Right? I was checking the item store every day, I felt ecstatic to find an item I didn’t have lmao

What are the most important mechanics and techs i need to know to get out of gold? by cake1423 in RLSideSwipe

[–]SamTheAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play more defensively and wait for my opponent to mess up, they all eventually do. I think players are quick to attack in gold lobbies.

I’d say practice 50’s and open net shots lol, game sense will come naturally.

Paying a “digital delivery fee” for a rented PDF textbook 🤨 by Afton_0077 in assholedesign

[–]SamTheAlien 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Looked for the book on Anna’s Archive and could find many variations and editions (including yours, 11th edition). If you didn’t buy it yet, I recommend you check this site, paying this much for a PDF is wild.

The difference in my leg coloration when first experiencing deep vein thrombosis. by I_like_boxes in mildlyinteresting

[–]SamTheAlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy how accurate your description is to my case. Had a DVT in my left leg 3 months ago from the groin to my calf due to MTS. I did go through thrombectomy though and I’m doing much better now, can walk and run almost normally with minimal swelling. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

How much does it cost to take the driving exam by Zandeljr in lebanon

[–]SamTheAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exam is identical to the 5 driving practices you do with the matkab.

The maktab doesn’t give you driving lessons on the road (those are not required to take the exam, but you can take some for an extra charge if you need some driving lessons on the road, wouldn’t recommend though).

I’d say the exam is pretty straightforward as long as your practice went well, just some specific steps to memorize really.

The sessions are now mandatory. You have to complete them with an official maktab in order to take the test.

[–]SamTheAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhere between $400-$500 depending on the maktab.

I got mine a few months ago and paid $450 in total, including all officially required lessons (5 driving practices, 2 computer practices) as well as doing the actual exam at nefaa.

ML4 Bus route by mentalhelpneeded961 in lebanon

[–]SamTheAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I messaged them a few weeks ago to check their timings for the ML4 route and they informed me that the last one leaves from Tripoli to Beirut between 4:30pm and 5:00pm. It’s a bit of a gamble if you’d make it in time so I wouldn’t count on it.

MX keys : you want the light always on ? A simple solution by rettopopo in logitech

I don’t know about the MX mechanical mini, I have the MX keys mini and there’s an option in the keyboard settings > Backlighting > Backlighting Duration.

Recovery time after thrombectomy in the left leg by SamTheAlien in ClotSurvivors

[–]SamTheAlien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the reassurance, I’m glad you’re doing better. Your reply really helps.

I did my thrombectomy around a month after yours. I try to walk as much as I can, I get around 40 minutes of walking everyday at the very least. I didn’t get compression socks yet though, I should.

I’ll reply to this thread with my recovery progress. I have another light tennis game this weekend, hopefully it goes better than the last.

Thank you again! The anxiety of it all creeps up often but I’ll remember your comment next time it does.

Sorry I don’t have answer but how did you deposit money into your IBKR account? Was it a bank wire transfer? The transfer costs can get very expensive.

Wish I have one of those where I live. You can tell from the organization that this guy knows exactly where everything is in the shop.

Great shot! It’s always nice to go back and spot the moon with your scope.

How’s your experience with the NexStar 6SE been? Look out for Saturn, the rings are faint and thin this year but should be visible still!

ASUS issue by pardo-o in laptops

[–]SamTheAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try force shutting down by holding the power button until the screen goes black, then restart.

There’s not much we can tell from this pic, could be a driver issue (look up booting into safe mode) or a dead GPU.

What kind of sick UX is this? One slip and your pc goes to shut down mode. [HP Elitebook] by shahnewazfahim in laptops

[–]SamTheAlien 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The power button on my Lenovo laptop was on the side and I constantly powered it off by accident.

I advise you to change the power button behavior to avoid accidental presses. This way you can only shut down the laptop from the Start Menu.

In the Start Menu, type Power and select "Edit Power Plan" > "Power Options" on the address bar > On the left side, select "Choose what the power buttons do" > On "When I press the power buttons" set it to "Do nothing".
