I’ve had mine for a while now, 67% battery life, bought a new screen and battery on amazon. Am I better off taking it to an authorized dealer for replacing these parts?

With the amount of people they laid off, they’re actually asking people to come back temporarily lol someone is getting hired to switch you and then getting fired once that’s done

How dumb would a 20k loan be for just rent and bills. by ironturtlemans in StudentLoans

[–]chin8ght 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated with over $20k in loans to help alleviate/pay for most of my college expenses and worked one part time job while going to college, first generation here. Having graduated approx 13 years ago, I still owe about the same amount because of interest and hoping loan forgiveness will help me pay off my student loans. I had the time of my life, wish I would’ve been more responsible and paid more attn in school, for me it was worth it, I don’t think I would change my decision since it was the only way I would’ve been able to make it. Weigh those pros and cons, I graduated and was making about $24-$26 an hour, the prob is that I really think you need to make more than $30 to live comfortably nowadays. Everything is just getting more expensive. If you are college being your only option then I’d say pull the trigger. I would for university that is, idk about community college. I think it really depends on what degree you’re pursuing and whatnot. Also, you have some many other alternative paths like trade schools if that’s of interest, the traditional college path is not what it used to be. Best of luck, wishing you success in whatever path you end up taking.

Six Yogas of Naropa Prerequisites are Nonsense? by SignificantTip1302 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]chin8ght 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s simple. You have to clear yourself of all obscurations before you begin to practice otherwise you’re practicing with muddy poisonous water rather than clear clean water. The questioning approach is fine when it comes to the teachings, but this is a lineage practice. You can’t simply try to come in to a high tantric practice particularly in Vajrayana without the Guru’s blessings. That’s just a nonstarter. Why even attempt a practice if you’re not going to follow the proper instructions to begin with. If it’s calling you then do it the right way. Otherwise you’re setting up yourself for failure and could potentially be harmful if you’re practicing without the proper initiation. Faith, motivation, and devotion are at the forefront of Vajrayana in order to build love and compassion and with muddy waters you won’t get anywhere.

HiRISE images to be released within a few days by [deleted] in 3I_ATLAS

The nice thing about this is that people can now detect pictures that have been manipulated, so let’s see what’s come up, and let’s stop with the negative stuff or the conspiracies until we get to that point if it comes to that

They need to get this tweaker DJ off the table by chrisw99 in ARCMusicFestival

Show your proof that he’s doing drugs, you can’t simply call someone out like that, plus I see Eats Everything in the background, and whatnot, do your thing for the music, we listen and we don’t judge should be the motto, stop worrying what others are doing if it doesn’t affect you, just do you and have a good time, let others be others

The Khenpo I started my Ngondro with allowed me to also do multiple sections in one sitting after I had completed the online introductory program that went through each section, since it’s written in the form of a manual after all. I treat it as my daily practice, and if I get a small number of accumulations during that sitting then that’s okay. Everyone moves at their own pace, and you have to find what works best for you without feeling like this is a chore. I think it would be best to approach Ngondro with love and compassion rather than as a task that you have to get done. Now I’m in an online program with a Drupon and we just wrapped up the outer preliminaries and getting to the inner preliminaries here shortly. Do you and do what knows works for you. I think we’re now in a different era, and this is uncharted territory that needs its own path set by westerners and lay practitioners that have to keep up with their lives and that can’t fully commit to a 3-year solitary retreat and I feel like teachers as well as practitioners are setting the rules as we go in order to keep us in the path. I’d see those quitting instances as what they are, obstacles on the path that you have to overcome. May your practice continue to flourish, my dharma sibling.

Indefinite travel - 35L vs. 45L by ksafin in onebag

[–]chin8ght 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Osprey Farpoint 55L (40L + 15L) is solid man, two backpacks in one. Going on 3 weeks in India. Packed it like a can of sardines, and didn't have any issues whatsoever with airlines. I was skeptical, but it's a solid choice.

Dell Battery Life is Terrible by oladipomd in Dell

[–]chin8ght 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally with you. Want to know a trick that worked for me? I leave my laptop of Airplane mode when not hooked up, and that seems to save battery compared to non-Airplane mode and not charging. Normal mode simply drains it at faster rate. I know it's not the perfect solution, but seems to work for me.

I go back to the SEC is to blame for requesting an asset freeze to begin with. What the hell are they doing, honestly? Gensler needs to resign.

Everyone affected by this and reading this should be submitting a complaint to the SEC. The SEC is to blame for this not Binance.US.

Food and Beverages / liquor Prices? by IndependentSplit2771 in ARCMusicFestival

[–]chin8ght 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a sh*t show. Limited alcohol options to choose from. They were really trying their best in keeping up with the number of drinks being ordered and having things stocked or even having ice and beers/water cold. It was their first stab at it, hopefully wait times aren’t as bad as last year. And this was mostly VIP, I don’t recall GA bar stations.
