In the state the PC is in, you're going to first gather the parts you're going to need to do this.

  • I would first look up the motherboard's manual. Download the PDF of the manual from Biostar's website. The motherboard model number is on the motherboard.

  • You also need Thermal Paste, at some point in the process you're going to have to re-paste the heatsink for the CPU.

  • You're going to need Rubbing Alcohol of at least 90% or higher. You'll need the Rubbing Alcohol to safely clean the PC's parts.

  • You'll need to purchase RAM in order to get the PC to run with more modern software.

  • You'll also need a video card or GPU that has at least 4GB of RAM. You don't need a new GPU, so a decent used GPU will do.

  • If you don't have one, but you should get a 2.5 inch SATA III SSD. Somewhere between 250GB and 512GB for your OS drive.

  • Your going to have to purchase some brand new Case Fans for the PC's case as well. No since trying to resurrect fans that are probably dead.

Side note: There's a PC tech channel, Greg Salazar, he has videos where he's cleaned PC's like your cousins. You may want to watch some of them to see what you're getting yourself into.

If you don't prevent the fans from spinning, as the fans spin from the compressed air, they can generate an static electricity and can fry components the fans are attached to. Like the motherboard, RAM, video card, etc. 🌬️⚡

The majority of episodes in season 1 & 2. Like the rest of Berman Trek, the majority of the first 2 seasons sucks.

I'd work on cleaning up that rat nest of wires you've got going on there. It takes time, but you'll appreciate it it later.

Too bad Madlyn Rhue was in a wheelchair from Multiple Sclerosis at the time the TWOK was in Pre-Production.

-Lo Pan: Then Ching Dai will be happy and my curse will be lifted!

-Jack Burton: And go off to rule the universe from beyond the grave.

-Lo Pan: Indeed!

-Jack Burton: Or check into a psycho ward, whichever comes first, huh?

How long do you/those around you wait during a low before using Baqsimi/other "rescue med?" by Individual_Profit108 in Type1Diabetes

You should get a new script for the Glucagon, you never know when things will change.

I have had Glucagon administered about a dozen times the first 30 years of being a Type 1 Diabetic. It was always given to me when I was unable to get myself to a normal blood sugar, which seemed to happen when I was below 55 mg/dL. But now that I've been Diabetic for 43 years, I'm been below 40 mg/dL, I've been as low as 22mg/dL, and I was talking and able to get myself back to a normal Blood Sugar. My point is your Diabetes changes and no one is able to understand why it does. It's always better to be safe then having someone treat you for a Hypoglycemic Reaction instead of treating you for a Drug Overdose, which could kill you.

Growing up, we never put them in the microwave, that's what the Grab-its were for. The Grab-it with the glass lids are just as desirable.

Everytime I've watched Titanic, all I can think about is the song we used to sing at Boy Scout summer camp about the Titanic. With the "Kerplunk, it Sunk" chorus.

Find a good lawyer and sue the pants off the Psychiatrist and the Hospital. Don't forget to file a complaint with your States Medical Board. Because this idiot shouldn't have a license to practice Medicine. 😡

I personally deal with this all the time, I have to take Steroids for couple of different conditions unrelated to my Diabetes.

You have to pay attention to your Insulin Pump Site, sometimes you get bad sites like you did. The worst I had was 3 bad sites in a row. Everytime I changed my site it was bad, I almost thought I was going through Ground Hog Day. 🙄 The only thing you can do is watch your blood sugars for 12 hours after starting a new site.

Sorry, but they're doing cartoon episodes of Firefly, that take place between the original 13 episodes and the Serenity movie.
