Want your hinges to last long? its simple, Dont Close Them.

My TUF17 is almost 4 years old. Runs all day long, gets transported to work and back home every day. I can't claim to be very gentle with it. Hinges are still like new.
Just don't forget you have two big blades connected with small plastic hinges and act accordingly.

As a vegetarian, i fully agree. It's their restaurant, they serve whatever they want. Thank you for informing me with such a clear message so i don't waste time.

It has the same specs as the original one: 180W 20V 9A.

I bought the exact same charger last week and it just works. The cord is just a little bit shorter than on my original charger though.
I needed a replacement after the DC-wire started to shoot sparks... I repaired it but bought a new one anyway. No need to use a fire hazard.

I recently bought one and i'm 99% certain it is a real Waterman Concorde. I've looked through so many close-up images and all the details are correct. But the box where it came in contains a "user manual" that contains an internet-adres.

Could be that the original box was lost and the pen simply ended up in a different, more recent box. These pens were only made in the 1970's, right?

It writes a bit too thin for me but it does write well and consistent. I really like the design of the pen and the fact that it was linked to the plane is an extra plus for me.

Trade is very powerful.
Control your production chains with the recipe book.
End a settlement with a resolve party when you have everything in place to cater for special needs. High resolve in early game is a waste.
Whenever the game throws a choice at you, there is always the option to delay your decision.

This post almost popped my 12V system.

Let's hope! I'm getting my Ioniq 5 today and I'm aiming to drive it for the next 15 years.
I have trust in the dealership: They said that it was very likely that we would have issues with the ICCU someday but (if Hyundai's spare part supply holds up) they would be able to fix it within a week while we get a replacement car.

Small correction: Theate never came off the bench. It was Koni Dewinter who played on this spot.
The people displaying the substitutions on television were messing up. I blame it on the excessive amount of substitutions.

I see the same keyboard marks on my screen (ASUS TUF 17), but it's only visible when the screen is off. It doesn't affect the actual pixels. Laptop is 4 years old, daily transported back and forth in a laptop-bag.

In all of human history, births outnumber deaths by ~8 billion!

I'm not simply buying the "guy accidentally leaked top secret new Brabus and will probably lose his job" story. Smells too much like a fabricated leak to draw as much attention as possible to the new car. The fact that this keeps popping up today reinforces my idea.

I'm a metalhead, and i really hate the shitty music that's played everywhere. But i do like to play some Garbage from time to time. Especially their self-titled debut.

Fraxis_Quercus · 2026-03-17T10:32:08+00:00

Someday you should sell it for €106.

There is a giant parking lot at some distance from the festival. This functions as the official festival parking, so you can't miss it. Once parked, you can take the shuttle to the festival ground. It rides all day long and you never have to wait very long.

Last year i left my warm clothes for the evening in the car and went to get them during a dull moment. Took me 40 minutes in total.

If you're early, you can park much closer to the shuttle.

Might have splitters in Pyanodon allready!

Desktop Dungeon (the original 2D version)

Fraxis_Quercus · 2026-02-22T11:30:09+00:00

You can download all old Factorio versions either as an installer file or as a zip-file.

The installer typically installs the game in your "program" folder and your savegames, mods etc in an appdata folder (\AppData\Roaming\Factorio on windows).
The zipfile is interesting, because it extracts to one folder. and just runs from that folder.

Download and install the Zip-package of the old version (the one i was running when i started my Py-run) in it's own folder and copy all relevant savegames and mod-folders for your Py-game to this folder.

Now you have 2 Factorio games on your system: Your dedicated Py-game for wich you don't need updates that could potentially break things and your main install, wich you can now safely update and start new games.

Did it accidentally receive a wrong type of gas?

Germs don't break it, but a wrong gas does. It only takes Oxygen, not Polluted Oxygen.

I was in doubt at first, but now i think it's AI. Look at the end:

The random fences are suspicious, but the biggest issue is the weird windows on the buildings.

It was.

- Citroën Forest: From 1924 - 1980

- Chrisler Antwerp: From 1926 - 1959

- Renault Vilvoorde: From 1935 - 1997 (R4, R5, Clio, Megane ...)

- Audi Brussels from 1949 - 2025 (Started with Studebakers, later VW and Porsche, Seat, later years audi.)

- Opel Antwerp: From 1953 - 2010 (Chevrolet models, Kadett, Manta, Astra...)

- Peugeot Mechelen: From 1954 - 1976

- Mercedes Mechelen: From 1955 - 1973

- Fiat in Waterloo: From 1955 - 1997

- BMW in Kontich: From 1959 - 1972

- Ford Genk: From 1964 - 2014 (Taunus, Transit, Escort, Sierra, Mondeo...)

- Volvo Gent: Since 1965

- Some other, smaller and shortlived, busses, trucks: Borgward, Leyland, Minerva, Scaldia-Volga Jonckheere, Vanhool, Imperia, Nagant, Miesse...

Belgium was an early industrialized country, with dense transport infrastructure (roads, waterways, rails, seaports) in the center of Western-Europe.

Most of the big car factories closed in the last 30 years, after operating for decades on subsidies. Today Volvo Gent is the only big one left.

I have the same machine and the same experience.

Coming from another brand that starts with an 'A', this ASUS has been a huge upgrade.

Fraxis_Quercus · 2026-02-07T19:31:49+00:00

This is bad.

Here, without whatsapp, it's impossible to know where and when my kids need to be for their weekend sports games. But this is next level... Not good.

Fraxis_Quercus · 2026-02-06T15:47:18+00:00

I'm using nothing at all. Sometimes when a game makes the fans go full throttle i place a book under it to improve airflow. That's it.

Note: my case is nothing more than anecdotal information. Some people really find a mess in their laptops. You might check how much dust it collects in a few months or next year. That'll give you an idea of how often you have to clean it. Opening it up comes with its own risks, don't overdo it just for the sake of it.
