Tried hitting F8, but nope—just total darkness. I can't even get the Windows logo to show up, and restarting isn't helping at all.

It just keeps looping through that startup menu telling me to hit Enter, then... nothing. Just blackness. It’s stuck in this endless cycle where it goes from the menu straight to a black screen, so I have to hard-reboot the thing just to stop it from spinning its wheels forever.

The only thing I can actually do is get into that startup menu by pressing Enter, but after that? I'm completely lost...

Look, I’m honestly at a loss here. This startup just won't boot into Windows. Every time I hit the power button, it just dumps me straight into the startup menu.

I tried F1 to get into the BIOS setup.
Then there's F12 if you want to pick a temporary boot device.

But when I start clicking through all these tabs, I can't find anything useful—no Safe Mode or any other menu that actually makes sense for what I need to do.

thanks. but it isn't even giving me the option for safe mode, just asking me to hit enter to get into the BIOS, I think?

When I’m clicking through the restart tab, there's zero mention of safe mode. Where the hell am I supposed to find it?

Hey there,

My laptop has been acting incredibly glitchy for a few days now whenever I try to browse using Chrome. It keeps dropping pages left and right, almost like the memory is just giving up on me.

Then, things got worse today. I left the laptop running on battery power, fell asleep, and it ended up dying completely. When I finally plugged it back into the wall and tried to boot it up, it just gets stuck in this endless loop—it hits the startup screen, goes black, tries to start again, and just repeats the whole cycle over and over.

I tried letting it charge for a bit, and I even tried pulling the battery out and popping it back in, but honestly, I’m stumped. I have no clue what happened or how to actually get this thing to turn on.

Specs: Apple ThinkPad Edge with an Intel Core i3

Pretty sure it's running Windows 7.

Clearing out my CD collection—got plenty of Rock, Pop, Electronica, Classical... you name it.

There's a massive mix here: U2, Lou Reed, Sade, The Verve, Tortoise, even some weird indie stuff like Morrissey, Placebo, Blur, Franz Ferdinand, Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Interpol, Lenny Kravitz, and so on.

If you're looking for the heavy hitters, I've got some top-tier pressings from the big labels like Sony, Philips, Deutsche Grammophon, etc. Real deal stuff.

I'll be adding more as I dig through the bins, so just keep an eye on my listings if you're hunting for something specific. If you grab a bunch at once, I can definitely knock the price down for you. I'm based out of Seattle.

The price is way too high, and honestly, the box doesn't even offer anything special.

If it at least had Conan or Sherlock Hound inside, I might feel better about it...

So, I noticed Discovery film is gearing up to release his final masterpiece, "The Wind Rises," hitting theaters on April 14, 2014. I just haven't figured out which specific theaters are showing it yet.

Great movies for sure, but the series I grew up with? Future Boy Conan!!!!

It’s honestly something special—even today, it hits me right in the feels.

Back in the day, this show was playing all over the American airwaves during the 80s.

Just beautiful.

So, at 4 PM today, they're basically just re-running Ponyo again.

I feel like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was the last one.

Before Ponyo, we had Kika the witch, Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke.

Last night I caught Ponyo on PBS.

Does anyone happen to know where this fits into the lineup, and if they’re planning on showing more?

thanks.

I honestly can't wrap my head around the absolute brain rot coming from people who don't even follow soccer—you know, those folks who just watch a game on TV with a beer in hand while nursing a gambling addiction and thinking they're experts.

It’s wild how they’ve managed to paint this picture of hardcore fans being some kind of existential threat to humanity.

Seriously, people, wake up. They’re targeting us at the stadium today, but tomorrow? It could be right in your own backyard.

Support coming in from Cleveland.

My heart goes out to the family. Rest in peace.

It’s just so incredibly sad.
