    Cash is only used by the poor or elderly

    Has any mentioned that cards are completely useless when the internet/banks are down? Cash is king and there's nothing better than pushing passed a queue of card peasants, to pay for your trolley of shopping with cash under such circumstances.

    Auros Elite X570 random reboots with XMP enabled

    Auros Elite with a 3600 and 2x8Gb of the Patriot Viper Steel DDR 4000 here. I've also had issue with this motherboard and random reboots and blue screen that appear to be RAM related. Indeed, this RAM is a replacement for Crucial Ballistix 3200 that also had issues. RAM is now running at 1.37 or...

    Aorus X570 Elite Pre order release date

    Yes, ordered the board and a 3600 on Monday, hoping it was going to be here this week to build it whilst I was on leave. Unfortunately, no sign of it yet. ☹️

    The EU Referendum: How Will You Vote? (May Poll)

    Seconded. That Russian statement shows our politicians to be a bunch of intellectually retarded school chlidren when it comes to making arguements. Or is that just a reflections of the general public?

    Should the government do more to help the steel industry or....

    Erm but more pits were closed under labour governments. Please don't let facts get in the way of a rant about Tories.

    Can You Solve 'The Hardest Logic Puzzle In The World'?

    Whilst I can understand the logic behind the dragon posted solution, does it not require the assumption that all the dragons see each other each day for it to work? I think I'm now back to the most logical solution is that NOTHING happens, as you have to make assumptions for the logical answer...

    11m! Just blowing in the wind.

    So why we've moved on to the topic of storage what about entropy? Keep changing energy from one form to another and it keeps getting less efficient. Just build enough nuclear/coal and gas plants to keep our base load 50 years and use that time to invest in some proper renewal sources that...

    Do radiators raise or lower room humidity?

    Sigh. It was correctly answered on page one. Relative humidity will decrease. A radiator will just add sensible heat to the room, water content of the air will stay the same (unless there is an open and ever present source of water next to the radiator but let's not complicate things). As the...

    Cyclist plague spreading

    Bikes with rim brakes don't even stop faster than a car in the dry (ones with disk brakes might but it may also involve a trip over the handlebars). Also you have to keep your wheels and balance under control when stopping sharply on a bike (+ unclipping to avoid the inevitable sideways fall...

    Rapist May have HIV From Victim

    Not so sure that this is to be laughed off as good karma: 1) He will no doubt now have many years of expensive drugs prescibed for him at tax payers expense if he is infected. HIV is not the death sentence it used to be, he does not have AIDS (which would have been karma). He is 27 years old...
