I tried to find the names of major places that did custom rigs and then tried to find as many reviews as I could about them.

In the end I chose Origin PC. I would recommend them to anyone who has the budget. They do have some prebuilt options that you can choose from or you can customize, which is what I did. I got exactly what I ordered and have had no problems so far. I attached some pictures to show the amazing wooden crate they shipped it in (and it was well padded inside) and what my build ended up looking like (those were the default lights, I have a much more subdued lighting scheme now).

I love it. This was very much the sort of reward I chose for myself when I finally crossed that financial threshold. I had already started to lose my enthusiasm for VR at that point but wanted a really high end gaming PC that could do VR, RTX, anything I threw at it. I went all out and tried to get the best rig I could at the time along with a giant curved gaming monitor. I didn’t build it myself and spent WAY too much on the setup.

I regret nothing.

So hard to answer exactly as Disney was included with my cell phone plan. I never asked to add or change anything and AFAIK I don’t have ESPN. One day I got an email from Disney that Hulu was now available in the app.

Don’t forget the rest:

“…and in long “a” such as neighbor and weigh.”

Everybody is stuck on defending salt while I’m like….land? Like real estate? Because there are definitely reasons to buy nicer properties than cheaper ones. I’m confused.

I have no evidence of this theory but I suspect that it is partly a result of careful manipulation.

Many buttons/menus in iOS utilize the blue color for text or backgrounds that also is used when you message another iOS device. The result is that it feels congruent and natural within the color scheme of the operating system - if you are messaging an Apple device.

The green color used for messages to non Apple devices is somewhat jarring in comparison and subtly (or subconsciously) gives you the impression that something is not right. Additionally the green that was chosen provides less contrast to the white text (relative to the darker blue & white). So reading the green bubbles is just a little more effort. These effects combine to a general sense of unpleasantness.

I believe all of this is deliberate on Apple’s part and isn’t as simple as someone “caring” about colors but rather the situation being engineered to make them care.

This is a really well told and interesting answer. Thank you for sharing!

I’m a radiologist and I too have seen multiple cases of vertebral artery dissections and stroke immediately following chiropractic manipulation. Absolutely no chance I would ever suggest someone see a chiropractor.

You seem to be the only commenter here who recognizes that this would be amazing for pediatric patients - who coincidentally receive way more vaccines than adults.

Can confirm. Used to work for a big retailer and one day caught someone stealing (not food) and confronted them. I was a pretty solid employee who had been there for years but my manager had to fight hard to stop me from being fired; it was a really close call.

I have been looking for something like this, thank you so much!

This is so true. In fact I’m still using a 90’s HP laser jet printer and it’s a beast.

We grew up in the south, right on the edge of the Midwest though. I remember one time my wife’s grandpa talking about how when he was a kid they all had ice skates because the ponds would freeze in the winter and the kids would skate. I was like that’s cool but the ponds don’t really freeze that solid in the winter.

Much later I had a moment of realization.

I unsubscribed and started boycotting it when I watched a video one day and it wasn’t clear to me that the whole video was a sponsored ad until the very end when they dropped a line like “Oh and thanks to our sponsor XYZ for giving us all of the hardware we showed you today.”

I was watching multiple reviews on products I was a shopping for and realized they were an unreliable source if they didn’t disclose this was basically a shill video until the last few minutes.
