| BlazinBlue88 09/12/18 10:18:08 AM #4 | Solar_Crimson posted... This is a user's PC, and while she's working at another workstation, I still need to get this one up and running. But it won't let me cancel it, and doing a hard reboot may screw the whole HDD up, since it's still working on stuff. Though reimaging it is a simple process, but I need to get her data for backup (I can't boot into the OS because it was caught in a loop, hence the startup repair). I'd connect her HDD to another computer as an external drive. Then you can browse the contents and pull her User folder. --- |

I just want to educate people who don't know any better. I don't care about people like you who will do it regardless. I grew up in the South where we cooked everything with salted butter and lard, filled our plates up until they nearly overflowed, and still forced dessert into our mouth holes. Getting fat was viewed as normal and just part of getting older. I never knew any better until I started working out and how my diet is suppose to look like. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 09/10/18 7:23:13 PM #104 | Damn Clear. That's a red flag of an awful partner. My wife has spent the entirely of our relationship cracking open my emotional shell that I've developed over the years. I'm completely free to express any feeling or thought to her without worry of judgement. That's what a real partner looks like. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 09/09/18 11:41:02 AM #108 | joestarrr posted... That sounds horrible. Did she get it checked out? Not really. She went to the doctor when she was a teenager and they told her some women just have irregular periods and they can be extra painful. She just dealt with it and she'd cancel whatever plans she had that day whether it was class or work. Like I said, she doesn't have bedridden episodes anymore. She has days when it's still pretty painful but she smokes to offset it. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 09/09/18 11:23:27 AM #104 | When my wife and I were dating she'd always have one day of her period that was so painful and draining that she was bedridden. It's not as bad now but still doesn't seem fun. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 09/02/18 1:30:38 PM #14 | WilliamPorygon posted... As to what makes them good or not... to me a good table has a fun theme, a nice layout with various types of targets and a rule set that's somewhat deep and rewarding for mre skilled players, but not overly complicated like most of the modern Stern tables. In general the 80s-90s era Bally/Williams tables are easily my favorites, though there are some good Gottleib ones from that era as well. I'd say my personal three favorite machines are FunHouse, Attack from Mars and Monster Bash. Great explanation. Also a great table is one where the magnet under the table isn't super intrusive to the gameplay. Favorite tables of mine are Monster Bash, Twilight Zone, Scared Stiff, and Addams Family. Two honorable mentions are No Fear and Indy 500. --- |

There's this whole deal where to unlock 4-5 of the costumes, you need to grind in the mobile game. They've since fixed that thankfully. Melina, Kitana, Jax, Raiden, Johnny Cage.

They've since fixed that thankfully. If you sync your wb play account on the mobile game and your console game, you automatically get all of those costumes. No need to waste your time playing the mobile game. --- |

I will never understand this crap. Why does no one stop and think about why a company would take payments in the form of iTunes gift cards. It makes no sense. --- |

Usually: While that is an interesting bit of knowledge, it's not my job as an IT person to fix a damn microwave and you're a moron(not you, my coworkers) if you think that falls under my job responsibilities of fixing computers. Error1355 posted... I'd like to stay with this company if I can, but I think I want to go more into operations of the call center than moving up the tech support/NOC side of things oddly enough. That's fair. Not everyone cares for the tech side of it all. Moving into management operations is fun as well. --- |

But damn some of the conversations would get me fired for laughing at the customers That's what the mute button is for. There were always certain employees I'd sit my finger over the mute button when talking to them for that very reason. Error1355 posted... See the thing is just outlasting the soul crushing. Can't have your soul crushed if the soul is gone! That's great man. Hard to find a company that treats it's employees well. How long are you planning on doing the customer service stuff? Were you looking to continue into the IT field later on? --- |

My first IT job, someone asked me if I knew how to fix the microwave in the kitchen because it broke. Computers and microwaves plug into the wall so I should know how to fix both! >_> Error1355 posted... This customer: I'm 81 years old, I don't know anything about this computer stuff. That sounds amazing. Error, I still don't get how you deal with your job. Working helpdesk with employees is bad enough but working with the general public? My friend does tech phone support for an ISP and he said it's soul crushing. --- |

| Topic | So what Yakuza game should I start with? |
| BlazinBlue88 08/31/18 8:54:13 AM #18 | 0 or Kiwami. I started with Kiwami then went to 0 afterwards and didn't have a problem. People always say Kiwami references stuff that happened in 0 so play 0 first. I liked playing Kiwami and then meeting younger versions of characters I'd already met. Also Kiwami is the same game as 0 but much smaller in content. If I went from 0 to Kiwami, it would have been a big let down. I'm glad I started off small then went on to a game that's much bigger. --- |
| Topic | Why do low income people say vegetables and fruits are expensive? |
| BlazinBlue88 08/31/18 8:23:01 AM #83 | 21WIVES_CHILL posted... All i know is avocados are expensive as hell all year round. 9 times out of 10 I can find avocados for $0.90-$1 a piece. Considering how filling they are, that's not expensive at all. Sometimes you see them at $1.25 and that's when I skip out on them. 21WIVES_CHILL posted... How do you know which fruits and veggies are in season and out? https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/seasonal-produce-guide Personally I don't memorize all of that. I just eye ball the price when I'm shopping and determine if that's on the expensive side or not which is something you get the hang of eventually. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 08/30/18 9:49:56 PM #5 | I remember the Melee board here being crazy. Every Friday, the official Melee site would reveal another piece of the game whether it was a stage, character, whatever. We'd spend the rest of the week talking about it until the next reveal. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 08/30/18 5:16:29 PM #61 | DoomSwell posted... Fruits aren't even a side dish, they're a light snack. They go bad quickly, which means you can't stock up if you only have gas/money/time to go shopping once a month. Sometimes you're limited to what a single store has because of transportation... Bags and bags of frozen veggies and fruit fill my freezer. You won't have as much variety but it's better than nothing. Also a tip no one has mentioned in this topic yet. Buy your fruits in season. This is the difference between a container of blueberries being $0.90 and $3.00 --- |
