I did watch Smallville for about 4 years and then got tired of it. I liked the season finales and premieres a lot but I got tired of a lot of the villain of the week filler episodes, there were so many of them. I definitely made it to when Lois Lane shows up though

yeah reportedly they really made it important to get really good episodes for the 1st and last one of each season. Really liked that show. Had special effects and action. Do any shows even have any good action these days. Prob even less of them being made then during the smallville days. Maybe many tv viewers don't care about action. If viewers don't demand them then networks won't make them. It's cheaper to make shows without action. Idk, smallville just wasn't huge in the ratings like it should have been.

I watched it for about a season. I was mainly watching Buffy and Charmed, and in turn I was pretty much watching anything on the WB from late 90s - early 00s

kind of. I always thought his face was annoying, even before the meme

his face does look kinda weird though, imo. He was also in the movie varsity blues i should watch that soon. Did you like smallville , also on wb? I really liked that show. Good action and special effects. It did not get great ratings. Dawson's might have gotten higher avg. ratings. idk

Yes and no.

HDDs have a lot of moving parts that are prone to failure. Even though the HDD plate will outlive an SSD it's quite common for a decent SSD to outlive HDDs.

isn't the total number of avg. writes for ssds much less than hdds?

Enclave posted...

Yes and no, it's takes different equipment. The problem though is you need to write the sectors over multiple times to really eliminate it and doing that on an SSD actually reduces the lifespan of the device.

heard that too, that ssds last a lot less long than hdds?

Deleting something doesn't actually delete it. All it does is tell the OS that it's ok to write stuff to that location. So if a location hasn't been overwritten since the delete, it is likely still there and recoverable. The more time passes (and the more stuff is saved) reduces the chance that data can be recovered.

So i heard like physical destruction is the only fool proof 100 perc. method though

The Martian and Interstellar to name a few

not the bourne movies right? Might be his biggest hits

Matt Damon loves playing the rescue victim though

what? Have seen few of his movies. Loved talented mr. ripley though.

I think theyre better actors than filmmakers. I dont think The Last Duel deserved the hate it got. Great performances by both. But I do like their writing. The Town was pretty good. Hard to say who I like more because I really jus lump them together.

yeah they were like best friends. Never really thought good will hunting was that great either. Though many thought it should have won best pic over titanic

This face. Never saw 90210. Party of Five was another one from that era that I enjoyed though.

did you ever find vanderbeek kinda annoying? I kinda get it though, meme face, i guess.

Factory reset is fine, the people who have not only the know how but the equipment to get that data off your phone after a factory reset do not care about you, you're a nobody.

How does that method work? , where they can get that info. Have heard they can do it though

Back up your stuff on cloud. Factory reset. Its not complex.

you can back it up to flash drive or PC too right? Is there any cloud storage options that are free?

cjsdowg posted...

I am thinking about trading in for a better phone. But I am worried about Identity theft.

you didn't know about, deleting everything?

both were unheard of iirc before the big success of good will hunting. And both then made a bunch of movies separately. Prob my favorite movie from either of them is the talented mr. ripley. Liked that more than english patient. Easily patient was minghella's biggest hit and won best pic

VideoboysaysCube posted...

I finished the series for the first time about a year or two ago. Even though I didn't grow up with it, I still got hit with the nostalgia. It was also nice seeing the context for Dawson's meme face. I wanted Dawson and Joey to be together dammit ;_;

meme face? never saw. Alot of people liked this show. I really did not. Was it kinda following the formula of the show 90210? liked 90210 more was a huge fan of neither.

were you

Salad is good when you don't want to make anything else

yeah i guess extremely easy to make. Cereal, ramen? ramen may be the hardest of those 3.

I have sold stuff on ebay for about 8 years now and it has been smooth. I have been buying and bidding for about 10 and same.

have you have really terrible buyers...etc...?

Ebay this Mouthpiece is 750 dollars:

So even their store stuff cost more.

yeah i guess in recent yrs ebay has gotten more expensive and amazon cheaper, the gap has closed very much etc.....

Some of it had to do with if there was an issue with your purchase it was mostly up to you and the seller to hash it out but on Amazon you dealt with them if there was a problem. Also it was a wild crapshoot when youd actually get what you paid for on Ebay vs Amazon you had a good general idea when it would show up. Lastly Amazon giving credit or gift cards for bad service that could be used for other purchases was a powerful incentive. Especially over just leaving Sammy Stealer a bad review and hope no one does business with them.

oh, is ebay much better at this in recent yrs, though?

RamenNoodles posted...

eBay only gets a fraction of each item sold, Amazon gets much more, but their Prime service, cloud service, music and book services all contribute to what they make.
I think I even read their Cloud service makes more than what they do off of selling stuff years ago.

