I am Groot.
French cologne, my ass! He wears WAAAAAAY to much Axe Body Spray like a patriotic American bro who doesn't understand geography should.
This is the best kind of Trek right here. I could see Kirk saying this, for sure. I do think Bikes would agree with Kirk, though. McCoy always prioritized saving lives.
I assumed it was, but since the poster didn't mention it, I figured they might have their reasons to be vague.
Does he seem like he's going to do better than his dad?
What country? Do you offer political asylum to people fleeing dictatorial regimes?
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
These so-called Christians are like the Pharisees that Jesus opposed.
Wasn't GameStop pretty much failing until the apes artificially inflated their stock?
Three O'Clock High is an all-time favorite. It's like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don't get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it's got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.
Barbarian seems objectively better in a cinematic art kind of way, but Destroyer scratches an itch for...fun...that the first film does not. Though, I will say, parts of Barbarian are truly epic.
To be fair, in South Carolina, Jesus could run as a Democrat and somehow lose to Lindsey Graham with likely voters.
Now all we need is a DHD, a MALP, and a power source, and we're in business.
You gonna bail me out when I get arrested for trying to open the door mid-flight? 😂
Seriously, though, all you guys here are right about everything you've said. I'll undoubtedly be forced to fly again, and I'll remind myself of these things when I do.
Of course, if I'm on the one flight that does disintegrate in midair, well...my last thoughts of y'all might not be terribly charitable. 😉
Buy or No Buy: 2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
It's got 250,000 miles and is $5,500. It's a former taxi service car, apparently. Obviously, a pre-purchase inspection would be a must. I've heard these cars are very reliable, but the mileage, accident history (3, not sure how serious), and potential status of the high voltage battery give me pause. I'm leaning against traveling to look at it, but I'm wondering if the model is just so good it's worth a try at that price point.
It would be replacing a 2015 Kia Soul with about 80,000 miles--Kia's engine woes have me spooked, so I'm considering trying to get something more likely to go for several hundred thousand miles. Any thoughts?
SSD for Old Laptop
I'm looking to replace the HDD on an HP Pavilion dv 6 6130-us. It has an i-3 2330M CPU. I know it's old as dirt, but I'd like to use it to run old games. It's also the only thing I own with a CD drive.
I've upgraded the RAM to the maximum it will support (16 GB). I'm thinking an SSD will help it run a great deal faster, but I'm stuck on what to get. So far, the Crucial MX500 seems like a good choice, but I'm wondering if any semi-reliable cheap SSD will do for something this old. I have to stick with something with a 2.5 inch form factor that uses SATA. Thoughts?
First PC for My Son
So my eight-year-old wants a desktop PC. He's kind of a budding gamer, but right now, he almost exclusively plays Roblox on his iPad and will definitely carry this over to the PC. As he gets older, he may want to graduate to more demanding titles. On the other hand, he may also get bored with it and stick with consoles and mobile gaming.
I don't want to spend a ton on a PC for a very young child who may not take to PC gaming seriously, but I also want to get something that might be upgradeable as he grows if he wants to join the PC master race.
In my research, I came across this.
The recommendation I saw in PCMag that led me to the PC above suggested that the integrated graphics with the Ryzen 5 5600G could serve as a starting point for low level gaming and allow me to spend on a GPU card later if it's justified. The price and functionality appear to offer exactly the path I want.
I've seen other, more expensive versions of this pre-built, and I've also looked at the possibility of building it myself. I like this particular chip because it's only a generation or so back and it still appears to be well-regarded by the community. If I went with one of the cheap old workstation conversions, I'd be limited by proprietary hardware and fewer options--a lot of the stuff out there, especially Intel stuff, is very old and won't be able to run Windows 11 when it becomes necessary. What I'm finding suggests this path could see us through quite a few years to come and allow us to upgrade as needed.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or does this seem like it could work the way I want?
UPDATE: I've decided to buy the pre built deal I found with the 6500G. I would like to go to a fancier build, but the price of the AM5 chips and motherboards takes them off of the table for me right now. I think what I'm getting will be good enough as some of you have said.
Thanks to everyone for your help! If y'all are interested, I'll post an update when I get it.
Can you filter out posts on Lemmy that are in languages other than one you speak?
I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?
