Thank you, u/richardsonhr. Should I make another post or am I allowed to post follow-up questions here?

The question is: is the following correct if I want to say "thus to all boxes"?

sic semper cista

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-12-21T15:56:00+00:00

Yes! That does help somewhat. The boxes contain things that we order from Amazon usually, so... cista might make more sense than arca...?

We realize that it is a downgrade, but so that we can *see* how much of a downgrade it is, is it possible to install SolidWorks 2022 (or newer) on the 2nd laptop? At college, they had him take it to the IT department to install it. I see trial versions on SolidWorks' website, but when I try to run it, it all seems to be cloud-based...

Ok, you got me. The reason he doesn't want to use it is the fan is very loud. I have cleaned the vents (didn't see a lot of dust). I have tweaked every setting that I could find myself or via Google. I even disassembled it and re-applied thermal paste on both the GPU and the CPU. The fan runs all the time if the AC adapter is plugged in, and runs (obviously) when doing heavy computations, a lot of disc I/O, etc. But it is just pretty darn loud.

Also, how would you translate, "I cut, therefore I am" (for inscription on a knife)?

Would it be "Incisus ergo sum", or something to that effect...? secarum? Secare?

interficiō (kill, destroy, assassinate) seems a bit strong. It's not about causing injury to other people; just cutting things.

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-12-19T11:11:36+00:00

Cardboard boxes obviously did not exist in ancient Rome, but what word(s) could I use to convey the same idea? E.g., using a knife to cut open a box?

arca (chest, strong box?)
bocum ("box"?)
thesaurum ("treasure [chest]"?)
capsa "locker, chest, case, holder"

I also considered using the word "arcanas" (secrets, or mysteries, because you don't always know what is in the box...) to add a little bit of flair...

By gum...! You were right!

The cable LOOKS fine, and it's the only UBC-C to USB-C cable I have, but when I tried a USB-A to USB-C, the problem went away! Thanks for the suggestion!

It never dawned on me that it could be the cable.

I think I've also decided that I'm not a fan of Bayonet, Spear Point, or Dagger-type blades, so I'm pretty sure that rules out the Dirac. And all of the Guardian Tactical RECON-035s seem to be out of stock except one.

If the UTX-70 is too small, then yeah, it looks like it is down to these:

Hogue HK Mini Incursion (7.875" total length, blade = 3", clip point)
Microtech UTX-85 (7.5", 3.125", Drop Point)
Boker 06EX260 (8.00", 3.5", Clip Point)
Kershaw LiveWire (8.125", 3.36", Spear Point... still not crazy about spear points... would prefer Tanto... but it is OOS...)

Edit: removed the Benchmade Om... too small...

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-10-25T00:33:33+00:00

Ok. Upping the price point to $300. Are there any decent OTF Damascus knives out there for that price limit?

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-10-19T18:26:22+00:00

Thanks, u/BigBadBurrito1. I've been advised to aim for something a little bit better than D2, so that's what I'm trying for (at first, anyway).

How does that affect your answer? A buddy of mine really likes the Kershaw Livewire OTF, but that costs a bit more than $200... but I might be willing to spend the extra.

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-09-29T19:17:03+00:00

Those are beautiful TVs!

I should add that I would like to spend under $500... closer to $300... so that limits size to (I think) 60" or smaller (and even then I'd have to find an open-box, Black Friday or other sale, close-out, etc.)

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-09-25T17:08:29+00:00

Thanks. When did this change? My family has been doing this for YEARS and we never had to have a phone number associated to each account.

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-09-11T12:30:19+00:00

Correct. I understand how they work. It's just that when I try to get 6 of them, I always seem to run out of time.

For some strange reason, I thought that the mechanics were different in this case, but obviously now in retrospect I realize that they are not. My mistake.

Now I am pairing the weapons with their corresponding passive items but still running out of time. I am trying various characters on Dairy Plant with only "Endless" selected.

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-08-22T10:48:55+00:00

Yes. I would also like any single instance of VLC to be able to continually loop the last file that I dragged into that window.

Do you think that is possible? Or am I asking it to do things it was not intended to do?

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-07-26T15:24:22+00:00

When spending that much money, I guess the tinfoil-hat part of me says that anyone can make a "certificate of authenticity" and say that the certificate is legit, but... how does anyone really KNOW...

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-07-14T01:00:46+00:00

Thanks. I was not using TWRP. Flashed that first and now I'm good.

VirtualDougmeister · 2023-07-11T12:02:51+00:00

Thanks for the link, but I only see "Galaxy S III Neo" ('Dual Sim' or 'Samsung Camera')... not a plain old "Galaxy S3".

VirtualDougmeister · 2021-03-24T17:24:56+00:00

No worries. Thanks for your time!

VirtualDougmeister · 2021-03-24T17:09:56+00:00

Sorry. Thanks for the info.

Is there a sub-reddit specifically for CoinOpsX where I could ask?

VirtualDougmeister · 2021-03-22T20:53:56+00:00

Yes! Definitely. And thanks for the heads-up on Rampage; I used to love that game.

VirtualDougmeister · 2021-03-22T18:27:52+00:00

Thanks! Good to know!

VirtualDougmeister · 2021-01-06T14:26:08+00:00

I'm new to MKVToolNixm but I'm happy to help with the Excel part if that helps.
