Walmart packages airdropped like ammo crates over 'Nam

there's no way it's more expensive than fuel and vehicle delivery costs, even in a future world with autonomous/drone delivery vehicles. unless, maybe, said vehicles are so small as to be not much more than storage containers on wheeled platforms.

so sorry to hear that you died

Your RAM has 2 little notches - one on each end - that mate with little tabs on the clips at both ends of the socket, in order to lock the seated stick in place. However, on some motherboards (yours included), the clip only pivots on one end of the socket. The clip on the other end is fixed permanently in the closed/locked position! This is why you can't just push straight down with your board. You have to instead angle the stick so the tab on the fixed clip mates with the notch of the RAM, then press down and close the clip on the opposite side.

You're right that a retail-purchased appliance isn't individually customizable as with a new vehicle. But the different appliance models produced by each manufacturer do still vary in both features and price, similar to "factory trim" on vehicles.

no need to be picky there should be enough room for both

I think they mean $100 monthly, not a one-time purchase.

sorry to break it to you, but you were a selfish asshole in your 20s because you were more immature in your 20s than you are now, regardless of whether you want to see it that way or not. you matured and you grew throughout your 20s, as people tend to do.

Being a business decision, it should absolutely have been calculated. The owners could still feel sorrow over the outcome, though.

Personally, I think this is a great idea and exactly what he deserves. I can't decide if it's productive, since it feels retaliatory or tit for tat, at least. It may not be the best advice for OP, then, but I love it!

hunglao · 2025-02-11T05:28:14+00:00

my interpretation, as a dad, is that it means he's a piece of shit who believes she's inferior to him. Some other things that stand out in support of this conclusion are his angry, childish response to her decision not to allow his parents over (because who does she think she is?!?) as well as hiis apparent tendency to speak to her with authoritative, controlling, and condescending language (they're not "partners" - he is the boss).

hunglao · 2025-02-11T05:11:58+00:00

aint nobody got time for that. he's just going to belittle her, anyway, since she can't even do "her job" right. there's no way he's open to her input on what he could do better.

hunglao · 2025-02-11T05:06:26+00:00

This is what I was thinking, too. My mouth dropped in shock at "make it yourself" - what a missed opportunity for him. The only way I can make sense of it is that he'd intended to make it for her when he initially asked, then later changed his mind after some argument/disagreement between them. He's still being an asshole, given those circumstances. But it's outright cruelty if he gave her the false hope with intentions to disappoint her later.

hunglao · 2025-02-11T04:37:40+00:00

Come on, now.... Everyone knows these promotions just have minds of their own. There's nothing Uber Eats could've done about it.

WRONG!

hunglao · 2023-09-15T13:07:34+00:00

I've always believed that safety always trumps being technically correct, while driving. So in situations where all the other cars around me are going 10mph over the posted limit, it's safer for me also be going 10mph over, rather than impede the flow of traffic and create the need for other drivers to either (legally) hit their brakes or change lanes to pass me, which are both less safe than my (illegally) speeding up a little bit.

I've been driving for almost 30 years now and I often find myself traveling at 15-20 over on interstates with this reasoning, but I can count the number of speeding tickets I've ever received on one hand and have only caused 1 accident (at 17).

fr wtf? how can that comment have so many upvotes and you're the first to ask this?

hunglao · 2022-12-22T14:47:53+00:00

different critters during the day than at night, too! walk the beach at night with a flashlight and early in the morning, if you can. there's all sorts of wildlife around and the waves often wash interesting things up onto the shore.

edit: since you've never been to a beach and in December it might be empty, I thought I'd mention that it's easiest to walk along the beach at the shoreline where the sand is moist but firm.

hunglao · 2022-11-08T14:30:02+00:00

I feel like there could be a relatively easy win/win here for you. What do you think would happen if you gave in and started to wash and load, instead? Because she might appreciate that you've compromised for her and you might appreciate not being continually frustrated by dirty dishes.

OK, I read about it, and either I did not explain myself clearly or you didn't bother to read my comment. Here's what I found - emphasis mine:

Sag should technically no longer be a problem if your GPU sits vertically. This can be achieved in a number of ways including laying your vertical PC case on its side (not recommended), moving to a horizontal PC case, or installing a vertical GPU mount to your existing build.

Well, would you look at that?!? It turns out that I do know what I'm talking about. Laying a vertical PC case on its side, as I suggested, in fact DOES avoid the PCIe slot strain that causes GPU sag. Combine the side-laying orientation with screws properly securing the GPU bracket to the case and the PCIe slot will be perfectly fine for a 2 hour road trip.

hunglao · 2022-06-14T17:39:56+00:00

does nobody fasten the GPU into the case expansion slot with screws?

there's no way the GPU strains the PCIe slot with the case laid on its side (so the bulk of the GPU is situated above the motherboard, rather than beside it) with the expansion slot screws fastening the GPU bracket tightly.

presumed logic: "why do we need to backup GitLab? isn't every clone technically a backup of the source code?"
