Student loans, even when used properly, are essentially designed to keep you in debt

Absolutely. It's the new indentured servitude. Conversely, I believe education should be free or very low cost as it is a betterment to society.

I'm also with you on CC. Fortunately I do well enough, but I live within my means and pay it off each month. I put things off I cannot afford until I've saved enough for it. Or I just do without. If they had layaway, I'd do that since I grew up with that sort of thing.

Oh, I quite agree. Reading through it (again) I had many mental pauses saying to myself, "That's where I'd die." An incredible feat for sure.

You can do it!!!

"Rogozov had intended to use a mirror to help him operate but he found its inverted view too much of a hindrance so he ended up working by touch, without gloves.

As he reached the final and hardest part of the operation, he almost lost consciousness. He began to fear he would fail at the final hurdle.

'The bleeding is quite heavy, but I take my time... Opening the peritoneum, I injured the blind gut and had to sew it up,' Rogozov wrote. 'I grow weaker and weaker, my head starts to spin. Every four to five minutes I rest for 20 - 25 seconds.'

'Finally here it is, the cursed appendage! With horror I notice the dark stain at its base. That means just a day longer and it would have burst… My heart seized up and noticeably slowed, my hands felt like rubber. Well, I thought, it's going to end badly and all that was left was removing the appendix.'

But he didn't fail. After nearly two hours he had completed the operation, down to the final stitch."

“See you in court!”

All my sisters went into healthcare. The men all went into IT. I suppose the women care and the men are into constantly fixing things? IDK.

There are plenty of Reddit refuges here so we can still get those old vibes.

I think the lack of context hurt your post the most. And as another mentioned, youboob doesn’t do very well here.

He’s accountable to Putin.

Everything he’s doing is in service to him. Trump is a Russian operative. It all makes sense in that light.

Yes, need to see this later.

I very much appreciate these historical perspective posts!

Just change the names and you've got the news for the next year.

Those reasons you responded to are ancillary and for another day. A brass-ring for the fascists for sure if they can pull it off.

The basic reasons are more immediate: sowing instability with (US and NATO) allies in order to tear down the fabric between nations aligned against Russia. Thus removing impediments for Russian expansion of power or territory. The resulting and effective distraction is for instituting fascism and the ransacking of our coffers mentioned by someone else and is also very real. The primary goals are Russian goals. The secondary goals are the prizes for the oligarchs and any that help with the primary goals.

Probably a sweetened popcorn version. Kettle corn maybe.

"Jumping the shark" is the term for this. I remember watching Happy Days when the Fonz did just that.

Do you think they care about function? Are you not already aware that destruction and mayhem are the points? These a-holes are not here to serve or help the public, they are here to cause as much damage to the US (and US interests) as possible. The wrecking-ball of Speed and Confusion are among the tactics used. The plan seems to be: once the corpse is bled and torn asunder, it'll get divvied out to the other richer a-holes (donor class) waiting for their cut whilst the US as a superpower is severely diminished or wiped out. Unfortunately for all involved, it appears to be working.

No, I would search for your motherboard model and forums to see what situations might match yours so that you might glean something useful as far as settings go. A quick check revealed nothing useful that stands out to me. Resetting all electrical connections was the lone useful tip. (The reddit link blocked me, lol. Fine) Perhaps more detailed (or different) search terms would produce better results.

I think you've taken the right steps to this point. Another CPU to test with would prove useful (though your original should suffice). Or another board to test this CPU in. Perhaps the shop you procured this one from has one or the other? Otherwise, I would pursue replacement.

What motherboard? What cpu did you have? Is this new Ryzen 5600 on the hardware list for the motherboard? If so, are there any voltage, stepping or other settings (listed in the manual) required to make it run stably?

Make sure the new cpu is clean with no potential shorts from anything. Also ensure good heatsink contact. If you’ve done all the normal and necessary steps then yes it might be a bad cpu, but they aren’t frequent failure items in my experience. Disagreeable conditions for the cpu is more commonly the culprit. Engineering sample cpus are the most fickle, but even some normal batch cpus might sometimes require a bit more (or less) juice or a system tweak.

Drive a screw into it. This is far easier to do with a carpeted floor since the screw head (and hole) is not as noticeable. Be aware not to have any screw heads sticking up anywhere when done. They do also make special screws that will snap the head off once sunk. Thus leaving no major visible trace, but you could use normal screws as long as you got them flush.

Try sinking the screw down on or near a squeaky spot in an attempt to tighten it up. You'll need that screw to hit a floor joist as well to have something for the floor surface to tighten to. Sink one screw and test. If it didn't help, back it out and try elsewhere nearby. It helps if you can identify the joist pattern for your floor.

You could also try from below the floor assuming access was available. But in that case, I'd also use caulk/glue from there too to help quite things down.

I would not do anything from above for a finished wood floor. Too easy to mess it up and your landlord would charge you for the damage. It is potentially do-able with finish nails, skill and careful precision (which I lack).

TYVM, Doc!

I keep seeing librewolf mentioned, so I’ve begun making the switch.

Is it possible to copy a profile over so sessions/tabs continue? Just curious. I am a tab hoarder.
