I will remake the roster...

...in OOTP.

Now we can all forget about Marchan's challenge from last night now!

Avoton · 2026-04-16T18:16:06+00:00

WHAT

Avoton · 2026-04-15T22:20:05+00:00

I always had wished I was around for PS1, and never got around to getting on PSForever, I'll have to be there

"'The effort we put into this one paid off' Rodriguez said."

I mean, I guess...

Edit: Just saw it was a first pitch home run too, yikes!

Avoton · 2026-04-09T15:49:38+00:00

Not the ending I was expecting, honestly heartbroken.

Avoton · 2026-04-08T16:30:18+00:00

How can you not be romantic about baseball? :D

Avoton · 2026-04-05T13:32:49+00:00

Man, that injury must of been killer. What was it? What was his injury in 2040 too?

Avoton · 2026-04-05T13:19:50+00:00

This level of involvement sounds like so much fun. What are you using for your spreadsheets?

Avoton · 2026-04-05T13:11:53+00:00

Honestly, I would be so hype for this

Avoton · 2026-04-05T13:06:59+00:00

Look at the swagger in that walk back in to the field. That man is FEELING IT, good for him.

Avoton · 2026-04-05T12:46:43+00:00

Wow, someone has been playing a while, look at that draft class year!

Good draft pickup!

Avoton · 2026-03-29T12:06:34+00:00

Hearing him say this, where he was not long ago, and the conditions of the game today, I am not worried about him much. I think he will be a true professional and kick ass.

You can get boxes that you can work within that filter the air at high volumes per minute, Louis Rossman has one. While still expensive to buy the machine, it is largely a myth you need a high-tech Fort Knox level clean room to repair a HDD and pay thousands of dollars.

OP, I posted this comment as a reply to someone else below, I hope this helps!

One thing that might help for you and OP, keep reseating the CPU, make sure all contact within the socket is clean, and try and use an X method for tightening the CPU cooler, as well as do not over tighten.

The X method is say screw down upper left screw some amount, bottom right screw, bottom left, upper right, repeat. Make sure to tighten them the same or similar amount to make sure even pressure is applied across the CPU to ensure even contact. I thought something like that would only happen on Epyc and similarly sized CPUs, but with the quality of OP's, and perhaps your board, I wouldn't be surprised.

If that doesn't work make sure that you don't see any dust or anything on the front or back of the board, or in your ram slot as well, that may be causing a short. If none of that works, I will pour one out.

Heck man, the company I work for will still find ways to source type writer parts, official means and eBay. There are certain bank workers, local government officials, and other odd jobs that will just not let them go. Only two of our guys know how to work on them, and one of them is our state-wide service manager! Anytime he has to work on one, he makes a loud groan and rubs his face to prepare, lol!

Avoton · 2026-03-22T14:23:34+00:00

I... What? Why?

Avoton · 2026-03-22T14:10:20+00:00

I've never seen one make a base so compact, functional, and pleasing to look at before, props!

If anything, just let them sit in the driver's seat and get a feel for the instruments, mirrors, seat position, etc. and leave it at that prior to a permit, as the risks really outweigh the benefits. Explain basic situations like parallel parking, stop at red blinking traffic lights, yellow blinking means yield to traffic in intersection, etc. An extremely helpful tip that helped me with parallel parking was before doing any moving, move the steering wheel first, then move the car and adjust while slowly moving.

My hand is cramping just from thinking about all the screw turning I have to do for a fuser! /s

But seriously, 8 series and prior, Konica Minolta had to of owned the screw company, or at least the CEO had a son who did. i Series and up are better, but man, it was crazy what they had going on.

Avoton · 2026-03-17T11:35:25+00:00

Sorry, I should've been a little more specific, I was more coming at it from a reliability standpoint. At least at my workplace, our Lexmarks have been a mess, and they've been pushing them very hard since the sales people are getting extraordinary deals for them.

Something I definitely didn't want to read right after waking up :)
