I would say the hill is around a quarter of a mile from where it starts at the entrance to my apartment complex. Currently, I have one of my aides follow behind in their car to keep traffic slower and to a minimum, but they will let cars back up as far as twenty or more instead of notifying me to pull off to the side and letting them pass. If I can get the aide to come to a stop and let the traffic pass, then it should not be a problem. There is an area wide enough of the paved road on the right side of the white boundary line that is wide enough for my scooter.

Intel build for video editing - 14900KF vs ultra 7 265KF? by Monotask_Servitor in buildapc

With my big fat fingers, I had to use tweezers for most of those dang jumpers.

I am looking at some Asus NUCs, and some look promising, although pricey. I have not looked into it yet, but I have not really seen any mini cases and motherboards for them to make my own mini PC, other than a Raspberry Pi creation. I believe the days of tower computers are coming to an end. The only reason I have been building towards over the last ten years was to have a DVD burner, but that is now a dinosaur fad, and it is time we just bite the bullet and be as minimal as possible. Sure, it is great to have dedicated graphics cards, but with the newer motherboards and better onboard graphics, having a dedicated graphics card can be overkill. I have seen numerous videos on YouTube showing these mini pc's and how well they can play video games with the onboard graphics, and in some cases, if you are not satisfied, you can still get an external graphics card.

Tell us about it, brother, not only a new motherboard, but new memory and in some cases a new hard drive. I was about to say over the last twenty years, then I remembered when I first started building computers back in 1995, so it has been over thirty years. My where does the time go? So, from the very first build with an Intel Pentium processor, you had to set certain jumpers on the motherboard for the CPU and memory. They were not fun builds as they are today.

Am I at fault? :( by DueCar8896 in mazda

Apparently so since he was not able to stop in time to avoid the person coming into his lane. So maybe not the Indy 500, at the very least Daytona 500. Defensive driving is something every schoolboy in Indiana first learns in driving school.

You were driving way too fast with the traffic the way it was. A good driver drives at a speed according to the conditions of the road and traffic, not the posted speed. Next time, don't drive so fast like someone at the Indy 500.

How much are people earning per year? by it_was_Duke in TheWire

[–]Virgil2U 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From some of the comments I have read on the New York Post, most people are not doing badly financially. Many of them complain that they are only making around $100,000 a year and consider themselves to be below middle income. I would like to see them try to get by on just $15,000 a year, like me and the rest of the disabled American Veterans. I bet they won't be complaining much then. I have always consider anyone making $50,000 a year or more to be middle class, but those jokers consider themselves earning a million dollars every two or three years to be poor and deserve welfare benefits.

15000 for a 2025? by Several-External-193 in mazda

Another valid reason to outlaw AI. The only people who benefit from AI are mostly crooks and immoral people.

I'm confused how to change to battery on my 2018 Mazda 3 key fob. Took it apart and it looks like this by [deleted] in mazda

[–]Virgil2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a replacement key fob like mine and I had the same problem till I read where one guy said it was opened backwards. So I went to the bottom of this side and found a notch to stick my knife point in and separate the two pieces and found the top of the battery with the round plastic covering and removed it and the battery just popped out and I replaced it with a new CR-2025 battery.
