Atlantis was talking mad shit. They had to respond.

Windows has been alternating between good and crap for decades. ME, crap. XP, good. Vista, crap. 7, good. 8/8.1, crap. 10, good…ish. 11, steaming feces. 12 will probably be at least half decent.

Stage 4 is picking and choosing which meetings are worth your time to attend.

Perhaps Albion Online for a similar kind of game?

Bubsy 3D. The controls were awkward, the platforming was horrendous, and the levels were nonsensical.

Potato buns are where it’s at. Light, soft, it lets the burger ingredients do the talking.

Interesting. I just started Metformin and it sucks ass. The results are noticeable as early as day two but the side effects are harsh.

What pills do that for type 2?

It was a local restaurant run by a shady businessman who’s known for running less than good quality restaurants. Whatever, I figured, it was cheap and close to my house.

Except me and my family were served rotten meat when we ate there. The manager only wanted to give us a 20% discount. Like hell I’m paying for rotten food. Never again.

Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.

I find that a sudden, deep diaphragmatic gasp and holding it for 20-30 seconds does it for me. But it needs to be harsh, otherwise it doesn’t work.

Super Mario Bros 2 did the one you’re talking about. I think Mario 64 onwards as well. However, the one OP is talking about is common in Half-Life.

Burn MF - Five Finger Death Punch

Turns out people don’t wanna pay console/PC prices to play games on their mobile devices. Who knew.

Care to explain?

If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.

1. Unplug the power
2. Wait ~30 seconds, just to ensure it’s good and off
3. Plug it back in

Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.

I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.

Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.

For those of us who have ages in the double digits… who and what?
