Minor note: considering MLO, WiFi 7 with 6Ghz/160 is definitely not equivalent to WiFi 6.

All these shitty manufacturers lie this way. They get away with it because the average consumer doesn’t know how to check.

Yeah those plastic ones are probably a quicker install too. The tempered glass in the photo is heavier than it looks.

All these boards are using the same be200 module. MSI marketing is likely using the windows driver delay affecting existing boards to imply that theirs, which will ship after the next update fixes the issue, is somehow “better” than the others.

Too nice for any N. American prison, unfortunately. This is just a bathroom reno.

Since they put the vinyl film on the glass after assembly (to avoid scratches) there’s an opportunity for this picture during every installation. Frosted matte translucent film is most popular.

Roth grows tax-free and has more long term flexibility compared to traditional IRA. The tradeoff is that it doesn’t reduce your taxes in the year you contribute. It’s the better option for most.

Thanks!

Depends on adhesive and era but today mostly yes

For some reason, some folks think they can make themselves look better by making everyone around them look worse.

And only because at some point they decided to stop hearing anyone who disagreed. It’s not just their kids who stop talking to them. Eventually everyone figures it out, and this type of person ends up pretty isolated later in life.

Social Darwinism disgusts me…

Same, but I picked this illustration for a reason.

Abusive parents often use essentialist language to keep their children bound with obligation and guilt. Vulnerability to that rhetoric tends to be associated with notions of “natural law,” so I suspect a natural metaphor has a better chance of resonating with those that need to hear it.

It wouldn’t occur to me to broadcast this to others on the internet, especially with personal details, even for a random solicitor, let alone a family member, let alone my own child.

And since the kid didn’t anticipate the public ridicule, it may very well be the first time they ever asked for this kind of help. What an awful way to learn your parent considers you little more than an expendable prop in their social life.

In nature, some species prey upon their young. We usually understand this as an evolutionary mechanism, to ensure only the strongest offspring survive. With that in mind, if your parent behaves like this, consider that they may no longer be your caregiver, and it may be time for you to decide what it takes to be the offspring that survives.
