I'm kind of sad that I've not yet seen anyone trying to do tactical mouse battery reloads, like they were gun magazines or something.

How often do you use your PC speakers?

Very rarely most of the time. But that's mostly because I got my speakers when I was still living with my parents, so they were shit. I spent more money on the headphones, because it's less likely to annoy people. Now I've moved out. Partly I just got used to wearing headphones, partly my speakers are much, much worse than my headphones, and partly I live in an apartment and don't want to annoy my neighbours. When I get a proper house (IF I get one) I'll certainly look into a better audio set up. Right now, it's mostly just if I'm not actually at the computer, but still need to hear it. That's mostly if I'm listening to a stream while cleaning. On the few times I'm listening to music, it'll be through my phone (into my wireless headphones).

ULPT a person has been calling me for the last several days leaving no message. Today I answered…

Confused about "High End Motherboards" what makes them better / more expensive?

So, for the vast majority of users (including I'd everyone up to the highest end of power users), the differences outside of 'more slots' is generally going to be irrelevant? Not trying to say that they aren't different, or it's not answering what OP wanted (the opposite, actually), but I've built a few PCs in the past, and the motherboard is always where I've kind of just 'whiffed' it, having no real idea as to what makes a good motherboard over a bad one, and if (for the most part) it is pretty much just the total number of (and I guess type of) slots (outside of general trustworthiness of manufacturers) I could rest a little easier knowing that I've not just got lucky however many times in a row. :P

Ainsley Harriot's child went to my primary school for a period of time/was in my class for a period of time. This was many years ago. I don't recall them being in my class for the entirety of my primary school class. They aren't on a cup that I have of our portraits that we all drew of ourselves in year 5. I know that we did go to a swimming class together though, so it is quite possible that it was just that thing. Also fairly believable as Ainsley Harriot lived not too far from where my parents did, which wasn't far from the primary school either.

ULPT: Ended a short fling with a guy and he kicked my dog as he was walking out the door. I have his CC saved in my phone from booking a reservation we made. How can I use it to buy some nice things for my dog without getting in trouble?

Does anyone else run their computers completely stock? No overclocking whatsoever?

Whats your biggest regret when building a PC?

When I've fully built it, fixed any problems that may have occurred, and it works, and realise that it'll be a little bit before I need to tinker with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it works, but I enjoy the entire process. Like this PC - I bought a 1080ti when it was announced, and the same GPU is still going strong. Sure, it's very clearly starting to show its age now, but still. Seven years? That's an insane return. I'm kind of regretting needing to change it, as I doubt that another card would last quite as long (either in terms of relevance, or endurance)

ULPT: if you’re a server or bartender, use gift cards to pay cash tabs for more money.

How about if you tipped a colleague/friend instead, and they gave you the money after work? Of course the more people you involve in things like this, the harder it is to keep it on the down-low, but...
