I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don’t think I’ve gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.

EA fucked us out of a TitanFall 3. And a 3rd Alice from American McGee

Wow this sure is overstated. The biggest actual risk here is ISPs doing deep inspection and getting data from private trackers.

Not nothing, but the ‘RCE’ they are claiming relies on an edge case and a lot of manual work on the part of a potential attacker who would also need to be able to intercept your traffic on the off chance you run qbit on windows and use qbit to install python.

This, to me, is a big nothing burger.

Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that’s the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel…how’s that 286 doing for you?

He Heard it was the new thing to do.

The other thing is that the monthly investment amount should increase when income does, which at minimum should match inflation.

I had a shitty white Kia Rio that I wrote off in a snowstorm. I borrowed my dad’s car to drive while I looked for a replacement I could afford, and after a few weeks my insurance said ‘we paid you the coverage. If you don’t put a new car on your policy, we’ll cancel it.’ ok, fine. I put my old junker (car before the Rio) on it - wasn’t even road worthy, but I had accident forgiveness on this policy and if I had to start over I’d get higher premiums.

I found a car a week later. Called the broker to switch the policy.

'we can’t remove this car from the policy unless we contact your bank first ’

What.

They claimed because I had bought my Rio with a bank loan that they couldn’t remove my junker without permission from the bank.

I argued with this person politely for 10 minutes, pointing out that I’d paid the car off 2 years prior. They said ‘well I’ll need to check with the underwriter then.’ fine. I get a call back 30m later, same person. ‘no, we need permission from the bank according to the underwriter.’

This pissed me off because I knew I was being lied to. “Now I know you’re lying to me. I have the cheque from the underwriter cashed in my account. They would not have issued it to me if there was any issue with the bank. I am not a customer of that bank, have not been for 2 years.”

‘well sir, I need to confirm that with the bank’

“If you contact the bank in reference to me in any way, shape, or form, I will sue you for breach of privacy and file complaints with every government office that I can. DO NOT CALL THE BANK. SWITCH IN THE NEW CAR.”

They refused. I called back 2 hours later, got someone else. Told them I needed the new car switched in.

They did it, and a week later I filed a written complaint to the broker about the other rep, firmly underscoring the lying.

No idea if it was related or not, but the branch got downsized away less than a year later.

Anyway, fuck insurance companies.

There is slightly more openness to androids layers than the win32 layers as well.

I still remember symlinking to binaries in my windows system folder back in the late 90s to be able to run office 95 under Linux. (The MSFT system files permitted some things to work properly that just didn’t with the wine provided libraries back then)

Isn’t that already a case for the police or FBI or something?

Yes

James May? Is that you?

The fact that people were still paying for ‘professional’ dowsing services as recently as 20 years ago says a lot too. Many people genuinely thought that wells needed to hit a specific spot to get water, the comprehension of how water tables work was certainly lacking.

I guess you couldn’t have been an archer in ancient Rome.

I’d rather do a signal VoIP call than discord

Are you including the R&D costs? Best estimates I’ve seen for a mechzilla put labour and materials between 65-95 million USD

I thought it blew up because after tipping over the tanks ruptured - a normal result of a rocket tip-over. Am I mistaken?

I think you’ve got too many zeros on your price estimate, no? The tower is huge, but there’s no way it costs five hundred million dollars.

Offering visitors a nes or SNES classic - which are recent, official, Nintendo products would be less embarrassing than using a windows PC.

Sorting by top?

Right?! This right here.

I was once yelled at by a friend of a girl for “ignoring her advances.” I kid you not, the “advances” consisted of her walking up to me at a party, saying “hey, aren’t you in my math class?” (To which I answered in the affirmative) and “well, um, I guess I’ll see you there Monday!”

How the fuck was I supposed to know that was an attempt at flirting?

The older gay guy at work? “You’re gorgeous. Ever consider dating a man?”

Depends on the region. Lots of places have 2nd degree murder for murders that perpetrated by someone who had intent but did not plan it, then use manslaughter for the death of someone which was not intentional but should have known that there was a probability of death occuring.
