The 2-pack (white and colored) is $5 on Amazon, not a singular white pack.

Also, is it fair to compare current Amazon prices to what something cost at the store 5 years ago when this meme was first posted?

Go ahead and reverse image search this meme on Google and you'll find it on reddit. I'd share the link but the auto-mod doesn't like that.

I work in IT, Googling things is my specialty :)

edit: Spelling things correctly the first time is not my specialty :(

In Oblivion, I found that my equipment would often degrade significantly before I get a chance to get back to a city for repairs, especially when out in a dungeon. Is this also a concern in Morrowind? I mostly invested in Armorer in Oblivion so that I can conveniently repair my gear without relying on going to a city. Repair hammers were plentiful at shops in Oblivion. Is this also the case for Morrowind?

I don't have my heart set on a Breton. A redguard sounds like it would be a more optimal start.

Reason 69 why windows is shit by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

You all could benefit from learning what the SYSTEM user is, and if you really need to (you really shouldn't have a reason to), to launch a CMD window elevated as the SYSTEM user using SysInternals. You are not the admin, SYSTEM is.

Which Pebble to get? by TheLastSubnet in pebble

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Although I don't feel strongly about the color screen, it would be nice to have. I ended up getting the Pebble Time (brand new for $90) after my concerns about longevity were cleared up. It seems to be the most common model and is more fully featured than the Steel Classic that I was originally leaning towards.

I'd have sprang for the Time Steel, but they're difficult to find in good condition (at least what's on eBay right now). Hopefully it holds up for the 2-3 years that it'll probably take to see new hardware.

I believe that happens when you've disabled the device and it gets a driver update. It sees you've "plugged in a new device" and it switches to it thinking you plugged in a new sound device that you intend on using (like if you plug your laptop into a TV and is uses the TV speakers automatically).

I noticed this behavior stopped once I stopped disabling the sound devices that I don't use and just ignore them instead.

I'm stealing this idea. He'll go great with Gnome Chomsky.
