This happened to me on my daughters Lenovo. Got a windows update overnight. Updated while traveling in the car. Wouldn’t boot. Apparently the BIOS updated and there was no fix. Had to send gor a replacement under warranty. Sent it off, took 8 weeks to get it back. Wasn’t even the same serial number, just a replacement with no sdd.

Les see… there was music, tv, then DnD, then computers, then video games, and smartphones. Just in my lifetime. Remember how video games created a generation of psychopathic murderers? I have too many bodies to hide I tell ya…

Corporations are people. Thanks to Citizens United. Though I’d gladly give up TikTok for the court to reverse this decision.

And now we’re in an age of nuclear fusion. My kid or grandkids may live in a world powered by even cleaner reactors. Which is great because they will probably have to live entirely indoors.

Originally it was just the poorer people. They lowered the discount and increased the qualifications for some reason.

We’ll get it to you. Some day, your 40yr old cable or 70yr old copper line will be replaced and you’ll be connected to the 20 yr old fiber line 800 ft from your house. Then when that shit breaks we’ll repair it and double your rates to recoup the costs.

Are .22 rounds still hard to find? Been awhile since I’ve bought any. I don’t practice much and I think before my dad died he was falling down the prepper hole.

Maybe its due to my age, but I use YT for tutorials on diy or fixing shit. I get 20s in, then whammo, ad. Just as the guy is focusing in on the area I need to see. I am watching a 5min video and 2min of ads… it is ridiculous.
