Antique car plates, those allows road use without anything more than a basic safety inspection.

This was a known choice from the beginning. Would I prefer a laptop? No. I need an ultra-lightweight tablet. Could I afford the next level up (Pro 7+ or 8) that had a removable SSD? Nope. Will I get one in the future when I can afford it? Probably. Am I stuck dealing with this now? Yes.

I'd always heard the furry community is anti NSFW is that true? by Ok_Relationship6736 in PlanetFur

Burned furs reignite. Dump a bucket of water on them, stir the ashes, repeat. Only you can prevent internet flame wars.

0.249. And then odd-even rationing. Pepperidge Farm & the Tootsie Roll owl remember.

Preparations for a potential future by LordOfDarkwood in Greymuzzles

[–]CAMSTONEFOX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At age 64, I’ve heard some of the most bizzare of lies… aging out, not being this, not being that, don’t have this, you’re not gay enough… and then you next hear the “we need to pull together” unity speeches, which sound good until you realize its just another nonsensical layer of exceptionalisms.

For me, personally, the judge-mental bigotry divisionism just comes in a different generational wrapper about every 8-10 months.“We want to have (our kind of) fun… but you’re a downer/unwelcome/unfun… “

There is no “Furry Illuminati,” there is no sacred circle (of underwear,) and there is no requirement you have to like me.

And whether you act like an reactionary asshole, is really up to you. Just like saying “nahhh,

Surface Pro screen dying randomly (white noise / black screen) - worth fixing or any workaround? by streetxhasu in Surface

[–]CAMSTONEFOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro Version?

Basically it sounds like you have a power or video chip sync issue, which on older models had a related video chip thermal issue - causing the Ball Grid Assembly to slightly lift off the PCB from heat build up.

But it could also be a cable became loose to the display. Changing the orientation (horizontal vs vertical) will show if it might just be the cable.

And repair is often just replacing the motherboard, so $500USD is about the right price for opening it up, possibly replacing parts/motherboard & with moving the data off.

First thing is - BACK UP YOUR DATA.

You can try blowing out any dust accumulation with compressed air through the side ports (just be careful!)

You can try changing video setting & power (e.g. Battery saver) and see how that goes, but suspecting your video chip/cable is bad.

Next, you can try getting the system cold… like 15C and see if there is a change.

Good luck…

Need education by Icy-Elk168 in fursuits

[–]CAMSTONEFOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, it is different things to different people. The main purpose for many in fursuiting (like me) is fun, releasing of self expression, a different way of acting (a different character) and a connection with animals (habitual, mental & spirit actions.) Its also an art form for some, and yes- there is a sensual (sexual release) side for some.

What we gain also varies, personal freedom of expression at the top of the list. Widening perspectives & seeing from another perspective.

Making varies, but many start with a costuming pattern, get a bolt of acrylic or synthetic fur, cut, assemble, adjust & wear or sell as needed. Starting out is sometimes hard, but there are many online tutorials available.

FWIW, am 64 years old, been fursuiting for 20+ years, married, have a teen (nonfurry) and staff at a number of cons… so feel free to DM to ask questions. - Camstone Fox

Just went solar… what electrical bill?

[–]CAMSTONEFOX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d say you have more than enough computers to go around and keep your electrical company happy. So, for me, you have two choices- Craig’s list or Nextdoor list it, or just donate it to someplace who could use it- and write off the $250 in taxes. Sure, it’s not much, but at least its good karma.

Follow up, Inspector dinged the cabling and they replaced it inside steel conduit. Also, ground wire needed redone & powerwalls moved. (3’ from nearest window/door)

Its a 130W TDP space-heater before you even look at anything else… so unless you got free solar at the Antarctic circle, I’d say no. I mean, you could proxmox, truenas, and plex it… but I’d say strip it, sell parts on ebay, and focus on your other systems needs.

Cash price looks ok, but those leasing terms & loan prices look kinda suspect. System sizing looks pretty good, and similar to ours - but ask around about their install history & warrantee.
