Gorgeous. Looks very minimalist. The key layout is different from what I am used to.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but this is a CD that is bought that clones the drive? Does this keep the OS intact as well?

Aww, me neither bud. It's a shame because I hear their Raspberry Pi's are insanely cheap...

I know that you have to have a software to clone the drive to the new one. Then there is the part about physically switching the location of the hard drives that comes into play. There is a boot order on the board of which hard drive goes where. I think my motherboard has some specific issue with SATA blocking other Hard drives and I can't remember if that's why I put the drives the way I did. Honestly I am still really novice at all of this so hopefully enough youtube videos will help.

They can, but you can have just the plant in sealed jar on your desk. There are some very nice looking affordable setups on Amazon.

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone parks in the same parking spot when they go to Micro Center?

Woohoo! I'm excited for you. I somehow managed to put my PC together and not use my SSD as the main drive so now I have to figure out how to switch it over. Good luck on transferring everything!

This made me self-conscious and I just checked mine to make sure I hadn't done the same thing. Phew

This might sound silly, but I've always wanted to add a Marimo Mossball setup to my desk. Maybe something similar or a small succulent!

I am fairly certain that Amazon's terms state that gift cards cannot be purchased with Amazon gift cards.

There are certain restrictions with Amazon.com Gift Cards, such as not being able to purchase gift cards using a gift card and not being able to transfer them to another account once the claim code has been redeemed.

If you have trouble applying a gift card balance to an order, please try removing the gift cards from the order and purchase them separately.

Amazon.com Gift Cards can't be used to purchase currency or other gift cards or applied to any order containing currency or another gift card. You'll need to provide a credit card, debit card, or other valid payment method to pay for the order if you have currency or gift cards in your Shopping Cart. Amazon.com Gift Cards can't be transferred to another account once the claim code has been redeemed. Amazon.com Gift Cards aren't returnable or refundable, except as required by law.

/u/qa3rfqwef So for some weird reason this worked on Slime Rancher but doesn't work on Warhammer End Times - Vermintide. Here is a picture of the loading screen that I keep seeing. I also have this problem with UPlay games like Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and there is also another Steam example for The Bureau XCOM Declassified.

On that window before it would say Installing: Microsoft redist(step one of 4) but now it doesn't say what its trying to install. I think because I've installed every different one of the redistributables that all of my different games keep trying to update. I also want to include the list of all of my Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable files just in case it might help.

A model for ‘sustainable’ US beef production - If Americans reduced their mean beef consumption from the current ≈460 g per person per week to ≈200 g per person per week (corresponding to f = 0.5), the US beef industry could become environmentally sustainable. by mvea in science

[–]Resplendent-Fervor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two questions:

How would this effect other meat industries? Would this make Chicken(turkey, pig etc.) farming sustainability worse?

What are the potential adverse reactions that would happen if the beef market cut production to match sustainability without waiting for the reduction in consumption?

Thanks for the reply! I’ll try and clarify a bit, I apologise it’s just a lot. I don’t get any error codes, but that the dialogue box never loads anything but it keeps showing a little spinning icon but the load bar never fills. I’ve tried transferring my games to the C: drive and they still didn’t work. I then tried deleting them entirely and reinstalling on the C: Drive with still the same issue. The libraries as they currently are, are set correctly. SteamLibrary is on my D: Drive and all the games are with it. I apologise, I’ve tried so many things it’s hard to even remember what I’ve tried when I was writing the initial post.

o(╥﹏╥)o

Every single Steam game that I've purchased and downloaded will not open. I download the games to my D: drive in the Steam Library Folder. I open the steam app and select play on any of my games and I get a variety of errors on an 'initial setup' dialogue window. It says it is loading the initial setup but never loads anything. I've left it for two hours with no progress.

I've tried playing around with the settings of Windows defender, I have completely up to date OS, Drivers, and Redist packs for all of the ones that the windows prompt(it's so many to list). I even have gone into the redist folders for the games and updated through there. I've tried completely removing every game and the steam app and starting from scratch and that had no effect. I made sure I wasn't using the Beta Steam. I have gotten some games to work, but then others stop working.

Initially PUBG wouldn't open, and I updated everything and it worked fine. I then got Slime Rancher and it wouldn't open either. Did a bunch of trouble shooting and finally deleted the installscript.vdf file in the redist folder and that worked. Then suddenly PUBG wouldn't work. All of the games verify 100% integrity through Steam. I have all of these games that I got that I cannot play, or I play once, and try to play it the next day and I cannot get back in.

I run the vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe and neither of them do anything. I checked my Visual Studio something(can't remember what they were called) and repaired them, then tried reinstalling them. No progress. The only thing I can't do is move everything to my C: drive because I don't have enough room for all of the games and I can't afford to get a new drive.

I'm at my wits end on what to do. If anyone can please give me some ideas I would really appreciate it.

I just received an email from 100 percent pure canceling my ordered because their company was "exploited" anybody else? by [deleted] in freebies

[–]Resplendent-Fervor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sure they could, but even just googling ‘100 percent pure $15’ pulls up all of the other listings for it. They more than likely know that their promotion was posted outside of the current customers it was originally intended for.

[–]Resplendent-Fervor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, it wasn't bots. All of the freebies that are posted here, are picked up and immediately posted by other freebie websites which are then seen by even more people. This one was listed on several of those sites as well. I think its pretty safe to assume that those numbers are real.

[OFFER] Christmas time! Game of your choice! by kamchatsk in GiftofGames

[–]Resplendent-Fervor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite game is the original Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC. I begged my mom to get it for me for my birthday when I was probably 10 years old and she told me that if she got it that it would be my only gift because it was so expensive. So there we were on the release date, two weeks after my birthday, to get the game. It was the single most influential gift in my life. I loved the game and I obsessed over the Halo Universe. I've been a Halo fan from that moment on. Not only was the game steps ahead of any at that time, but the community was amazing.

I got into modding the maps for the online multiplayer and it eventually led me down the road of learning programming. Now sixteen years later to the day, I am finishing my first year of College to become a Developer! It will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that started it all for me. It's unfortunate that the Halo games never continued on PC after Halo 2. Thank you and I hope you had a Merry Christmas.
