Much appreciated

Hey there, I'm currently running an HP Pavilion 15
and you can check out the full technical specs right here http://www.acer.com/ac/hr/HR/content/model/NX.GA4EX.004

I'm looking to bump up my memory by either 4 or 8 gigs, but I've been having a hard time tracking down the exact specs of the RAM currently installed—specifically the frequency and the manufacturer—since nothing seems to pop up in my searches.
I’d really rather not crack the case open unless it’s absolutely necessary to get this upgrade done, so if anyone happens to have those specific details handy, I would truly appreciate it if you could share them.

P.S. Do you think I'll run into any compatibility issues if I decide to go with an additional 8 gigs, considering there's already a single 4 gig stick inside?

Here is a quick little guide for you 😁
So, you’ve just received a notice regarding a legal judgment or debt collection. First—and I mean this figuratively, since it isn't technically the first step—grab your calendar and count out eight days starting from the day after you received the notice. Make sure you mark that eighth day clearly; if that day happens to fall on a weekend or a federal holiday, just skip ahead to the next business day and keep that date in mind.
Once you have that specific deadline noted, take a close look at the judgment itself, because you really only have two paths forward depending on whether you actually owe the money or not.
1. If you believe the debt isn't yours (for instance, if you have proof that you already paid, they charged you for a fee that shouldn't exist, or the statute of limitations has passed), you'll need to file an Objection. There isn't a strict template you have to follow, but you must clearly explain why you aren't liable. You should submit four identical, signed copies of this objection either in person or via mail to the notary public who delivered the notice, and you absolutely must do this by that deadline we calculated earlier. From there, the matter moves to the court system, where you'll get your chance to present the evidence proving the claim is baseless.
2. If you actually owe the debt, check to see if the creditor is being represented by an attorney or a law firm. If they aren't using legal counsel, you simply pay the debt plus the service fees listed on the back of the document, making the payment directly to the creditor rather than the notary.
However, if an attorney or a law firm is representing the creditor, flip the page over to look at the costs, because there are two different scenarios here.
a)If the listed costs only include the notary's fee, the delivery charge, the certification fee, and the attorney's fee for drafting the initial filing, then just give the attorney a call. Ask them how and where you can settle the debt along with those specific costs, and then go ahead and pay them.
b)On the other hand, if the charges include all of those items plus additional fees for things like obtaining extra certifications or serving the final judgment—basically extra administrative stuff related to the finalized order—then be careful. If it's just the single certification fee mentioned before, don't sweat the small stuff over $10, but if there are other extra charges, follow this: pay only the basic costs I described in option A (excluding that one certification fee). Once that's settled, write up an Objection stating that while you have paid the principal debt, you are contesting the additional fees under section B because those specific costs were never actually incurred, and hand four copies of that to the notary.
Everything I've laid out here needs to be handled by that specific deadline you marked on your calendar.
Best,

That FBI stunt was actually quite a smart move 🙏
The emblem looks pretty sharp ☕

It definitely is, though you really ought to give them a heads-up beforehand since most courtrooms are pretty cramped and don't have much room for spectators, but there are certainly larger venues that can accommodate a decent crowd.
I actually caught a hearing regarding a war crimes case last week 😁, which took place over at the federal level, and since they held it in one of those massive courtrooms, it was absolutely packed.

rustyfox3 said:The production budget was only $250,000, which is honestly hard to wrap my head around because it looks so much better than that—it's basically $416667. I really wonder when American filmmakers will start following in the footsteps of Indiana by producing work that is actually high-quality, affordable, and truly original.

It’s a decent enough movie, though I did find the lead actor's performance to be a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the cast.

I can tell you for a fact that this won't be what gets drawn☕

I’ve felt my fair share of minor tremors before, though usually it’s just a subtle vibration where you notice the chandelier swinging before you even feel the ground move.
But I did experience one significantly stronger earthquake once, back when I was much younger, right around 8 in the morning, and the entire room shook so violently that it sounded like an explosion went off nearby, which actually led my neighbor to tell me she thought a massive semi-truck had slammed into our building.

briskowl18 said:I mean, didn't you notice how they walked onto the field against the Stallions? It felt like their whole vibe was just "let's get this over with" without giving up a single goal. That’s why those scrappy situations actually worked out in their favor—they were playing defense and looking to close the book early. The Spanish guys, though—they weren't feeling that at all. They actually want to play football, you know? They were out there trying to create chances and push for a goal rather than just running out the clock.

I mean, haven't you realized by now that for decades, the core philosophy of Italian teams has basically just been "whatever we do, don't let them score."

If people watched this game without that heavy anti-Italian bias, they’d see that the Italians were actually being decent by kicking the ball out the second they saw an opponent go down, which is a huge difference from the Spaniards who tended to just keep playing until the ref finally blew the whistle... And as for Di Natale, one good play doesn't make a career.
When I think about fair play, the first person who comes to mind is that guy everyone calls the "fascist who has no place in soccer"—Di Canio—and of course, he's Italian too...

