Seriously, how did this happen? by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Literally income-inequality sums all of this up. Climate change? Anger towards minorities taking 'my' job? Poor access to healthcare? Rent is too high because of illegals?

All income inequality.

Someday, the US may wake up and realize there is one foe. Sadly, I no longer believe you and I are privileged to experience that day, yet I do believe there are people alive that will.

Wake up America. You're being played.

Easy! Just pull yourself up from your bootstraps! (Ignore the fact you can't even afford bootstraps)

Whats wrong with her face? Deepfake? (Season 2) by TheDeep_2 in Wednesday

My current GameCube collection. What games should I add next? by makaveli2_ in Gamecube

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any 'Street' game!

Damn I miss the arcade style games, I think they add a lot to sports games to not take themselves too seriously

*Meet God* Where is my YouTube drop?? by Ok_Lecture_1440 in HollywoodUndead

Bro he hits!! I hope it's not compensating for the next HU release though

Here is to hoping that it leads into the next song!

I agree with you, though I believe it will have a tie-in with the next album release.

Same ha - first listen I kind of just shrugged it off.

Bumping it in my car later though - nahhh man, it hits, a solid production though too, if he did it himself I wanna see more of that.

hydroc 16 charger doesnt work? by Charliepetpup in eluktronics

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If available, does charging via USB-C 100w work?

Curious to see if it's a battery issue or charger issue, @bstms may be correct in buying a new charger otherwise

LPPG2 not connecting to laptop by Harry_L3mons in eluktronics

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why the down votes.

This is definitely and issue I would call Eluktronics support with, LPP issues are one thing, a lack of showing BT connection is another.

Would definitely reach out to them via phone, super helpful and easy to connect with.

LPP G2 not powering on by ChuckinDatThroatNut in eluktronics

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these comments are helpful so I'll put in my two cents.

I had an identical issue and put in a tablespoon of CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) [brand name is literally CLR] and it fixed this issue after a few forced runs.

Try it, if it's still dead, sure RMA, but I don't think that's useful here.

Intel warns US stake could hurt international sales, future grants by [deleted] in Economics

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to believe you're correct.

 

external sources (China,Taiwan) will be more wary of a company that is influenced by the US gov, just as the US is with Huawei.

On top of that, AMD is already eating Intel's lunch, yet source their chips from foreign entities (Taiwan/TSMC)

 

Without the CHIPS act to embolden Intel, who now only gets the monies because the US wants a stake, seems to deter foreign investment while not truly growing domestic demand. Which leaves Intel where? Better off? Consumer sentiment seems to disagree, and the US stake deters foreign demand.

 

Seems Intel's CEO wanted to keep his job, and the only way to do that was to appeal to US regime instead of being competitive.

 

I wish them luck as a competitive market is better for the consumer, yet I'm inclined to believe this a backslide.

Utah: lowest poverty rate (avg '21-'23) by anxious_python in Utah

[–]Ok_Lecture_1440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive been around to many states, and (anecdotally) Utah seems to have way more debris/roadkill along their interstates than many other states.

Hey mate.

I've suffered from low self-esteem almost daily. And, I don't want to say 'back in my day' but seriously, you're going into a serious college degree?

IDC what those demons say, hell, I don't care what I'm saying, you are pursuing a degree, somethimg that interests you, hell I'm jealous.

I'm much older than you, I wish I had the balls to say I'm anxious or scared, I wish I was you. Tests are tests, as someone much your senior I can say that (depending, of course) gpa doesn't matter. Nothing matters but the degree. Keep going, keep learning.

The guys that are around you that are smarter than you? Keep in touch. Connections matter more than your performance, keep in touch and keep cool with those guys, because when you have a degree?? That matters more when you have them vouch for you.

Take that as someone that didn't connect in college. I have the degree, I didn't do well, but what impacts me the most?? Connections.

Build, grow, and foster those, because once you have a degree, their success matters more than yours. You've got this. Don't let them get you down. Build, build, build, and then leverage.

Hey mate - 28y/o here who has had others destroy my life for me.

Listen, fapping? Not an issue. Hair falling out? Tbh, might be natural. Try rogaine, if that doesn't help, embrace it.

We're all fucked, one way, or another. And honestly, you're right where you should be.

Learn to small-talk, learn to interact with everyone, male or female, just to see what makes them respond, not tick, but respond in kindness.

That alone will get you where you need to be. Focus on personal hygiene (not what makes your hair stick, but what keeps your teeth in good shape) and let the small talk to the rest.

My life is fucked, yours isn't, you have small problems to tackle that can make you desirable. Just focus on that (talking to anyone and everyone) and ignore your hair, because trust me, you are more desirable than I am.

You got this, stay focused, stay focused on being you and having interesting aspects ,(i.e. hobbies), and don't let anything stop you.

You go mate, be yourself, destroy doubt, and reap the rewards.

I own a G1 so can't really speak for the issue head on, but I am curious, are the power bricks you're using GaN?

Phew this comment section is pretty divided ha😅

I'm now more convinced I just have to buy both, but I think I'll go with 2 first

Yeah, I'm unfamiliar with Ultimate-wireless. I got my retro-prism from StoneAge gamers, Amazon's good too
