I'm aware, I built such a system in 2015. Unfortunately my ex got it in the divorce.

That still doesn't tell us anything about OP's system.

Everyone is recommending games, but you haven't told us a thing about this gifted PC. It's important to know that prior to recommending anything, as a "custom gaming PC" could be an i7-4790k system from a decade ago.

What are the specs?

I've got a few of those!

A couple weeks or months would be better, that way they can't pretend that he lived just long enough to sign it over.

Serious question - what is the general opinion of older motorcycles in the country? Because I absolutely love my 1980 Honda XR500...

Hell yes! I use this for my ARGB stuff.

I'd love to live in Denmark, that's where most of my heritage comes from.

Nice. Appears mine is currently illuminated 😅

She's easily the kindest, most loving, empathetic, and supportive person I've ever met. And the best part is that when I finally told her my feelings (after we reconnected), they were reciprocated immediately, much to my shock and amazement haha.

Have you seen that hair though?

That's basically how my wife and I met. Except we were never exclusive because she was a really good friend and I didn't wanna fuck that up. We ended up going our separate ways when she went off to college... We reconnected platonically years later, and then realized we were both getting divorced at the same time. One thing led to another, and we've been married for almost 2 years now.

We joke that if we had been exclusive, we would have a 20 year old already.

 

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.
