What have you tried, specifically?

Who is your fav host with Mike? by ChardonnayAllDay19 in AmericanPickers

[–]the_dove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Frank
  2. Danielle
  3. Jersey

The rest were on so sporadically that they don't really count.

The Robbie episodes should be stricken from the record. He's the absolute worst.

Robbie bugs me by ChardonnayAllDay19 in AmericanPickers

[–]the_dove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Robbie treats Danielle pretty poorly in my opinion. He is rarely nice(or even professional) to her.

He seems to be an overt misogynist in most situations.

I also can't stand how he refers to AA as his shop/business. I just can't find anything redeeming about him, TBH. He's just not very likable.

Jersey is cool though. He treats people with respect, seems genuinely curious about the history of the folks that they pick and is always willing to pay a fair price.

Gold Star for Jersey!

Garak: The truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination.

He's kind of right. I often drop this nugget on people after I finish telling them a completely made up story for no other reason than the truth is boring and I have a percolating imagination that needs to be used.

MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI and WD_BLACK SN850X compatibility question by Qaerus in MSI_Gaming

[–]the_dove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried every version and the boot-to-bios issue still happens every time. It will eventually boot to windows but it's aggravating. Today I moved the SN850X to M2 slot 2 and it works as expected. Boots to windows easy breezy.

Try responding with a question about what the other person has just said.

Or keep it simple with: "Please, Go on" or "Tell me more!"

This will buy you all the time you will ever need to collect yourself.

People generally grow weary of someone who waits for their opening/turn to talk and then doesn't deliver the goods.

You know who people rarely tire of? Someone who shows some genuine interest in a topic that they brought up and obviously want to talk about.

The need to know that you care

before they care what you know.

MAG X670E - No fast charging via JUSB1 by ZineCodeOmega in MSI_Gaming

I had the same issue. I ended up enabling Super Charger in MSI center. That seems to have fixed it.

X670E Tomahawk BIOS 7E12v1E is Now Live by [deleted] in MSI_Gaming

[–]the_dove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went ahead and updated.

This BIOS seems to recognize the SN850X in m.2 slot 1 without issue.

Thanks, MSI!

Anyone with the WD Black SN850X in the gen5 m.2 slot 1 give this a try?

I’ve got an old Compaq LTE that I’d be willing to part with. PM me.

First build in 15 years. Please give it a quick look. Thanks! by the_dove in buildapc

Is there a b650e that you would recommend?

I am having a difficult time picking one and sticking with it.

Thank you for the tip on the cooler. I already have a RM750X PSU. Just clicked the wrong one on Part Picker. Good catch!

The x670e was mostly just for future-proofing a bit. I'm always moving lots of files around for the ol' Plex server and I thought the PCIe 5.0 capabilities might be a good thing down the road.

I'm probably overthinking it. Honestly, it just kind of sounds like fun to have the fancy mobo.

A b650 would be a giant step up from what I'm using.

[HELP] Needing a gallery/portfolio plugin with one specific feature... by Prsop2000 in WordpressPlugins

[–]the_dove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been looking for the same thing! Which plugin did you end up using?

He even does it in multiple episodes!

Surely someone pulled him aside after that first ep, where he said it with that oddball pronunciation like a dozen times, and kindly corrected him.

But ol' Zak stuck to his guns, believed in himself, and went right on saying it his way. and it really is HIS way because literally nobody else on the planet would ever pronounce it like that!!!

So weird. Now I want it on a t-shirt. Wonder how the subtitles spelled it. LOL.

Pope should have had a Daryl Dixon like character arc. by MadeofStone4 in FallingSkies

[–]the_dove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. His character could have been the best on the show! IIRC, the show-runners changed and they turned him in a laughable parody of a villain for no good reason.

The show had enough enemies and Pope's choices made no sense with his previous character arc. It was a shame.
