking nuts! I'm on the verge of trying to beat the kid to the truck just so I can bribe the guy to drive away as fast as possible

Probably also doesn't hurt that the US is generally far more reliant on driving to get anywhere. There's a higher tolerance for doing it dangerously since there's no alternative
