Definitely my 2 year old every day. Our older kid didn't have this happen much so it's crazy to see how accurate it is with our youngest. Gotta let them power through otherwise they won't learn.

If you edit the tongue out the picture doesn't change at all.

No idea how much is a good price for this, but Amazon has it for $25 which doesn't sound very good. Amazon food prices are pretty awful though so I'm not surprised.

But if I can't get a job due to debt how do they expect me to pay it? What a dumb system...

Looks like the monitor needs power based on the 2 cords I see. I'm not sure if the outlets the airplane has is enough for it, but maybe? I barely fly, and I don't even remember if they offer charge ports?

Edit: maybe buy one of those crazy large power bricks to bring with you! I got one years ago to use when camping. It's got usb c and 3 other usb ports and it's 60,000mah. It powered my MacBook pro all day, it's a beast and great to have just in case of power outages as well.

I believe the precision series kind of took over. They are high-end models but not really built for gaming. At this point, the XPS wasn't built for gaming either, so I guess having 2 high-end lines just didn't make sense?

Edit: I should have read the article first! I guess all the names are going away. I don't care for the new names either, but both were pretty bad. The only difference is we got used to what it is now despite how little sense it made.

I just updated my work pc and laptop to 11 within the last few months. Both were not allowed due to the restrictions Microsoft put in place, but I got it working, and both work perfectly. My latest gaming pc that I built in late 2023 is also on 11. I know I'm in the minority, but I really have no complaints with the OS, and if anything, the upgrade has improved system performance for both my work devices. Which is great since they are getting super cheap at my job, and the 2 systems I have (they are older) are beasts compared to what I would trade them in for.

Wow, you and me have the same life it seems. My wife went to college, has her masters and 1 year shy of getting her PHD. and is a special education teacher making nothing crazy. I have no school and I am an IT admin and recently moved to networking and make only slightly more. She thinks I will be someone who cares that she makes more than me, and I say why? Why would I want us to have a harder time than we already have now? Please make more, make a lot more if you can! We only benefit more with peace of mind, I can care less who it comes from.

Some decent news is they work in steps so every year they are guaranteed a raise and she's around step 15 of 20 which after looking at the steps the first 13 are awful and now the next 5 years are huge. Like so big that each year is basically the equivalent of the past 13 combined. So, considering how stagnant I've been, she will pass me by a decent amount within the next 5 years.

As an American, was he bad? From my limited POV I feel like he was doing a decent job. I've seen comments lately indicating otherwise, and this article points to COVID, immigration, costs of living, and housing as reasons. I feel like most of those topics are not easy answers or directly related to a lot that can be done without drastic changes that will most likely not see the result I think people are looking for. Is this another case of spreading propaganda long enough that people who want answers believe the worst? I am genuinely curious about what is really taking place here and why.

As someone who got a new release AMD card in late 2023, I am a bit disappointed that there's no support of even the newest cards for this... I have also never used 3.0 because of the limited number of games that support it, so it's kind of ridiculous they are already onto an even more exclusive 4.0.

I'm gonna agree! I really hated BK like 10 years ago because of pricing and they took away chicken fries, introduced nuggets that were awful and just generally worse food it seemed. I tried them a bunch last year just to see how they were doing and I gotta say the fries were improved, the chicken fries are back and even the nuggets tasted better now. The burgers were always decent and not much change. Add in the app with the offers and discounts and the pricing is no worse than the rest, sometimes it's cheaper now.

Just to make it known, when I say good I'm talking about fast food good not that it's impressive. If anything it's just comfort food since we did have this or McDonald's from time to time growing up. Fridays was the one day were cooking didn't happen, and if we didn't get pizza or Chinese, it would probably be this (my father hated it haha).

I feel like that's a personal preference. I remember my wife's father dying, and her mother was an emotional wreck. She was so angry that people kept giving her food, and it just upset her more every time something was left. Obviously, she was kind to the people, but after they left, she was angry and basically told all her siblings take it all now otherwise it's being thrown out. She threw out tons of good food...

I don't agree with that, but the one thing I did notice was it's also difficult to even manage getting all that food as well. It became it's own problem since finding places to put it all was hard, and I'm sure not something you wanna deal with at that time either.

On the other hand this was all in the first week, OP states it's been a few weeks, and maybe it would be nice to receive since they probably aren't getting much now.
