To be clear, I meant that 3 1/2" were already the standard by about 1986.

(not a lawyer)

It’s still fairly meaningfully cheaper to build your own. One of my buddies just built a good Ryzen 5 system that was likely $300+ cheaper than it would have been to buy it pre-built. It took him no more than three hours from unboxing to gaming; everything is essentially plug-and-play these days.

I was in college in the late ‘80s. I almost never saw a 5 1/4" drive even back then. The last 5 1/4 I remember using actively was on my Commodore 64.

Fair enough.

Yeah, no. The majority of homelessness is caused by mental illness and substance abuse. Without a system that provides quality mental health and substance abuse care to the poor, a theoretical “second chance” is worth shit.

You might want to do a quick history check, because he sure as shit was (until he wasn’t). Back when PdVSA was rolling in the dough, and he was distributing it to the people (but mostly to his cronies) it was an American socialist’s paradise/wet dream. After he fucked it up, well, failure is a fucking orphan once…

Reagan was at the helm when the Soviet Union collapsed under it’s own weight

Who said anything about the poors? It’s not the greatest worded, but it makes sense on some levels. There are a variety of reasons that people are homeless, but the major ones are mental illness and substance abuse (which are often coupled together). To the extent that in-patient treatment facilities are more…

I will pay big bucks for a Downtown Abbey / Peaky Blinders crossover movie. Make it so people! You know that Lady Mary would be in bed with Tommy Shelby in the first 10 5 3 minutes.

An attendee of the gathering named Shiran, 26, who recently received a degree in sustainability from Harvard’s extension school, said he didn’t get intimate iPhone selfies, only booty pics, but would be “pumped” if he did. He looked disappointed when he saw the shot and deemed Vivien’s “not well curated.”

Remember lagers? Sour beers?

Here’s my theory. It’s Nationals tickets. A $100 seat would cost $8100 per year. Buy 8 of those, and he’s now in reporting territory at $60K+.

$60,000 is an “outrageous amount” of perosnal debt? No. It’s not. Especially if you’re working on two government salaries.

It’s not unbelievable. There are plenty of Nationals tickets that cost $100+ per game. Let’s say that he bought 8 of those—not only to go to the game but to try and scalp some tickets and make some money. That would be roughly $64,800. The people he bought tickets for would pay for them yearly. Ticket brokers or…

If only his profile had said that he’s “fluent in sarcasm.”

There doesn’t seem to be a “licensing deal” (i.e. Company A pays her 10% of sales to use her name on their brand.). It appears that it is a contract manufacturing deal (Kylie Cosmetics pays company A to manufacture her cosmetics for her. KylieCo buys those cosmetics from A for x and sells it to consumers at 3x). She…

Maybe, but I’m also going to feel pretty fucking liberated when I get in my self-driving living room at night in Denver and wake up in Chicago the next morning. How about I take my AR with me--good compromise?

That looks too much like a Taurus/Sable wagon. Not gonna fight the Outback with that (to the extent that you’re actually going to be able to “fight” the Outback at all).

I’ll just leave this here:
