as long as the forums remain profitable to badspot in some insignificant way, this website will be up forever.
sweet, I intentionally disabled my adblocker for this website years ago so badspot can rake in that sweet sweet adsense revenue of .01 cent every other month

I would eat the lab grown meat 100% without any hesitations. I don't care if it's "creepy" or "not real." As long as it's food safe. I see no downside to it whatsoever.
ew, thats nasty. no thnx. 'food safe' vs healthy are not the same thing lol. legos and crayons are nontoxic and 'food safe' technically, but that doesn't mean you should eat them....

lab-grown meat is going to require some very careful oversight to maintain food safety. At least some of that heavy lifting will be in the form of antibiotics. However, infections aren't the only invisible enemy that can lurk in a cell. Eating mutant misfolded proteins (prions) can cause diseases such as mad cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

There is also the issue of what you feed these cells, because they aren't munching on grass. It will take a lot of medical grade glucose (sugar), metabolic precursors and growth hormones to keep these cells happy.

I would not eat that stuff even if someone offered to pay me to

And now the US-backed plan to expel all Palestinians from their ancestral home

Israel is indeed scum, but this part is a flat out lie


Quote from: NPR Article
Whether it will actually happen is another matter. Dozens of Arab and Muslim-majority countries have rejected the notion as ethnic cleansing. Annoying Orange said he would not force the idea after Egypt and Jordan rejected it.

"We paid Jordan and Egypt a lot - billions of dollars a year, and I was a little surprised they'd say that, but they did," Annoying Orange said on Fox News Radio on Feb. 21. "I think that's the plan that really works. But I'm not forcing it. I'm just going to sit back and recommend it."

as long as you clean any dust filters and use some compressed air for the vent holes occasionally, you should be fine.
Personally, I always remove dust filters because they plug up easily and can cause the system to overheat. I'd rather have a bit of dust on the PC components instead of impeding proper airflow through the case.
Also, be careful using compressed air because it can spray liquid refrigerant. It's typically not a problem since it evaporates quickly but could still damage smaller components if hit directly.
Use a regular air compressor or one of those handheld plug in kind if u have it - and don't forget to hold the fans in place whilst doing the air blasting, otherwise it could ruin the fan bearings.

Heat does increase resistance just as cooling decreases it, in fact get something cold enough and it becomes a superconductor, but the extra heat from dust probably doesn't significantly alter the resistance, but I've never tested.
yeah the biggest thing with dust in a PC is just impeding airflow, and with a significant amount of gunky dust like what was shown in the pic it's more like an insulator for the components, which definitely isn't good lol

Off Topic / Re: recommend me some good headphones
« on: March 20, 2025, 01:08:06 PM »
HyperX headphones have a few different models with detachable headphones. A few of them have inline 3.5 jacks and come with an inline 3.5 to 3.5 mic and 3.5 audio port adapter. That adapter is usually like 2/3rds of the total cable length. Mine usually last me a good few years, and the audio quality is good.
Which model of headset do you have?

I second HyperX. My current headset (cloud alpha wireless) has lasted me going on 3 years now and it's been dropped and knocked from my desk several times. In fact, it's been dropped so many times I have literal zip ties holding it together at this point, but the audio quality and battery life are just as good as the day I bought it!

If your going for wireless it's going to cost a bit more than wired, but worth it in the end imo since you can use the wireless ones wired in as well if u ever wanted to

haw haw
heh, glad u caught it

age gaps
ya it depends on the age. for example a 25 year old dating a 15 year old is obviously wrong - but it's completely acceptable for a 30 year old and a 40 year old to be together even though the 'age gap' is the same.

anything more than like 20 years seems kinda odd tho, like a 70 year old being with a 50 year old a bit weird...but at that point yall been adults forever so who gives a stuff i guess lol

I'm a fan of different flavored blooming tea, one of my favorites being sunset oolong which has a sort of peachyness flavor to it. other than that usually I just drink regular black tea with some honey and cinnamon

BLOCKHEAD ETHICS!!
Every week I will post a new ethics question for our beloved blockheads to debate. The results will be saved for posterity.

The first question is one that everyone knows. The Trolley Problem!


A runaway trolley is headed towards a fork in the tracks. On the south track, there are five people tied to the track. The trolley will hit and kill all of them unless diverted to the north track, where one person is tied to the track. You are the only person close enough to the switch to divert the trolley in time. If you do nothing, five people will die. But you did not tie them to the tracks, so have you really killed them? If you do divert the trolley, you will kill one person who was otherwise safe. You are responsible for his death. But in sacrificing one, you save five.

What do you do, blockheads?
you're just asking if they would save 1 guy or 5 guys and the logical answer is to save the 5 .....however if u alter the scenario just a bit, you will find the voted outcome may vary. see below pic for details:
