Apple propaganda notwithstanding, the reason tower PCs are big isn’t because they’re outdated. The reason tower PCs are so bulky is because they’re designed to be user serviceable. The case has lots of open space so your big, meaty hands can easily access all of the components, and everything is secured with friction-fit tabs and standard machine screws to minimise the need for specialised tools. A properly laid out tower PC is fully serviceable with a single Phillips-head screwdriver and no greater manual skill than your average Lego playset – heck, for some of the more modern case layouts you don’t even need the screwdriver, unless you’re performing major surgery like a full motherboard replacement.

Like, think about who benefits from convincing you that a fully modular computing device that can be serviced and repaired with your bare hands and minimal technical skill is unfashionable.

Today I bring you the story of Mieke Gorissen

Mieke is a 38 year old Belgian Physics and Maths teacher. In February Mieke said she wanted to run a marathon for funsies and surprised everyone by running the Olympic limit in that race.

Today she ran the Olympic marathon in Tokyo, where her plan was just to finish the marathon and hopefully not finish last. (Especially since it was HOT as hell)

At the finish line she was already crying of joy because she finished the marathon. When she heard from the interviewer she got the 28th place out of 88 candidates, she could not believe it an started crying harder and saying “that’s not possible”.

For an amateur, Mieke her time and perseverance is unbelievable and highlights the beauty of the Olympics. Here’s to you Mieke, a true Olympian!!!

She's a knitter too! Just like Tom Daley. She picked up running in order to keep moving because her hobbies are knitting and reading science books. In 2018 she got a personal trainer to improve her technique on her 10km hobby runs, and turned out to be crazy talented. Her first marathon she had to hand in an "aimed for" time, and she aimed for the Olympic time limit because why not?

She ran far below that limit. Her second ever marathon was this Olympic marathon. And she didn't even put all her time and effort into training, no, she put all her time and effort in the final exams of her high school students. This was very much a side quest. Insane

I thought, that I've never been in the closet, but it turns out, that one must come out officially. Interviews with you after the medal race weren't a breakthrough for me. I had talked about it [having a girlfriend] before, but for some reasons it wasn't published.

Six years ago he introduced me to the world of skateboarding by sharing my video wearing a fairy costume. Today, he filmed me at the Olympics. This is all so amazing, I’m living a dream! ❤️🥰 Thank you @tonyhawk to being so kidding and always motivating me.
