I bought an iBuyPower prebuilt at Costco and have spent the last few months modifying and upgrading it.

I want to swap out the 60L fish tank with a smaller and more restrained case so that I don’t need to hide this thing behind the TV.

I’d also like to avoid buying a new motherboard, AIO, or PSU. I was thinking of a Jonsbo D41 Mesh, but I don’t know if there’s another option closer to the 30L range.

My components:

• 360mm AIO (for a 9800x3d)
• ATX motherboard
• 2-slot 300mm GPU (9070xt)
• ATX PSU
• 4 more 120mm fans

I’d pick up some new fans if needed.

What would y'all recommend? I don’t mind putting in the work for some horrifically cramped cable management.

Every time we get a new teacher transferring to our district from elsewhere, we hear horror stories about how none of their coworkers at their previous district would share their lessons plans, handouts, lab activities, etc.

I don’t know how I would have survived my first few years without veteran teachers in my department just handing over everything they had and telling me to go nuts. I’m now at a place where I make and share material my own material, and pass on the wisdom.

So why are some teachers so protective of their lessons?

Yes, I’m an amateur. But I’m also pretty tech savvy. I’m interested in creating mods for Half Sword but don’t know where to even start.

I’m interested in altering the spawn rates of certain items, and eventually importing new items from 3D models I can find online.

Are there any tutorials for this? Thanks guys!

I was looking for ways to challenge myself in progression mode and stumbled onto a simple rule change that is now my favorite way to play:

The Lootless Challenge: You cannot loot weapons or armor from any combatant, enemy or mercenary, even if the item is dropped during combat.

You can only acquire gear from the following places:

1. Purchased or crafted from the merchants.
2. Loot chests or weapons that spawn with the level.
3. Anything you can carry back from The Abyss.

Other rules:

• To prevent refresh spamming the merchant, you can only rest once per day (not counting sleeping at night).
• You can steal an enemy weapon to use during a fight, but cannot keep it.
• Optional

Here’s some stuff that took me way too long to figure out in EA. What took you too long to figure out?

Every day is comprised of 4 times: morning, day, evening, and night, which you can see at the top of the screen in the tavern. The time of day not only affects who is present in the tavern, but also the lighting in the levels. Time also moves forward after every couple of fights. So if you don’t like night fights, only take fights in the morning and day.

The slums level actually has a low-friction patch near the fence gap that causes you to slip. Stick to higher ground to avoid it.

Press space to do a jumping kick, but only if you’re locked on to an enemy.

If you can find the large cand

I work at a suburban school district with a rich history that recently had a large renovation and expansion done. While wandering the halls I stumbled into the school’s “archives.” I put it in quotes because it is actually a dumping ground of deteriorating cardboard boxes with documents and paraphernalia strewn about.

I can’t save everything, but I want to preserve the yearbooks at least, some of which date from the 1910s and in bad shape. Help me perform some triage to at least mitigate future deterioration. Specifically:

• Are there inexpensive acid-free archival envelopes I can use to hold the yearbooks? (Some of the oldest books are bound with card stock paper, roughly 8.5x11 in size)

On a whim I ran some numbers and teachers at the top of our pay scale have gotten 15% poorer in the past decade. It’s even rougher when we see that our contract for the next 3 years doesn’t even increase 2% per year. Rougher still when the police union negotiated a 4.5% increase year over year at the same time.

Is this just my district or are others feeling this as well?

I can’t help but feel guilty.

The student in question has a behavioral support IEP. Admin and learning support know that the student (and their mom) are a nightmare to deal with. But every time there is an outburst or accusation against me or they storm out of the room I can’t help but feel like I failed somehow.

Like I literally I caught them copying a lab report off of chatGPT and when I confronted them they stormed out of the room. The next day they stormed off again after receiving a failing grade for said lab, as if they were surprised. 5 min later the mom is emailing the whole admin team about how I have it out for her kid. This is not the first or even second time something like thi

I'm not sure what else to say, except that Twitter and it's management stands in opposition to all the goofy, stupid, inclusive fun this community represents. FEH is a little bit of escapism, and I'd like it to stay that way.

FEH has a BlueSky account. If there are some things that can't be avoided, like HoF voting, then I guess that link could be posted?

What are your thoughts?

Lawn darts were banned after leading to the deaths of 3 kids. Statistically, that many kids died by gun violence in the US in theblast 40 minutes.

It's stupid that we keep wringing our hands about what to do, when the answer is is obvious. Ban all private gun use.

If we need to, we can deputize an "anti-hog" militia to fight wild pigs, since that's suuuuuch a serious issue apparently. Perhaps keep gun ranges open, treat them like bowling alleys or laser tag where you can rent guns to use in a supervised space with limited ammo.

Otherwise we are just coddling a group of niche hobbyists at the expense of our safety. Who else gets that kind of treatment?

It's an inservice day and I've just been sitting here staring at my computer for 2 hours.

I've been a secondary science teacher at my district for a decade, and I like my district, generally. But they keep giving me new classes, at least 1 per year every year since I started. I have a core science class that I teach, but then they tack on a STEM class, or programming, or engineering, or geometry, or biology, or a different STEM class, or standardized test remediation, or personal finance, or anatomy, or algebra. This year it's forensics. I know nothing about forensics. I'm so tired. I have a new baby. I can't invest the energy in a new course that they will just take away next year, but I

So, a lot of people are about to have a lot of Rearmed Ophelia from AHR 2023. If you are new to the game, returning after a hiatus, or simply do not closely follow the meta, you may not be aware of Ophelia's true value. I assure you, she was not voted into AHR due to her combat prowess alone. (If you are aware of how Rearmed Hero skill duplication works, skip the next 2 paragraphs.)

Ophelia is a Rearmed Hero. This is a special class of hero with a unique ability called Arcane Inheritance: for one time only she can inherit her weapon and skills to another hero without being destroyed herself. This not only works for her native sk
