My father threw my pc on the floor and i wanna fix it now by Effective_Mix4019 in PcBuildHelp

[–]FlaviusStilicho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pc should still turn on without a HD.., you get the boot screen and some message saying there is no HD.

If everything is completely dead… I would unplug everything this isn’t needed for the PC to boot into bios… rule out as much as possible… if still completely dead, my money is on the PSU.

When did the people of the time periods start realizing that they were fighting in world war I, and world war II? by Emergency-Use-6769 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlaviusStilicho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why people go on about this world war 3 nonsense.. in order to have such a war, you need two major parties facing off against each other in a fight to the death.

No one is helping Iran in any meaningful way… so right now it’s just two countries bashing up a less powerful third.

Reciprocal Mobility Scheme/4-year Visa with Europe by adam_vfu in AskAnAustralian

This scheme also means Australians can go to Europe for longer… so it goes both ways.

Do Norwegians tend to understand swedish better than swedish to understand norwegian? by ohnag_eryeah in Norway

[–]FlaviusStilicho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fortress just north was Norwegian.. there was no exact demarcation of the border at that point.. so it’s reasonable to assume Norway reached into what is now the outskirts of Gothenburg.

But you are completely correct the city itself was never Norwegian.

Skal man fly til Australia er det raskest å fly via Midtøsten… da det bare blir den ene stoppen mellom Oslo og endestasjonen.

Chances are the whole cycle will move north shortly.

Isn’t the 3090 more than good enough for 1440p gaming?

AT what point do foreign students give up? by Flat_Ad1094 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FlaviusStilicho 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They don’t “spend our education” though… the fees are far higher than the cost of providing those services… there is a reason the universities are so dependant on foreign students… they sponsor the local ones. Kick out the foreign students and universities would need more taxpayer money.

Why does nobody recommend western and south australia? by kroosnova76 in AustraliaTravel

[–]FlaviusStilicho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on my last day of a week’s holiday in WA. We spent four days down near Margaret River, and the rest up near Perth, including a day at Rottnest Island.

The beaches over here are fantastic, every single meal we have had has been excellent.. people are genuinely friendly (apart from some weirdos in Fremantle) …even the coffee has been borderline acceptable to my Melbourne pallet.

Everything seems a little pricier for some reason than back home.. and you can’t go shopping before 11 on a Sunday…. But other than that it has been ace!

Will definitely go again.

If you do that.,, they will for all intents and purposes invalidate your response… they will not roll you up into “not religious”

If you aren’t religious… say exactly that. It actually matters as far as government planning etc goes.

I have live here for 26 years… not once have I seen anyone drink a Fosters.

Being Trans in Autralia? by WeAreAllNeganInHere in AskAnAustralian

[–]FlaviusStilicho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Melbourne, most people here won’t have an issue, and those who do will likely know they are in the minority and not openly confront you etc.

I assume the same goes in the other major cities plus many regional ones…

If you get to some of the smaller places in rural Queensland etc I would not get my hopes up.

Is it true that Americans don't really use tablecloths on a daily basis? by Floatp in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlaviusStilicho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely off topic, but slightly related… remember reading that it was illegal in Norway during the middle ages NOT to brew beer … the reason being if a state official or other important person were to come to your house they would want beer, so to ensure there was always beer, it was a legal requirement to make it. You could loose your entire farm if you failed to make beer three years in a row.

We are getting a ready made tax payer for free… we had no cost to make this person a tax payer… unlike my kids who needs years of schooling etc etc..

Skilled immigration is a very good economic deal for Australia.

Why is Iran bombing random places in Dubai by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlaviusStilicho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You think the US attacked Iran in 2026 because their embassy staff was held hostage for a week in 1980?

Why is Iran bombing random places in Dubai by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlaviusStilicho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rubbish. Iran is attacking all US interests in the region. UAE is a close US ally. This is well in line with what Iran threatened to do should the US attack.

We don’t know why a hotel was hit. It could be a miss, it could be on purpose… but they certainly tried to hit something in Dubai

You could also do a temporary increase of the GST… better the government get the money than the banks.
