There is one in a local VFW near me. It's a straight $10 and it's like $11 and some change in the store, so it brings in a crowd.

The DNC basically dragged him out of retirement in 2020 because establishment couldn't handle anyone scary like Bernie or someone young.

This isn't really a book about being 2d, rather creatures being flattened by a stars gravity thar they live in.

It's called Dragon's Egg And was a really tripped read.

The plot is essentially a group of scientists go study a neutron star with some advanced tech (related to what we have now) that helps them weather some gravity problems. They discover that the star is inhabited by creatures made from nuclei bound by the strong force. They try to communicate with these tiny sesame sized creatures, but 1 of their days = 0.2 seconds human time... so communication is tricky.

I would love to see him detain every scotus justice and stash em in a safe house for their protection/national security. Give them no freedom of movement or agency over their lives... see if they change their tune.

Go a step further and detain them in safe houses... claim that because of their decision their have been death threats and its in the interest of natuonal security. Give them basically no freedom of movement or agency of their lives... I bet they would change their tune quickly.

He did... then the DNC said "we don't like these people, please run Mr. Biden, we beg you!"

Kicking the can down the road to buy him time.

I mean he would certainly make a mark as one of the most interesting president's yet by doing so...

A lot of states have mail in voting

Just do it publicly then, right after court ends. Just detain them, and their body gaurds if you need to.

Can you buy different sound packs? I would want mine to make a "wub wub wub" sound...

 

I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

 

[Resolved!]

I traded my cousin some really expensive RAM that I happened accross for his old desktop, that he put his graphics card into that he swapped from his newer computer. If I plug the desktop into the wall and try to turn it on nothing happens. If I open it up I can see that the where the wire from the power supply plugs into the graphics card there Is a little light on. So clearly some power is getting somewhere...

How do I go about trouble shooting this, and what tools do I need? I assume at minimum a multi meter? Not really sure what to do, it's been decades the last time I built a computer.

Board says "Asrock H110M-HDS"

Edit: Attached a Pic and noticed the light is actually on the graphics card, not motherboard. Added addtl info.

Update: So now all of the sudden the fan spins. I am at a loss as to why it spins now, as I haven't actually really done anything. I ordered a speaker for the mobo, so waiting for that.

Final update: It works! I apparently had either a bad monitor or bad display port cable. But using another monitor with DVI I was able to finally get it to fully boot!

I am not sure what got the fans to eventually work, maybe just a cable was jostled.

I really appreciate all the advice! I definitely know a lot more and feel better equipped to do things with it now.

 

I had to squat over a urine covered toilet seat and had the titled thought...
