What do you classify as independent?

Why the special qualifier of “computerized” chess? Do humans regularly lose to Atari’s at chess? LLMs are computerized too.

Enact blockades in international waters?

Weigh that against the stress of not having a job or place to live though.

It’s just that you’re going to get screwed in the future if you need to finance a car or house with bad or no credit.

Thank you for asking so that I didn’t have to.

Someone can still commit identity theft against you whether you use credit or not. Might as well use it to your advantage.

Unless your Blu-ray player can’t phone home to verify the license on your disc in which case it stops working.

How would they know what your dick size is unless you got hard during waxing? You stated yourself that you’re a grower like a lot of guys and I’m sure a person who waxes genitals for a living would recognize this. This doesn’t make any sense.

I think they’re saying women can go to UPS to ogle buff men but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a buff male UPS worker/driver.

These both seem like solid middle class purchases.

This cat don’t need no third hand to solder.

Does you cat have a gigantic front right paw or is that just a camera artifact?

I feel like this is missing a word or two

I’m almost 40, tall, not in great shape, have bad posture, and have two misaligned disks in my lower back and even my back pain isn’t that bad, so I would say that no it’s not normal. You should definitely get that checked out.

With the few stations near me that have them, the mute button is the 2nd down from the top on the right side of the screen.

Well a car from 2006 isn’t going to stay pristine forever so it’s no surprise it’s gone down over the past 20 years.

Yeah I’m definitely jealous of the people who have a Microcenter nearby. We had Radio Shack and a Fry’s 45 minutes away and both are gone now. Fry’s came in clutch when my old AM3 backing plate snapped in half and my CPU cooler fell off. They had one in stock and I was able to buy just the backing plate by itself. If I’d gone to Best Buy, they’d probably just look at me weird and tell me I’d need to buy a whole new computer.

I think the Define 5 is a good option as well. I bought the 6 in 2018 because it was new, was white, and only like $99 at the time and it’s served me well. Every couple of years I’d buy some more drive trays as my pool filled up and I needed more space.

I just rebuilt my whole system a couple of months ago but kept the case because it works so well and there isn’t much on the market like it without getting into fullsize cases. It’s nearly silent even with 5 fans and 9 HDDs inside. It sits about 2 feet from me on my desk and I only hear a tiny hum from the fans.

PC Part Picker has filters that will let you set all your requirements and show you what’s available. Since you want ECC and low cost, you might be better off finding options on PCPartPicker and then looking for those items used on ebay.

If you don’t have a case already, you might check out Fractal Design. They have several cases for lots of 3.5" drives. I have a Define 6 and it holds like 12 3.5" and 4 2.5" in a midtower format and it’s constructed really well. You will need to buy additional drive trays though as they only come with 4 I think.
