Screwing around with an all-in-one. This thing has a Pentium J3710, and it's the lowest-power chip I've ever seen. It idles at 1.5 watts, and with Prime95, it goes up to... 3.7W at 2.4 GHz. Talk about power-efficient. It's just a rebranded Atom at this rate. The cooling on it is total dogshit; I bet you, the cooler's just a sheet of copper on top of the CPU die, and there's not even thermal paste between them.

I just keep observing pete really, really likes to play as the villian whenever we play games. His favorite is playing as Romeo, and I am Robot and we capture the PJ Masks... really dunno if this is normal. It is amusing but somehow I worry if I'm raising a supervillian... how is that career prospect? Do they make more than doctors? How many supervillians have had loving parents?

Just make sure he's the fun kind and not the capitalist or fascist kind.

[LordBaal]

Oh dont worry. I'll make sure he sticks to plans like stealing the piramids, the moon or making a bomb that makes people naked or something.

Instead of looking fo a large fridge box to move out we should look for a volcano or something?

Just make sure he does not stab himself after his crush pretends to poison himself. (I know no other Romeo).
Traditionally, successful supervillains make enough to have supervillain lairs built for themselves. But they have to deal with meddling superheroes constantly destroying said lairs, which most doctors do not (unless they are also supervillains).
Just make sure he reads the Evil Overlord list.

The Romeo being referenced is a villain mad scientist little kid from the kids show PJ Masks, about a trio of kid superheros who mostly do adventures after dark to stop a bunch of supervillains who are also children while all the adults are asleep, mind controlled or otherwise indisposed and unaware. My nephew used to love the show. Personally I found it more tolerable than Peppa Pig or that show with the CG talking puppies, but when you're tired of being bashed with playmobil any alternative starts to look good.

My nephew's favorite character was the gecko themed hero as I recall. Got 'beaten up' by him more than once while he quoted the show.

[LordBaal]

That one! He do likes the heroes and play as them too, catboy being his favorite, but more than anything he loves playing impersonating Romeo, pictured here:

He does the evil laugh and all.

And this would be me if anyone wonders:

Okay, to continue on my previous topic, so the girl I was talking about is very smart, sweet, cute, and pretty to an astonishing degree. Why is she so pretty. Genuine wtf. So a concern is I'm worried future relationships would feel like settling.

Also to be clear I don't spend all my time thinking about her. Just recently some of my posts on the forum have been about her.

[LordBaal]

Oh yoy rascal!

Buy how are things going?

[bloop_bleep]

Oh me? Generally alright I guess. Been doing contests and working on an application. It was my first year in a while doing F=ma and from what I've heard from others I think I stand a decent chance of getting to the national level. AMC 10 results aren't back... my quiz bowl team won a competition recently. Been doing stuff with an FPGA. Joined a discord server with classmates just for chatting and they seem to have an opinion that I'm somewhat weird but they don't seem to be avoidant or resentful of me and they give me compliments too so I guess they mean in an endearing way? The girl's there too. The woiks.

It might make sense for me to talk with a friend about this but I'm just not used to that. Being emotionally open somewhere without anonymity feels unusual to me. Stuff that's more than light talk is stuff I usually don't say to my friends.

[Vector]

Mm, you'll need to practice a little, but being capable of discussing your deeper feelings is a very good quality for future romantic relationships. And your friends might know more of what's going on, too.

[Frumple]

... damnit, this discussion has me vaguely remembering something I can't remember from where, like some sort of stand up comedy equivalent of a lyric snippet or somethin'.

Dat's the hooch talkin', you done gone blind!

This is going to bother me, now
