MSI recently pushed a firmware update on my motherboard that somehow reset the device ID, so windows decided I wasn't running genuine windows anymore.

I lived with the watermark for a few months, then kept running out of space on my old 256gb windows drive (all I could afford at the time) and I decided that instead of just migrating to larger drive and buying another copy of windows, I'd take the leap and just do it. It was unexpectedly painless.

My one concern was gaming, specifically helldivers, which has been pretty much the only thing I can play with my friends. Turns out, it just.... runs.... everything else... just... runs...

The last time I tried linux was like 10 years ago, and its definitely come a long way, at least with some of the more consumer level distros.

Oh and the album is called "Pandemoniumfromamerica"

Okay but for real, they have actually produced music together. There's an album that Virgo Mortensen produced with this weird fucker called buckethead, who just wears a KFC bucket on his head, and a white mask, and just.... is really good at guitar. There are a few appearances of frodo, merry, and Pippin in that album. No Sam tho.... :( The music isnt really my speed, but I can definitely respect it.

The flag is just an object. The only ones bound to treat it with respect by any laws are those who work for the government. the flag code does not apply to civilians. The flag should be treated with the same respect that our government treats us with.

Good eyes! I wonder how theyre actuated?

At what point does it become prudent to actually add brakes to the trailer like a truck would have? 300kgs (plus trailer, rider, etc) is a lot of weight for two bike wheels to stop.

I wonder what that would look like from a bike builders perspective.

Where can this 10 hour midwest emo Playlist be found?

There's an area in the cascade range (western US, specifically oregon) that is a giant field of knapped obsidian, that was used as a training ground for young knappers, as well as a trading ground to trade knapped obsidian that has been found all over the western US. Not just miles, but many many miles. I'll see if I can go find a link.

I dont think it's a banjo fitting. Fairly certain banjo fittings are not meant to move once tightened down. Another poster is right though, if you take it to a hose shop, they will probably be able to cut the old hose off and crimp a new one on. Just google "hose shop in [your town]" and there's likely to at least be one in the next town over. I live in a mid sized city and there are like 3.

I have a tree like this in my front yard. It fell down in the 60s during a windstorm when my dad was a kid, and then the stump grew a new shoot. The "new" tree is 60 years old and covers most of the front yard. Every may, it turns into a giant pink ball almost overnight.

Wow. What a throwback. He ranted about those movie titles on harmontown how many years ago? That had to have been close to a decade ago.

A bit late to the party and maybe you've already come across this in your search. But i figured just to add to the conversation, here's an article about how to sew a dart (more in the non leather sense. Apparently there's some a real skill to it, but I'm sure with some practice, you can nail it.

As close as I could get. I couldn't find in a brief search of the site if there was a staff lookup. But I'm pretty sure you can look up an licensed teacher if you know what state they're in, which Is how I found that she's licensed and active in that district.

Hooooo boy. There's a lot you can't do. If you have a rifle (that uses a 'rifle' round as opposed to a pistol round), your barrel must be over a certain length. But if you have a "rifle" that is chambered in say 9mm (a pistol round), doesn't matter. Barrel could be 4 inches long. But then it can't have a stock. So you have a "wrist brace" (read:totally not a stock I promise) instead. There's a bunch of wacky shit the atf and congress have come up with.

Liver spots are a skin condition that fairly old people sometimes get. They're like big, dark freckles. Usually pretty harmless. The above poster is referring to Debian not accepting packages unless they're quite old.

You're correct that slop in the threads just means some extra backlash. I could see, depending on the construction of the vise, having some axial play due to that slop being bad, but vises usually have some other means to control movement in that direction. The only thing the threaded piece does is push or pull.

I get that you probably didn't mean much by it but don't let if be "a balm to your soul" let it inspire you to action and speaking up against this regime.

Thanks for the info. I'm stoked that they didn't get buried by the lawsuit. They employ a lot of people in my community and their Chilipeño chips are the bomb!

I just noticed the Juantonitos instead of Juanitas thing in the store tonight. And I felt like I was being gaslit. Like a Bearenstien bears gag. When did that happen? I would have thought I would have heard about it because they've got a factory in the next town over.

If someone made half a million a year I'd say they were rich... half a million in total assets would just mean you own a home and might have something saved for retirement.

I'm not saying that it's poor, and I know that there's a good chunk of America that's "worth" less than like 10k, and probably a good number of people who are in the negative, but half a million isn't fabulously rich.

Half a million is within reach for people who didn't start out dirt poor, got an education, and a professional gig. I say this as someone who would be worth less than 10k if I didn't inherit my home. A lot of people's Net Worth Includes things that they can essentially never turn into actual money, but it still acts as a money saving asset.
