For the first time this computer, 12 years old, rebooted itself, twice within a few minutes. I took off the top and put my box fan blowing on it. It's been good for the last 2 hours. What's the likeliest problem? Power supply? CPU? RAM? I have 16 GB RAM, never use that much, could take some out. If it's the SSD I could take out the CD on top of it if that would improve its cooling. I cleaned it thoroughly a week ago so there's no dust. I know I should get a new computer, so don't bother to tell me that.

Someone in r/comicstriphistory wrote about a parody of Smitty, a comic strip, in 'Mad'. A search on madcoversite didn't turn it up. Do you know which issue?

Would a Greek know what this word means? I just made it up.

The computer has HDMI and VGA outputs. The monitor has both. Yesterday the HDMI output of the computer stopped working. I had to switch to the VGA output. How do I diagnose the HDMI output of the computer?

Cutbacks in US foreign aid have caused a shortage of Plumpy'nut in Sierra Leone. Plumpy'nut is an RUTF made of peanut butter, dry milk, sugar, vitamins and minerals. Sierra Leoneans grow rice, not a native crop. I suspect they would get more nutrition for their farming if they grew peanuts and cassava instead. They might need some vitamin and mineral pills.

While supporting calls for voting rights in the South in the '60s, Dick Gregory sat down to eat a whole chicken for dinner.

A big cracker sat next to him, said, 'Whatever you do to that chicken boy, I'll do to you.'

So Gregory picked the chicken up and kissed it on the ass.

The Wikipedia page sez Mad printed a 3-dollar-bill in the '60s, that Frank Jacobs said it ran afoul of the Secret Service because change machines at Las Vegas accepted it.

An anonymous Redditor gave one of my ordinary posts an award. I think this is my first in 7 years. I can't imagine why.

Where would I ask? r/groceries is dead.
