The sound of silenceFTFY <| sep |> Hey man , I ' d hang out with you . Keep your head up bro . There ' s no doubt a lot of shitty people out there , but there ' s a lot of good ones too . <| sep |> I see , I ' ll get rid of the thermal compound , but what do you mean preapplied ? CPUs don ' t typically come packaged with the stock cooler already attached to the CPU . <| sep |> I hate to sound ageist , but I ' ve had this happen to me with several higher ups . In my situation it wasn ' t that I was any smarter , but that they refused to get with the times . They eschewed technology so what they would painstakingly do in hours took me a fraction of the time with less errors . It would frustrate me to no end because they were so smart and had so much experience , but they got phased out and it was their own fault .
