I actually have a list somewhere of all these that I have come across and remembered to write down, sort of a game I play I guess. I haven’t tried to sit down and find all the possible examples of this (that’d be no fun), just stumble across them over time. Anyway the list is longer than you would expect, and now I have to add Invalid!

I feel like the whole “the jaws of justice are slowly closing around trump” comment is the narrative version of that looping gif of the truck almost running into the bollard. Academically, I agree with you. But I’m pretty sure the dude is going to be dead from one of the innumerable heath issues he faces before he sees any real consequence. Time will tell I guess, but like others, I’m not holding my breath. If there were any real justice in the world, trump would have died from Covid. That would have at least been poetic justice for his role in that colossal tragedy.

Actually, when I try to turn on the computer, the power supply sort of ‘chirps’ for a fraction of a second. It’s been doing this all along I think, but maybe all this can be explained by power supply?

Thanks! The monitor works with two other laptops I’ve tried (HDMI) and I’ve plugged the monitor into both the motherboard HDMI and the GPU HDMI and DisplayPort.

I tried using one dimm of ram in the correct slot (per manual). That initially didn’t work (same effect as before). I then reinstalled the second dimm and now the computer won’t start at all. The motherboard LEDs light up before I press power button, but upon pressing power button, the fans start to spin for a second and then they shut off.

Tried everything to correct this:

• reseated ram twice (it clicks)
• double checked all cable connections on motherboard and on power supply

I’m at a loss. It’s like every single thing could be broken simultaneously.

I’m using an air cooler, peerless assassin. Yeah, it’s hooked up, the fans spin.
