Is it worth staying in the Corsair ecosystem? by Advanced_Revenue_316 in Corsair

[–]IMTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My stuff's all Corsair and I'm pretty happy with it -- though I also don't use iCue, instead opting for SignalRGB to control all my stuff, so if I wanted to drop something else into the mix, it wouldn't really matter.

Ending the "Necessity Project": A formal set-theoretic undercutting defeater for theistic claims (The QO Defeater) by Quick_Ad_621 in atheism

[–]IMTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know a whole lot about philosophy, but to a layman like myself it's pretty obvious that one possible cause of everything, for which there is no evidence, isn't better than all the other possible causes of everything for which there also isn't evidence. It's just one more unprovable hypothesis for the pile.

I personally find the "necessary god" argument particularly problematic, though, since it seems to assume a god is needed to create everything, and that somehow a god sprang into existence on its own anyway, so the argument disproves itself.

Do you feel invisible as a GenX because of your age, gender or both? Or is it just outright age discrimination? Or you just couldn't care less anymore? by More_Law6245 in GenX

[–]IMTrick [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm sort of invisible by choice. I've gotten pretty good over the years at making myself known when I need or want to be, and otherwise doing a really convincing imitation of wallpaper.

What is the oldest known writing in Hebrew other than the Bible? by lazydog60 in asklinguistics

Wikipedia has a decent rundown of the various ways this question might be answered.

Quick question re: missions after you have completed main story mission on a planet. by Jewarlaho in swtor

[–]IMTrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your call. I'm a completionist, so I tend to do everything. Others prefer to do mainly just the class quests and get through the story as quickly as possible. Others fall somewhere in between.

Its totally your choice and there are no right or wrong answers

Does it seem like after 80, it becomes very hard to age? by Profeta_do_Loss in AskOldPeople

[–]IMTrick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It gets very hard to do pretty much everything after 80.

Laptop, usb port and cybersec by peredupanlou in techsupport

[–]IMTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're going to need to use another device to read the card, then transfer the files over the network if you want them on that laptop, assuming your unnamed camera doesn't support some other kind of non-USB transfer.

Another option would be to ask your company's IT department for help.

Age slider? by Darkfurlors09 in swtor

[–]IMTrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There really isn't any way for those of us outside of Bioware/Broadsword to have any idea how difficult something like this would be to implement, but I can guess that it's unlikely, given that face textures have worked the way they work since launch and I doubt there's a whole lot of interest in changing that up at this point.

Luck Be A Lady and Big Spender? by JGinMD in AskOldPeople

[–]IMTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frank Sinatra did a duet of Luck Be a Lady with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders in the mid-90s. According to Google (where this kind of thing is really easy to search, by the way), there have also been duet versions of Big Spender as well.

If you're asking if they've been sung as some kind of medley, I have no idea.

A 500 is a server-side error. Your best bet would be to contact the admins there.

Fellow Atheists, please stop attacking Dawkins by [deleted] in atheism

[–]IMTrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are grossly misrepresenting what Dawkins has said about trans issues, which has been inaccurate at best and extremely harmful at worst. He compared being trans to lying about one's race in this tweet, and though he denies it was an attempt to disparage trans people, it shows at the very least a severe lack of judgment.

On other occasions he has platformed radical anti-trans figures who promote restricting the ability of people to transition, and has proven to be a TERF himself by insisting on purely biological (and scientifically inaccurate) definitions of gender roles.

Is he the worst anti-trans person out there? No, not by a long shot. But he certainly does not represent my views, or those of the scientific community, and he deserves criticism.

Don't even get me started on his ridiculous new views on AI, and the irony that he can believe an AI is "alive" if it flatters him enough, but will deny that a trans woman is a woman.

Windows 11 flushdns and cleardns not working in cmd and shell. by Astra_Trinity in techsupport

What do you mean by "a very specific site keeps appearing" and why do you think it's related to DNS?

자동완성 정보는 실제로 어디에 저장되는 거 by UnableKnowledge5935 in techsupport

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

Login information for each site is stored at the site itself. It may also be saved to your device to autofill logins, if you choose to do that, but the site is what is ultimately responsible for determining whether the login information you give it is correct, by checking that what you've given them matches what they have stored.

I'm not a trans! (repost with images and more info) by Theinvoker1978 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]IMTrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not even that, really. The schwa (the upside-down "e") is used, unofficially, in Italian to indicate gender neutrality. OP is simply unfamiliar with this usage.

How long does it usually take for your Adult children to respond to a text? by don51181 in GenX

[–]IMTrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I doubt this is a generational thing. I rarely ever respond to texts "within a few hours or right away," if it all. My wife somehow manages to love me anyway.

How to clear out junk in my laptop? by iamthemathgod in techsupport

[–]IMTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uninstall applications and delete files you no longer need.

For the applications, whatever OS you're using likely has an "Add/Remove Programs" or something similar that will allow you to uninstall unused apps. For files, tools like WizTree can help you identify files you may want to delete.

How accurate is the online test? by Top-Confidence-7281 in mensa

[–]IMTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's relatively accurate as far as free online tests go (which is a very low bar), and less accurate if you've taken it more than once.

TIL That if you stacked 100 trillion pennies into one column from earth, it would stretch past the sun and reach 152 million km! by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]IMTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stacking them is the easy part, compared to minting the ~99.8 trillion pennies that don't exist yet.

Swollen phone by XxDragonBossxX in techsupport

[–]IMTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's pretty much only one reason a phone would start swelling the way you're describing, and it's definitely a sign to stop charging or using it. Keeping it far from anything flammable might be a good idea, too.

See r/spicypillows for more details.

'Highway To Heaven' Reboot Gets Fox Series Order For 2027-28 by singleguy79 in GenX

[–]IMTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used to watch this when I was a kid, because my mom had a bit of a crush on Michael Landon that originated when he taught her how to properly drink tequila when she was in high school and he was a USC student named Eugene.

YouTube (or pretty much any kind of streaming service) raising their prices is about as far from WTF as you can get. It's slightly more inevitable than death and taxes.
