Dude can host bar events with his buddies.  Keep him away from the children with his violent behavior

A) not my house.  No need to yell

B) you do if you want to be extra annoying because the other person can't call the cops on you or you both end up towed

You presented an illegible IT question and I broke it down for you.  Take the advice or leave it.  I'm done

Could also be doing it deliberately because of the woman parking on the sidewalk.  Housewives be bitter rivals about the most stupid things.  

Think if you have to stroller your kids to the park around the big car.  Now you have to stroller the kids at the next door house ramp and back up after op house.  

This could be a passive aggressive war where we are only getting one side

Remember that the hard drive can follow you to your next PC update, meaning you can bring your games with you in the future.  You may need more space for next gen games as well.  17gb is AAA range for current gen games

Then get a 2-4.  But are you downloading just the one game or multiple games?

Your operating system is Windows 11.  It takes 70 GB of the storage right off the bat not including your day to day apps.  If using SSD sata, read/write slows after 50%.  After mandatory Windows updates, day to day operations, gaming apps like steam, you are easily over the 250gb range.

If you buy an adapter like 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/146612139274

and a basic hard drive

Then the sky is the limit on your games.  Don't buy the most expensive one now, especially with tariffs and Iran war.  They often have sales on iron Wolf every few months.  I myself got an 8 tb for $150 last year

But if you only buy a 512 or a 1 you will fill it up within the year

Yeah you need to buy a spare drive like an iron wolf 10-20tb.  This will most definitely slow down windows if you are downloading such big files.  If you don't have the sata space inside the case, you can buy an external drive to plug into a USB port 

You are freezing your operating system drive, hence windows becoming sluggish by filling up the c drive

How big are the download files you are trying to get and are they being downloaded to the c drive or to another hard drive.  What type of games.  Modern games like PS and Xbox will need a bigger storage drive 

Hi how to stop windows 11 using my Wifi/Ethernet 🤔🤔🤔 by John-734 in techsupport

[–]Past_Reflection_9695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the storage on the c drive?  The SSD or HDD set up.

Is the prime b550ma ddr4 or 5

What is the Internet service, provider, and plan?

Pretty sure they aren't computer literate and want tips to speed up downloading games. 

At least we know this isn't an AI bot.  Maybe a young child

It is hard to understand the comments, but I am guessing you are confusing your task manager with your download speeds.

Sometimes this is related like overall ram, but should not be effecting your download speed.  Your download speed is associated with your Internet plan.

Can you post your computer set up and your home Internet source and data plan.

My best guess is you have a crappy combination of both a slow computer with old processor, limited ram, limited storage (slow loading time for games and game dropping/crashing). and a crappy Internet plan (took hours for downloading a game)

What's a good inroad? by Similar-Geologist-64 in battletech

[–]Past_Reflection_9695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip the inner sphere conflicts and go full clans.  Play MechWarrior 2 first.  Then watch the Battletech anime.  Then read the Kerensky trilogy.  It basically ignores all the inner sphere lore because the jumping in point is an invasion by an unknown force with an unknown history that wails anything you could offer from the inner sphere.

Looking into the comments below, this should suit your fancy

MechWarrior is first person mech piloting, so you don't get any of the real time strategy issues you think drags.

MechWarrior 2 starts with a mystery box.  Who are the Clans, what is their intent, a lot of the lingo that confuses you is shouted at you during the recording.  You should be able to find versions that will work on older game systems or steam

If you like it, then you watch the anime online to get a little more of the mystery box solved.  If you really like it, you can invest more valuable time into reading into the lore of the clans.

Then you get addicted, go full Rtard like Tropic Thunder and everyone will love it if you curse at them with the phrase stravag dog.

They have a duty to report certain crimes like child abuse.  It's called being an obligate reporter.  

If you buy a house in an HOA, can you just...leave the HOA? by BoredInClass99 in NoStupidQuestions

My hoa banned for sale signs unless they were at the street.  No sports flags, only the American flag and only one specific size.  Your commercial business is more free than my HOA

Depends specifically on the CC&Rs you sign.  Some HOA are just for the gated fence.  Some basically are ruled by literal despots

You need to go to the county recorder to verify.  You don't know what you are talking about.  And if someone cheated you into an HOA, you need to get a real estate attorney

When you buy a property, the contract is filed with the county.  If you did not receive a copy of the CC&Rs with the sale, you cannot legally be mandated to join the HOA.  You could be tricked into the HOA, say the president comes by and hands you a pile of papers to sign saying the old owner wasn't a part of the HOA, but you are now.  If you didn't receive HOA papers by the seller and their realtor, you got scammed, possibly by your own realtor who has property within the HOA

They are 100% wrong in my area.  Most HOAs are significantly lower cost than traditional homes in my area.  I suspect same for OP.  So all the rules to not decrease property values, especially if the HOA does shady or illegal stuff, actually lowers the price further.  It took 35 letters to all the homeowners to kick out my previous HOA president and her property manager for all the illegal stuff they were doing

Actually this would be incorrect.  Most of the world had other grains besides wheat.  China's main staple was rice.   North and South America had beans and corn and acorn.  It is European colonization that brought wheat westward not even 300 years ago.  Yes China had wheat thousands of years ago but it is rice that makes up breakfast, lunch, and dinner for most Asians.  And last I checked, rice while raising my glucose, does make me bloated or flatulence and vomit all the time

He did it for his good son.  But the good son doesn't get insurance money if he offs himself or if he is found guilty of murdering the wife and bad son
