This would be a great option for retro builds.
They should design it to be AT motherboard compatible at the same time!

  The Poetics of Textiles
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 23-11-2024, 01:07 PM - Forum: Movies & TV - No Replies

On youtube. It's an address by Tim McLaughlin accompanied by photos, video, images, and all kinds of stuff. And it is so good.

Worth book marking for one of those rainy afternoons when you need something that is both educational and beautiful.

  Govt downgrades food security & housing

Surely even their most loyal supporters will balk at this? Sad Dodgy Angry


This really is blatant poor bashing. How long before we're seeing shanty towns on the edges of cities? How long before the first person - likely a child,  dies of starvation?

They're making it more difficult for people to access  benefits; what do they think those people are going to do, if they become desperate enough?

  Dead Mobile

My Galaxy A30 has gone belly up.
Started making a humming noise.
Nothing showing on the screen.
None of the buttons would do anything.
Held the power button on to make it stop.
Now it's quite dead.
Time for a new one?

  Putin says Ukraine war is going global

Putin says Ukraine war is going global

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/put...024-11-21/

{"The use by the enemy of such weapons is not able to change the course of the military actions in the zone of the special military operation," Putin said.
"We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities," Putin said. "If anyone else doubts this, then they are wrong - there will always be a response."}

Russia fired medium-range hypersonic missile and that missile was also 'M.I.R.V.ed'

Before Joan Didion Had John Gregory Dunne, There Was Noel Parmentel Jr.—A First and Searing Love

https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/j...first-love

I am trying to find a free copy of her book "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" so we can all read it, has anyone read it already?

Why should I read Slouching Towards Bethlehem?
Slouching Towards Bethlehem isn't just a collection for hopeful writers or even for people who are young and unmoored. It's for all people who have lost their sense of place or sense of time or sense of self. It's for “the quiet ones” that people always tell you to beware.5 Apr 2013
