I came to the comments hoping that someone had acknowledged that lack of water has consistently led to war.

They're also kinda weird. Unlike wine,

A million might just be enough to pay for one of the city's bad cop lawsuits.

Rand Paul was taking him on about it. I'll always watch a Kentucky duel. I know everyone hates Rand Paul on both sides of the aisle, but my opinion is that even if you hate his views, he's consistent with them. Better than that slimy turtle swamp creature by far.

+1 for the woodchipper!

I mean, you will succeed in turning some people away from Megan Kelly but mostly only dying boomers are watching her anyway.

There's a few pedos in every group, also pedo haters. JD Delay is not a Trumper but he's conservative and always advocates for the woodchipper for pedophiles, but he's been mostly pointing out pedophiles on the left. That said, he would advocate the woodchipper for any and all of them. His merch includes ""Make Pedophiles Scared Again" shirts and "Woodchipper for President '28" hats.

I had shitty American school French when I went to Paris and I did my best, and nearly everyone said they didn't speak any English which I knew was a fucking lie. I have since decided not to speak French. I've still got Dutch, German, Korean and a little bit of Norwegian on top of English. France is the only country in Europe I don't want to visit again. Rural France was better but I still don't plan to go back.

There is also more legal protection from trespassing. It isn't illegal to be on a public road or sidewalk in a neighborhood you don't live in, and you can't be trespassed unless you commit a crime. If the road and sidewalk are privately owned they can tell you to leave for any/no reason.

Me too. Cheers!

 

Is it just a picture from the cool market near me, or is it more?

My son has my family's oldest gaming PC, it's an i7 4790 with a 1660 TI and 16GB DDR3. It wasn't booting the last couple of days. I had time to look at it so we disconnected everything and threw it on the table with some good light and connected it to power so I could see what it was doing.

It was clear his three case fans were all dying, one was completely dead. One was in poor condition and one was starting to make noise. I already had extra case fans brand new in box sitting in my house, but I assumed old fans weren't what was keeping it from booting.

We removed all three bad fans, and with the case wide open, both sides front and top removed, I blew it out a little bit with canned air. It wasn't that dirty, just a little bit of dust came out. I checked with my fingers to see that the ram seemed seated and that all the connections seemed okay, but I didn't disconnect and reconnect anything, I just touched it.

I turned on the PC with no case fans (only an old CPU cooler connected) and it booted up. So we installed the three new case fans, and tested it again. It booted up again. We put it all back together and connected all the peripherals and it's working absolutely flawlessly.

So I am asking a question, but I want you for context to know that I have repaired hundreds of PCs, maybe close to a thousand. I have never fixed a boot issue by replacing case fans. I have read that some 20+ year-old PCs maybe would have that issue, but from what I understand a 12-year-old PC should not have boot impacted by case fans. So here's my question: was this just a ghost in the system, or is this actually possibly a real thing?

TL:DR We fixed his computer with three new case fans and the tiniest bit of canned air. Help me make it make sense.
