Poop spelled backwards is poop.

I'm mindful of the old phrase about having "smoke blown up" one's ass. If the oxygenation hypothesis was true, I'd expect that someone who had eaten chili con carne's breath would smell like...uh, never mind.

Half the Trump supporters already talk through their arses. It isn't that much of a stretch to breath from there also I wouldn't have thought .

I either give too many fucks about something, or I don't give any fucks at all. I can't seem to find a middle ground for equitable give-a-fuck distribution.

Do you give too many or too few fucks about that?

Adata said in the release that its XPG SX8200 Pro Gen3 x4, SX8100 Gen3 x4, and GAMMIX S50 Lite Gen4 x4 SSDs as well as its DDR4-3200 and XPG GAMMIX D45 3600 32GB modules “have been tested for Chia mining by ADATA engineers on the latest Intel Z590 and AMD X570 platforms to guarantee seamless performance.”

We reported yesterday that Adata’s SSD and DRAM orders increased 500% month-over-month in April due to the Chia boom because the cryptocurrency, which has been pitched as a more environmentally friendly alternative to Bitcoin, prizes storage and memory performance over sheer computational power.

“While the sudden increase in SSD demand is quite unexpected,” Adata president Shalley Chen said, “we are not at all surprised that Chia miners are turning to our high-capacity storage products for their unique needs. At ADATA, we have always been focused on developing and offering high-quality, high-performance, and high-capacity devices to meet the needs of discerning users, whether they be PC enthusiasts, gamers, creators, or crypto miners."

With the rise of Chia, PC builders have to worry about sourcing yet another part because of cryptocurrency. At this point, we’ll be lucky if mining doesn’t make its way to headsets, keyboards, and mice.

Phison said earlier this week that SSD prices would rise because the cryptocurrency’s boom has coincided with supply issues. We’ve known Chia’s likely to have an outsized influence on the storage market for weeks, especially since farming can quickly wear out some drives.

Until the price of Chia falls, however, that’s unlikely to dissuade miners. CoinGecko said the cryptocurrency’s value had risen nearly 50% over the last week, and it doesn’t show any signs of dropping soon. It makes sense for miners to buy as many drives as possible to maximize their potential profits in the short term.

So I was gonna post some Metal releated gay news in the "That Gay Thread" Only to find out that the sterotype of our community being homophobic/transphobic/racist is being promoted by news media. I wish they would actually do their research, go out into the feild and interview people before they make assumptions. Hell actually listen to a metal song or two.

Now are there homophobic/transphobic/racist that like metal, sure, but they are not the majority and the whole community and culture shouldn't be judged on them. Not to mention the fact that those type of people exists in all communities and cultures.

I have been a metalhead and part of the community for almost 10 years. I am east indian and openly gay and the Metal community has been the most accepting community in my experiance. There are tons of metal songs that I listen to becuase I can relate to them, it's like they know the hardships I'm going through, as if the songs are about me. And while this may be anecdotal evidence, metal has always been about the black sheep, the outcast, the unaccepted, the reality of the world in all it's darkness. It has always fought against authority and social norms and was always accepting of people no matter the race, gender or sexual orientation.

I’m not sure. Therein lies the dilemma.
