I remove said drive (power off, of course), and then use the laptop for a while before eventually reinstalling it? Long story short.... won't be getting the spacer before a trip, and want to remove the drive to take it on said trip w/o fear of the loose drive jostling around, and get to dealing w/ this issue after the trip.... |

I guess for a free to play game it's ok, but lots of paid games have added this shit too. I just avoid games w/ microtransactions entirely. Even the free ones. If you made a good game, I'll pay some money to play it, no problem. Shouldn't need to "sucker" someone in w/ a free price tag and nickel and dime them later. But too many people see a one time $40-$60 up front purchase as too much, but $10+ a month for a year to be a great deal.... |

Never heard of that, don't think it's ever even been attempted out of the thousands of people who've been in Congress. And if such a mechanism exists, how the fuck wasn't it employed against Ted Cruz years ago?

Why are pardons a thing with this little oversight jfcAbsolutely none, other than whether or not it was prosecuted by that state vs. like...a federal crime. It should be used to free people w/ very questionable convictions, like Cameron Todd Willingham. Instead, those people tend to languish in prison or get executed, and the ones who "find god" or whose families donate enough to the right person (which is another form of finding god, I guess) get pardons, regardless of how heinous their crimes. The justice system in this country is a fucking joke. Wouldn't blame the victims' families one bit if they took things into their own hands after the justice system basically flipped them off. |

He's the source of a lot of the problems that made this dumbass administration possible.Can't, unfortunately. I do think we'd be better off if politicians who were utterly despised by the rest of the country but liked in their own location could be voted out, if they had some insanely high hurdle to do so, like 75%+ voting to remove the person from office. Would spare us a lot of these hyper partisan extremists in the House who will never be voted out b/c their district was specifically carved out to hand them the seat. Mitch is in the Senate, so it should be possible to boot him out since it's state-wide. And he's up for re-election in 2020! I remember in 2014, Democrats didn't think it was worth it to invest the money to support his opponent (Allison Grimes, was it?) and...that turned out well, didn't it? I really hope this time around they make a big effort to toss him out of office, cause he is single handedly responsible for nearly everything wrong w/ Washington politics today. Not trying to do so would be a huge mistake. Even when minority leader, he's shown he has absolutely no shame in doing everything physically possible to block even the most mundane of shit, like lower court judges or ambassadors to small countries. |

And I just want to be clear....my point was, the second Mitch just laughs and dismisses the impeachment, every Trump sycophant will be screaming "EXONERATED!" endlessly to try and make others believe it. Not that he actually will be. Hilariously, it only took OhhhJaa like 15 min to demonstrate my point. |

| Topic | "I like people that weren't captured." |
| streamofthesky 12/13/19 11:54:31 AM #8 | Trump should be happy. It's one of the only times he'll ever get to be compared to Bill Clinton, a far better president. I wish Democrats had waited longer to vote on impeachment, though. It's Trump's fault they haven't gotten any actual major players to come testify, but I think it'd help a ton if they got Guiliani (seriously, the more he talks, and under oath, the better) or Bolton or the like in there, even if it means another few months of court battles. Cause Mitch is just gonna hold a vote within 2 weeks of resuming session next year, and let the votes fall short of 67, then loudly proclaim, "TRUMP HAS BEEN EXONERATED!" and move on. Any actual investigation has to be done in the House or it's just plain not getting done. |

Sekiro went up against a game from 2018, a remake of a 20 year old game, a walking simulator, a game pandering to feminists and some weird sci-fi game. The competition was almost non-existent. 2019 was a terrible year for gaming.Agreed on the first part. The competition was just terrible this year. But disagree on 2019 being a terrible year. Plenty of good games that didn't even get nominated, like Astral Chain, Bloodstained, and Code Vein. And smaller titles that'd never be up for GotY but are still really fun, like Cadence of Hyrule and River City Girls. |
| Topic | 2 Women are DENIED at STRIP CLUB cause they didn't have a MAN with them!!! |
| streamofthesky 12/13/19 11:27:44 AM #12 | Full Throttle posted... When they protested, they were told that their presence might take men's attention away from the strippers or that they might cause drama by trying to find husbands. This is the real reason, and a justifiable one. "Distraction" in the sense that the male patrons might feel awkward acting the same way they otherwise would have w/ some women watching them. It's a strip club, not a normal social setting... And the potential for "drama" if they're going in to find a bf/husband should be self-explanatory why the club would want to avoid that. I hope these ladies lose the lawsuit or if they win, it means women's-only gyms also become illegal. #Equality |

