It ' s the same as no way . <| sep |> I would go for a Fulltone OCD . Looots of gain for an OD . A little flatter eq response than a rat . Can function as a clean boost too . <| sep |> If a VRM phase fails , particularly one of the MOSFETs failing as a dead short , is there not a real risk of 12 v being fed through on the core voltage rail and blowing up any decoupling capacitors from excess voltage rather than heat ? The last few MOSFETS I blew up from thermalelectrical stress ended up as a dead short between drain and source . This seems a lot more likely to result in an exploded cap than elevated thermals , especially at the duty cycle most cards see . <| sep |> To liberals the central problem is still the double standards , that you tolerate sexist , homophobic etc . behavior in men as long as they are not white . This fuels white rage . Over here the standard example is Pim Fortuyn who simply wanted immigrants to become liberal and tolerate gays and basically he was portrayed as fascist . American example white culture videogames blasted for portraying women as sex objects , black culture rap music clips not . I understand that it puts you in a difficult situation . Liberalism was invented by whites , forcing it on nonwhites is like forcing white culture on them , kind of colonial style . That is the Pim Fortuyn method . You don ' t want that , clear . The alternative , to accept whites to be just as sexist and homophobic as nonwhites , would mean giving up liberalism as such . In the UK this is what one of the most disgusting British politicians ever , George Galloway did with the Respect party , the proimmigrant party , just silently dropped stuff like gay rights , he knows they are antigay , and he never had a spine . So yeah neither alternative works for you . But you are supposed to be the smart educated guys . Figure it out somehow , that would likely end the whitelash .
