I hate LinkedIn so much. I logged into it for the first time in months the other day to see if it had got any better, and no. It's turned into Facebook.
My feed was full of some guy who'd got a hobby farming bees, a ton of meaningless anniversaries, and a wildly overshared post about a dead baby.

This morning I was trying to remember what films I had seen the late Ms Heche in and I came up with Psycho and something else with Harrison Ford.
Later on I killed some time by watching the last episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds.

But yes, his Uncle Roger act is mostly cheap lewd comments and the sort of complaints about foreigners making Asian food more to their liking (which is also apparently 90% of what Italy does if YouTube is to be believed*). I mainly watch to see him get angry when people really butcher the recipes.
I haven’t watched his standup but wouldn’t be surprised if it is mostly an Asian version of the “have you ever noticed how black people do X and white people do Y” stuff from the nineties.

A closed loop all-in-one cooler will be more than sufficient for any normal use case and if you're into competitive/hobbyist overclocking using modern components, you're going to need a liquid nitrogen/helium pot in order to get any kind of recognition from the other dweebs that do that shit.
Mind you, I know a handful of people that - with absolutely zero irony - have the baked in rainbow RGB LED cycle running on every single component and peripheral capable of displaying it from the moment they turn their PC on, until its switched off. Despite the fact that they're the only people witnessing the abomination for 99% of the time. So it's completely unsurprising that some of them also go through the relative expense of setting up a custom loop just because they think it looks awesome or gives them any kind of perceivable performance increase.

My PC runs pretty much 24/7 and I doubt I'd be able to sleep with all that going on. I prefer my computers to look like computers, not the inside of a 70s Turkish disco.
Hell, the only reason my PC has a window on the side is that it's almost impossible to find a good quality case without one.

My old case that I have had for years (and simply upgraded the components inside as i needed to) is big enough that the usual decent coolers I have work fine and there is decent airflow. I run GTA5 with everything up full with no issues and its not that noisy (and being as I use it for graphics and music production that's a good thing) No, you can keep all your fancy lighting and other wank I would rather spend the money on more memory or bigger SSD that piss it into the wind.

Now, years later, he seems to have rejected flat Earth ("Don't talk to me about that crap") but now believes that Hunter Biden should be locked up for all the crimes he did (but cannot actually name one of them), and that all the various cases against Trump are part of a witch hunt.

From the few minutes I could bear to put up with Professor Dave, I have to say that 'Flat Earth Dave' conducted himself in a significantly more professional manner. Especially considering how hostile the environment was.

take the orbit of the moon, a curved ellipse I hear you say? Wrong. Einstein showed that objects with mass curve spacetime, the very reality that they move through, so the moon is following a straight path, the shortest distance between two points, but the spacetime it moves through is curved by the planet. Likewise what you see as the curvature of the earth is merely a function of your tiny human brains not being able to conceive that they are in a falling inertial frame of reference of a curved spacetime paradigm, moping about the surface of your watery rock, what we label gravity. Ah, but I see a ship sinking below the horizon I hear you say. How do you explain that? And again, your petit bourgeois anthropocentrical egotism makes me want to vomit. Does a man in a river running on a spinning barrel follow a curved path? No, he stays on the same flat tangent. It is just the view of the ship relative to the observer that makes it seem to follow a curved path, and as Einstein said, "observers don't mean shit in relativity, homes". The ship is on the flat, the world moves beneath it relative to the ship. all motion is relative. The earth is flat. QED.

that the earth was getting bigger (less dense) and this was driving continental drift and other things. Despite it having almost nothing to commend it, it wasn't until around a decade ago where geodetic measurements were accurate enough to falsify it completely.

These 'Academics' spoonfeed Globeheads with information which is patently false and easily dismissable with only the most basic of critical thinking:
If the earth truly was a globe, then the curvature would mean that no matter where you stood, the apex of said curve would always be just ahead of you. Geodesists account for this imaginary 'curvature' in their trigonometry formulae when estimating the heights of mountains and other large natural features. After true height is calculated, these so-called professional (government funded, usually) Geodesists then skew the figure by accounting for their distance from the base of said feature, calculating the sea-level mid point, and adding extra elevation calculated by how much they claim the earth curves between these two points.
You theoretically could see Everest from San Francisco. However as its true empirical elevation stands at 437ft, line of sight is understandably obscured by a number of man-made structures.
Obviously, there are plenty of pictures of Everest which make it appear to be significantly taller than its true height, but this is simply an optical illusion/trick of perspective. Best example I can think of is if you've ever approached a reasonably long hill at the end of a straight stretch of road. As you approach the hill, the road can often appear almost vertical - at first glance the gradient appears so steep that it would be near impossible to drive/walk up. But as you continue, you realise that you're already on the hill and the incline is barely a fraction of how it first appeared. Same thing, basically.
