As stated in the "best answer" post at the very top, the OP of the last list stepped down from keeping the list updated. This required changing hands to someone else who was willing to keep it updated.

Happy Valentine's day all!  
 

Recorded this today on our walk.  
 
 
 

Yes! A dog thread.  Pretty sure there have been animal/pet threads before, but nice to see one just for dogs.  
 
These are our children, Moses & Olivia. They're pitbull american bulldog mixes and are about 1.5yrs old (born Aug 1st 2017). They're super-friendly and love to meet other people and dogs. Despite their body language (wagging tail and wiggling with joy), people will actually cross the street to avoid them, just because they "look scary". We had chihuahua's before these guys and they were actually vicious to strangers and would bite at your ankles, lol. These guys though, will just knock you over and lick you to death. Sad how they are perceived, but they also help keep unwanted people off our farm property.

He may have received a nasty surprise, had he actually drilled through the battery...  :blink:
 
I don't even know what to say to this... lol

Not at all. Where'd you get that idea from?

Funny this should come up... AMD powered HP laptops overheating...  
 
We have an HP Pavilion DV5 laptop (4-5 years old now) with an AMD Turion II P540 dual-core and Radeon HD 4250 GPU that recently started getting very hot (fan running at 100% while just streaming video). So I cracked it open to find a TON of dust and crap built up inside, basically blocking any possible air flow through the cooler. 
 
I cleaned all the dust out and removed the CPU/GPU cooler to find they had used a mountain of thermal past on the CPU and a thermal "pad" on the GPU from the factory.  <_<
 
Cleaned all that up, tossed the thermal pad away and applied some new arctic silver paste (a small dab, instead of a giant blob). Runs nice and cool again, but at least now I know why it was getting so hot and thermal throttling itself all the time. Couldn't believe how much dust and crud had built up in there over the years. I guess when you own 4 dogs it doesn't help. lol.
 
Considering I only paid about $450 for it brand new, it's actually still a decently spec'd laptop and performs reasonably well. Got lucky as this particular model has a 7200rpm HDD instead of the painfully slow 5400rpm HDD's that normally come with most laptops. Actually makes quite a difference.