Ebay literally has thousands of auctions end a minute, every minute they get a cut from, its crazy to think about that

What is this? eBay gets a much smaller fraction of each item sold? Why though ? Had never heard

You can eat salad and load it either dressing, you still taking in less calories than a burger.

yeah good pt

All shavers are same quality and start going blunt after a few months.
I prefer to get a cheap chinese brand off Amazon and renew when I need. Much better than splashing out on the big brands and then still needing new blades after a few months.
Rotary better than foil though.

yours last you only a few months? you shave every day? I get like 2. I shave very infrequently though. Yeah i noticed that brauns are real bad if you go longer than a week without shaving, they can't cut them.

eBay always had a sketchy vibe to it

Basically a online garage sale in a unknown digital neighborhood

that is their rep? But is it really true, though?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

that was in ebay's old days though. The majority of items are not like that.

amazon has like over 15 times the revenue of ebay ...Many times ebay is cheaper, not sure if it would be most times....

RetuenOfDevsman posted...

Why? What point is there in eating a salad but dumping half a gallon of nasty ass concentrated fat and calories on it?

I could understand if salads weren't delicious or if dressings weren't disgusting, but since salads are delicious and dressings are disgusting, you're not only ruining the dish but you're also making it worse for you.

don't many people think just lettuce is very bland? maybe most people think that....

But Jesus doesn't like it so it's bad

do you dislike religion? Isn't the u.s. easily the most religious country in general, of any 1st world industrialized country?

Why would I do that? If biden drops out I may vote for his replacement depending on who it is.
Inb4 trump enabler.

so you won't vote? hate both?

SauI_Goodman posted...

This just in: Another day in the life of Trump. More at 9!

so are you prob going to vote for biden ?

a lot of people liked this show. I really didn't.

Another thing, are any of you here huge fans of special effects and action in tv shows in general? I really like them, seems current tv , has even less of these shows than before.

"Did you see this guy on television today? I mean, he's like a crazed lunatic. Round eyes... The eyes are all round as hell, but I know he didn't have any plastic surgery, I know. The eyes are round."

So is he saying that trumps, his eyes, are extremely unround?

horith, what ends up happening at the end of that episode though? that episode , they really didn't take a side? tng seems to be hugely popular on this board. I didn't like it as much as many others on here.

Why are junk/scrap shops even still accepting them? Like how often are non-stolen converters *really* coming in?

Some really do still take them? This should be ended if it is

Zikten posted...

No I haven't. The main reason I've ever seen is the Bible says not to kill yourself. Even if a few people have non religious reasons, those people are not the ones who made the law. The people who made the law are all religiously motivated

So it is illegal in every u s. State right? with harsh punishments?

FolkenRawr posted...

Why?

Yeah I'd like to know this as well. Iirc it's illegal in ever u.s. state

Zikten posted...

In America we allow pets to have merciful ends, but humans have to linger until we die naturally, even if it's a miserable final years. All because of religion

Stan Lee is one person who could habe benefited from a change in laws. He said he wanted to die at least a year or more before he finally did. He was in complete suffering by the end

Is all of that stuff completely based on religion though? You ever met someone who thought that that was not religious?

It's weird that I never talk about canned tuna yet I saw this topic yesterday morning and then later that day I joined a twitch chat where they were asking about if we ate canned tuna.

That's some coincidence. Somebody is messing with you. Your 1st time posting in this topic?

i think my phone does not. Maybe most android and esp. i phones maybe don't.

PraetorXyn posted...

Yes, for the free shipping. Ive only watched two movies since they out in ads. I watched on Firefox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and I didnt see any ads. So Im not sure if that setup blocked the ads or if they just happened to not put ads in the two old. Lives I watched (BASEketball and Bio-Dome for what its worth).

Lots of people get prime for the movies? Was never interested in that

Can't have that in America though because Jesus.

Do you believe there is 0 , other reason for this in the u.s.? Entirely about religion....etc .. in your opinion?

slk_23 posted...

Didn't happen to me, but it happened to one of my coworkers in the parking lot. CCTV cameras caught two guys making off with a catalytic converter in just a few minutes. Not sure whether the police will be able to identify them based on the grainy video, but it's absurd how easy it is to steal that part of a car. Worst thing is that replacing it costs $2000 or more, and who has that kind of expendable income in this economy? Now I'm afraid of even parking my car at work because that amount of money is several times what I make in one day. >_>

Is this in kinda a bad area,parking lot?

No. No reason to, I get most of my orders pretty quick even with standard shipping.

You need to now spend 35 bucks minimum

No no, I'm in the interior with the -50s and 6 months of winter. I was just using the panhandle as an example of how diverse the weather is.

I'm still a long ways away from Polar bears. Black and Brown/Grizzly can be found across most of the state. A lot more black bears in the panhandle and you start to see more Browns as you get into South Central and Interior.

Do you really dislike living in large cities, very populated areas though?

I get 5% cash back with the Amazon store card and you don't need prime. It is a pretty good deal if you pay it off each month before interest. Pretty much covers sales tax for me.

the amazon store card has nothing to do with prime? or doesn't give you prime?