I love Majora's Mask - it's hands down my favourite Zelda game and one of my favourite games of all time - but even I couldn't bring myself to get through that horrible, horrible port. Well, I didn't know it was that bad. Nintendo up to that point was pretty well known for their "polish." Very rare for their first party games, especially a major franchise, to have glaring, let alone game-breaking, bugs. Never owned an N64, just played on my friends' consoles sometimes, it didn't have enough to offer for me. So the GC port was my first crack at OoT and MM, and it permanently soured me on MM. |

But he nailed how annoying and tedious the game play and time countdown mechanics (including waiting around for specific times of the day and starting over if you miss one for a quest) are. Yeah, the dark atmosphere and setting are great, but the game itself is not good. Nice to see someone who agrees w/ me. He was less harsh on Zelda II than he was on MM, which was like a cherry on top. :) |

FedEx, UPS, USPS and all of them are having troubles because there are probably millions of packages going through the system right now. Yeah, that's right, you aren't the only one sending/receiving shit. Perhaps think about the people having to deal with you every freakin' day. You are the type of customer that we despise because you think the entire world revolves around you. News Flash! It fucking doesn't."Hey, your tracking said my package was delivered, but it never showed up." "Huh, that's odd." "I had a replacement sent, but every day it says it'll be delivered only to not be." "No problem, we'll just hold it for you at a local facility." "Hey, you said it was ready for pickup at the local facility, but it wasn't there." "What do you mean? You never requested us to hold it for you." "Yeah, I totally did..." "That conversation never happened." "Whatever, I just want my package." "Hey, asshole, the world doesn't revolve around you!" Yeah, how dare I. I didn't trash a driver, or expect some crazy demand to be met. I didn't expect it to arrive really quickly. Just to fucking get the delivery at all, and for when their own tracker or customer service person tells me it's arrived...for it to actually be there! Gasp! The horror! Go fuck yourself, dude |

| streamofthesky 12/11/19 5:50:10 PM #1 | I have been waiting over 2 weeks for a delivery, with no end in sight, and holy fuck is this company terrible! This is actually the 2nd order....the first was supposedly delivered on Dec. 3rd per the tracking info, but it never came. FedEX lied to me! The store then decided to send a new shipment rather than try to figure out WTF happened to the first. I didn't want to deal w/ FexEx again and asked to do store pick up, but was told it had to be the same delivery method. Fuck.... As of Saturday, it had been dropped off at the nearest facility. Every single day since then, the tracker says it's out for delivery on a truck in the morning and expected by the end of the day, only to never arrive and then the next day the same thing is displayed except the expected delivery date is now the end of the new day. FedEX lied to me! Yesterday, fed up w/ the BS, I called to ask what was going on. They offered to let me have the package dropped off and held at my local Walgreens, since I guess they work w/ FedEx now. I said fine. They said it should be there by the next evening, and take my email address. Today...I call FedEx before leaving work, and ask if it is there to be picked up. She sees that I requested to hold it there from yesterday's phone call and says yes, it's ready for pick up. I ask twice to be sure, and she says yes. I go to Walgreens.... And it's not fucking there! Of course it's not! I honestly was expecting it at this point. FedEX lied to me! I just got home and called FedEx again. New customer service agent claims they have no record of me requesting to have it held at that location nor my email address, and takes it down again.... FedEX lied to me! Now supposedly it should be there tomorrow or Friday, but...I'm skeptical. Holy fuck this company is shit! It sucks the customer has no say in who the store they buy from uses to ship, cause damn do I never want to deal w/ them again! Had multiple orders AFTER this one all arrive in the interim, cause they came via UPS and USPS, who are actually competent. Somehow until now I've been lucky I guess and never had anything "delivered" (in quotes, b/c the word delivered presumes the package is actually received....or at least doesn't vanish from existence...) by them. |

The best thing is that he didn't tank it.Both stocks and unemployment were improving for years before Trump and just continued to. And it's been financed by disastrous policies that will screw us over in the long term (massive tax cut for the rich that's giving us trillion dollar deficits in a BOOM ECONOMY and the Federal Reserve fucking over savers w/ near zero rates and buying up insane amounts of debt just to keep things afloat), so I'd even dispute the claim that it's a "good thing" about his presidency. I mean, if you think getting a $500 cash advance from your credit card is a good thing b/c you're willfully ignoring the $5000 you'll end up paying back on it over time, I guess that logic holds... |

