“What's reality? I don't know. When my bird was looking at my computer monitor I thought, "That bird has no idea what he's looking at." And yet what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can't really panic, he just does the best he can. Is he able to live in a world where he's so ignorant? Well, he doesn't really have a choice. The bird is okay even though he doesn't understand the world. You're that bird looking at the monitor, and you're thinking to yourself, I can figure this out. Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that's the best you can do.”

How can I keep thermal paste from hardening?
Cultural, but non-practicing.

Keep in mind I live in the tropics, so it's very hot and humid here.
Have you tried keeping it in the refrigerator?
PTM7950 is better than any paste, and lasts forever when applied, but it sounds like it'd be pretty difficult to apply it in your climate. Graphite pads are inferior to paste, and PTM7950, but they keep forever and are the easiest thing to use.

I know, but how can I preserve it?
If you buy halfway decent thermal paste, you shouldn't need to, most likely you just bought junk.
Whose toes are those?!?!???

Show it pictures of a naked grandma. That usually stops me from hardening.
DM if I don't respond.

I've had a huge tube of Arctic MX-4 that was in a drawer for the better part of a decade and it held up.
Get one of the newer Arctics to avoid new old stock, but yeah lots of the stuff that parts are shipped with turns into cement.
