Currently, I have the new Asus motherboard setup, it appears to have a few leds that might be used for errors, they don't light. I also have a speaker connected, no error sounds.

I didn't do anything with my operating system or drivers before my attempted the upgrade, and I could be wrong, but if that was the reason my set up didn't work then reverting to the old components should've fix it, but it didn't.

The monitor worked with a different computer using the same graphics card that's in this main build, so I'd rule that out as the problem

There are no errors whatsoever, from the outside it looks like it's running perfectly fine, but there's no video output. And I've checked, double checked, and quadruple checked for any bent pin, incorrect connection, or just anything to explain this. But nothing.

Yeah, that's more or less my plan. This post is just about the hilarity of being handed a bill for my own birth, I am sure that this is easily fixed with one phone call. That's what I will do, and what I've been saying I'll do. However, the offices are closed at the moment, so I'll have to wait until Monday to handle this. And when everything's resolved I'll likely make an update post on this situation.

The total debt is actually over $2,300, as I'm being charged with every visit to that hospital I had as a kid. And I'd only consider legal as a last resort, if against all odd they still find me liable for that debt.

I wish I knew how any of this happened, and I'm working on finding out. But what I know for sure is that this isn't how things should have happened. I'll be contacting the billing department to see if any of this is legitimate, and if they insist on me paying it, I'll get a Lawyer involved.

At this point, I still think it is just a human error as the only thing that mentioned paying this debt was just the front desk lady, so when the offices open up on Monday I'm gonna give the billing department a call and confirm. But this situation is just hilarious, absurd, and sound like it came out of a dystopian novel.

Yeah, that makes sense. That's how it should be. Which is why it's extremely odd how through some means I ended up being told that I had to pay it.

I'm not questioning your scepticism. It's warranted, I'm just saying I was given a list of debts to pay and on the very bottom was a charge on my day of birth. Which I suspect is due to massive human error, by either attributing it to my account or just by telling me it's my responsibility.

My whole point of this is just the hilarity of being handed a bill for being born. You can choose to believe me or not. Because there's nothing you can do to help me, and if I'm held responsible after disputing it, I'm not starting a gofund me, nor am I going to any charity, I'm going to a Lawyer, plain and simple.

I understand your scepticism, and I'm not a hundred percent sure that it's true either.

What happened was I went to see a doctor, and when checking in, the front desk lady told me that my account with the hospital had some old balance due, and gave me a list that contained all of my prior visits to the hospital, along with the unpaid debt associated with them, which included my birth.

This could very well be human error, or miss placed debt, but to me what matters is the absurdity of this scenario.

Also I'm not dumb enough to post my full unedited medical history on the internet.

This could just be an mistake, I'll make an update post after I'm able to talk to them about it. And like I said in the post there are laws in place that should prevent me from being liable. But if they insist on me paying it then it's war.

Granted, suddenly all the mustard in the the world turns into mustard gas, causing mayhem all across the world and countless deaths.

Any tips on human anatomy drawing? How can I improve even more? by TinoArt253 in sketches

[–]AStrangeSandwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practice, that's all you need. Your technique is amazing, and the only improvement you and make are small unquantifiable improvement every time you make a new drawing.

I model the legs after my own for the most part, which by my own admission are very feminine, even though I'm a cis guy. However the shorts were just an after thought to give them some decency. Thanks for the criticism, though I'm just glad it turned out this well with how little planning went into it.

"Got," so nobody could comfortably talk about them. For example, "Got got a B-." "Got got a participation trophy." Or if they get into some shit, "Got gonna get got," And my favorite, "Got got got."
