A honda pilot is a 2-ton vehicle, I assume the rest of your opinions are similarly ungrounded

100% consistent with static damage.

thats the thing about ESD damage - it can reduce reliability or operating margins. It rarely shows up as “whole part entirely nonworking”.

People think this and end up like OP.

Often the symptoms resulting from damage are subtle, irritating, and situationally intermittent.

maybe you built your PC on a humid day or didn’t happen to do anything to raise a charge, But I wouldn’t go around telling other people that it’s not necessary.

its mandatory if you don’t want to damage CMOS gates

this can happen due to static discharge. It’s mandatory to follow static safe handling procedures when installing PC parts

Screw the calibration and crank that gamma

Because your tv black level or gamma are set wrong?

When you pay there is no advertising, except the damn “creators” putting their own midroll ads and merch/subscription begging in - which infuriates me.

And most of the media went right along with wording such as “tariffs on China” rather than than “tariffs on US buyers”

are these packaged thermometer devices, such as the DS18B20, or a bare thermistor bead?

If it’s just a bead, you probably need to calibrate them.

The kids on my street do come and knock, but they don’t know what to do then. The just stand there waiting - I’m like “what do you say???”, and they go “uhh, thank you???”

C’mon kids!
