  • Same. I actually built my first computer a year before prices went super saiyan but it sounds like you got an even better deal. My system is:

    • Intel 14100 - $98
    • 2×16 DDR4 Corsair 3200 - $57
    • Asrock B660 - $98
    • Corsair 80+ bronze PSU - $70
    • 500GB Crucial SSD - $37
    • Seagate 28TB HHD - $368

    So $728 plus a cheapo case. Today it would be $1171 just casually picking the same parts from eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. That’s a 160% jump.







  • As an athletic trainer, I describe it like so:

    Think of your muscles as a rubber band. If its cold, then its more at risk of snapping under load. To warm it up, you stretch it gently repeatedly. (Dynamic stretches) You don’t stretch it to its max and hold it there. (Static stretching) You’re just exhausting the elasticity. Saving static stretches for after activity keeps the rubber band from bunching up and sticking together as it cools down again.

    An injured muscle could be described as being “colder” or like rubber bands stick together sometimes. And the best way to fix them is to work them back to normal in a controlled manor.





  • I’ll be honest. After the initial Hamas attack I also thought Israeli response was acceptable. I didn’t know much of anything beyond Zionist propaganda. I learned the truth and now I can say with absolute certainty and conviction that Israel is an aggressor in more than just the Palestinian conflict(which is a genocide). It’s hard to know you’re in a propaganda bubble when the edge is on the other side of the world. But now that I know it’s there, it’s absolutely influencing my decisions in elections. I voted against an AIPAC candidate in the Democratic primary entirely because of their campaign funding sources.
