Take a dump that’s three minutes longer and think of Sharon during.

Wow, I’m amazed that the heater could be charged for something at all. These people are above the law.
Ah, off duty.

You need beans.

Hi, I wanted to follow up and let readers know that I solved the problem. The root cause was the SSD firmware needed to be upgraded. I never would’ve guessed that was the cause, but apparently over the past year there were a bunch of WD Black SSDs that have problems on Windows unless they receive a patch.
- Comment on I'm not gonna be part of your system 2 weeks ago:
My dad’s not a phone!
- Comment on They don't pay me enough for this 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t mean we don’t use it as our main database
- Comment on Im stupid but have money 2 weeks ago:
It depends on your needs. I’m in the same boat, and for now, I’m investing because I ran the numbers and decided my combination of factors (local real estate market, level of commitment to this location, job security) means I’m better off with market risk than renting.
I can totally be wrong. The future is uncertain. I decided that’s the risk I prefer over the risk of stagnant home values.
Still this is a very personal decision. I’d choose between a basic but solid flat vs. investing in other ways, but don’t buy real estate to invest IMHO you do it because it suits your lifestyle first, and only after that, as an investment.

This is the actual login screen. Not the bit locker recovery screen. Thus, the drive has already been unlocked.

I couldn’t use Safe Mode to diagnose my driver problem on Windows 11 because it said I couldn’t sign in due to security reasons.
I’m not paraphrasing. It just told me because reasons. Because obviously I’m too dumb to understand.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
The backwards thing is, it probably actually is profitable, but we can’t see beyond the next quarter. We don’t understand that you can invest in your people.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
Best I can do is fed interest rate cuts.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
Precisely. This is extreme inequity. There are plenty of resources to go around.
The future was stolen.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 4 weeks ago:
With care and advance notice. No unexpected hugs, especially not from behind. Lid for every pot I suppose.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 4 weeks ago:
My wife and I do not enjoy kissing. It could be the autism, but the physical sensation is not pleasurable for either of us and we have never understood the appeal of this act. It’s jarring. Like nails on chalkboard when tongue is touched.

Relevant username.

Quality post. GG.

I did not consent to this.

I’m fascinated how similar they are to each other in the lower right panel.

I had the “I” and “L” mixed up on my keyboard for years after I did a thorough cleaning.

Hell yeah. 128 MB of it, courtesy of my wireless router.
- Comment on How young do you have to be to get kidnapped and never realizing that you were kidnapped? 1 month ago:
I think you’re just asking when people form their first coherent memories.
This is about 2 to 3 years old.

When you forget your plumbus at home.
- Comment on My led lights suddenly turned dim. Why do they break like that? 1 month ago:
They don’t need to run failure studies. That basic characterization work is mostly already done for you. Component vendors (should) publish tables of mean time between failure for the components you’re buying that can be used to get a rough estimation with just a few minutes of effort. Typically it’s indexed by temperature, like for caps.
Now, does the bottom of the market actually use those tables? I can’t say for sure. I know one high power headlamp company does this for their LED drivers to balance lifetime with output, but I can’t know for sure what every business does.
- Comment on Eat more fibre or something 1 month ago:
I didn’t even read the title, haha. That wasn’t meant to be a correction but a suggestion that the frog dude get more fibre.
- Comment on Eat more fibre or something 1 month ago:
Fiber.
- Comment on My led lights suddenly turned dim. Why do they break like that? 1 month ago:
The LED bulb itself is not typically the reason that these fail. There’s also complex regulation circuitry which consists of far more complex components than a single LED. Electrolytic capacitors and driver circuits can have shorter lifetimes than the actual bulb.
With that said, manufacturers know this, so they also tend to overdrive lower cost LEDs to bring the failure rates in line with the rest of the circuit. This sounds like this may be what has happened to you just based on the dimming, but without knowing exactly how they have wired it up, it’s difficult to be sure.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 1 month ago:
These practices are exactly the kinds of behaviors that regulators should prevent.
When a business gets huge it shouldn’t be allowed to buy up all of its competition. Regulatory authorities should block these acquisitions. For example, Sprint should never have been sold because it concentrated power even further and gives customers less choice.
It’s not simple price competition either. A company like Walmart can afford to sell products at a loss to drive other businesses out on purpose and then jack up the prices when they’re the only game in town. Dollar General has been accused of strategically placing stores to block businesses from making a profit.

It’s like we have a centrally planned economy but dumber.
I don’t know what the solution is.
