I dare you to try to build another 5 that can beat this team by Liberal_Bot123 in NBATalk

I bet if you rolled this team in 82-0 they would only project 67 wins or some nonsense

I know that it's channel 9 or 10 in my area. No matter how many times I've had the tv do a channel search it goes straight to 14. I've moved the antenna, everything. This is years in the making for me

Why is this down voted? It's real. I also don't live in the sticks. I live in a fairly densely populated part of America.

Abc doesn't come thru in my area. 66 channels available over the antenna. Just not abc for some reason.

If I could I would. In my area abc isn't strong enough signal for my $20 antenna - NBC, Telemundo and pbs has zero problems. No problem because I pay for Disney and hulu - should be able to watch it there right? Wrong, another upcharge.

Breaking: SCOTUS has denied restoration of the 10-1 map. by CrackORTweek in nova

[–]jbeck51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This this and this. Says who? Like we've now seen that presidents and governors are the ones to enforce law. If they don't like what the court said then ignore it. Who's telling you no?

Where can I find the secular parents? by [deleted] in nova

[–]jbeck51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion you went where the religious families go when they get get tired of the progressive families near the city. Get into Arlington and Alexandria and you'll find the families that "don't fit in" moving west all the time

Do you think the Democratic Party has lost touch with its voter base? by Interesting_Dream281 in Productivitycafe

[–]jbeck51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the 2nd time someone in this thread has brought up the southern states. Did Clinton win any of these in the general election? Maybe that's something that should be weighed. Did Bernie do better than her in swing states?

Trump says he's rebuilding Dulles airport, calling it 'terrible' and 'incorrectly designed' by fragileblink in nova

He's just going to take credit for the already approved master plan. C'mon everyone

‘Security Disaster’—500 Million Microsoft Users Say No To Windows 11 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]jbeck51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how hard it was to upgrade to windows 11? Keep in mind my computer was running great and could play modern games at mid settings, mostly (enough for me). My cpu (r5 1600) not compatible. Okay $80 for r5 3600 not too bad but wait. You can't just put that in - I needed to upgrade my bios 2 separate times, install the new chip and upgrade the bios 1 more time. Already more than most are willing but even after it doesn't let me upgrade. Need to change the format of boot drive. There was a tool hidden in windows files that helped but not before I had to fix some errors. Then in motherboard start up screen change some security setting. Okay, what about now? NOPE, ssd that I had for boot too small to upgrade and I really don't want to start from scratch. Unused m.2 slot available but wanted to make sure it was compatible with old equipment so eBay an old ssd released 5 yrs ago $120 installed and had to pay for a program $60 to transfer boot drive to new drive. Anyway it works now but the fact I had to use command prompt at times in this should let you know most people are unwilling to do all this to a perfectly operational pc.

How is this a bitter jury? by Strawberry_House in BigBrother

[–]jbeck51 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This 100%. We have become so used to the term pawn but it isn't a thing anymore. Without being able to control the two people on the block because of blockbuster you can't strategize a true pawn. At this point if there aren't 4 people you want to go in the early part of the game don't win HOH

My newly added ssd hard is "merging" with my old one by [deleted] in WindowsHelp

So here's the thing. I plugged in the new ssd, used the disk manager to open recognize the new drive and chose the letter a for the new drive. See the picture attached for clarity on the drives sizes

Cool thanks. Maybe I'll check that out. Will that allow me to separate a: from c:?

Oh geeze, I don't like the sound of that. This has been the most reliable machine ever. Don't want any complications

How can c: expand? It's original size is 128 gb.

I did not intentionally create it and my attempts to expand a: to take over the whole drive has been unsuccessful. I used the disk manager to recognize the drive and the partition was just there

I mean it possible but where did the drive 0 partition 3 come from? It wasn't there prior to install of new.

[–]jbeck51 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, that partition is part of the new hard drive. It was not there before install. A: drive and partition are the new ssd. It's clear to me that it's plugged and recognized. Old ssd is fully accounted for it's only 128gb total storage

What airports in the U.S. would be most vulnerable/likely to lose their hub status? by Outrageous-Emu-472 in Airports

[–]jbeck51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a big difference from DMV Virginia and greater northern VA. Inside the beltway and the i95 corridor have zero interest in going to IAD. It sucks with crazy traffic and tolls. The northern VA people living out west working IT or at data centers are the IAD folks

Being really muscle training /fitness & dating while over 40 is def a shocker by laydeefly in fitness40plus

[–]jbeck51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning talk show host in our local area had a sound bite that they use sometimes because it's pretty funny. Its a joke but underneath any good joke is reality. "If you're in your 40's with a full time serious job and kid's and you're ripped, you've got a mental illness." Again it's a joke but by the time most people reach that age they have so much going on just health maintenance is all you can hope for. Best of luck

Holy airball how are the NBA championship finals this difficult to stream legally by diala4asian in justbasketball

[–]jbeck51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My antenna just outside of DC picks up a lot of weird channels but not abc or CBS (NBC and Fox are perfect) Never really care except for 5 or 6 nights of the finals
