Arrastra. Self-sufficient mining ship, with living quarters for a decent size crew, good cargo space, and an onboard refinery.

God, the gowns. My friends were so confused at what was up with that, but admittedly they also said it was cool that trash could pile up like that. I agree, but like mentioned above, a six hour limit for trash would be nice.

Yuuup, old people loved that shit. If they wanted a numpad, it was either that, or the 17" HP with 4GB of RAM and a 250GB HDD in the sub-300 market. Tried my best to deter them, still returned with a different computer for setup afterwards.

Yup, just a confused component trying to compensate for something that's not actually going on

I'm not gonna lie I forgot that was actually an elevator, I just use it as a garbage chute because if you put a Cruz bottle in there and send it down, the transition to zero g ejects it laterally into space LOL

If I had to escape a ship that had initiated self-destruct, I would rather try and escape a Reclaimer from the cockpit than an MSR. At least the Starlifters have a ladder to jump down if the elevator is already up, lol

Since all 15 comments are jokes:

It's the ANC trying to filter out what it thinks it's hearing but it's actually the materials being compressed under mechanical stress. First Gen airpods used to do this too.

Might also happen if you smack your earbud really hard while it's in your ear, but at that point I think that's the least of your worries, lol.

....I don't think it was a risk of Rain reference but I thought about it too

Mhm, B-series. My grandfather helped restore one for Roush racing, and the amount of large-form components in those things is unreal. Especially now that they're all assembled and most parts are riveted during transport as opposed to during construction.

For me, I have an NFC sticker roll for applying to business cards that link to a website I can update the content of. Contact information, a PDF with pricing, etc. If you took consultations, you could probably link the scheduler or something there too.

That way anything you can't fit on the card easily is still accessible, while also keeping the cost of the cards down and the information up to date.

Though all the same, you could sacrifice some space for a QR code as well.

I saw your profile picture first so I misread the tone of the comment as disgust lmao

Edit: verbage

I stay working small hours at Geek Squad for the employee discount, and the other month I replaced a faulty MSI board under warranty. Then another when the replacement was dead on arrival. Took another from the floor, it was also dead.

The asus board worked and the client hasn't been back from what I know, and at this point that's enough for me, LMFAO.

Xerox Star endpoint terminals did it in 1981, a lot of them were sold with slightly simplified keyboards without dedicated F keys for end users on a networked office or for CAD, so you could hold Fn on the left while manipulating a value or position of an onscreen cursor in decimal steps with the arrows on the right. IBM adopted the FN cursor system in 1984 with the standard and wireless IR keyboards, but their FN keys were directly above the arrow keys instead of to the left of where the Ctrl key generally is today.

Same. Bought it on GOG before release, bought it for Steam later. Got a PS4 pretty late in the console cycle, and bought it there. Got a PS5, got it there too. Bought it for friends, bought it on Switch. Definitely one of the best open world games on Switch.

Personally, I knew this because I found the "Zombie Apocalypse" training manual for the US military that was written as an exercise, and then the next Wikipedia article was about the IRS plan.

Yup, I use isopropanol to remove batteries from iPhones. Amazing stuff, long as you don't have a papercut. It'll help you find it, though.

LMAO that username

Probably a time thing from what I gather from another comment..but in this case what I'm blown away by the seething bukkake of flux that's all over the wires and slathered across the side of the transformer. Didn't bother with any IPA to clean it off. But another comment elaborated on why it happened that way. Still, ugh.

Thank you for clarifying this all. I wish I could pin something as a top comment.

I agree with your sentiment about the company. Just as someone now doing board repairs on their own, I was furious to see this when it was sent to me. God knows what would've happened if you turned that thing on with the solder up against the wrong part of that transformer it's sitting on.

No, that's my bad, I don't know TV software.

I'm a microsoldering tech for the most part and so I'm just very used to flexes being broken from movement and shock. Used to this kind of flickering from impact damage to a corner causing damage to the panel, but the most common I've seen has been a dead MOSFET on a power rail feeding a controller, though to be fair I've only ever had my hands on expensive TVs worth fixing, and not... well, anything Insignia.

Is this the fucking Spore forums?
