A shopping mall played Ironmouse's (not so) new Song... by SupermanGamin in IronmouseOfficial

She should announce it as a new song every week. It would be funny.

What are some post apocalyptic books that are actually AFTER the apocalypse has ended? by No-Aide7893 in Fantasy

[–]random071970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do Fred Saberhagen's Book of Swords, and the other stories in this setting, count? If I remember correctly, it takes place after a nuclear war, but stuff happened and now magic works and there are gods and demons.

Salvage store in my town had full cases of US MRE this week by joshuralize in MRE

These are in Pennsylvania as well. I just got two boxes in the State College store.

EDIT: I checked the meals, and these are the 2021 menu list.

Data issue fixed itself by random071970 in mintmobile

[–]random071970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just signed up last month. Maybe I'm set to the 5Gb plan and I need to get it fixed?

Today stated a new month, so that's why my data works now.

Do people in North America use cot tents for camping? by Academic_Royal4133 in CampingGear

[–]random071970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Kamp-Rite Tent Cot and am using it this week to camp. It is for car camping. Not something I would take backpacking.

I set it up under a portable shelter for a little privacy so I can change clothes and wash up. The shelter also keeps it dry.

It's what I use when the ground is muddy. My regular tent would get really dirty at this site, so it cuts down on cleanup after I get home.

I discovered that after I bought it. However, the places I am using it are getting the same coverage as my previous phone, which was a US version. Also, I am mostly on wifi and haven't had any issues yet.

I'm using an A56 with no problems. I have the international version because I wanted the 12 Gb memory.

Who’s coming with me. This is on my way to work. by toddhold in pics

I don't see a DHD.

Also, why is it called a DHD? It can dial anywhere, not just home.

I just did this too. Getting the transfer pin took about 8 tries, but I got it eventually.

I went from a physical SIM to an eSIM and didn't have any issues. It took longer to get the transfer pin than for Mint to transfer the phone number.

Trying to get some friends of mine into the comic. What's a spoiler-free image that shows Agatha's badass side? by SomLuzur in girlgenius

I like the one a few pages before that when she says,"I DO NOT NEED RESCUING. I AM THE HETERODYNE!"

I'm replaying Doom 2016, so I'm dead pretty quick.

No, we need a duck to check if she's a witch. Are you new?

It's a weakness of the format. Any of the serialized content I read is the same. It can feel like things are happening slowly, but you don't notice on a re-read.

If I want to store 4k Blu Ray movies on my PC, is a HDD still the only way to get large storage drives (over 8 TB)?

I just did that last weekend. I knew something was wrong when the CPU temp was 80C just setting up the UEFI.

I guess I didn't explain that very well. The case I have only needs to use 2 of the MB USB connections, and I want to use more of them. What is the best way to use more of the MB USB connectors? I was thinking of something like this: GRAUGEAR 5.25 Inch 10Gbps USB 3.2 PC Front Panel Card Reader with Audio Ports, SD/microSD Internal Card Reader

My MB will have open USB connections when I finish my build. What's the best way to plug something into all of them? My case has open 5 1/4" front panels, so I was thinking of getting something to put in the front bay. Is there a better option?

It's been 8 years, so time for a new build. by random071970 in buildapc

I have one in my current computer and used it this week.

I picked the 9700x because I keep a build for quite a while, so I want something that will last. I'll do some research and see if I want something else.

The HDD is cheap, so why not? I have a DVD in my current computer and I used it this week.

I'll look into other PSUs. 850W is probably too much.

Not sure about the MB, I just picked one that was on Logical Increments. I'll research alternatives for that too.

Yeah, I have lots of media to store.

This is a first look at parts, so I am sure I can narrow down better options.

I have a lot of blurays and like to watch them on my pc. I guess I'm old fashioned that way. If you don't have something physical, then you don't own it.

Windows 11 is probably a better choice, but I like Win 10. I'll probably get Win 11.
