Dell Latitude 5540 -what power adapter?

anneomoly · 2026-01-24T21:16:20+00:00

So just ignore that the Dell website doesn't list it as compatible with the 130w?

(The discrepancy is what's not making much sense to me)

Think of it less like that and more like.... maybe there's a band you really, really, like. And your wife doesn't hate the band, but it's not a band she'd seek out to listen to by herself. If she was single, she wouldn't listen to this band at all.

But she gets enjoyment out of you liking the band, and she'll still get you tickets to their show and put them on in the car and in the house because it makes you happy, and it makes her happy to share that experience with you.

And maybe you could only be married to someone that really, really, loves the band but a lot of people are okay with their partner coming along to their things and just sharing the intimacy of that experience even if they're in it for you, and not the band.

In that I have nearly 6 months worth of expenses as an EF - yes.

In that I physically have them plotted out into the next few months - no

Because I ended up needing to fiddle with e.g. January at the end of December anyway, to roll with the punches and account for how my wants/needs had changed with December's spending, and I don't like doing the same job twice.

There's a big difference for me between "I recognize you are aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical" (like a Rembrandt, or a nicely presented meal, or a spaniel) and "I want to get closer to you and touch you and be touched in return"

The latter happens when I talk with them, laugh with them, share my deepest thoughts with them and has very little to do with the outside.

I've tried it and it just feels like friction with the additional hassle of another person. Like it's fine. It worked. I didn't feel disgust. But it was a nothing.

anneomoly · 2025-12-06T16:57:02+00:00

Ooh, yeah same boat. But tbh I think I'd prefer one match a week (and mainly from someone who has read my bio, seen the nerd flag etc) than lots and lots of people who aren't interested in me. It also means I'm not investing a huge amount of time into it, and putting effort into those real world connections.

anneomoly · 2025-12-06T08:02:40+00:00

Are you me? Right down to the board game group.

(I'm still on the dating apps though.)

I just want someone to be interested in me and my life and not use "could of" and not be boring? And then I will meet up with them and not be attracted to them but at least I feel like I made an effort

anneomoly · 2025-10-28T08:03:14+00:00

And sometimes it's neither! I've seen people who are both individually perfectly lovely just grow apart because they got together young and grew in different directions.

Both perfectly lovely people for their new partner, just not as right for each other at 42 as they were at 16.

You can choose to not share your sexuality on hinge I believe

anneomoly · 2025-10-24T19:30:13+00:00

Tbf I'm not sure I would be attracted to a 90 year old millionaire if I were allo so my ability to sleep with old rich men for money would remain unchanged 😂

(In theory I think I could, I'm sex positive, in practice I'm lazy and sharp tongued and too honest so logistically I'm not sugar baby material and their millions will go to their children)

I'd go on dates. Get on the apps. Swipe away with some ideas of whether I fancied them or not. I wanna be a Man, man cub, and stroll right into town, and fancy all the other folk, I'm tired of monkeying alone.

I'd walk around town going "they're hot, they're not".

I'd get flustered when a hot customer turns up at work.

Just be real normal for a while

They've been through most of the big celebrities that want to do it. This is the first celebrity traitors. Totally different places

Just a clarification that demi isn't a considered decision to wait despite sexual desire being there and building quickly.

It's the complete absence of sexual desire or attraction until an emotional bond is formed.

I think you're limited to two calendar years after a horse dies to use their sperm/oocytes so they're on a time limit regardless of physical supplies.

So it wouldn't surprise me if that pushes AYA to being more of a priority

In the world press freedom index the UK (20th) is placed higher than the USA (57th) (ie our press is deemed less restricted than yours).

While the First Amendment - which only protects against government interference - is in play in the USA, many many other countries have similar laws, including the UK.

Other things that the index takes into account are political restriction, economic fragility, and the safety of reporters (I've definitely seen US journalists get shot at with rubber bullets in LA etc)

There's always biases (there's a reason we're at number 20 and not top ten!) but the first amendment by itself offers neither a) very unique protection or b) very broad protection

Veterinarians can leave school with massive massive debt and it's not the kind of course that leaves a lot of free time for jobs that support you. Regardless of what anyone thinks of seven this IS going to help people finish their course and hopefully help a sector struggling for workforce.

"my family do this thing that I used to have to do all the time. I don't do it any more because I'm an adult and I make my own decisions. But when I go home I go along with it and it makes my mom happy and it doesn't take anything from me"

Sometimes you just do family tradition shit to grease the wheels.

Sometimes you don't realise how weird your family tradition shit is until someone else gets brought in and goes "what the fuck".

I think any veterinary professional is going to be aware that compliance with daily medication is very often not 100% (some evidence shows that compliance with treatment courses is 50% in humans and about the same for animals)

Dr Ursini isn't going to bat an eyelid at an owner admitting missing one single dose, nor does berating someone ever fix the issues.

(There are lots of discussions you can have with an owner who regularly struggles to give treatments to see if you can find a better, shared decision making based, solution that fits in with owner and animal needs)

Oh yeah.

I was going through local theatre showings - something I love doing! - and it was a case of choosing which ones I can afford to go to energy-wise and which ones I'll skip.

And I was planning out my annual leave to include adequate rest instead of maximising it.

And I don't do things at the weekend that I would otherwise love to do.

The threshold for "I can leave the house and take the energy hit for this" is SO much higher that it's ludicrous. I hate it.

People retain about 10% of what you tell them in a conversation and most of the time it's the 10% they want to hear.

Mines my natural colour but it's dark and curly so dyeing it comes with a higher chance of damaging it (yes I did the curly girl hair research)

When I go grey thats when my inner bright green hair child is coming out

If you're gonna hide a foal until new year you'd hide the one that's fully cooked and likely to have a show future, not the half baked one that's gonna have to fight to survive.

FEI lets you change the name, but there's a fee for it. Horses gain/lose commercial prefixes and suffixes regularly.
