You and me both! Was in basic when it happened. Crazy times.

There’s nothing at all suspicious about the 172.16.0.0/12 address block. It’s a standard block of IP addresses that’s reserved for use on local networks, just like 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16. It’s not a scheme exclusively or primarily used for illicit purposes.

Not familiar with bcdedit but I could try.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say I am, either—strictly a dabbler. For me, it’s just a matter of finding various forum posts from other people trying to get it working, and applying different suggested fixes until something works (ideally). There are tons of helpful comments out there, if you can find them.

I wouldn’t mess with bcdedit unless you get linux installed, but there’s no boot entry for it in your bios.

Is that a LAW? Never heard it called an M-80. Or is this some other ordnance I’m unfamiliar with?

I recently got my old Dell dual-booting windows 10 and mint. Didn’t have issues getting mint installed (I used Etcher to burn the ISO to a USB drive), but windows absolutely didn’t want to play nice with Grub, and I had to use bcdedit to get it to load the boot menu. Working fine now, though! Looking at some articles, it seems like f10 is probably your bios key. It really ought to be able to boot from usb; my mobo is 12 years old and supports it.

Such a cool show! I discovered it via another comment a year or two ago(maybe yours? If so, thanks!). Hopefully I can get my daughter to watch it eventually without resorting to some Ludovico-style shenanigans.

I wouldn’t say that. But I do think 90% of society probably isn’t worth interacting with through the medium of current social media.

I agree that it’s only really the low-information undecided voters who will be swayed by a bad debate performance. Happily, we still have 5 months until the election, and I doubt that many people will be thinking about this by the time they get to the ballot box.

I used to live in GA, and there was a one-way street that google maps was constantly telling me to turn the wrong direction onto. It really bugs me that I switched to Waze because it was better than google maps, then google just bought them. Long past time to bring antitrust suits against big tech. At least we have an FTC chair at the moment who’s trying to make some progress.

Just wanted to echo what Maggoty said: please don’t hesitate to push for the care and resources that you’re entitled to. I spent years doing that after I got out—thinking that others deserved it more, and I shouldn’t be taking a slot that ought to go to them. I think lots of vets get into that mindset. Everyone has buddies that had worse luck than them. But the people you served with would want you to get the care and benefits that are your due. You deserve it.

Maybe not directly, but if those who are running for office are held to a higher standard of truth, it’s going to reduce the sphere of influence of Farage and others like him, who deal almost exclusively in falsehoods. He won’t be able to get these people to come on his podcast, or whatever platform he has, and agree with his lies if they’re afraid of being held liable for it. He’d be pushed out of the mainstream political sphere.

Thanks for the Moving Out tip! I’m always looking for couch co-op stuff to play with my daughter, and this looks right up our alley.

It’s frankly laughable that you pretend your firehose of anti-Biden posting is somehow not pro-Trump, despite the reality of our binary system. The only logical conclusions are that you’re an idiot—which you don’t appear to be, based on what I’ve seen—or that you’re a cryptofash.

Would you care to expand on this? My impression is that he did what he did out of ethical concerns, and has paid a high price for it.

I picked up “Yakuza 0” on sale not too long ago, and I’m enjoying it so much that I picked up the rest of the remastered series while it was on sale. Based on how long I’m spending mucking around in the first one, It may take me the rest of my life to get through them all. I don’t know how “Like a Dragon” compares to the earlier games, but I really enjoy the narrative, combat, sub-stories, and mini-games in “0”.

As an aside, I really enjoy a well-done pool mini-game. I probably spent more time playing pool in the various space stations in “Rebel Galaxy Outlaw” than doing anything else. Likewise, Kiryu spends a lot of time in the pool hall, as well as hanging around the batting cages, and fine-tuning his pocket racers.
