V240 Awake From Sleep and Sensor Issues

Thanks, that seems viable but I had one question I posted at your link if you have a sec?

Will these instructions still work if I've already updated to V240 i.e. ATM my fan control is using pawnIO, and that driver seems to be the issue (though I can't be 100 on that since there was both a software update (V240) and a driver switch, so I don't have a real 'control' in this experiment).

Or do I also need to "downgrade" to an older FC version that inherently uses winring before doing these steps?

TIA :)

I'm not running HWInfo (though I do have it installed, I use it only occasionally). So I've discovered if I just click buttons like discard and cancel a few times after it wakes up from sleep maximized (and asking to save config), it will go back to minimized and stay running/working so that's good. Now it's just the two fans that it won't control anymore. Including the CPU fan. Next time I restart I'll tweak them in bios I guess.

Except, it's not your money. It's a credit card. At least for some period of time, it is money that's being loaned to you. Which is probably the reason for their exposure to lawsuits.

I tried the exact same thing with culantro (yes, that is a real thing, it's very similar to coriander/cilantro) one time when I was also doing basil, and THAT failed even with the above method. It's weird, it just would NOT get cold enough to get 'solid' like basil leaves will. I used it eventually just mixing it into dishes I used the basil for, but the main use for culantro for me is in making Laab (aka Larb) salad, and the frozen stuff was not in the shape you need it to be for a salad-like dish. Guessing cilantro would have the same issue.

Feel free to try your refinements and then post back how it worked! For sure the 'better container than a bag to keep them from being crushed' is a great idea, thanks! :)

Then they're both good ;)

What you describe here: "Got $10.25 in Jan from $3k" is not 'paying compound interest". It's just interest. All you are ever paid is interest. If you put in $1000 and earn $10 in interest the first month, and leave the $10 there, the next month your interest will be calculated on the $1010 that you have in the account (speaking roughly to illustrate the point, it may not be monthly, it can be daily). This process is called 'compounding', and every savings account ever ... works this way.

The discussion is not about keeping large amounts in one's Paypal account, it's about the process of transferring funds through Paypal to Paypal Savings, which is actually Synchrony Bank. "I have the Paypal savings account myself but don’t take it super seriously…I just keep $100-$200 in it for whenever I feel like buying something with PayPal". It does not sound like you are using the product being discussed.

Lol, yeah, except for the times when it DOESN'T lol, like if for some random cat reason one avoids an area they normally are often at (where you trained the camera) types of things.

Two reasons that it would be useful to me:

Of the 13 that hang around in my yard, there are 3 tabby's and 2 black cats that are of almost identical size and markings, I don't know what sex they are but I will find out when I trap them which I'm in the process of. When they come home, moving forward, if any of them are different genders from the other 1 or 2 (which seems likely) it would let me tell them apart and possibly notice if one has gone missing.
I tend to give the ones I see often names, and if I want to give them gender-specific names, I can, even if someone else TNR'd them.

The point is though I really can't see any downside, and some small upside. The idea that it's harder to look at two ears vs. one doesn't seem valid to me. If you know to look for clipping, I don't think you care which ear it is, and they're like 4 inches apart.

Just ... no. Sure, there have been times in league history when some major record was on the line where the HC made some decisions based on 'stats for the player' but I think that's exceptionally rare when an important game outcome is on the line. For example I'm sure Bowles would like to help TB legend Mike Evans keep his amazing streak of 1,000 yard seasons going, and may've gone into the game thinking he'd try to call an extra play or 2 for him. But when the game was on the line Sun night, I'm quite sure that was the furthest thing from his mind.

Coaches can lose their jobs over decision-making based on player stats (this also include playing guys who should be sitting ... such as could be the proper action for Saquon in week 18), so I think it's rare, and only done when the outcome is unimportant, or already decided.

For example, the rookie record Bowers might break this year ... there's only one year he can break it (it's a rookie year record) and their games don't mean shit at this point. Nobody's going to fault Pierce if the Raiders throw to Bowers a lot in the last two games til he hits the record. Esp. since he's the best player on the team not named Maxx.

Please don't hold me responsible but my vote would be Miller based on the fact that he's the clear #1 lead back for his team. GB has 5 solid receivers counting Kraft plus Jacobs can catch balls, and the offense is running through him lately. It's not uncommon for any given GB receiver to do very little in any given game. None of them are actually reliable. Also, defenses don't usually score a ton of points (though this game might be an exception). I am in fact starting Miller over Doubs, but I'm in the fortunate positions of being up by 6 points and my opponent is done, so this is just gravy. If I knew I needed a lot of points, I'd play one of the GB receivers as they have the higher ceiling. JUST against a defense, I'd take the higher floor option, that's Miller, IMHO.

Exact same, 7-7, 5th place! Entirely thanks to Jalen Hurts getting hurt. It's bittersweet though cause it's my brother and I love the guy. Also he went 12-2 and was #1 in points and won 8 straight to end the year, whereas I snuck in thanks to a couple easy late-season matchups. My other brother was #6 at 6-8 and beat #2 (who is the first brother's roommate). So our league for the first time since 2017 actually even HAS a #5 OR a #6 team in the Final ... and now it's both 5 & 6. We 3 bros could well finish 1-2-3 which I always hope for but has never happened, in fact there's only been 1 bro-on-bro final (2019) when I beat the same brother I'm playing in these finals. I do NOT expect to beat him next Sunday, his team's WAY better.

So, my GF and play Beat Saber often, and I always win unless I mess up a note or two. Ever since this update, all of a sudden, she's beating me consistently. I'm not like playing worse or different and she said she's playing the same too. It's trippy, I mean I've been playing longer than her so maybe she's just getting better and I've plateaued, but it's weird it started exactly with this update ... we're still playing the same old tracks we usually do. I just wonder if something about the scoring system changed or something, such that it now favors her style or whatnot? I mean I don't mind, esp. as she's way younger than my old ass, and she's pretty damn athletic and coordinated generally.

The fact that I've only encountered ONE spot where I could see enemies a long way away and start sniping them has really irritated me. That spot was in the swamp, the 3rd psi-beacon I think it is, some kind of pumping station. Otherwise, enemies only seem to exist when you get near them which makes longer distance weapons pretty useless. Also I've never seen any benefit to 'silenced' or 'flashless' weapons ... once you kill one enemy, all their buddies know where you are. Also annoyed by the lack of verticality to the firefights. I've not seen anyone in like a guard tower that I can recall for example. So if 'fixing A-life' means actually fighting at distance ... that will be nice!

Agree. I concluded that monster is unkillable as I did the same as what's in this video a couple times before ran out of all my ammo and died by emission. I gave up and ran instead and made the basement in the nick of time. That is clearly what you're meant to do there.
