Now that the new cartridge is purring nicely, it's time to christen it with a classic and favorite of my dad's:

Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land Original pressing from 1966, still sounds fantastic.

Coincidence or did you get that email from eBay today, too?

They probably got hacked and we'll find out about it next year.

It says Continue without disabling on the bottom of that banner, which if you do, it gives you access to the whole site without hassling you again. At least it does on my end with Firefox.

Obviously it's bullshit to constantly badger you, but it doesn't currently restrict access to anything.

I got some VOLTME cables and a charging brick on aliexpress about 4 years ago that have been sturdy as a rock. They actually deliver 100W according to my laptop's charging icon.

They're braided and basically impossible to twist the wrong way. Here they are on amazon if you don't want to wait the 20-odd days for shipping from China.

Add a smaller boot drive to run the OS and programs from, for sure. Maybe 2 if he wants to dual boot Windows and Linux(Steam OS full release is on the horizon).

If you can snag a 5090 in 2-3 days when they release, you'll definitely be future-proofing yourself a bit more. There's a liquid cooled version of the 5090 by Gigabyte that's sure to be one of the best performing aftermarket variants.

I'd also swap the motherboard with the Asrock Taichi X870E, which is the best featured X870E board IMO. I've also had loads of issues with Asus products. Otherwise, it looks pretty maxed out. You win all the brownie points!

I've had pixels since the Nexus 5 and I used to have some sort of Caseology or speck case on them, but in my opinion nothing tops the Spigen rugged armor case for pixels.

I've also tried Crave and Otterbox variants; but the rugged armor is my go to for a no frills, extra grippy, pretty thin case. It's currently 15 USD if you have prime.

Did you recently stop paying for fitbit premium or have the free trial expire? This happened to me when my free trial expired.

What fixed it for me was restarting the watch. I'm back up and running and my deep sleep and REM cycles are working again. I've heard if that doesn't work, you can un-pair the watch, restart it and re-pair to your phone and it could fix it. Good luck!

I say don't use NA wine, as it's usually pretty low quality and might negatively affect the flavor. Use a good vinegar and water. My sister who is sober does a 3:1 water to vinegar ratio.

So if the recipe calls for a cup of red wine to de-glaze, use 1/4 cup red wine vinegar mixed with 3/4 cup water(or stock for even more flavor). I've tried several of these recipes and it's basically imperceptible.

Good pull. Malapropism has always been one of my favorite words and comedic devices, so this is good info. Bravo!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go read an article about the Women's Lubrication movement and eat my hot astronomy on rye.

How long has it been since you updated uBlock? If I go about 2 weeks without restarting Firefox, they start showing up for me. A quick restart of FF and updating uBlock has always worked for me.

Let us know if it works or not.
