yeah building a PC is like bare minimum gamer cred. it takes like an hour if you know what you're doing and it's easily 25% cheaper than buying some pre-built gaming rig

Putting it together physically isn't difficult, no. Picking out parts that work together and utilize the fullest extent of their individual capabilities (if you're picking them out yourself) is the only mildly difficult part.

And there are gotchas, like my motherboard disables two SATA slots if you've got a second NVME drive installed, and my monitor can only do 144mhz/gsync/HDR if you use a DisplayPort cable instead of HDMI. The motherboard also wants the ram installed in slots 2 and 4 if you only have two sticks installed. Things like that. None of it is hard, but it is RTFM.

The trick to picking out parts to build a PC is to go to SH/SC and tell the PC building thread what you want, and someone who loves doing this poo poo more than anything will get back to you in like 30 minutes with a build where everything is compatible and all the parts are on sale.

I ask because that website is specifically to design a PC build and will show you any compatibility issues and who has the best price for each part. You can also look at other people's builds and what they benchmark at and their use cases.

3) get some water + soap on your hand

4) give your filthy rear end and/or genitals a good thorough soapy rub, just like you'd do in the shower (unless you're an incel afraid of turning gay just by touching your taint)


Ok I’m late for bidet chat but people get all up in their rear end and junk with their hands when using a bidet after making GBS threads?

I got one of the bidet toilet seats for the end times and it’s great but I just spray and wipe. Didn’t realize I was supposed to be so hands on.

I had Fishmech tell me more than once that I was wrong and lying when I related a totally bland personal anecdote and it's almost a shame she's not here any more to tell me I'm lying about that.

That's not true though. Why would you make up such a boring story about someone who can't even answer for themselves. What a lame way to try get glory.

first of all, you need to wipe until your rear end is reasonably clean before you go clean yourself. if you're slathering a 50/50 mixture of poo poo and soap there's something wrong with the whole process

the whole purpose of a bidet is being able to clean your genitals and your rear end without taking a full shower and I suppose that when you shower you don't just spray yourself with water and call it a day?

for instance, when I didn't have a real, standalone bidet I just wiped then jumped into the shower to clean myself there while squatting

I don't know how much room there is with those toilet attachments but I assume they're meant just for splashing your butt, I can't picture myself shoving my hand down the toilet to clean my rear end while I'm seated on it

get a real beefy bidet, bitch

NYC Subway Banned Dogs Unless They Fit In a Bag, So Owners Got Creative

The rules are clear when it comes to carrying animals on the New York City subway: “No person may bring any animal on or into any conveyance or facility unless enclosed in a container.” But the rules say nothing about the size of the animal, and as you can see from this picture, some people got really creative in order to avoid a fine.

I'm pretty sure the spirit of that law is that dogs shouldn't be able to easily escape and cause havoc. So if you can stuff your lab into a bag and carry it around, it should actually be allowed, as it's hardly different from just carrying a bag without a dog. People who cut holes in bags to let their dogs walk go against both the letter (the dog is not fully in the bag) and the spirit.
