Motherboard question

So I am going to be using the 5900x but wanted help to pick out of these two or if anyone else has any recommendations I’d be more than happy for the help.
The two I came across
msi board
X570 Aorus Pro and the ROG Strix b550-e
The x570 to be fair from what I’ve seen I wouldn’t mind probably either though I don’t need Wi-Fi. The pro seems to have more connections for USB. But I wouldn’t really know about how different the vrm would be for the 5900x
Thanks

Oliver Cromwell asked parliament if it had any virtue. He then pointed out the self-dealing and corruption which drove the members. I’d like to ask the same question of congress. Oh, there is loads of virtue signaling, but precious little of genuine virtue.

By virtue, I’m talking about serving the objectivity of morality, excellence and valor. Today, morality in our politics is inextricably intertwined with yelling at the opposing members and pandering to voters all for the purpose of accumulating and retaining power and authority. Serving the public good is seldom a consideration unless it is accomplished by a distinct political advantage over the other side.

Note to the Democrats: Self-loathing is a destructive mental condition that consumes virtue.
Note to Republicans: Nostalgia is a fantasy view of the past that turns illusions into virtue.

Observing a smattering of the run-up to the 2022 election shows that politics is about to become less virtuous, if that is even possible.

I don’t how we recover. I’d start with this In elementary schools. With good character, we won’t need to yap about gender and race.

Minnesota@IU, Game 3: UMN 9 IU 8. Two-run homer in the 9th gives the Gophers the win...

IU has already won the series and will now go for the sweep. RHP Bradley Brehmer, who started the yesterday's postponed game is back on the mound and has an ERA of 5.95 in 59 IP, while the Gophers are going with RHP Aiden Maldonado, a transfer from Illinois, with an ERA of 4.06 in 62 IP. Maldonado pitched well in his last start, a win over the Huskers.

In the 1st, Brehmer puts them down in order which included two Ks.

In IU's 1st, IU goes with the same lineup as in the first game today. Whalen pops out to lead off. Jessee then strikes out for the 2nd out. Pyne flies out to end the inning on a great play in LF.

Minnesota@IU, Game 2: IU 12 UMN 0. Bothwell pitches 7 relief innings of no-hit, shutout ball...

This game picked up in the bottom of the 2nd and one out with no one on and no score.

LHP Ty Bothwell is on the mound in place of Brehmer for IU with an ERA of 4.79 in 35.2, and RHP J.P. Massey is on the mound for the Gophers with an ERA of 5.64 in 52.2 IP.

In a resumption of the game of yesterday, Tibbetts strikes out on three pitches for the 2nd out and Ellis walks to put a man on with two outs. Glass strikes out to end the 2nd.

Key game results today that affect IU...

With today's game postponed to tomorrow, there have been some results today that impact the race for the final B1G tournament spots.

Northwestern beat Purdue, 11-1, and Nebraska beat Illinois, 11-2, and both of those schools moved to a game and a half behind us with their wins and are tied for 9th place.

Purdue's loss means that they are a half game plus some percentage points behind us in 8th place.

Michigan got clobbered by Maryland, 20-6, and they are now just a half game ahead of us in 6th place. Should Michigan lose to the Terps tomorrow and we take the DH from the Gophers, we will be a half game up on them in that 6th place.

The Penn State and OSU game was suspended in the 6th inning with OSU up 3-0 and like with IU/Minn, they will complete the suspended game tomorrow in a DH. If PSU were to go on and lose both games tomorrow, they would be tied with IU for 5th place if the Hoosiers win both games tomorrow, and Michigan loses again to the Terps.

I think I got all of that correct so here's hoping for a sweep tomorrow, and if things fall right for us tomorrow, we could be in a tie for 5th place.

This new generation has no concept how to interact

Am I becoming an old man? I’m still in my late 30’s.

Went on a hiking trip this last week. Absolutely epic. 40 miles in 48 hours and almost a mile of elevation gain. Anyway, just an observation. It’s normally common on a trail to acknowledge someone you pass. Eye contact, nod, hello, something. Everyone in the early or mid 20’s you can almost see the stress in their eyes when they see you coming. They either look down, or give that glassy stare into space. It’s weird! I’ve noticed how weird they act in meetings at work. They’re scared to death to interact and will absolutely never use the phone when a simple 5 minute conversation is better than trading 6 emails and wasting their and my time.

Old man rant over.

Saturday's game postponed with a DH tomorrow...

The postponed game will pick up in the bottom of the 2nd with one out and no score, and will begin at 11 a.m. (ET) tomorrow. The 2nd game will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.

“Write Your Gay Friend A Letter”

Social policy in schools is apparently a 2 way street.

A local, private Christian school assigned 7th graders to write a draft letter to a hypothetical gay friend explaining how God feels about it and how they still love their gay friend and want to help them.

Of course private schools are different, but I suspect this will be controversial anyway.

NIL (unethically) used as recruiting enhancement?

Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know (living under a rock?), but I didn’t realize the NIL couldn’t be used as a recruiting tool (although it’s apparently done all of the time):
“But what's happened is it's now being used for recruiting inducements, and that was never intended. It still is against the rules, but it's blatantly being abused.” (Gary Barta, Iowa AD).
