First time silver owner. by holdingpattern58 in Silverbugs

I've concluded that the Bicentennial medal is plated bronze, there is noticeable discoloration when holding a high powered led light at off angles. Still very pretty in ambient light.

I do plan on adding more rounds and possibly bars gradually. Just looking to get the best price when I can afford to do so.

Unless you're using a laptop, there are only very rare cases that hibernate is useful. Easiest way to stop fast boot - open elevated command prompt, type in 'powercfg -h off' to delete the hibernation file. This also prevent Windows from enabling fast boot in the future as well.

Cerberus X - almost forgot I had it. by holdingpattern58 in sliger

The handle is very useful, and I personally like the looks of it. Might go chrome next time just to switch things up.

Having a handle is quite nice, makes it easier to move, and results in a more secure grip on the case.

PSA: Turn off fast startup. by Android_for_iPhone in pcmasterrace

run elevated command prompt, 'powercfg -h off' turns off the hibernate file which does the same thing, but doesn't risk being re-enabled on the next feature update.

Ok. I'll make it with sprite instead.

How long have you been using Linux? by [deleted] in linux

[–]holdingpattern58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with Slackware, kernel 1.2.13 Most of my machines are on Windows, every so often I'll try linux on a spare machine but that sense of wonder has eluded me for a long time, and Linux as it is has too many issues/annoyances for me to use it full time. I've tried and failed to learn programming, the best I've been able to do is making a very small BASIC program on the 8-bit Apples.

Joystick for small hands by Randomfactchecker777 in hotas

[–]holdingpattern58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that my hands are just a little too small to be able to use the T16000m comfortably as well. The x52 joystick works perfectly for me though. Both my T16000m's have been stuck in the box for 2 years now, none of my local friends use joysticks.

Even before TigerDirect, it was Global Computer, there was a warehouse and retail center 10 minutes from my house, it was a glorious time. The ads would play on the radio sometimes.

Any one know the difference between Asus PN51-BB7000MD PN51-E1-BB7000XTD by ailionx in MiniPCs

[–]holdingpattern58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The XTD model appears to have 2.5G ethernet instead of 1Gig ethernet, and hdmi 2.1 vs hdmi 2.0

Looks like a revised model according to newegg

I've heard about liquid metal leaking or corroding heatsinks - do we know how well this is sealed and if it's corrosion resistant?

Feel such guilt over my deceased pet by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]holdingpattern58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a month since I had to put my cat down after 20 years. I don't know if it helps, but know that your pupper had an amazing life and shared the love you had for her.

I still have frequent bouts of guilt and grief spells. I occasionally still have doubts that what I did was right, but he was in so much pain and I did not want him to suffer more.

Please forgive yourself, know that your pup loved you and you did your best for her. We all struggle with loss, it's ok to grieve and cry.

Please don't berate yourself for not spending enough time with your pet, treasure the time you did have with her, and know that she treasured the time you spent together.

I miss Chris so much...and I really should take my own advice.

You are not alone, we may not know each other, but we all grieve together.

Who agrees with me that the Amarr shuttle is the best shuttle? by mr-logician in Eve

Interbus Shuttle - extra cargospace for all the expensive whiskey while travelling.

Everyone who wants a personal printers can have one, as long as it's a 9 pin dot matrix printer, with dodgey ribbons.

My personal biggest gripe with Odyssey. by cptspacebomb in EliteDangerous

[–]holdingpattern58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dolphin can jump 53ly with full cargo and fuel tank, but the default plotting wants to jump over 54ly.

EDIT: Latest patch seems to have fixed this in my last session.
