I will not tolerate this vile and odious slander. Ratchet straps are far superior in most applications.

I play this game at least a couple times a week. It's an all-time favorite!

As a youth I went on a backpacking trip. At designated camping spots they had latrines that were open air boxes with a toilet seat on top. They came in three configurations:

• Solo, one seat
• Pilot-to-copilot, two seats, side by side
• Pilot-to-bombardier, two seats, back to back

It is objectively the best rendition. Fight me.

I think it's worth looking into before pointing a finger at any particular OS. If your troubleshooting requires you to install Windows, go for it. My gut feeling is that the memory requires more voltage but that's not based on anything but my own experience. Go through all the troubleshooting steps.

Not too different than on Windows. Stress tests, MemTest86, disable/enable XMP, double check voltage, update your BIOS. Check that your RAM is on the motherboard's qualified vendor list. It might be worth making a separate post about it.

If your memory is not stable you're always going to have weird problems. I would get to the bottom of that first before anything else.

What did the government do to cause that?

Aye. The Nvidia control center was cool when I installed it for my Ti 4600 in 2002 and not much has changed. I'm not particularly fond but the aesthetics of the Radeon software, but it beats the heck out of the semi-useless GeForce experience. I have to make an account just to see if there's a driver update available? I can't even control fan speeds in Windows without third party software?

They're both bad but in comparison Nvidia's offering is garbage.

This is an excellent video by a physicist about crackpots: https://youtu.be/11lPhMSulSU?si=ZGslcTKyp5Wxt1KE

More than that. You can depreciate the building (but not the land) to offset tax on the income but the bill eventually comes due because by depreciating it you're lowering your cost basis. For example you buy a property for $150k. If you depreciate it long enough it's worth $0. If you then sell it for $350k you have to pay tax on all $350k, not just the $200k gain in value.

However If you intend to use the proceeds from that sale to buy another investment property or properties you can do a 1031 exchange to roll your adjusted basis into the new property. Thus even when you sell it you don't have to pay the tax.

As you might, expect tax laws are written to benefit constituencies that politicians value highly. Wealthy donors are among those constituencies.

You'd think so. On another completely unrelated note, isn't it unusual that every unarmed minority who gets killed by the police in an egregious enough way to garner public outcry totally deserved it for committing various offences that bear no relation to the killing?
