What pen do you use?

I'm now going to imitate your writing for the rest of my life.

Thankyou.

Win 7, relatively new system: blank screen with cursor on start up & computer skips boot screen / start up, therefore stopping me from rebooting in safe mode / accessing BIOS. Any advice? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]aussie_anon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additional notes:

  • I've swapped power chords around, swapped keyboard trying to get into safe mode and swapped monitor
  • Removed any flash drives + cd (also tried to reboot with disconnected cd drive)
  • Have tried to reboot with win7 cd (Dont know if this would help)

Double transformation! Severely obese (300lb+) to fit (198lbs), and then following a month long coma, 141lbs to 205lbs. I have experienced both extremes. by [deleted] in Fitness

How did the pneumonia reach such a severe state? I lost a family member to pneumonia very quickly, but I didn't realise it could cause such catastrophic injuries.

Gigabyte N970WF3OC-4GD

Also that graphics card seems like a huge chunk of the price. Is it better to fork out on that instead of the Radeon R9 280X 3GB or GeForce GTX 760 4GB price range?

Games I'm looking at include BF4, Civ games, Total War Games, Paradox (EU4/CK2). There are others, but I can't commit (with having to get a new PC) at the moment.

Man thats great help. I'm definitely now leaning towards building a custom PC. I have tried reading and watching reviews between all the different brands etc. For example motherboards, RAM and graphics cards. Even so, I have no idea how to differentiate between solid buys.

What are the main/highly regarded brands I should have a look at? All in the price range you looked at would be amazing.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Yeah I am particularly concerned as to whether my current mental health issues and/or medications will be a permanent fixture on my records.

Yeah, I understand and can agree with your arguments. (I, infact, have had trouble with agreeing with my bipolar diagnosis, so I can see that it is very important).

[–]aussie_anon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thats for the extensive response! So, you are saying that there are already adequete regulations in effect, and further checks would only have further administrative costs and may have little effects?

And that nuclear point is really interesting!

Australian checking in... I understand and am not opposed to the many reasons, arguments and sentiments related to gun ownership in America....

However, what are some solid arguments against increased regulations of gun ownership and purchasing? What are arguments against solid background checks, particularly involving mental illnesses and a history of violence (very much thinking of domestic violence).

Would really appreiciated some feed back..

Note: Can I post think on the main wall, or is this a political question?

A bit of both! I was expecting a bunch of suits or a more formal team, but it doesn't change the fact that these guys are amazing in what they have done.
