There's no risk for a factory condition unit. This rumor started after people with units that had been dissasembled and reassembled had issues with vertical orientation. It turned out that it's very easy to mess up the seals that keep the liquid metal thermal interface in place. So units that had been previously taken apart had liquid metal slowly leak, causing overheating and/or shorting.

If you haven't taken the cooler off the mainboard, using the vertical stand is just fine. I haven't seen any evidence of factory assembled units suffering leaking. It does imply that user servicing of ps5's is a bit risky, and you might need to be wary of used units where you don't necessarily know the service history.

To avoid unnecessary confusion, taking the covers off to add an m.2 ssd does not add any risk.

I can't claim to have much experience in the matter, but I don't think people who just chill generally have chariots fitted with iron. Like if your neighbor happened to have a tank and a bunker, would you say they're just chilling?

I can't launch minecraft without first opening the microsoft app store signing out, then signing back in.

Well a hearty well done to everyone involved. And thank you for showing it to us. It is refreshing to see examples of people building up their community when the majority of news focuses on negative events.

Do you want some discouragement?

Stainless steel is stains less not rusts never. You would need additional measures to keep the stand from degrading over thousands of years. Your local archeology department could give you some pointers on how to accomplish that.

Or maybe you design the stand in such a way that the tungsten object is held firmly, but still easily visible in rusty stainless jaws.

How many people did it take to get this done? It looks fantastic for something that is just getting started.

Meloxicam has been a major help in managing my back pain. It's not recommended to take it regularly since it can cause digestive ulcers like high doses of ibuprofen. But I get bad flare ups with travel and meloxicam is very effective at helping me avoid a flare up.

It might be worth asking your doctor about if they haven't had you try it before.

I notice changes in sensory processing first. Reading becomes difficult and my eyes lose focus easily/take a long time to focus. I also notice a difference in my thought patterns. My thoughts start to kind of skip around. It becomes hard to concentrate on any single thing, but not in a distracted kind of way. I very much realize that this description is vague and probably doesn't make sense unless you experience similar migraines. I do also experience visual auras, but those aren't apparent until the migraine is about to become very painful.

A full blown migraine manifests as sensory processing mapping to pain. Light and sound are unbearable even in relatively moderate amounts. One of the worst migraines I had led to the pressure of my head on the pillow making every hair follicle feel like a a needle poking my scalp. You don't realize how much your brain autonomously filters out tons of sensory input to keep your focus on a very small slice of interest until the filters break down and let everything through.

Over the counter pain pills do nothing for my migraines. Sensory deprivation and sleep are the only things that can actually stop a migraine for me. I have blackout blinds, a well fitting eye mask, and foam earplugs ready to go. Early detection is very important. If I act as soon as I notice the warning signs, I can usually avoid a full blown migriane. A large glass of water + darkness and silence will usually have me back up in less than an hour. If a migraine gets to the point of pain, I will need sleep to get rid of it and will still feel rather off afterwards. Also falling asleep with a brutal migraine is no easy feat. A catch-22 so to say.

Yup. I rode deadline panick all the way through to a degree and now it feels like adrenaline just doesn't work right anymore.

Well my goal is more of a "get out" than "get ahead." But maybe that attitude is why I'm not more of a winner.

Dang, guess I should have invested mine like you instead of putting it toward student loans.
