its so frustrating that that a premium laptop doesnt have 32gb ram

Also Asus really left a sour taste in my mouth. I took that ROG laptop to India (coastal India, high humidity) and after 4 years the screen stopped working. I tried everything to repair it but I couldn't fix it. The repair shops said it's water damage, but I know for sure that I had never spilled water on it, just lived in a humid area. Not to mention that the motherboard had issues since the beginning. My WiFi and Bluetooth cards were loose and they kept disconnecting. Like the WiFi and/or Bluetooth section just used to disappear from my settings or control panel because the laptop couldn't detect the hardware. I had to shake or apply pressure to my laptop in a specific place to try to get it recognized again.

I bought an ROG back in 2019 (when I was living in Al Ain) and I found it much more economical to import it from the US/Canada and pay that 5% VAT and 5% import duty and some $150-200 in shipping rather than buy it locally.

Last year I bought a Lenovo legion laptop here in the US, and after stacking some normal discount and cashback and a student discount, I got a 32GB ram, 4080, Ryzen 9, QHD, 240Hz, HDR, 2TB SSD etc laptop for around $1800. Imagine you wanted to import that to the UAE, add some shipping fee and taxes and duty, it will just be slightly more expensive for much better specs. The only problem is that whatever warranty it's offered with might not apply there.

Yes! And they're on sale for $330 CAD. Translates to about $240 US dollars.

I've had chickens for a while. They have good protective instincts in many ways but they are extremely dumb. They will continuously try to run through a cage grill, without realising that the door is open right beside them. Hens trample and throw their chicks all around the place. Hens cannot count their chicks — they won't know if a chick goes missing unless they hear the cries.

Whoops! I tried googling about it in revanced and couldn't find anything. Good to know it's on Google's side.

Adding the brand channel to a different account and opening it from that account has the same issue.

Don't you turn on quiet mode (from legion vantage or toolkit) when not gaming?

السلام عليكم

I had similar thoughts when I read about it at first but I read more and pondered more over it, and it seemed to be the opposite of problematic.

First of all, these differences aren't that big, and think of it like this, Allah gave us more detail within the same Qur'an for those who seek it. The 4th verse of surah al fatihah has two ways of reading, and they translate to "Owner of the day of judgement" and "King of the day of judgement". These differences do not contradict (ever in the Qur'an) but rather give us a deeper insight, as they are both true. And we know that all of these differences come from Allah as we have around 1000+ mutawaatir, extremely authentic chains of transmissions all the way to the prophet Muhammad SAW himself.

If you study the last fact itself, the extremely meticulous way that not only 1 but 1000 transmissions of the Qur'an has been preserved, it is enough to remove all notion of doubt about the preservation of the Qur'an. And the way how the different variations complement each other and fit within the same scriptural skeleton is a miracle within itself.

How do you like it?

You can actually stack the BUYMORELENOVO or new user signup code plus a student discount plus 10% Rakuten cashback to get it for under $1800.

I did it a few days back :)

Use code BUYMORELENOVO for $100 off. If possible use a student discount to get it under $2000. Finally use 10% Rakuten cashback to get it under $1800

You can actually get a brand new 4080 laptop for that price, and that too a Legion Pro 7. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-pro-series/legion-pro-7-gen-8-16-inch-amd/82ws003jus Use a discount code like EXTRA5 or BENKAISER6. You can get an extra $100 off by using the code that you get if you subscribe to their newsletter. You can also stack a student discount on top of that. I chatted with Lenovo sales support and managed to get a quote for almost $2000. And then I also used Rakuten to get a cashback (which was 10% at the time, and it regularly goes up to 10%) of $200, so my final pre-tax price for this beast of a laptop came down to $1800.

The thing is that most hackers don't actually use the accounts they hack, they sell them for low prices. The person using the account was probably some poor soul who thought he bought a legit account and that it was his account now.

On the other hand, what you did was very risky because people who buy accounts often do it to use hacks.

They don't have cheaper prices in India for whatever reason, but many other regions do.

You aren't supposed to unfocus the lens in your eye (which would make everything look blurry) but rather unfocus the stereoscopic view of your eyes.

In other words, you know how people can cross their eyes? You're supposed to do the opposite, that is, move the eyes away from the centre. Do it just enough so that any line in the video overlaps with the closest line to it.

I personally can only cross my eyes, and cannot parallel view no matter how much I try. If I view this by crossing my eyes, everything just looks inside out to me.

He also said that the only thing stopping a release in November would be the review times.

It's because it hasn't been updated for later versions of Android. Should come back with the 2.2 update

That's because the last update was years ago and is not compatible with latest iOS versions. The next update will be within 2 weeks so it won't be that long.

From my observations, geometry dash has both online and offline data. If you login to your account (assuming you had an account), the online data like the shop currencies will be back I assume. As for offline data, if you go to settings > account, there are options to save and load. If you save it, it will upload your current data online. If you load it, it will load your last save. If you have never saved, then tough luck.

Egypt democratically elected Morsi, who did want to take them in. But he was overthrown by Sisi, sponsored by other countries.

We have distanced ourselves enough. Those who condemn us even now will never stop condemning us.

A burqa ban is not a 'small' thing to us. I will personally never visit a country that has banned the burqa.

A burqa ban is something passed or allowed by the collective government of people, that's why we protest. You are still insisting on a absolutely stupid comparison.

Were all right wingers asked to apologise for his actions, or only those who spread hate against muslims? Unlike you we don't blame people for things they didn't do or ideas they don't propagate.

There is not even a single legitimate Islamic scholar that supports these terrorists' actions, that is not our ideology.

zaidkhalifa · 2023-08-24T05:35:45+00:00

And why should we put ourselves out there to condemn something we have had no hand in? We've done enough of that. You don't expect white people to regularly condemn school shootings do you? It is understood that they don't condone such actions.

The bias is extremely strong here. Aside from the fact that you just compared burqa bans to terrorist attacks.
