Dang! Best of luck getting it sorted. You might be able to return he mobo as defective if it was nothing you did to cause it.

So, did you find the problem? :)

If there isn't a single hint of life it does sound like PSU. If something is defective and going to die, then it's liable to do it sooner rather than later, brand new or not. Unlikely from Seasonic but these things happen.

Could be motherboard. Could also be something silly like the front panel header for the power switch came off!

Not applicable if you are US, but if you are in a country that has individually fused plugs, like the UK, then check the fuse in the power cable or use a different one.

Good luck!

I also got "Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines" but now I'm not certain it isn't just image compression artifacts.

So, Calyx or Graphene to ensure this AI garbage can be disabled, I suppose.

There's no confusion. People like this just don't think a homeless person deserves anything.

I imagine they take it as an affront, that a homeless man could have the "gall" to take charity from them, while he has a phone "hidden" in his pocket, as if that means he's a con-man, and not really in need at all.

In their mind, if a homeless man owns a phone, then he can't be genuinely destitute. If he was then he should sell that phone to afford his next meal, instead of begging on the street.

Never mind that a phone is probably the single most important tool to in modern life to stay informed and connected, not to mention and entertained and sane.

Never mind that a phone could be the difference between staying homeless for ever, or finding work.

No - if you are homeless then you certainly aren't allowed to own any tools that would help you get out of it.

This is great, honestly.

If you go back to antiquity, education was about philosophy. It was about learning how to observe, and think critically, and see the world for what it is.

And then in modern times, education became about memorisation - learning facts and figures and how to do this and that. And that way of teaching and learning just doesn't fit any longer with what our digital age has become.

In my opinion, we are heavily overdue for a revamp of what education should be, and what skills are most important to society in this post-truth world. Critical thinking is an important foundation to real knowledge that we don't teach enough.

For you, maybe it was.

The point of good presentation and design cues is that they can make information instantly clear to almost everyone, no matter if their brain is the size of TON 618, or not.

The problem is the layout.

It needs horizontal dividing lines to show that the bodies are presented in pairs at the same scale.

When you first look at it, it seems like all six are in one picture at the same scale, then you start noticing things appearing twice, and think "hang on that's not right" and work it out, but just two lines would have solved it immediately.

Design, people! Design!

Yes, it was a bad decision all around.

If they had committed to it being 18 rated, it would likely have been much better and more enjoyable as a movie.

I'm not saying they made the right decision, I'm only saying that I understand the chain of thought going through some executive's head that lead to this decision being made and the end product we now have.

The entire problem is that movies are often made with the primary intention to make money, rather than being made to be the best possible movie they can be, and that can be a huge hindrance to the final product.
