Every now and then I stumble across my old writings. I have a box of stuff that I unearthed when we had to move everything in the basement in order to fix the sewage piping, and in there were some courtesy copies of some of the magazines I used to write for. I'd wondered what had happened to those.

I didn't check the articles I wrote, I just put them back and right now, I've already lost sight of the box. :laugh:

Odeon, when the LOL is over, find the box. You might be surprised at what you can learn from finding reminders of what you used to be. Many would call me full of shit on that notion (because those youngsters still remember everything), but none of us have really changed much, we only adapted to life as it came in full measure, disrupting our "Best Laid Plans."
Locate the box and ...

Yeah, I guess. Maybe. Those articles taught me how to write even when I don't have the slightest interest in the subject.

I still can't nail down the specs for the computer I wanna build.
i5 12th gen or i7 11th gen? Going for a B660 or B560 motherboard chipsets respectively. Then I deep dived into the QVL lists for the MB's and got frustrated cos none of the RAM sticks I like are on them. Are they even relevant, or can I help myself to any DDR4 memory at a compatible speed and size? Would it void the MB warranty?  :headhurts:

Might have to choose a different MB that can support your RAM choice. But putting higher grade RAM into a system that does not know what to do with it will just compromise the RAM. Won't hurt the MB.
Good luck with this!

Good luck.

Google issues with the B560 motherboards, I've heard mixed things.

We debated with the i7 when we did the boys 2 years back but went with a Ryzen 7 instead. No complaints.

I didn't find anything, only that MSI boards had issues. The 12th gen 1700 socket I originally planned was too new for there to be choices of aftermarket CPU coolers (not without buying some extra bracket anyway).

I've been learning a lot anyway. Even if it turns out to be a harshly expensive lesson lol.


New thing today: there's a job opening but it's like an hour's commute away. Wondering if I should just say screw it and apply. The extra pay would be eaten up by petrol ( or it could finance an EV purchase if high enough)  :orly:

I've been thinking about EV's lately, maybe going from my ICE extreme V8 to the opposite. You can't predict me at all  :zoinks:

Are your fingers dusted orange from Cheetos? Does your shirt smell like perfume? Did you buy a motorcycle? What is all this about?

And if your fingers are in fact dusted orange from Cheetos, may I lick them?  :zoinks:
