Blower fans are better if you want a bunch of cards in one system. Open air coolers dump too much of the hot air back into the case and are usually thicker. For non-gaming loads it's frequently better to have more cards at less than max speed.

It solves a stagnant demand for vending machines and gives a made up growth path for him to take to their investors.

This sounds terrible. If I can't pick up a product and look at the packaging for specs or ingredients before deciding which item to pick, why wouldn't I buy online instead? This is a great way for retail to finally cut one of their last benefits.

Hydrogen has about half the density of helium. The fire risk is notoriously unpopular, however.

Wide-spread adoption of airships would almost certainly have to use hydrogen.

Random guess is this is from back when cars had cigarette lighters and someone dropped it on the passenger seat.

Some password managers support generating random passphrases like "correctbatteryhorsestaple." They're still a pain to punch in on a remote, but much easier to keep track of where you are in the password and avoid transcription errors.

It worked for me. My wife and I met in a student group in college. Although, that wasn't my motivation for joining the group.

I could definitely see this strategy being more viable in a college setting where everyone is meeting new people and forming new friendships than in general sports clubs etc.

It's the spices frequently used to flavor pumpkin pie. The primary spice should be cinnamon.

That's how we ended up with Lord of the Rings.

Walmart is a last resort option. For example, my last purchase was an unusual size bicycle inner tube. I physically went to two other stores before ordering from walmart. I have no love for walmart, but Amazon poses the larger monopolistic threat. The damage amazon is capable of inflicting is only just beginning.

Amazon's marketshare with aws scares me more than their retail presence. They will definitely use that market dominance to the detriment of society.

Between home depot, target, best buy, and walmart I can typically find most things I'm looking for.

I usually try to shop by reviewers first and check if the manufacturer sells directly. Retailers don't need to get a chunk of every purchase.
