Why? You're an average looking dude that has a good job and a house. You should try at least. Maybe they weren't so hot on you in grade school but older women are looking for stability and nice guys. They've been screwed over by the bad boy that does nothing but live at mom's and play Xbox all day. At this point you're being alone is a choice made from mostly crap floating in your own head.

Nah it's not that I can't, just not really interested. Happy to be single. Simpler life tbh.

I figured that urge would hit at some point, but just never did.

Ethereum blockchain sync progressing... been a few weeks now. Once it's done I'll finally have access to my mining earnings lol. Probably should have just done a web wallet.

Got an error message that said my IP was banned. Turned off the VPN. Turned back on the VPN. Got another IP addy. Business as usual.

You're kidding, right?

I'm Christian. No sex before marriage... and tbh I fully agree with that rule. Wayyyyyy less life problems that way. No oopsies or custody situations or all of the issues that come with accidental pregnancies. Protection is not 100%.

And TBH, I don't really have any kind of urge. Like, I'm totally fine with it and it does not bother me at all. Suppose I always had the mindset of waiting till marriage and it just got engraved in my head. But then I'm not really interested in marriage either. I figured maybe eventually that urge would come but I'm just happy to be single. I don't think my family approves though, they always hint at it. :p

Suppose it's overkill and a waste of potential mining time to paint this, but suppose I'd make it look half decent. Primer is on. Figured if I'm going to do it may as well do the whole thing. The paint may also give it a very basic fire rating vs bare wood. Though I'm not really sure how big a difference it makes, I'd have to test that some day actually.







Probably should have not bothered with a back panel given how much I had to butcher it anyway lol. Originally I was not going to have the PSUs face the back directly, but figured it's the easiest way vs routing electrical to an inlet and having to make a hole anyway. Before I put this into service I'll measure out everything so I can produce a repeatable blueprint as I kind of like this design even for future projects that require a custom rackmount case.

Only thing I'd do different is paint the cross bars ahead of time before installing them because it was kind of a pain painting around that.

The cards will sit in the front on top of the last bar, and there's another bar at the middle that the risers will sit on. I prefitted a card to make sure it fits.
