Growing up did you have a celebrity crush on some who was NOT the typical standard of beauty?

Republicans Think Talarico Will Beat Paxton

Before the Colbert bump she was 8 points ahead in the polls. I really like both candidates. I am personally rooting for Talarico because he is well spoken enough that I can see him getting groomed as a democratic presidential candidate in 6-10 years.

Ferris Bueller did not age well

That’s my thought too. I haven’t seen it in a while so I thought maybe he was disrespectful to restaurant staff or something, but every time I recall he outwits someone it’s an authority figure over him… the very definition of punching UP.

Yeah, the scene where he tricks the cheerleader into having sex with him thinking it was her boyfriend but he was so good as it she started dating him sent such horrible messages impressionable nerds.

If that $10 is on the books and not under the table, then sure, he would be an employee and you could, but I think you can only do it a little more than what your losses would be.

I think not exactly what they are saying. You have to show you would suffer a loss that needs to be compensated. For example, a pivotal employee in the company whose death would cause losses for the company, absolutely you can place a reasonable life insurance policy on them. However, the homeless guy down the street that you know won’t last the winter… not so much.

Pass a law that health insurance companies are required to pay first and ask questions later.

Kinda shitty for the doctor. If that were the case then the doctor would go ahead and turn down anything that could potentially be rejected, ESPECIALLY if they see you have shitty insurance. Why should the doctor, who is on your side (at least should be, I know mine is) put his financial security at risk to approve me for an operation and then he gets sued if it’s not covered?

His early stuff was good but after his wife left him he directed a lot of his ire at her. An ex wife joke is funny from time to time but when it becomes half of your act you just feel bad for her and get why she left. He also dove into politics and fed into a lot of right wing racist tropes.

feeling guilty for buying a pc

I also wanted to be exempt from upgrading for 4-5+ years. It never ceases to amaze me how people are willing to pay 3x now to avoid paying 2x 4 years from now. The need to upgrade is all about perspective. People are still rocking GTX 1080 cards even today. You could get a 4080 Super and pay far less than a 4090 with a very minimal price jump.

I feel personally attacked right now 😅

Kids machine - best bang for your buck for a processor/motherboard combo preferably using DDR4

Posted by ShawnyMcKnight@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 8 comments

Thanks for the info. I probably wouldn’t want to buy a new card, although this one is probably only an AC wifi card. Although that may be all my router is anyway.

Thanks, wondering if the 5600 is the way to go here. May look into some clearance sales for a mini atx so I can have some pci-e ports and not everything is so crowded.

Ah yes, I have one pci-e for a wireless internet adapter, but maybe this already has that built in? Thanks for the suggestions, if it comes to that then maybe I’ll see what holiday bundles there is at microcenter this fall and get the lowest end one.

Thanks! Man, I’m bummed that I missed out on the 5600x bundle at microcenter, it’s about the same price as these. Is there any disadvantage of a microATX over ATX? Maybe I’m just spoiled by the space.

can't read brand new SSD on old Skylake computer

Posted by ShawnyMcKnight@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments

ShawnyMcKnight@reddit (OP)

Yeah. I suspected the sata cable and that’s why the old drive was acting up. I tried different sata cables and a different sata port. My last ditch effort is to try the drive on another computer and see if it mounts.

Posted by ShawnyMcKnight@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments

ShawnyMcKnight@reddit (OP)

Thanks for the suggestion! I did try that. I moved around the SATA cables and then suspected a bad cable. So I swapped out the drive that did work and plugged the sata in there (as you see in the picture). Then just to be sure, after that didn't work I plugged in the old drive that did work before but was getting corrupt and it still mounted.

Can confirm, I got two sticks that were exactly the same except the timing was a a couple off and it would crash when trying to run them at the 3200MHz they were clocked at.

Who was your biggest Xennial celebrity crush?

Why are you limiting it to 40+ women? Your criteria is being a lead in a star wars saga is pretty close to the top, but if a 20 year old actress was a lead in a show she is not close to the top? Why are you suddenly limiting what is "close to the top" by age? Here's 133 of them. [https://m.imdb.com/list/ls025202785/](https://m.imdb.com/list/ls025202785/) Not only that but just being in a sitcom is FAR from being on top when it comes to acting and having a "bigger career in Hollywood". Being in a sitcom is hardly as good as being in blockbuster movies when it comes to having a bigger career in Hollywood. Fine, you want a solid 40+ year old with a sitcom, Ellen Pompeo, her show so far has run 19 times longer than Ashoka. To list people in hollywood FAR exceeding her about 40 or over I can start with Sandra Bullock, Gal Gadot, Lady Gaga (38 years old), Jennifer Lopez, and Emily Blunt. Hell, even Jamie Lee Curtis made twice what she made. Ashoka didn't even do well, having lower numbers than Kenobi and Mandalorian. She made 2 million from the deal. [https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/08/29/ahsoka-viewing-numbers-are-well-below-the-mandalorian-obi-wan-kenobi/?sh=6350c27a38bc](https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/08/29/ahsoka-viewing-numbers-are-well-below-the-mandalorian-obi-wan-kenobi/?sh=6350c27a38bc) Time to get some new criteria on what having a big career in Hollywood means.

Did you grow up with hard disks or floppy disks?

Posted by ChalkDstTorture@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 1200 comments

ShawnyMcKnight@reddit

Yup, not sure what that first one was called but the others were 5.25 inch floppy disks and 3.5 inch. Mainly if you broke open the plastic or slid over the metal cover you would see the floppy disk.

The quality of Dell has tanked

Posted by DeifniteProfessional@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 945 comments

ShawnyMcKnight@reddit

A couple decades back I was having issues with a Dell and wanted to just return it since it was within the 30 day window. The tech person kept saying “before you return it, try this and give it a few days”. They did that for a week and then I just said no, I want to return it, and the reply was “I’m sorry sir, it’s been 31 days since purchase so you are past your return window.”
