I have never gotten a flu shot as I know a sure fire way to cure it i.e. merely lie in bed and moan and grown and presto bingo in a day or a few it goes away

I've been fortunate in that for all the covid and flu jabs my only side effect has been slight tenderness where I was jabbed for the next day or so. By far the most painful part for me was removing the bandaid (along with several hairs) later. Since I don't bleed much from the jab I can get away with no bandaid just holding a cotton ball on it for about 30 seconds. Hooray for modern manufacturing techniques and thin needles.

I've never had a jab of any kind my whole life (78 years) because my mother didn't believe in it. Mind you, when I was young there was a slight risk from jabs themselves. Luckily I never got Flu or Covid, only measles and chicken-pox.

I got both jabs in my left arm - in case it fell off, I could still use my mouse - and had no problems until the next day when my arm was a bit sore and maybe, just maybe, I had slight flu-ish effects which lasted for half the day - then nothing!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Please explain the explanation
why is pimento recipe an anagram indicator? All it makes me think of is stuffed green olives...
|
|
|
|
|
It was Old = Ex then pimento. Recipe was the anagram indicator.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I don't trust youtube as a credible source, and I typically buy starter systems and build on them so I haven't applied that CPU thermal paste to a chip in at least a decade.
The thermal struggle is real with modern PCs and frankly, I trust the bright people here to know more than some rando on youtube.
Getting it wrong might mean cooking hundreds of dollars, so for any of you who do build your own PCs:
I used to apply thermal paste evenly with a credit card, and I'm hearing conflicting things about doing this - do it, don't do it? Nobody can seem to agree.
That suggests either way works, to me, but the cost of being wrong is too much for me to feel comfortable with that.
Anyone here a physics major?

Evenly does it. Cover the whole die. That's it.

Thanks. That's how I used to do it. I had just read somewhere that it was no bueno, but you know the Internet.

I know, the official site for all pharmacies of Italy managed to report as open a pharmacy that was closed and didn't even report the status of an actually open pharmacy 5 km away. Internet: I can know how many back end hairs some k-pop star has but reliable, accurate informations? That's too much.
Anyway, thermal paste is simply a heat conductor, you want heat to go away from the die to the heatsink / cold plate so an even surface gives the best transfer. Just take care near the borders to avoid spilling when you press the plate / sink on the die because the surplus paste may go in places it is not supposed to.
EDIT: for reliable PC building info Jay2Cents and GamerNexus are top quality. Jay2Cents has clickbaity titles but other than that he's honest and knowledgeable. I had to crash course myself back from my last build (2016) and he's been invaluable.

Thanks! That edit is very helpful since it means less bothering you fine people here. I can't help that the community here is pretty reliable. You all make me do this!
I usually just get starter systems and build on them, but I'm trying to max my single core performance, so I had to go full custom, especially given I'm mATX in a small cubelike form factor, and open air such that liquid isn't a good option.
I have to tread very carefully in general with this build. I've been measuring everything - clearances on my GPU, my CPU, RAM, heatsink, making sure it doesn't overlap the RAM, etc. And I have none of these parts yet, mind you. This is so I don't screw up my huge order, and they all work together.
Bless Noctua. They have heatsink cpu and chassis compatibility databases, and detailed specs. The only thing they don't have in the specs is the relative direction it's supposed to mount and the direction of the airflow but even then you can basically glean that from the marketing material. They've been a huge help, and that alone justifies the price of their gear, which I also hear is excellent in general.

I'm really concerned about keeping my i5-13600K cool on air. I doubt I'll overclock the core much if at all but I might tighten up the RAM timings. My RAM mobo and CPU can all handle it, in theory.
The issue is heat. My case is small, and there have been complaints about heat with this chassis, though I haven't experienced that myself.
Noctua makes the gold standard in air coolers for CPUs. Everybody else compares theirs to Noctua. Their fans are top shelf, and apparently their coolers are designed like the Germans would do it.

MSI is a good brand but I am not taking any chances with this machine. This cooler is most efficient one I could find that will fit in my case. The only way I'm getting better, AFAIK is going with liquid, which I can't do for reasons.

Yes, apply a thin even coat.

There are many school of thoughts.
some will put a pea size amount in the center and let the cooler spread it out when you screw it down; it works well for smaller CPU size.
other will put it in an X shape and let the cooler spread it out; maybe better for bigger cpu.
others will manually spread it out.
I'm on the X team (I've done it twice in my life,soooo ... )
