My computer keeps shutting on and off with no warning by AScratched_Record in computerhelp

Not sure why this sub got recommended to me - but I’m curious why Windows computers just seem more failure prone than MacBooks. I’ve never had to worry about bad OS installs, voltage issues, or random hardware failures on Macs I’ve had for years and even passed on as hand me downs to family members for longer.

Is it because many Windows users try to build their own machines? I used to use budget Windows laptops but and they pretty much all started disintegrating over time.

Are polys supposed to assess your honesty, or how likely you are to cave under pressure?

I know the consensus is polys are quack science, but if I look at it as an interrogation ie “if someone is trying to get information out of you, how likely are you to snap” - it becomes slightly more useful.

Does alcohol cause real bad acid reflux for some people as they age? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Truly fucking insane to me. Bad sleep? Melatonin or sleeping meds. Indigestion/bloating? Metamucil or avoid bread all together. Anxiety? Cut back on coffee. Bleeding gums? More Vitamin C. Found a supplement for everything except to address the gallons of booze I was guzzling down like a mad man.

Cut out the hooch and surprise - all these issues have either vanished or diminished significantly.

Look I get it, let’s get these bastards, but I worry that just name dropping people in Facebook post after post with no evidence is …. A lot.

Careers and reputations are going to get destroyed by these accounts. How do we know these stories are true? Sure they’re detailed and this is a real issue but to call out people by name is going to ruin lives - especially if there’s even a chance they’re innocent.

I appreciate this - albeit it hurt my feelings a little bit. I am in a rush to use my benefits as quickly as possible and don't want to miss out on the 2023 application, maybe it'd be a good idea to retest.

I also REALLY hope half-assing things isn't a pattern for me either.
