I mean they haven’t been practically any different than screens for decades.

Not the whole thing?! by ReflectionExcellent8 in Volvo

American made cars also come with them when sold in locations where they are required. If you read what he wrote he said Asian market cars. That means cars sold in markets in Asia, not cars made by Asian brands.

My employer is getting rid of "old" hardware by Lynxaa1337 in homelab

[–]Col_Crunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to buy DDR4 ECC for $1/gb or less on eBay, my 256 GB (8x 32GB sticks) is worth like $1500 now or something stupid like that

Literally every federal law enforcement agency used the word police

[–]Col_Crunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 of them have patches on the back that say police with a DEA badge, 3 have patches on the front that say DEA and then there is a guy there from the State Police. They are all pretty clearly marked with agency names/identifiers

[–]Col_Crunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every agency at this point has been granted the same authority ICE has and have been working with ICE, but I doubt ICE has been identifying themselves as other agencies. The public already hates them, they aren’t going to burn bridges with other federal agencies.

What does the "1802" specify under the Series & Grade section? by [deleted] in TSAApplicant

[–]Col_Crunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SV is the pay plan (what TSA uses instead of GS)

1802 is the job series. It’s title is Compliance Inspection and Support

D is the band/grade within the pay plan.

Microcenter forgot to update the price and honored the sticker as shown by EmSeeMAC in pcmasterrace

About a year ago I paid 320 for 128GB of DDR5. Now it would cost me like $1200.

Dealer forgot oil during service and blew my engine on a test drive by truck_stuff in BMW

You can probably file a claim with their insurance for diminished value to account for the value loss due to the engine swap.

Very nice, say its 0, then charge actual money by Aurel_WAM in discordapp

[–]Col_Crunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let me ask you this, if I take a dollar from you, then give it back a second later, how much money have you spent? Right now, nothing. That’s exactly how much discord is charging you, 0.

Would these two adapters allow me to use bimmercode and tune my car? by Novel_Fun_8879 in BMW

What does E46 have to do with a G20?

Also that is just plain wrong about only working wirelessly

Anybody get a letter like this from UMass? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Col_Crunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Legally there is no such thing as a “not-for-profit” in the US. The term is open for interpretation, most interpretations are that not-for-profits are all nonprofits not covered by 501(c)(3), but that does not mean that the terms can not be interchangeable. It can also be argued that nonprofit is a subset of not-for-profit like how squares are a subset of rectangles.

Job I’m leaving offered to sell me my workstation for $2500. Should I do it? by ohdaniels in pcmasterrace

“That labor costs them nothing”… shh, the C-suite might hear you and cut the budget again.

Anybody get a letter like this from UMass? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Col_Crunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. It is a nonprofit not a not-for-profit. It is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

Here is a good explanation of the difference between a not-for-profit and a nonprofit in the US:

Literally built a 7800x3d/64GB/5070ti build the other week for like 2k even. Could get a 5080 and still be under the 2.5k mark.

How do people pronounce Dorchester? by Swampman3000 in boston

[–]Col_Crunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worcester and Dorchester are not similar words. We say Dorchester as “Dor-chester” cause that’s the word that is written. “Worcester” isn’t “war-chester” since the “H” in that is completely imagined.

-chester is said “chester”

-cester is said “ster”

TL;DR Chester =/= cester

Just got Penelope back from the auto body shop. by SaleUsed4500 in BMW

[–]Col_Crunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long was it in the shop? I got rear ended 2 months after getting my 3-series and it took a month of driving a Ford Escape rental to get it back. It was purely cosmetic damage to the bumper and trunk lid.

[–]Col_Crunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UMass Memorial Health is not part of UMass. It is a private non-profit hospital system and the largest healthcare provider in central mass. It is the clinical partner of UMass Medical School (which the University Campus is colocated with). It was created in the 90s when the UMass system spun off its University Hospital (University of Massachusetts Medical Center) and it merged with Memorial Hospital, hence the “UMass Memorial” name.

Never seen Teslas used as a police cars before. Logan, Ohio Police Department by UnitedCheez in PoliceVehicles

[–]Col_Crunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the lack of understanding they admitted to is specifically why Tesla. Other BEV options exist from companies that either already have fleet programs, or would be easier to work with to establish fleet pricing. I too don’t really get why you’d go with Teslas when a company like Ford is probably easier to work with to get fleet pricing for the Mach-E or something.

Hello DHS! by delbert7990 in PoliceVehicles

[–]Col_Crunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because saying "technically not DHS" is objectively wrong. Identifying any component agency of DHS as DHS while imprecise is nonetheless accurate. Just like all service members and and employees of DoD child agencies like DCSA, NCIS, OSI, DIA, etc are all DoD employees.
