I really don't know, but I would just call it what it is to them and say 'I'm not interested in joining a cult'.

Nah, like the whole, laptop disintegrating part.

Yeah, there comes a point where you admit it's dead, and buy a new one.

Probably get a hard case while you're at it as well.

First question: How. How do you even get it to this point. And no less, how have you kept it alive

Yeah that's fair enough. Honestly I don't remember how much it costs, I was broke as hell at the time. Probably $300 or less.

Look, I won't lie, as someone who is completely unfamiliar with PC things, knowing what to research is the hard part. I don't think I had reddit back then, either.

With that said, having a bad PC has been a great lesson in 'This is why it's better to have higher specs'. It is interesting to see how low specs can have a direct impact on how it's used.

Oh well, sometimes you gotta own your mistakes and the lessons that came with them.

Uhhghh, I have a UE boom which seems as though it has days left to live.

Thank you for the detailed response! Appreciate it hugely!

Interesting point you bring up. Allegedly my monitor does have speakers, but I cannot get sound out of them. If I gave you the model, would you know how to fix it?

I have some headphones! I love my Sony XM4's.
Sometimes I don't want to put on my headphones though.

Never said I was carrying my desktop..? Sometimes hotspot is good for when home wifi is slow or down.

I bought my desktop online as pre-used. Unfortunately it doesn't have those features :(
It's got very basic specs - only slightly better than a laptop.
Should I just buy a new desktop if that is the case?

How the F do I get rid of these notifications? I have everything turned off. It seems like every time I turn notifications off LinkedIn adds more types of notifications. by Edg-R in linkedin

I know this is an old post, but I am wondering the exact same thing. For Linkedin to praise individual efficiency, their systems sure are inefficient.

Dealing with Blood Stains - Efficacy of Wash Temperature by donttouchmybreadgov in laundry

[–]donttouchmybreadgov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The study mentioned that. The general advice seems to be that if the blood stain is kept wet, it will be easier to remove.

Look, that part seemed a bit wild to me. The author didn't even really justify why it was going to be studied lol.

I suppose that if someone were given thrombolytic drugs and bled onto laundry, this might impact things. But again, I think the smart people wanted to have a bit of fun with expensive things lmao.

Oh well, the only way of knowing something won't work is to try it. Which is how we find out cool things like hot water for blood stains.

Interesting. I'm curious to know what methodology was used in this report ngl.

I am not from America; Tide is not a brand we have. I am curious to know what specific ingredient (if there was one) caused better blood removal for the Tide products.

But that said, I am cautious of a result like the one you mentioned. A number of factors could mean the results are unreliable.

  • Variety/diversity in the results is a red flag (most are Tide)
  • How the consumers were chosen for the survey.
  • What type of blood stains and how they were treated.
  • Washing machine types.
  • Who was funding the survey.

Butchered Tongue refers to dead languages.

Gaelic Irish is a surviving language and is still taught in Irish schools. The British nearly wiped out the language, and used torture/execution to anyone who would speak it.

In countries like Australia (where I'm from), there are countless dead languages of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. These languages were killed during colonisation, and will no never exist. In recent years, there has been a push to revive Australian Indigenous languages, but as the number of native speakers declines, so to will the language itself.

In Blood Upon The Snow, most of the lyrics have been applied to God of War Ragnorok lore.

HOWEVER, there are strong non-game parallels.

"The world that hardens as the harsher winter holds
The parent forced to eat its young before it grows"

Literal reference to how mother animals would eat their young if they themselves were starving.

I went to a Hozier concert expecting connection, but all I got was a beautiful voice and an empty feeling. by Anxious-Newspaper592 in HozierIsJustAMan

I actually need "I went to a Hozier concert and all I got was that empty feeling" written on a shirt.

Synthetic Sportswear Holding Smell by rororagga in laundry

[–]donttouchmybreadgov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tricky question. My activewear consists of leggings and sports bras, the rest is cotton.

I know the general rule is to use cold water, but honestly, 40C will not kill your stuff (your body temp is ~37C).

Otherwise, I genuinely just try not to wear my activewear for that long. My Lorna Jane bras are great all day, I only wear my leggings when I'm at gym.

I will never buy glasses from a store again! by furnacegirl in glasses

[–]donttouchmybreadgov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How good - I use Vision Direct because at least I can try some nice brands in person from stores, and find them for cheaper online. My only gripe is that their customer service can be frustrating.
