Maybe, but chances are it'll get taken down in the next few days

Oh dang, that's $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Have you ever tried listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin? I find he's the right level of captivating to keep me interested, but slow enough that I can still drift off to sleep

My suggestion is to spend maybe half an hour in the evening learninga new hobby/skill, then when you're in bed go over what you learnt in that half hour in your mind to cement it. You'll find that just running over the knowledge in your mind induces the "counting sheep" effect and will help you drift off to sleep.

If it doesn't work, then at least you'll learn a new skill much quicker!

Frugal Usenet works great for me

They don't have to tell you the truth. It could have been to test whether being told that it's "men vs women" affects the readings test subjects provide

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox

I'll take her, it's freezing cold where I live now

I agree that the pile-on wasn't necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won't kill you, but it won't help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I'm with you bro, although we don't need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They've already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

 

That's it, just wanted to whinge

So I realise I'm probably a dumbass, but I'm not sure in exactly which way yet. I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU in mid 2020, but looking online I see the cards under that name weren't released until 2022, and the specs look different??

I wrote down all the specs for my pc after I built it so I wouldn't forget. Could it be that I just wrote it down wrong and was telling people I had a CPU that wasn't even built yet?

edit: yes I'm a dumbass it was 3600X. I'm gonna go crawl in a hole now, thanks for your time.
