Neko said people can do rerolls. Each person should confirm whether they got in touch with their partner to confirm who does and doesn't need a reroll so not everyone is mixed it.

Question for a dumb person: I opened up my desktop to clean it out with compressed air. I popped out the cpu fan and sprayed it off, and then put it back in. The fan has four plastic pegs that fix it in place, and each peg has two plastic pins that click it in. One of the pins on one of the pegs snapped off when trying to put it back, but it's otherwise firmly in place. I didn't touch the thermal paste between the fan and the CPU. So I turn the PC back on and the fan kicks into high gear, with a warning message that the CPU temp is fluctuating between 90 and 100 degrees celsius (the air blowing out is completely cool). What am I supposed to do here? Does it know the plastic pin is missing or does it need thermal paste or should I quit trying to enjoy life in any capacity?

according to neko's randomizer, your partner is empressangel

neko got back before me so she is still da bawss so go to her if you need rerolls or anything because I absolve myself of any temporary responsibility.

I just haven't really gotten the urge to play real pokemon games since shuffle and GO came out. I enjoyed X (probably because I skipped BW2 and created a buffer), OR was kinda going through the motions, and Sun was definitely going through the motions (hadn't even bothered with any post-game content). Shield is good enough too, but I probably got about halfway through and just haven't gotten around to going back.

are they cuteAF?

I'm assuming Quackers isn't actually participating (because he never said he was), so I subbed in UWP. I will give neko a chance to pop back in and for anyone else to join in the interim, otherwise I'll do a reroll later tonight just so y'all can get started with actual partners. We cool?

happy quackerjack day you birthy chuckleduck

I reached out to neko to clarify

Happy katt day!

like, do they really expect me to eat this burrito?

like an achievement, because "hard mode" ... you know what, I think I'm off in my own mental plane right now

They are halfway through a game of Pummel Party (it's like an off-brand Mario Party). I'm predisposed with real life so I'm not actually on tonight, either Vamped or someone else gotta follow up here if it's on the agenda or you can pop into the discord text chat or whatever to ask (https://discord.gg/eu3rvT2). Alternatively if you want hard mode, ramo is hangin out in the voice chat and streaming his own solo game with the conversation in the background, but there's no cheeve for keeping up that way.

Haaaappppppy birthday! I hope pedro gets you something niceeee

Jackbox was the game du jour tonight. Usually Among Us happens on Saturday nights.

maybe he has a thing for nuns

all I want for Christmas is hitdogs

Expect a push for labelling, like the push to prevent products like soy milk from using the name "milk"

There is certainly no consumer demand for pink slime, if you recall when that was a big thing in the news a decade ago. But if producers are geared towards efficiently getting every last fleck of chicken or beef or whatever and masking it in cheap, formless food, it either comes down to a cost factor for production (and finding an alternative use for the remnants product) or competition against a superior product made with synthetic meat. My thoughts though are all predicated on the near-term continued slaughter for other "formed" meat products because my presumption is that a cut of steak is harder to replicate than ground beef.

It's something that could very easily replace formless/ground meat products as long as taste and texture are consistent. Though my question, because I don't really know the process, is how much of those products are made with the "leftovers" on carcasses? Thinking along the lines of McNuggets and pink slime. Because if those products are made with leftovers with have no other use and they need to slaughter for other purposes (like steaks or wings or whatever), my second thought is maybe there won't be as much financial incentive for existing producers to transition.

can't sleep, my Monday is ruined

Luuv didn't want to be associated, but then when I took over there wasn't much of a paper plan to follow in that regard so I reverted to it primarily being the ASMB community. But fair point nonetheless.

hi nothingfac3

I thought about trying to bridge that, but I'm not even sure if that crew has the patience for the old school format.
