  • I can tell you that they wouldn’t have included it if it didn’t serve a purpose. However, that purpose might be for a feature you don’t use, or possibly even one that doesn’t exist for your board (e.g. if there’s a similar model with features added/removed, they may simply leave components off the lesser SKUs. For instance, you sometimes see solder points for 4 RAM slots, when only 2 are installed)

    While I’m a fan of using things until they truly break, you have to consider what this could mean. If they are for voltage regulation, you could end up with rich, chunky volts to your CPU, RAM, GPU, etc.

    If they are for thermal cutoff, things could melt or even catch fire. It might even happen when you aren’t home.

    And if they are for RGB controls, you could end up with no lights, and that would just be too boring to accept. (/s)



  • Your mistake is thinking these are particularly special. The only thing noteworthy is that one particular design caught on.

    Anyone can make a sticker, or a T-shirt, or a shot glass. If your favorite YouTuber sells it as merch, it’s easy to get. You can get an order made of (nearly) whatever design you want, and pretty cheap. There might be a minimum order size (say 1000 stickers), but otherwise the only requirement is an image.

    In fact, if you Google for “Trump Putin sticker”, you’ll find a number on Etsy that seem to fit your desire.


  • You’re both right. It’s important to note that this classification only applies to botany. Botanically, it’s a fruit. Just like a peanut is botanically a bean.

    Culinarally, tomatoes are a vegetable.

    And for the purposes of tariffs, taxes, and customs, according to Nix v Hedden, it’s a vegetable.

    There are many ways to classify an item. This just happens to cross boundaries depending on context.


  • There’s almost some truth to it. Certain foods, like salts and carbs, in certain situations, like low salt/carb diets, can have a ripple effect. 100g of carbs, or a few grams of salt, can cause your body to retain water. The effect being that you gained several pounds from eating just a few (hundred) grams of certain foods.

    However, for your body to retain that water, you must also consume said water.



  • If you have chronic back pain (not temporary, and not linked to an activity), you need to see a doctor first.

    No, really. See a doctor. Because ALL of the exercises you see can seriously injure you, even permanently, depending on your exact condition. What works miracles for someone else may work backwards for you. Even if they have a similar condition, or it’s in a similar group (e g. Core strengthening)

    And above all else, listen to your body. If it hurts, stop doing it.