And looked up the ingredients for the infinite fast travel pack so I could buy one ASAP as well. But the loading times are just awful too, makes me laugh at how I hated BotW's, which were nothing in comparison. The world is pretty uninteresting, too. Tried exploring it, but eventually found there was no point vs. riding around on my dino mount brushing past the campfires to discover them, then fast travel back when needed for a quest or the like. And god, the indoor sections w/ all the exposition dumped on you by audio/video logs, and crawling at a snail's pace w/ the focus on to find them... Plus the camera and map sucked indoors. And they just go full ham on you at the end w/ those awful indoor sections. I pushed myself to finish the story, and had no desire to ever touch the game again afterwards. Of course, the story starts off promising but just gets more terrible the further you go, to the point where at the end you think the writers must take the players for idiots if they think what they wrote was plausible or sensible.

Some drives from more considerate manufacturers apparently come with plastic ones you can stick on. When I first googled it, I saw a promising solution utilizing foam tape to create the necessary cushioning. But the cost of a roll of the foam tape is actually more expensive than just buying the spacer that's designed specifically for this that I linked.

| streamofthesky 12/08/19 12:49:00 PM #1 | Pretty simple, really. I just installed a 2.5" HDD in a laptop, but realized after the fact that it's a bit "loose" and that's due to being 7 mm thick while as this laptop was built for a 9.5 mm thick drive. Apparently these newer models often come with spacers to help with this issue, but I lucked out and bought from a company that doesn't do this. :( So...i found a spacer on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Edge-7mm-9-5mm-Spacer-Adapter/dp/B014LQM6I2 I just want to make absolutely sure... I already formatted and partitioned this drive, but it is not the C drive (ie, doesn't have the operating system). I should be totally fine turning off the laptop's power, removing the drive, applying this spacer, re-inserting it, and powering the computer back on....right? |

Earlier this year people were spamming my Linkedin about how there was going to be a recession too.The Fed is massively propping things up. They're lowering interest rates (which were already still historically low) despite it being a "booming economy", and they're pumping ridiculous amounts of money every day into the economy to keep the "overnight lending rate" (or whatever it's called) from collapsing, which would cause the economy to then immediately collapse if it did.

| Topic | Will Trump be removed from office or resign? |
| streamofthesky 12/07/19 10:32:01 AM #40 | I predicted it like 2 years ago jokingly, but now more seriously: He won't resign. If he's voted out of office, he'll have Air Force One drop him off in Russia in early January on a one way trip and refuse to go back with them, after spending the last 2 months of 2019 blatantly liquefying as many of his assets as possible and moving them to off shore accounts. And the U.S. government will have no ability at all to stop it, despite how obvious the plan is. He will then spend the next few years, at least, sending messages from Russia that he was "overthrown in a coup" to stir up internal strife in the U.S. at the bidding of his master, Putin. Mead posted... I think its more likely that hell resign and try to play it off as some kind of I did everything I came here to do lie rather than face defeat in the 2020 electionUnless the economy finally crashes (it's been propped up SOOOO damn much by the Fed; Republicans stopped caring once it was Trump in charge) before the election, he has a good chance of re-election. People seriously seem to underestimate the power of incumbency. All the previous modern presidents that lost re-election had it happen in the midst of a recession and/or due to a third party siphoning large amounts of votes away. Honestly, the dudes running in the Republican primary right now that are principled conservatives and have claimed (at least Bill Weld, awesome dude) that they'd do a "suicide run" for office just to help split votes from Trump have a better chance of torpedoing his re-election than the impeachment process's reveals of Trump's excesses and crimes does. |

People like to act like the punishment / "revenge" portion of prison is the least important aspect, or something to be slightly ashamed of as a society. But it is in fact very important. The reason people are generally not "taking justice into their own hands" is because they can trust in the legal system to adequately punish wrongdoers, and thus avoid an endless cycle of personal revenge. When you take that away, and total monsters get to walk free with little or no actual punishment.... People rightfully get angry and realize it's up to them to "set things right." So yeah, I agree with you. Just wanted to expand on it a bit, since some posters on here don't seem to grasp that. |
