wtf is wrong with my computer
  • Don't put WD-40 on the pins. I'd start by pulling out the sicks and cleaning the pins off with a q-tip and iso alcohol. Probably a good idea to clean out the slots now too.

    Get Memtest64 and run it with both sticks. If it fails try it with each one by itself. If a stick doesn't past the test you should be able to get a new one under warrenty. Just start an RMA request and say it failed memtest64.

    If its not your ram then its probably a poorly seated CPU. Remove the cooler, clean the paste off and carefully put the cooler back on without over tightening it, or tightening one side more than the other.

  • I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with finding pirated movies. Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉
  • That's just the nature of peer-to-peer file sharing. When you download a torrent from a large site your client broadcasts your IP to any of the available seeders. Seeders are just anyone who downloaded the torrent before you, and you generally download from many seeders for one torrent.

    Using a VPN or seedbox masks your IP. The actual torrent itself isn't "traceable" unless you continue to seed after its compleled downloading.

  • everyone fights...
  • That sounds more like DARE style bullshit to justify getting angry at people stealing formula. I've definitely heard of baby powder or baby laxative but that's because they react similar to coke by dissolving in water like blow or acting like a numbing agent. Baby formula doesn't numb and it gets milky in water.

    It makes no sense from a economic stand point either. People cut drugs to make more money. Most of the shit they use costs next to nothing, isn't watched and definitely isn't locked up.

  • The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing into stupidity
  • Hue emulator/ diy hue. It runs on Linux or an old router. I have it running on a raspberry pi attached to my network. You can use official hue products or a handful of other WiFi light products like IKEA lights or Xiomi Yeelights. I use Yeelight bulbs and custom led strips connected to programmable WiFi chips. Took a bit of soldering but it works flawlessly now. The yeelights and custom strips cost a fraction of the official hue products.

  • can you imagine an American grocery chain standing up to their vendors?
  • The Fred Meyer (Kroger) in my neighborhood has 4-5 armed and body armored security guards stationed at the entrance and exits. They ask to check your receipts at the exit and search all your bags.

    Its actually illegal to force someone to stop since its not a private club like Costco, so you can just tell them no and keep walking. Thats not well known though so you have stormtroopers checking old ladies papers and searching all their belongings.

    Oregon allows off duty officers to moonlight as armed guards so a lot of them are cops from various departments. During the 2020 protests there were a few Federal Protective Service agents patrolling the store.

  • Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?
  • I pirate a ton of stuff, but I also see more movies in theaters than most people I know. I'm lucky enough to live in a place that still has an awesome local video store that has a ton of hard to find, obacure films. Like shaw brothers kung fu films, or documentaries like Jefftowne.

  • Usain bolt racing in reduced gravity
  • Like everyone else I wanted to go to space as a kid. My dreams were dashed year by year as I picked up habits that barred me from going, dropping out of highschool probably the biggest one.

    Now I realize going to space fucking sucks. This video was filmed in "the vomit comet", a converted passenger plane that fly's in a way to mimic weightlessness. Its like being on a roller coaster dropping and a lot of people puke, leading to the nickname. The ISS is essentially in constant freefall, so your stomach will always be like that and you just have to get over it. It smells horrible because no one can take a proper shower. Taking a shit hasn't been perfected yet either so loose turds floating around is a common problem.

    You lose muscle mass and all your joints drift apart while you're up there. Just returning to normal gravity makes your entire body hurt inside and out. Reentry flights don't come down gently though, you go from nothing to multiple g's immediately.

    Space fucking sucks and I'm glad I decided to smoke weed instead of exploring essentially nothing.

  • What is gravity?
  • The James Web Space Telescope's Instagram page posted the phenomenon recently. Gravity from nearby galaxies magnifies space near them, allowing the telescope to see incredibly far away galaxies.

  • Shell Silently Abandoned Its $100 Million-a-Year Plan to Offset CO2 Emissions
  • A shocking number of our laws are written by lobbyist. Like you can't import foreign cars unless they're the exact model sold in the US or over 25 years old, because of anti competive laws created by automotive lobby's.

  • Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump
  • For most people that's impossible. You need to raise an incredible amount just to run. In the state I live in elected officials get paid about $15,000 les s than a living wage for a single person, almost assuring that people need to be well off already.