Avatar 2 = twice as long, twice as pathetic, and twice as boring 😁

darkmarlin16 said:I mean, honestly, if ESPN carries La Liga, FOX handles the Premier League, and CBS takes over Serie A, then everyone’s actually winning for once
Spanish matches are stuck at 10 PM, English games are all over the afternoon, and the Italians are on at 8 PM

That's just wishful thinking😁

I keep telling you the exact same thing over and over again.
PBS isn't obligated to broadcast any of the major leagues, not even the Champions League, if you catch my drift.

I totally get what you're saying and I agree with you completely, but I can't help feeling like they're just teasing us by throwing a little bit of the Premier League our way just to hook us, making us think we should go out and buy some "ultra-modern cable package" (not that I'm trying to advertise here).
I'm the kind of person who really values consistency, someone who likes to look at the schedule on a Tuesday and know for sure that there's Premier League action on Saturday at 4:00 PM or maybe some Serie A on Sunday night around 8:30 or 9:00—it doesn't even have to be both, it just needs to be a predictable routine—so you actually know what to expect, and honestly, I'd much rather they just make a firm decision on whether they're going to broadcast it or not once and for all.
It might seem like a minor detail, but those little things really matter.

Jeffrey Taylor49 said:Compared to Canada, you guys don't have a clue about soccer, but we've got more than we know what to do with... honestly, is there even a league left that doesn't have it here?

That is exactly my point, because people might assume there is plenty of coverage just by looking at how much other countries' networks broadcast it....

Carl Mendoza4 said:Hey there. If you're looking to catch more action, there are plenty of international channels out there, plus the whole internet at your fingertips.
My goodness, even that hilarious local station, ABC, is carrying the Copa Libertadores.

Ebiga, I don't have an ABC subscription so I wasn't really in the loop on that, otherwise I definitely would have mentioned it, but honestly, I don't think it changes anything at all.

I realize we probably won't find much objectivity here since there's never enough soccer to go around 😛, and if I had posted this in a different corner of the internet, say a lifestyle forum 😛, the responses would be completely different, but I'm not interested in their opinions, just yours 😛.
It’s honestly a shame that our TV networks—specifically CBS these days—seem to only care about showing the Champions League, MLS, or whenever the national team plays or some local club shows up in Europe; everything else is just ignored, though they did squeeze in some UEFA cup matches recently. They claim they broadcast La Liga and Serie A, but I can't help but laugh because they only show replays every once in a blue moon, mostly because they're too busy cycling through the same old movies for the thousandth time. On top of that, you rarely see anything from the English Premier League unless it's one of those big four derbies. It used to be that networks like FOX regularly showed the Premier League, but that's gone now, likely because they don't want soccer getting in the way of corporate interests. As for soccer shows, we're stuck with the two about MLS and the Golden Boot. I have absolutely nothing good to say about that Golden Boot show... seriously, people, they can't even manage to cover the bottom half of the standings, which tells you everything you need to know. Occasionally you'll get a report on a league where they only bother to show a single match, and I often get the impression that the commentators working the Sunday broadcasts for the Italian and Spanish replays don't even know who is playing until the broadcast actually starts, leaving them totally unprepared and unable to offer any actual insight.
That's just the state of things on our television stations, whereas when I tune into foreign programming like ABC or other international channels, they consistently broadcast Serie A (with ABC and others showing up to three matches a weekend), the Premier League (often showing two games a day on Saturdays and Sundays), the UEFA cup, and Copa Libertadores, along with major derbies from Brazil, Argentina, and Scotland, plus the semifinals and finals of many major European cups—they even showed Bayern Munich vs. Dortmund recently. They also provide extensive coverage of Copa Libertadores and Serie A
.Now I find myself wondering if this is simply because those networks have more money than we do, or if there is something else at play, so please, share your thoughts
.

That Russian billionaire was actually set to acquire Juventus FC, which would have meant the Agnelli family—the folks behind Fiat—losing control of a club that’s been part of their legacy for over 80 years. It looks like they decided to keep it in the family after all, and honestly, thank God for that, because it really makes you wonder if everything in this world truly comes down to just money...

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the help, and a huge shoutout to Brandon Price3 specifically for sending over that link.

I want to apologize in advance if this isn't quite the right spot for this kind of discussion, though I did try posting it over in the student lounge section and didn't really get much of a response there.
I’m looking for some insight from anyone who has navigated law school, specifically regarding how you handle Latin legal maxims when you're drafting papers—whether you should provide a literal translation in your footnotes or just offer a plain English explanation of the concept if you haven't already defined it in the main body of your text. Also, I was wondering about the standard protocol for citing statutes, specifically whether you always list the Federal Register as your primary source in your citations.
If the moderators wouldn't mind letting this thread stay up until tomorrow morning, I would really appreciate it since I'm working against a bit of a deadline with these questions.
Thanks so much for the help!
