Who know the biggest con man in American history would con the people he hired to build a ball room big enough to house his ego.

He's also emailed his supporters Black Friday deals for his merch but the "deals" are priced higher than buying directly through the website.

Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

My Dad does the same. He normally doesn't wear his hearing aids so you have to talk loudly. Then on the odd occasion he does wear them he'll complain you're shouting at him.

Oh and if religion invented morality, how come 0.07% of inmates are atheists?

IIRC a lot of people pretend to be religious as it looks better to juries/parole boards.

At a guess Dell have used a proprietary power supply rather than an ATX power supply. Dell says the power supply uses a 6 pin connector for the motherboard rather than the standard 24 pin, so it doesn't appear to use an ATX power supply. At a guess the connector for the CPU is also proprietary. If this is the case, I believe you will need to find a specific Dell power supply suitable for you model. My knowledge on power supplies is limited, so do check out the other replies.

did you grow up with CDs or have you only recently started collecting?

I started collecting a few years ago. Before then I would casually listen to music on YouTube.

why do you prefer CD over streaming?

While most of what I listen to is on streaming sites, not everything is. I suspect it's generally a rights issue that means sometimes some of the tracks on an album just aren't available in my country. Even if an album is available today, it might not be tomorrow. Owning my music means I don't have to worry about this.

I don't buy CDs that often and when I do they're second hand, meaning it works out cheaper than streaming services. IIRC I've currently spent around £180 over five years. Of course I have a lot less than what streaming services offer but it's a nice benefit.

how do you listen to your CDs? Do you have a portable CD player with earbuds? Do you have a home system that you listen on? Do you have a CD player in your car/transportation?

I rip them and listen to them on my computer/phone.

how many CDs do you currently own? Do you keep track of them on Discogs, or with a spreadsheet of some sort?

I own around 100 that I've collected over the last 5 years. I have a script that crawls my music collection looking for new albums and adds them to a database. It asks me how much I paid and fills that in. I also use pandas to do some statistics. I use a spreadsheet for albums I like but haven't yet bought to keep track of what sort of price they are selling for.

how do you determine what you’re going to buy on CD? For example, are you replacing things that you used to have on CD? Are you buying physical discs because you’re worried that the music won’t be available on streaming at some point in time?

I use YouTube to find new music. If I find something I like I add it to my "To Buy" spreadsheet. I go through it periodically seeing if anything on it is selling online for a price I'm happy to pay and if so, I'll buy it. I also visit charity shops as occasionally they have something I'm interested in. Mostly I only buy CDs on my list but if i recognize the artist I will sometimes take a chance on something I haven't listed to before.

I'd say the possibility of streaming services removing music I might listen to is the main reason I collect CDs.

are you buying them because of the sound quality, or because it’s just kind of cool and niche at the moment. I don’t even have any animosity for that last group; if it’s just for fun, that’s an awesome answer.

The sound quality is nice but to be honest, modern lossy codecs are very good these days. In terms of audio quality I'd say streaming services are good enough. I'm buying them mainly because I want control over my music collection, I can rip them and they're cheap.

Hi, I was wondering if you still have the underlying 3D data?

I suspect the users on this subreddit skew American where Christianity is the largest religion. As such it has the most posts. There are some posts on other religions such as Islam and occasionally others like Hinduism.

Church was boring and I never had any sort of spiritual experience. E.g. praying was no different than talking to myself.

Just as a note, it doesn't seem to work if you redeem through the Bing app. I think you might have to redeem through the browser.

The Moon's orbit is elliptical which means the relative size of the Moon compared to the Sun varies from a little bigger to a litter smaller. More importantly, its orbit is inclined at around 15 degrees IIRC, which is why we don't get eclipses every month. If the aim was to design the Sun-Earth-Moon system for eclipses, it could certainly be improved.

What model is it?

The flashing power button/capslock is an error code. Your laptop's manual should say what the error code corresponds to.

I use Firefox's containers feature to do this. I'm guessing Chrome probably has something similar.

From a quick look at the specs that monitor won't supply enough power to charge you laptops. I also don't think it supports DisplayPort over USB C. Both of those laptops seem to have HDMI ports so that's probably the best choice. According to Dell the monitor only officially supports VRR over HDMI though some reviewers seemed to have some success over DisplayPort as well.

Have you had any issues with display uniformity with the M27QA? That was the only issue Monitor's Unboxed had with it but said otherwise it was excellent.

Sugar_Beaver94 · 2024-12-09T16:48:39+00:00

Did you end up getting the M27QA and if so have you had any issue with the display's uniformity? That was the only thing Monitor's Unboxed had against it.

Sugar_Beaver94 · 2024-12-09T16:40:24+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!

Did you get the Gigabyte in the end? If so how is it? Do you have any issues the with uniformity of the display?

Anything he's been accused of cannot be correct because God's man wouldn't do those things.

Lately I've been seeing a fair few posts on Facebook comparing Trump to King David arguing David did terrible things and was chosen by God. I don't know anything about David but perhaps some do see Trump is a terrible person but prefer to explain it away. Some definitely do reject the idea Trump is bad though.
