You brought back some memories for me. Exiting the sewer for the first time. Setting graphics to full and waiting for the details to slowly emerge. An audible "wow" left my lips, then I set the graphics back down to as low as they could go so I could actually play.
Having worked in the industry, the machines detecting alcohol aren't unreliable, and the way they work gives the benefit of the doubt to the person blowing.
Refusing isn't an admission of guilt. You agree to submit to a chemical test in order to have a driver's license. The calibrated instruments are considered evidentiary tests, so refusal of either a blood or calibrated breath test results in an immediate revocation of your license, it's unrelated to whether or not you were sober.
The handheld devices can only provide probable cause to the officer, and they're usually ripped apart in court. They also only work with alcohol, so if there are any other drugs involved, they need to do a SFST anyway.
I can forgive the ram decision, they're producing laptops that can be upgraded in the future to keep them from becoming waste, not upgraded using old equipment now.
I actually do have 2230 ssds laying around. I bought a few used computers on eBay to use as servers that had 128gb versions of these little shits in them that I had assumed were 2.5" not m.2. Wouldn't use them in a new laptop for me, but it's plenty enough for a school laptop or device that isn't storing data on that particular drive.
I'm not going to rag on them for going with this form factor, because they are very conscious about their designs, but it isn't like it's hard to accommodate a range of m.2 sizes. You just need a little hole you can screw the mounting...screw into. Like, maybe you can't fit a 2280 in there, but from what I've seen 2242 is more common than 2230.
I'm pretty sure Putin played his narcissistic ass like a fiddle in the attempt to destabilize the US in order to win in Ukraine, and it's paid off so much more than he ever dreamed.
Sorry to say, this area is absolutely nothing like southern California. The largest populated area in the county is a village of 300 or so people. If you blink driving by, you'll miss it.
That said, they could slightly adjust their lifestyle and be just fine. Wolves are more important.
I'm actually pretty down with that that. We should be able and ready to produce whatever we need in case another country does what trump is doing or something happens that would prevent trade. If China attacks Taiwan, we should be able to produce our own chips. We should be able to function with as little dependence on other countries as possible.
In no way do tariffs fix that. You invest in yourself, slapping your friends because they're better than you at something is really fucking stupid.
My Xperia z3c from 2014 would be perfectly fine to use right now if Google didn't absolutely bloat the crap out of their products and it had an easily replaceable battery. If companies would just support their products for longer or release the sources when it's out of support i probably would have skipped several phone upgrades. But that's probably exactly why they don't.
Well, there's this which was the first result in a search for me. I would also make sure that you've allocated at least 500mb to a uefi boot partition, depending on what you meant by "old". I have found that sometimes there's a "secure boot" bootloader and one that just has the distro, but it doesn't mean the one you expect it to be will work. When you boot up at first I would mash the boot options key and see what shows up, if there's multiple options try them one by one. I suspect there's a boot setting in your BIOS that's not letting it boot properly.
You should name your modem "Bilbo" after this
