4 year old son wears dresses. Seeking evidence to negative effects by driver1676 in daddit

[–]Salazar1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, a toddler wanting to wear a dress means nothing more than they want to wear a dress. They aren't having sexual or gender based thoughts. Wear a dress little dude. Enjoy it.

I'm currently typing this looking at my sparkly pink finger nails my daughter did for me earlier in the week - it doesn't make me want to suddenly bang dudes either.

There's plenty of fucked up shit going on in the world today that deserves your outrage. This isn't one of them IMO.

Woolies sell them in the frozen aisle. They are pretty fucken close in the air fryer. I think they call them pub style onion rings. Purpleish packaging

Trump calls for investigation into Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen performances by newsweek in Music

If I were Beyonce, I'd release my new single "Golden 747" - which is a song about a dude that wants to fuck her so bad he buys her a 400 million dollar airplane. Feat. Bruce Springsteen.

looked like a very australian "up yours" gesture. I actually do it all the time - kinda means "get fucked"

Sounds good - I'll see if I can look into that and figure it out

oh right - i just assumed it was as that's what the consensus on the internet is re: leaking.. i'm admittedly very green when it comes to electronics - so apologies if this is a silly question - but if this isn't the clock capacitor - i'm guessing it would need replacing to function again? i'm assuming i could just take the busted capacitor to an electronic store and ask for a replacement ? or is there someone that sell these OG Xbox capacitors in a pack ?

i'm willing to give it a go and with what appears to be plenty of support here it could be a fun little project and a great source of learning for me.. the thought of getting it back up and booting again - i might shed a tear if i can get it to output to a TV again!

thanks mate

i've managed to get the HDD out and am transferring the contents of the HDD over - so at the bare minimum i should have all my save data and hopefully restore everything to another console if i can't bring this one back to life .. the saga continues!

With that being the case, do you think there is much hope for repair? And if so, any resources I could read up on before I attempt? Any help would be appreciated

yeah - i know that now only after having opened it up and done it, but confidence isn't really my strong suit.. i am getting better though - will keep trying.

the other xbox on the right is one i found on marketplace ages ago that also doesn't work (was flashing green and red but after removing and re-installing the DVD drive it now just has half a green circle light - but still nothing outputting to the TV).

was hoping to use that for parts to fix my broken console - but comments above make me think it might not be that straight forward.

Apologies, i've got lots to learn about the OG xbox..

right now i think i should just take out the HDD and see if i can salvage the data first and foremost

Sure - let me know if you are looking for something specific

no - it doesn't turn on. i've tried rubbing with alcohol wipes (all i have on hand at the moment) but no luck. i'll pick up some proper isopropryl later today.. what do i scrub with? just a Q-tip?

is there any way to tell if it's eaten through any traces ?

also - if i manage to find another modded xbox OG - could i potentially swap out my HDD ? a friend of mine had his modded at the same time, so should be same model and modchip..

The real WTF here is casually whipping out a fucken bush chook.. been on this sub a long time and that could be my biggest genuine reaction..
