I discovered that I had grabbed lasanga instead of the scalloped potatoes I had intended, only too late today.

Trapped at work with the wrong lunch choice. Sad. (#firstworldproblems)

Thermal paste is relatively cheap, too.
Peanut butter is also an inexpensive alternative.

It doesn't work, but it's an inexpensive alternative.

No. Peanut butter would not work properly. The oil in peanuts is semi-drying (when exposed to iron at least, some sources say it is non-drying, but I have seen it lacquer.), and will turn into a lacquered goo-ball.  Nasty.


Since this system is from 2007, that is sufficient time for the stock "Thermal pad" that is normally installed in laptop systems to dry out into a crispy "potato chip" like flake, and to work just about as well as such.

Replace it with a quality thermal compound. While in there, clean the fans and the thermal pipe system with compressed air. It will run so much better afterward.

Yes, that's what he said. It was a joke.

Yes. I saw.  I was just clarifying why it would not work.

Sure. In future, it would probably raise the quality of discourse if you phrased your clarifications as clarifications instead of rebuttals, though.

Filling your socks with river water: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free!

No. It's not.

You have to travel to a river (which for many people in urban America, can be VERY far away) or have it delivered to you-- and it's difficult to arrange that. Even if you DO live near a river, unless you are already on the bank it takes time to get there. If you have to travel by car or by public transport, it isn't free either.

Not to mention the cost of cleaning the socks (and modern rivers contain some nasty pollutants) and the health risks of exposure to water of unknown quality.

On the plus side, (at least for many american rivers anyway)-- the water may actually taste BETTER after being collected in a used sock.

I trod in a brook two weeks ago, didn't think it was that deep where I put my foot. Nope'd out of that path and went around on the main road which thankfully hadn't been devoured by the local river at that point.

Oh, now you're just getting hung up on the sockwater microtransactions... Seriously, it's not even that big of a deal. Filling your socks with river water is a perfectly balanced and complete experience even without paying for premium services.

The intention is to provide hikers with a sense of pride and accomplishment when they are able to rehydrate without risking diarrhoea

And it potentially imparts a superior flavor! (depending on the river)
