Question Test PSU for Failures Inside Windows?

Depending on geographical location and availability you can take your rig to friends house plug up another psu. Then do a stress test. If you are in Miami, FL; dm me, I can give you a tester that you can keep (it works but past it’s useful life)

Baby Dolphin Dies After Tourists Pass It Around For Selfies

I have no sympathy for the people that did this, it was really stupid. However, there are some questions that I am curious about. 1. How long was the dolphin out of the water (the video cuts off) 2. Was the dolphin sick, it's rare for a baby to be alone/I believe that hen dolphins get sick...

who is wrenching today?

Replaced rear drum brake on girlfriends Corolla yesterday, about 1000 miles shy of 150k, they were making a little bit of noise and thought it was time. Replaced: Drums, shoes, cylinder, and springs. I don't have pictures of the finished job as it got late, and I was in a hurry.

Talk me out of a 6MT Chevy SS

Personally I don't like Chevy but I get the SS, I would only consider buying one once it has depreciated a bit.

2016 Civic EX-T faster than 2015 Civic Si

Si Owner here, yes i am offended and blah blah (not really). I drive an 08 2 door Si, basically stock, mainly I just like to drive and like the feel of a manual. I am glad to see Honda making some wise decisions it feels like it has been forever since they have been competitive.

Lower Winter MPG

Overall I believe that since cold air is more dense the engine naturally makes more power and a richer fuel mixture is required.

Have you ever damaged a CPU from overclocking

A long time ago when i was unexperienced I had an unstable Athlon XP 2100 +. I noticed that higher voltages made it stable, after running at ??? voltage for about a year it fried. I also had an e6300 that i oc'd to 3.2 GHz, after about 2 years max over clock at the same voltage was 3.0 GHz.

Malaysia Airlines plane crashes in South China Sea with 239 people aboard

I know that plane crashes sometimes get too much attention when there are more important matters, but this incident however is very odd.

Malaysia Airlines plane crashes in South China Sea with 239 people aboard

I believe that if the aircraft flies low enough, it's less susceptible to being detected by radar. I do want to emphasize that my post is not to be taken extremely seriously, it's just a thought or a possibility IMO.

Malaysia Airlines plane crashes in South China Sea with 239 people aboard

I would not say that "it's entirely possible", that the plane is sitting somewhere. But it is possible, a hard desert surface could do it, maybe someone has made a runway somewhere..... The 777 is no joke, it can fly for a long time and deliver a large payload, it would make one heck of a...

A little humor: what a conference call would look like in real life

Spot on, I agree with the above posts about killing productivity. Working on big projects and having two or three of these is really frustrating. I have forwarded this to some of the souls that are stuck on these calls with me.
