I donāt know whatās worse, the fact that being famous automatically gets people to consider them as authority figures, or the fact that most people, including thos actors, donāt understand economicsā¦
With a strong understanding of morality and economics having a solid political stance is easy. But youāll probably struggle to figure out for who to vote at that point as all the candidates will sound crazyā¦
The desire to master or at least understand multiple fields is certainly missing on a lot of people.

Can someone look up the price of a 32gb kit of DDR5 from any reasonably trustworthy brand for me?
(Not actually)
I think I might be seeing things..

Iāve been looking for a 128gb kit for my laptopā¦

Out of curiosity, what use would you have for 128gb of memory, and in a laptop at that?
My desktop is running 48gb, and my laptop 24gb. My main server is running 32.
Perhaps this laptop serves as your primary workstation?

Yeap, and I have a tendency to run way too many virtual machinesā¦
I upgraded my computer not that long ago, but going from DDR4 to DDR5 meant a downgrade to 32gb of RAMā¦ Although Iām still keeping the old computer around.

Wasnāt expecting reptiles to get chipped, but I guess that makes sense. Although that cyborg is technically not fluffyā¦ Although it is indeed cute. 
I found the length measurement confusing at first, until I realized that you got a pet snake.

For what itās worth, I have 48gb for that exact reason. I can run a win11 VM and a linux VM and still have 20gb left over for my host OS. It is quite a nice capability to have.
As you should. Extras are wonderful.

For the record, Sherman does not have any microchipsā¦ To my knowledgeā¦ But the previous owner had him since he was a wee worm and they did not mention any so I find it unlikely. Once he is comfy Iāll definitely feel the usual spots for lumps.
I suppose I did break both rules.. Hmm.. @Pilgrimsmaster can move my post if he believes that this is too large of a violation. My apologies, though for the record heās such a cute little guy that I donāt feel bad about it.

Thatās what I have in the old laptop, and thatās because I couldnāt go up to 64gb.
Yeap, especially if you have Linux on the extra computer with a bunch of backup and recovery oriented tools installedā¦ Although I like to have backups either way.
Iām thinking AI server or for playing those games that use invasive anti-cheat rootkits. It has a 3080 after allā¦
Anyways, a huge SSD is another priority for me right now. Computers get expensive quicklyā¦
He is indeed cute!

I think āfur babyā is a generic term for a pet, which also covers danger noodles like Sherman.

Good luck! Iāve lost hundreds on failed Kickstarters. First on a 3D printer that never made it to production, then on some mesh radios that might have been a scam from the beginning. Iāve sworn off Kickstarter after thatā¦
