His women were smart, connected, and 40 years or older. Jensen Huang wasn’t paying 19 year old OnlyFans hoes for sex. He was having full blown textbook extramarital affairs. A sophisticated cheater 😭😭😭

【 パソコンのパーツ交換で全裸になる必要はあるのか？我々はその謎を追って（略） 】

昔の人は言いました。
「パソコンのパーツを交換するときは、まず服を脱ぎます」
そんな馬鹿な！？となりそうなもんですが、実はこれ静電気対策として考えられたネタなんです。

電子機器にとって静電気は大敵。
人体に静電気が溜まった状態でPC内部のパーツに触れると、放電によってパーツを故障させてしまう可能性があります。

特に化学繊維の服や何枚も重ね着した状態では、衣服同士の摩擦によって静電気が発生しやすくなります。

つまり
＿人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人＿
＞服を脱げば静電気の発生源を減らせる！＜
￣Y^Y^ Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y￣

だから全裸でパーツ交換を……
いやいや、さすがにそこまでする必要はありません（笑）

大切なのは、静電気を溜めないことと、パーツに触れる前に静電気を逃がすこと。

これからの季節は空気が乾燥し、セーターやフリースなどを着る機会も増えるため、静電気が発生しやすくなります。
パーツ交換の際はPCの電源を切り、電源ケーブルを抜いたうえで、適切に接地された金属部分に触れて静電気を逃がしましょう。

さらに、適切に接地した静電気防止リストストラップを使えば、作業中の再帯電対策にもなります。

ちなみに、静電気は「バチッ！」と感じなくても電子部品にダメージを与える場合があります。

せっかく購入した大切なPCパーツ。
静電気対策を忘れずに、安全に作業しましょう！

ところで皆さん……
昔、本当に全裸でPCを組み立てたことがある人、いらっしゃいますか？

Maybe that headline is a bit clickbaity but this part is important:

I'm gonna go ahead and be controversial and say I kinda hope they don't go all the way back to the original 1977 audio, but maybe that's just my nostalgia for the 1995 THX home release talking.

The point is, Lucas had made tons of changes even before the '97 Special Editions.

They screened the original print last year and some people hated it because of changes they didn't even realize Lucas had made. https://t.co/dxGFRnkjc0

@Benderxxx7 The ending’s sadder than the post makes it. The Falcons cut him before he ever played a regular-season game. Ten lost years, and he got one preseason.

[Bender @Benderxxx7]

At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.

One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.

She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.

The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.

He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.

His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.

He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.

Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.

In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.

It was her.

She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”

Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.

On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.

Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.

In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.

10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.

A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”

It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.

He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.

She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.

What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?

[Daniel Sims @RedSwirl]

Do we have any idea if whoever replaces him will still care about GeForce?
