- Trump is going to spend the rest of his day crying in the west wing and listening to Taylor Swift. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 09:51 1
  - Ha! -- nm - David Oct 2, 09:53
- He's certainly seeing the writing on the wall. He doesn't want to get impeached by Pelosi. That woman's scary! -- nm - Mop Oct 2, 09:51

Somebody else might care? Several cities are at war with FHWA regarding creatively painted crosswalks. -- (link) - Strongbad, Champ Champ Oct 2, 09:41 7
- We have a bunch of these, with different themes in different neighborhoods. Can't speak to the safety concerns, but they sure are fun. -- nm - psilotum Oct 2, 09:44 4
  - They're a lot of fun. And there are ways to vary from the standard and still comply without negatively impacting safety. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Oct 2, 09:45 3

  - I haven’t kept up to speed with any recent changes, but I thought there was an exception for an owner to be able to occupy a unit? -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 2, 09:54 1
    - Yeah, I believe it doesn't apply if buying a single unit but our rent laws are very difficult to understand so 🤷‍♂️ -- nm - Krusty Oct 2, 10:36

      - Not that rent can be reset, because it can't. He can't move in unless they vacate. He doesn't want to be a landlord, he wants to live there. -- nm - Krusty Oct 2, 10:40 1

- Yes. Since Congress's power to impeach is broad. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 09:17 1

    - Forget it Jack, it's crypto-world -- nm - Amoxy Oct 2, 09:13
- Crypto means cryptography. I think you mean to say cryptocurrency. (I know, I know. It's the bitcoiners who are wrong.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 09:00 3
  - no, I actually mean cryptography. I just read a 132 paper, I can't tell you from who or about what but it has cryptography and also CALCULUS - JackDawson Oct 2, 09:03 2

So, how standard are cpu heatsink mounting brackets? If I buy something that looks like the one I currently have, what are the chances it will fit? -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 2, 08:26 7
