I feel like this title should’ve been something about European vs. African Swallows, but I do cherish The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch scene.

I always loved the way he delivers the line “Five is Right Out!”

What a great scene. The rest of the verse says:

“Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”

I need to make a trek to the giant blue box. Lingonberry Master Race!

Don’t @ me cranberry peasants.

You really Britta’d this painting…

Swap the red LEDs for blue, should tie the whole room together.

The wall plate is a great idea if you don’t mind cutting holes in the wall.

Honestly, I’d grab a couple of acoustic tiles to put on either side of the TV and chuck all that shit behind them. Maybe cinch up and ziptie anything I know doesn’t need to move for a while.

If you’re running a bunch of virtual machines or LLMs or something that needs a lot of RAM(video production/editing), it could be beneficial to run all 4 simultaneously if they’ll play nice with each other.

That said, it’ll certainly be slower than running the faster of the two kits in proper dual-channel mode for gaming. If you’re a novice or get easily fed up, I’d go with q. Be sure to activate XMP.

Coincidence or did you get that email from eBay today, too?

They probably got hacked and we’ll find out about it next year.

It says Continue without disabling on the bottom of that banner, which if you do, it gives you access to the whole site without hassling you again. At least it does on my end with Firefox.

Obviously it’s bullshit to constantly badger you, but it doesn’t currently restrict access to anything.

I got some VOLTME cables and a charging brick on aliexpress about 4 years ago that have been sturdy as a rock. They actually deliver 100W according to my laptop’s charging icon.

They’re braided and basically impossible to twist the wrong way. Here they are on amazon if you don’t want to wait the 20-odd days for shipping from China.

Add a smaller boot drive to run the OS and programs from, for sure. Maybe 2 if he wants to dual boot Windows and Linux(Steam OS full release is on the horizon).

If you can snag a 5090 in 2-3 days when they release, you’ll definitely be future-proofing yourself a bit more. There’s a liquid cooled version of the 5090 by Gigabyte that’s sure to be one of the best performing aftermarket variants.

I’d also swap the motherboard with the Asrock Taichi X870E, which is the best featured X870E board IMO. I’ve also had loads of issues with Asus products. Otherwise, it looks pretty maxed out. You win all the brownie points!
