  • My friend who was getting married did a friends thanksgiving every year back then. His partner had a friend from school she was dedicated to finding someone for her. We met at the party and me being super shy and awkward back then made things very strange. She was interested though for some reason and we had our first date a week later and have been married for 13 years now.

    At that time i was kind of old and very shy since my entire teens and early 20s i was rejected by everyone. You have no idea how much of an impact that has on yourself, but i was definitely depressed for a while until someone finally gave me a chance to breakout.




  • Over the past few years i have also realized rufus is the only thing making windows 11 installs easy or even possible. I had several devices i needed to get onto 11 and i remember 1 laptop i tried for days doing so many different things and it would just fail most of the way through and i couldnt figure out why. I then found rufus and saw that it allows some changes to get it working on some older devices andbit worked perfectly on the first try. Idk what MS is doing but they continue to screw up time after time.




  • Thats roughly the same as my car and yeah its about 2-3 min to fill, but i agree with that guy. I never just stand there holding it, use the lever to lock it and walk around for the few minutes. It releases its self once full so i cant think of any reason why i would want to stand there holding it.

    Also this is only when i go on trips since i live in 1 of only 2 states that require attendants to pump our gas for us… i hate it and would rather do it myself. They are normally understaffed so they take forever to get to you and normally in a bad mood.




  • I did, put $20 in to bet on the superbowl one year and won. I made a bunch of NBA bets until the end of the season and won a lot of them as well. I made $300 and took $200 out. I played some more with the $100, went up and down but ultimately lost it. Still overall gain of $180 was fine by me! My friends all love to use it as well, but they are way more into sports than I am. They do the whole fantasy leagues and stuff.

    I have no issue with gambling, but if you are not a responsible person you should absolutely stay away. I grew up playing poker with friends so thats why I always enjoyed it.

    Seeing all the comments I feel like I am completely different from everyone else here lol.






  • Whenever a special is on tv I run into issues as well. I saw they used to allow stream if you had HBO max account but just stopped in November because cnn wanted to go direct and let people pay them for monthly subscriptions now. I gave up looking and gave them the $3 for the month just to get it. I’ve pretty much used up all my free trials on all the live tv apps anyway. Not sure what you have but they still give you access if you have cable tv and can log in with the service provider account.



  • Oh I know, I work in the industry as well. Our company backups alone for workstations and servers is just under 1 petabyte. This is then replicated to an offsite location which is also out disaster recovery location, and also stored in long term storage in Azure. This is just backups, sooo much money for backups haha. Thats why I am shocked that this entire company can run off of 300tb which is a lot, but nothing when you think of it being the entire business model for them.

    I think the craziest thing ive seen is we have these instruments that do genome testing and sequencing and they would create like 10tb worth of data per month. Every month they got there own 10tb drive handed to them to backup their stuff on there own on top of the ones we did for them.
