Probably will get pardoned if trump wins this fall...

For me I mostly just dislike the location of it. I have accidentally hit it many times. Would be better if it were somewhere up near the f1-f12 keys.

Ah, ya I see a boat in that link. Didn't even notice that link was in the text. I'm on mobile, just saw the main post video which is the one that OP described.

Eh, maybe it's different for people that only have to fill their tank every 3-4 weeks. I need to refill at least once per week so it's rare I save any significant amount of money filling up 2 days before I regularly would.

I'm also not sure why everyone would have the same price in mind to start immediately filling their tank at the "cheap" price to trigger a 12% increase amongst 8 different chains of gas stations all at the same time.

Many would be waiting for a few cents more or already pulled the trigger a few cents before.

I just don't think gasoline follows most free market supply/demand rules as much as most things.

I see the described video, no boat

Personally I don't believe that's the case. Most people fill up when they need to fill up not because it reached a magic price. It's not like most people have a choice and can say they aren't going to drive to work this week because gas needs to drop a few more cents before they go fill up.

It was the cheapest I had seen since 2021 last week for like 36 hours and then overnight jumped up 12%.

It always goes down slowly over a three week period and then hits a low for 1 day and then goes up 10% or more overnight.

Maybe with medication you can get a driver's license but I hope you wouldn't get a license for a truck that large

I would probably choose my favourite movie in SD, a few dozen of my favourite songs, a few dozen old school games, and then fill out the rest with a few hundred ebooks.

Variety can be way more valuable than pure quantity.

Still sucks though, since you need to carry the card around for the one time you may need to use it. And it's another step for people to go through who are just visiting the province to use the buses rather than just handing over a loonie or something

I avoid busses because I get anxious about paying for them. I don't use them enough to justify buying a monthly/yearly pass but I don't think they take cash? Tried walking on one time and the bus driver just seemed kind of annoyed when I offered to pay cash, not knowing how much it cost, and they just told me to go sit down so I got a free ride anyways. They don't exactly have time to explain how it works while driving. I would use them more if they were free.

They should have little nozzles to disperse a cloud of pepper spray around the vehicle in emergencies.

 

My PC constantly freezes if I'm not playing a game or have a game running.

✅ If I'm playing a game, it's fine.

✅ If I have a game running in the background while doing other stuff, it's fine.

❌ If I leave my PC while playing a game and the lock screen pops up, it will freeze.

❌ If I do anything other than gaming, such as browsing the web or digital art, PC will freeze.

❌ If PC goes to sleep overnight, it will freeze.

The frozen PC will typically show no error code and display will show "no input" until I hard reset.

If I hard reset, it often won't successfully turn back on unless I move the mouse while it's resetting, otherwise it will freeze again on the windows loading screen.

Sometimes I will actually get a blue screen with the error code of DPC_Watchdog_Error or something like that.

Anyone know where I should look first to try and fix this? It's been happening for weeks now and it's driving me crazy. I can't figure it out.

 

Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I've never seen before.

The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can't un-entangle without popping an end piece off

Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

 
 

Hello,

I am looking for some advice to help me out at my job. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.

So, basically my boss is a complete technophobe and all of our data is stored across multiple excel files in drop box and I'm looking for a way to change that into a centralized database. I know my way around a computer but writing code is not something I have ever been able to grasp well.

The main issue with our situation is that our workers are all completely remote, and no I don't mean work from home in the suburbs from a home office. They use little laptops with no data connection and go out gathering data every day from a variety of locations, sometimes not even cell coverage.

We need up to 20 people entering data all day long and then updating a centralized database at the end of the day when they get back home and have internet connection. It will generally all be new entries, no one will need to be updating old entries.

It would be nice to have some sort of data entry form in drop box and a centralized database on our local server at head office which pulls the data at the end of each day. Field workers would also need access to certain data such as addresses, contact info, maps, photos, historical data, etc. but not all of it. For example the worker in City A only needs access to the historical data from records in and around City A, and workers in City B only need access to records involving City B.

Is there any recommended options for software which can achieve this? It needs to be relatively user friendly and simple as our workers are typically biology oriented summer students, not programmers.

What companies will you never give another dollar to?

What happened that put them on your blacklist?

 

Just trying to check "unread messages" despite no notifications indicating there are some, just to refresh the inbox and make sure there's nothing in limbo before notifications appear (not sure how the technicalities work).

If there are no new messages the app crashes. Can make it crash multiple times in a row. Works fine if there is a notification and unread messages present.

Hi, me and my cousins had a good thing going for a long time playing Catan but we are looking to shake things up. We have played Catan regularly for over s year, but find that it's getting a little stale. We are looking for a game that requires a lot of strategy, planning, teamwork but also betrayal and backstabbing, yet also not take half an hour to set up and dismantle.

In Catan we love that the board changes every game and therefore the strategy, but found that once we got to the castles and knights expansion there was one strategy that beat out all the rest which sort of deflated the fun (first person to get science bonus seemed to win 90% of the time).

Any other board games out there for beginners that don't take forever to set up and put away? Not huge into role playing, but never say never I guess.
