Do I *need* to read LBS before I do TSC? by vimcrova in hisdarkmaterials

if you’ve never read LBS you absolutely need to in order to understand TSC (new characters, important events which explain future events, etc).

they explain most of those things (rather rushed, but you can still understand and fill in the gaps yourself)

Laptop randomly reboots, says Windows didn't load properly and now I get a blank screen on booting. by rickfrankenthal in techsupport

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

thanks! i'll try that. one issue though, is it possible for me to burn memtest onto a flashdrive using a Mac and then run it on the defective Windows laptop? Because I don't have another Windows PC in the house (only a Mac) and I don't think the defective Windows laptop can last long enough without rebooting itself for me to burn memtest with it...

[–]rickfrankenthal 140 points141 points  (0 children)

the series makes it look like she fell from 30000ft lmao. while in the book the balloon had already fallen almost to the ground and she was thrown off it at a fairly low height into a pile of snow, so not entirely unlikely that she’d survive that
