    Hmm, wonder how they'll wrap things up in Agents of Shield with only 2 episodes left.

    Oh neat. Mars is just above and to the left of the moon.

    That explains all the lunatic(the moon) religious fanatics fighting endless wars(Mars god of war) as the hallmark of the 21st century. The year 2020 is the apex of two decades of a thoroughly batshit and mortiferous shitshow of unprecedented barbaric proportions.

    Apparently you could see all the planets last night to early morning with just binoculars (Uranus and Neptune) and the naked eye for the rest.

    Hmm, I took a long walk at around 12-1am last night and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

    Mars was quite visible, could see it above the moon from my window whilst playing games last night - between 11:30 and midnight was when I noticed it. And I'm only a couple hours behind you. Didn't see anything else but I checked a star map thingum to confirm everything.

    I've got plenty of steam keys for trade and sale. I've dropped the asking price down to $1.

    Well shit this is unexpected. Seeing as I've upgraded a bunch of stuff on my PC I figured I shouldn't use ye olde stock CPU cooler from my old wimpy CPU anymore.

    Before installing my new Noctua tower I did a baseline test. I grabbed a couple GB of random files, tossed them into 7zip and let it run using ~100% CPU usage, for ~11 minutes. I reached a peak temp of 59C, and took like a minute or 2 to get back down to the systems normal ~40C.

    Not too bad I figured, sure the Noctua tower is going to run the entire test at ~40C, right? Right. Yes, yes it did just that, it hit a max temp of 43C, and took less than 30 seconds to push my system down ~30C when finished. That's unsurprising. What's surprising is how 7zip ran through the test... Using the exact same test parameters, it ran with my CPU hitting approximately 75% usage the entire time, and it completed the test in around 9.5 minutes. WTF. Seriously, clicking around on everything on my system feels snappier and faster? This isn't a placebo, I just did a bunch of system upgrades and already thought everything was running plenty fast, but there's noticeable speed changes, just from a CPU cooler.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    But, but, I had to dance around a fire burning a goat in sacrifice to our lord and master Satan.

    Simple things can make a noticeable difference.
    Even if you stick to a stock cooler setup you can see improvement by delid and using quality thermal paste, I just did that recently with a C2D E8500 and it's running stock fan/heatsink that was originally for Celeron E3300.
