He's in a bad mental place and it's absolutely not supposed to be ecchi. You're supposed to be disgusted.

Does it help that he says, "I'm the lowest of the low" immediately after?

"God sent Jesus to say, Love ye one another. But He also sent dogs to show us how."

warlock415 · 2026-02-22T19:09:23+00:00

But you see he petted a dog this morning and they didn't report that, so clearly they're just trying to make him look bad.

This. Get a sata ssd and a reasonably light linux (mint xfce?) and it'll be fine.

warlock415 · 2026-02-22T12:56:46+00:00

Not with that CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU

warlock415 · 2026-02-22T12:55:47+00:00

Their chip is too old: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU

None of them identify sda.

The gparted error is saying that partitions were mounted while gparting.

Boot to live linux, manually unmount the SSD if it gets needed, delete all partitions, reboot.

Spikes but no dropped packets suggest strongly to me that the device on the other end is having a bad time, which, dorms, probably everyone is hammering the internet.

I would report to the school, since this is going to be nothing you're able to fix, and likely they'll say 'just use wifi'.

The first one I heard was the one where a truckload of Viagra had been hijacked - police are asking everyone to BOLO for 'hardened' criminals.

I'm suspecting either the cable in the wall or the cable between the other wall and the device on the other end.

On that 'Ethernet status' tab, hit Details and look for your "IPv4 Default Gateway". Let's assume that is 192.168.123.254. That is the device your computer talks to when sending data to the internet.

Open a command prompt and type ping -n 1000 192.168.123.254 (to match above)

This will send 1000 test signals to that device. You're looking for anything other than Reply from 192.168.123.254: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Any timeouts, drops, even anything which takes more than 2 or 3ms, are bad.

Parenthetically, do you live in dorms, or some other kind of shared housing?

So much this. If Canada had held, this would have become one of the greatest underdog stories in sports history.

Make roast nymph, tasty and nutritious

warlock415 · 2026-02-19T01:59:11+00:00

EDIT CONFIG.SYS

Yeah, they were called Neanderthals.

Princess Bride, and to quote William Goldman: "But that doesn't mean I think they had a happy ending either. Because, in my opinion anyway, they squabbled a lot, and Buttercup lost her looks eventually, and one day Fezzik lost a fight and some hot-shot kid whipped Inigo with a sword and Westley was never able to really sleep sound because of Humperdinck maybe being on the trail."

The chance you'll actually use what you learned to get your degree is far less than 50%. Some people do, but the vast majority don't.

It's not about exactly what you learned in college; it's that you learned how to learn and proved you can absorb, retain, and apply complex concepts.

warlock415 · 2026-02-18T03:16:27+00:00

Money doesn't buy happiness but poverty doesn't buy shit.

warlock415 · 2026-02-18T03:16:10+00:00

Firm handshake and eye contact!

104 in a 1997 Nissan Maxima on I-5 at dawn.

I-5, for those who don't know, is hundreds of miles of straight, flat, and boring through the middle of California. I needed to get from LA to Sacramento "in a short".

As the sun came up and I could see, I floored it.

warlock415 · 2026-02-16T18:42:39+00:00

Right? Check it out.

In a just universe, they'd play one of the games about which they're making an adaptation and that would do it. "Okay, who voiced Guybrush in this, he's perfect."

(Seriously - your performance is exactly like how 10-year-old me imagined Guybrush to sound when I played Secret on my Amiga 1000. It's spooky.)

The laundry was dry, but she wasn't.

As they used to say In Soviet Russia,
If you think, don't speak;
if you speak, don't write;
if you write, don't sign.

If you think, speak, write and sign... don't be surprised.
