We can shortcut this bracket dramatically by just making it @Foler vs @Araysar, and save everyone a lot of time.

Na, I'm good, I make plenty of money and have plenty of bullshit on my plate already.

Yeah that's for just regular dirt and grime though. If they got something sticky and conductive on the contacts, that's a different situation, and that seems to better match the symptoms described.

I've never found anything that works better than just 91% isopropyl alcohol. Maybe Everclear but that shit is expensive now. I once ruined a keyboard by dumping an entire bowl of grapefruit (which is basically a worse case scenario due to the pulp sacs) on it and I was able to get it working...

Most common cause of something like that is getting beer or fruit juice on the contacts, so that's why you need a strong solvent/desiccant.

Douse the whole thing in the strongest rubbing alcohol you can find, then drain and dry it. You have conductive debris under the contacts.

It was 78 degrees in RI today lol. It should be like 55 average, 60 top of the normal range. Record high for this weather station is 69. It's really weird to stand outside as the sun is going down and realize you're not going to experience outdoor temperatures like this again until late May...

I don't think the stealth cars were future tech. I think that was just very expensive mercenary tech. The cop, who knows nothing about time travel shenanigans, was weirded out by it, but not freaked out by it. As if this was military tech that wasn't common to see in a rural domestic setting...

Pretty sure the market rallies either way in the shortrun as long as there isn't some huge clusterfuck.

Okay so after reading this I'm convinced that this shit has as much impact on the real economy as WoW Warlock DPS theorycraft.

This, but I'd also accept Respawn making a Star Wars Titanfall clone. The rebel troopers and empire would be the NPC units and the players would have jetpacks or force powers allowing them to parkour.

Same.

Right, I'm the top of the escalation path, but the only idiot that actually picks up their phone, which ends up making me the first person called instead of the last. :/ Okay I see ya'lls point.

I wasn't forced, I could have kept avoiding responsibility. That's my point. Very few people in most organizations want responsibility. When you actually start actively taking and seeking responsibility, you move up very quickly.

Yeah, that worked when I was a poor grunt employee too. Got away with it for almost 4 years. Now that I'm lead infrastructure architect for 5+ F500 clients, not gonna fly. I must never be without my phone, must have full access to everything I could possibly need to solve any problem at all...

I'd still use a flip phone if I didn't need 4 different MFA authenticators, Teams and Outlook on my phone that has to be with me at all times.

The Dinosaur episode was fucking great.

And retained people who wrote the most bloated code. That's how you become a company like Oracle. gis: "Oracle sucks memes"

lol go back in time and show an iPhone 14 to the smartest computer scientists and electrical engineers 70 years ago and ask them what century it was from. They'd probably guess you were from the year 2525 (if man is still alive...)

Did you change your DPI settings in Windows to make things bigger? If so, check to make sure Steam isn't running in compatibility mode.

If someone wants an Ultrawide on the cheap, this certainly isn't the best but it's great for this price, especially if you have an Amazon Prime card: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s3422dwg

Yeah that girl has fantastic TikToks, also tits.

The 4080 is 320w. Will be interesting to see performance per curves watt on both, head to head.

But yeah, I'm all in on a stealth Max Payne reboot but you're John Keanu Wick instead.

Didn't they make this game 20 years ago and it was called Max Payne?

Supposedly they're not being as shady as they seem, apparently there's a bunch of 4k ultrawide screens coming out that we're just not aware of yet.

Right, ideally a 3440x1440 widescreen is probably the best overall gaming experience for most games, assuming you can fit it on your desk. I'm in a situation where I'd love to buy the Alienware OLED Ultrawide, but I need a 27 inch monitor for work right next to my main display and that's just...

Do we even know that's true yet? I'm just saying, if all you care about is getting 144hz@1440p, a 3080ti can be had for as low as $729 today as opposed to a 7900 XT which will take winning the lottery to get one before March.

Right, this is why the "China's going to call in our debt" argument never made the tiniest bit of sense. Treasuries don't work that way. Everyone wants to buy our debt right now, at least short term debt. It's safe and gives a great return.

Despite the fact that you can't actually read what the sign is

Why would some country being forced to sell older, lower-yield treasuries for cash to pay debt put downward pressure on newer, higher-yield treasuries? This is where it starts really breaking down and not making much sense to me.

Okay, so it's the path to the school next to the church, and it's probably one of these signs, not anything political, since schools (or churches) don't generally have political adverts out front, and we have a picture of a very similar sign in a very similar spot, right here on Google maps...

Justified had like 12 of these characters and was one of the best shows ever.

That's obviously not a church's front yard and you can't even read the sign. It's either intentionally blurred or just terrible footage with a misleading representation. That's almost certainly a democrat state election sign just based on the general graphic style and colors. You're a 🐑.

Right, so as long as most debt is denominated in dollars, demand for the dollar stays strong. It's not a conspiracy, it's just how debt works.

Debts taken out by foreign countries in dollars, have to be paid in dollars, so this keeps the demand for dollars high and stable because foreign countries took out tons of debt in dollars during COVID but also beforehand. This is, at least, until they all go into default one after another due...
