A common misconception about WD-40 is that it is a lubricant. It is NOT.
It is a solvent. Solvents evaporate leaving no lubrication behind.
That is a popular myth, but false. While there is a very substantial component of volatiles, there are also non-volatile components, including ones with lubrication properties.
I beg to differ about what you call a lubricant. You certainly will destroy any bearing surface that you only "lubricate" with WD-40. Even on a low movement surface that only rotates at 1 rpm, you will destroy the bearing using only WD-40. Ask me how I know? I completed pitted the bearing surface from "warting" because I was using WD-40 on a rolling surface.
Spray any surface with WD-40 and come back the next day and wipe your finger across it. Does it feel oily or greasy? Nope. It does not.
The fact is it lubricates. Many folk use it for bicycle chains, squeaky door hinges etc. It lubricates no matter what silly things you've read. And it doesn't get everywhere like oil.
It's the reason people buy it! It's what it's for!!

"THE MULTI PURPOSE SPRAY WITH 2000+ USES
Over 2,000 uses, so it is a household essential that you can use for a whole manner of things. Easy-to-use, the unique formula dries quickly and leaves a thin, clear coating when you want to protect or ****lubricate**** a surface. WD‑40 Multi-Use Spray works just as well when you want to clean away stubborn residue too."

I could list a dozen articles and opinions of just the opposite position. WD-40 was developed as a "Water Displacement" product. Formula #40. Its sole original purpose. Never was formulated to be a lubricant. It is most often used as a solvent or cleaner for cleaning those dirty bike chains you mention.
But the bicycle manufacturers don't recommend just using WD-40 or any cleaner as a lubricant. Chains need a proper high viscosity lubricant that stays put and does not fling off under action after the degreasing with WD-40.
Well, I stated my well researched opinion and you can just continue to be the marketing mouthpiece for the WD-40 company. I'm done with this conversation.
You think the WD-40 company are liars, that really takes the biscuit.
The fact is I've always used it on my bicycle chain, and it lubricates it. I've always used it on squeaky door hinges, and they operate smoothly afterwards. Most of the world uses it this way.
Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant.
Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal.
Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product should not be used on bike chains.
Fact: While WD-40 Multi-Use Product it is not a grease, it is formulated with strong lubricating oils and other ingredients, and is a terrific product to use for bike maintenance. It does not attract dirt or moisture to metal surfaces – just be sure to wipe off any excess WD-40 Multi-Use Product before riding.

Sigh. Ok back on topic. Someone got another motherboard they really like/hate?
Are mining motherboards that use USB straight off the MB really common?
I saw a few when I was buying mine. I declined, I think they cost more and/or had to come from abroad and take weeks to get here. They're just normal boards with the socket changed. There's no chip on single PCI-E to USB risers.

Searching "usb riser mining motherboard" on Ebay produces 12 listings, but they're all the same B250C board. Same as I got, but I got the version with twelve 1x PCI-E sockets.

Not that I've seen. They're designed for mining, which needs bugger all CPU.

You won't need it for Einstein. Perhaps for Folding@Home which needs more CPU. For reference, an i3-6100 CPU can support 80Gflops of GPUs on Folding.

Yeah but they're slower.
Interesting, I googled if blondes are really stupider, and it's claimed surveys say they aren't. But we all know stats are nonsense. I just looked at the photos of the 10 all-time most intelligent women, and not one was blonde. https://www.wonderslist.com/smartest-women-with-the-highest-iq/

It's mainly the brunettes dying their hair blonde. They're the stupid ones, they don't even remember to do the eyebrows!
