  • Yep. You are dealing a person who straight up thinks it’s okay for Russia to invade Ukraine because the US also invaded a bunch of countries. You’ll hear a bunch of bullshit about history and geopolitics as parents post up pictures of dead kids.

    They are on the other side of the same coin as MAGA and they want their chosen team to win.

    These kind of people are always a problem. They only want things to get better for their groups and are perfectly willing to champion atrocity if it fits their views.

    Paying attention to the daily slaughter of Ukrainians who are victims of imperial Russia should be consistent with supporting Palestinians and the democratically elected Venezuela government. They can hold what seem like counter views because it’s not about atrocity against civilians. It’s about what side gets to inflict it.

    They truly believe paying attention to the Bucha massacre degrades the importance of US war crimes.



  • Never have I have had to ask twice from an avid reader for a book recommendation. It’s like asking for a tech geeks favorite linux distro.

    I know and chat with actual literature professors and professional authors. Someone who knows what they are talking about is not reluctant to share knowledge with people. I always learn, even by accident being in the mere vicinity of those folks. You are not from that group.

    For you I recommend Something Happened, by Joseph Heller

    I suspect your life is going to go about as good as Bob’s life. Nice easy book by a famous author. I’ve read dozens of books and this was one of them.








  • When trouble shooting sometimes chips, caps or resistors can get much hotter than surrounds parts. It can let you know to inspect that part for replacement.

    Sure don’t grab leads with your fingers but sometimes you can tell something like a voltage regulator is malfunctioning because it just gets really hot.

    I mean you can just use an IR camera but most people don’t have one.




  • I’m no expert either but a first step would be to take the case off and listen for which part the whine is coming from. That may clue you in.

    You can also touch parts and see if any are extra warm/hot soon after start up.

    That can help direct your trouble shooting.

    Don’t buy parts until you have a clue as to what might be happening. It’ll save you money.


  • Depends on the reason you are eating it. A baby spinach salad is the healthy way I like best it’s easy enough to eat a 1/2 to 1 pound at a time.

    My favorite spinach dish is a Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé. It’s the opposite of healthy. I used to cook it to a soft set and use it as a chip dip. It became my go to dip to replace artichoke dip
