it's not currently touching the metal, but it looks like both the motherboard and graphics card are just resting on those plastic tool hangers. you would at least want to have actual standoffs at each corner so it can't get bumped into a short circuit.

or just put a bunch of masking tape on the bottom i guess

I have standoffs screwed into the top half of the motherboard to prevent touching on the back side. Right now my biggest concern is an accidental cord yank toppling the motherboard forward. The red clip on top should prevent that but it’s a bit precarious.

Video card is plastic on the back so I’m not concerned about that one.

i think you live in the same general part of the city as me. do you get that weird bird that only sings at night (it is NOT a nightingale) and does like a tweeeeeeeee-twitwittwitwi sound? idk what they are but there are a bunch of those here.

also a family of blue jays and one stray tabby cat that walks through my patio one way at about 12pm and the other way at 4pm every day

You should feed it seeds and suet and such because birds are friends

if you put bird food out it may attract other birds which will intimidate lil fire alarm and make it move somewhere else


alternately you could take up falconry

the article isn't primarily about "number go up" though, at least not the stock market number. it's more about unemployment, and while i'm a fully out of touch computer programmer, i'm pretty sure "having a job that pays you" still affects most people positively

that’s true but I also recall the unemployment number being constantly fudged by governments so they could claim “things are getting better” while an increasing amount of people are not reflected in these numbers at all

also the word “debt” kept popping up in every other sentence. at this point who the gently caress cares? there’s an insane amount of work and capital needed for feeding and clothing and providing basic needs to at risk people but for some reason we should care about number?
