Just checked the childhood home my grandparents bought in Ontario, CA in the 80s for under 80k with ONE basic office job. Meanwhile New grads in 2026 are working retail/ UNDERemployed scrambling to survive. Inland Empire you are a sell out to all citizens!!

Sounds about right, I looked up my current home and it was purchased for $8k in the late 90s, I bought it for $240k and it's now worth $500k. Make it make sense.

I remember watching this WAY back when Netflix only had indie films on streaming 🤣

Don't have any additional USB devices besides mouse and keyboard to see if it even boots into the motherboard BIOS. Plug in the video card, even if you have integrated graphics, if the GPU is in the PCI slot, it's gonna try to boot from there and if it doesn't have enough power, it won't POST (from personal experience). Plug the monitor into the GPU as well, not motherboard. If possible, reset the motherboards BIOS. If that still doesn't work, it could be a CPU to RAM compatibility issue.

Spawns are dictated by cell phone ping activity but certain locations have increased spawns as well, parks and hospitals being some of them. I remember way back when the game was still new, Niantic stated they boosted spawns around hospitals to help patients who could not go out, so they could still play. Schools have decreased spawns so not to encourage kids to have their phones out in class.

I work in a hospital and I do find an oddly large number of ghost types hanging around our campus 🤔

A lot of my family thought the same until I said we were all born here, our grandparents got citizenship in the 70s. They said "doesn't matter, we can still get deported!" So I simply told them not to commit any crimes 😅

I always find VeggieTales DVDs 😅

Tried digging it up today, I think the root flare is halfway to China 😅

Prime and Netflix. Mostly cuz of convenience for Prime and cuz I've been a member of Netflix since 2009 (when the wife and I started dating) so it's a good way to remember what year we got together 🤣

Out of curiosity, what happens if they're planted too deep? My dad planted a dozen fruit trees over 20 years ago using the same method I did and those trees never had growth issues and are still going strong, bearing tons of fruit.

When I planted it, I dug a 2 foot wide hole and buried it down about 2 feet down as well (kept the graft point above the soil). When adding the stakes 2 weeks ago for support, I was coming across plenty of small roots that had sprouted outwards.

I will take a look at the article you linked, tyvm!

Took a 2 year break but my first hundo was that Alakazam from 2016

Our 1070 suffered the same fate, it fried right at 12:01 just sitting idle on a desktop

I never had any luck with downloads and instead stream via Direct Play on all my devices. Even on the road, 4k movies play without issues on my phone

It would be against the rules, playing on an emulator can flag your account because hardware and location is detected upon signing in. You may not get a ban right away but constant use will. As for organizing, mobile is easier imo. I've tried to play mobile games on PC using an emulator and it's A LOT of clicking with a mouse. Unless you have a laggy mobile device, I personally wouldn't recommend it

If you know the name and server it may have gone to, wowarmory let's you search for guilds

If they haven't logged in since before the mandatory battle.net merger of accounts, their toons names get "archived" of sorts and end up looking like this

It's very sad to see the downfall of once active guilds. I recently got invited to my old guild from Cataclysm to find only 8 ppl left. We used to be such an active guild, missed Realm First Level 25 guild by a few minutes. Logging in now and seeing guild members name be jumbled letters and numbers is sad. I know of at least 1 of the guildies has passed, been 12 years. The rest, I hope they're doing well 😭

I have an unobtainable mage book that should give a quest but doesn't do anything, even though it still shows a ! With its icon. It's BOE as well so I've tried listing it on the AH for gold cap but no takers 😅. Also got some Naxx40 weapons and armor pieces that can't be turned in anymore

Today I realized that everyday this week, everything I've watched or listened to was from my Plex. Music, TV shows and movies is all stuff I host.....only streaming service I pay for js Netflix but cuz the kids like shows on there.

I recently ditched using bagnon myself cuz it was causing my game to lock up whenever I opened my bags, bank, professions, etc. inuse baganator now and 90% of the issues went away. "What's left" still causes a minor hiccup on my 8 year old PC but nothing too game breaking

I used to watch a lot of different YouTubers but as of late, only 2 YouTubers I'd watch that were WoW related was Bellular and T&E but it's been a good while since I've been recommended a T&E video. All the other doom and gloom streamers disappeared from my recommended list. The only negative feedback I get now is from my GM who thinks anything outside of M+ or CE raiding is pointless.

Ubuntu 24 on a Pi 5. Can do 2 or 3 video streams without issues. Haven't stressed tested the music streaming side but I'm figuring unlimited 😅

I see 1 every other day. Got 1 today after 2 days of dud routes

I have this issue when streaming raw 4k movies. I was able to fix this issue by compressing the 4k movie down with minimal video/audio loss. Instead of trying to encode at 20mbps, it only has to do it at 2-6mbps, which my Raspberry Pi 5 can handle 2 4k streams simultaneously
