HDtune site:com

It's honestly as easy as pie 👍

Seems I have; searching for "HDtune" using my method yields absolutely zero results that aren't in English.
(though, as previously stated, it works perfectly fine for my specific needs—using American keywords)

HDtune site:us

That follows my formula exactly (looking at the American results for that keyword)👍

ironcyclist58:
The specific American version of the site functions more as a way to interpret commands than to filter results—it just lists "everything" containing those terms (unless you're searching for words exclusive to one language that mean nothing in any other language, which isn't particularly likely)

Morgan Ortiz6:
Try this or click here, or just type into the address bar (where you usually paste a URL):
https://www.google.com/

The Google interface (buttons and everything else on the homepage) will likely follow your account settings rather than being set to American by default.

Below the "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" buttons (they don't have to be in English), click on 'American':
"Google offered in: American" (along with potentially other languages)

Type something into the search box (a word, number, letter—doesn't matter) and hit "Google Search"

Then, at the top right, next to 'All - Images - Maps - ...', go to "Tools", select "All results", and then click "Verbatim"

For my purposes—when I specifically need American results—using Google.com works well enough...

Firefox.

For Chrome, try this approach...

Linda Hughes18 said:What’s your take on resuscitation? Are you all for it, against it, or does it just depend on the circumstances?

I work as a nurse at a local hospital, and we recently had to perform CPR on a woman in her 90s because the doctor ordered it. To me, it feels pointless at that age. Honestly, I think she would have preferred to just pass away peacefully, but hey, who am I to make those calls? 🤷

The thing is, I’ve been thinking about it, and I don't even know where I draw the line. At what age does it stop being "saving a life" and start being "prolonging suffering"? When is it actually better to just let someone go? 🤔

So, what are your thoughts on this?

For or against?!!!
Why on earth would anyone be against attempting to revive someone? Setting aside concerns about suffering, personal vendettas, racial bias, and the like...

... or depending on the situation?

Fine. But that previous "for or against" 🤦... Good grief, Darwin, you scientist!
Is it really that hard to write just "for or depending on the situation"?

... I work as a nurse in a hospital and we recently had to resuscitate a 90-year-old woman on doctor's orders. To me, at that age, it makes no sense...

True. If she hasn't enjoyed life by now, another two hundred years won't fix it...
Are you sure you're a nurse and not, say, a medical stepmother (or some medical hack)?

Perhaps I overstepped. There are likely facts regarding this elderly lady that you neglected to mention...

(Though you could have easily fabricated a scenario or started with a hypothetical, rather than using a real, living human being... And without involving yourself in such an obnoxious manner.)

Daniel Chase13 said:It went from Duspara's initial pitch—which grew to $83 the point where he was basically offering the one thing that would provide undeniable, unquestionable scientific proof of macro-evolution—to running as an actual commercial on NBC, even during prime Sunday slots right before Stankovićev's show.

For over six months, Duspara kept ramping up his offer, and yet, not a single student or professor specializing in evolution from Harvard University, nor anyone from the Ruđer Institute, or any other evolutionary biologist out there, could produce actual evidence to support their stance.
Honestly, it was hilarious—people were practically laughing until they cried reading the whining, the grumbling, and the angry outbursts from evolutionists in letters and messages sent to the newsroom, all because they couldn't provide that definitive proof of macro-evolution.

There were even some desperate evolutionists who almost sounded like they were begging, writing things like, "I want that money!" or "I need that money!"

And then, of course, there were the honest ones—the evolutionists who openly admitted that absolutely no one in the world can provide indisputable, unquestionable proof of macro-evolution.

🤷Well, what do you expect; nothing else was ever expected from evolutionists (evolutionary biologists, I assume)...

I've checked plenty of converter sites, but I can't figure out how to fill in the fields correctly—specifically what goes into the minutes box.
Here is the link where I'm getting stuck on the input fields.
Anyone willing to walk me through how to do this?

If I even understood what you were getting at...

Aha. So I completely missed the mark on football...

Fine.

Charles Gonzalez19 said:Huh? I didn't write that. And just to be clear, I'm not a fan of those kinds of pranks either.

EDIT:
Your name, where you're from, skin color, sexual orientation... basically anything you were born with is totally off limits.

Anything that's actually a personal choice someone makes? That's a whole different story.
An adult being shamelessly dishonest about how the real world works is fair game.

Went back to check. Put my glasses on—and sure enough, it actually says something else now (Stephen).

Damn, it’s not even funny this way... What a waste (not that I approve of this version either—it's hardly "innocent").

Charles Gonzalez19 said:From the video description:

The Masons (specifically those French ‘Enlightenment’ types) labeled certain flourishing eras of Church history as dark ages—a classic diabolical inversion.

So, Dusparin’s church patron, Stjepan razum doba križarski rat i spaljivanje vještica, actually calls these periods the "flourishing eras" of Church history?!?

🤣 Oh, please... alright, fine 👍.

I’m usually not one for these kinds of "jokes" (belittling people like this), but if you want funny, it's there...
How did you even come up with "Priest Crazy Mind" 🙏?

But like I said, I don't approve.

👍 The part above is fine. Everything else isn't. 👎

Copy the address below (the image is a bit too large!).

- click the image icon (Appalachian Mountains and sun)
Paste the copied address into the window that pops up. Make sure the field is actually empty first—it's best to just delete whatever is already sitting there.http://")
- click on "view post"Understood. Ready to proceed."

Important!
- click on "view post"view post(meaning, not on the "Please send the post.Instead of, rather.view post")
If this worked—the image is visible and doesn't look oversized. It looks decent on a monitor. If you imagine the width of the page section including the posts and everything else, it fits fine.)
- click on "view post"Send post"
- view post!!!

If you aren't satisfied with what you saw.
- click on "view post"Edit" Fix the errors. You have enough time to get it right—about an hour, maybe a few extra minutes if needed.
- into the little window"Reason for editing." napiši What's your damn problem?
- click on "view post"Save."

Once more:
After clicking on "view post"Send postMake sure you check the layout of the post. It’s bad form to just drop a mess and walk away.

Hard to explain. (coppersailor28 deleted his profile picture)
Maybe they have an answer for that? (coppersailor28 took away his privileges) ...

(Don't act all offended and start acting smug just because I'm telling you something!) 🍿

Ibrahim-Pr said:... easy enough to deal with on a forum—just use the ignore list. It's basically a trash bin for the site. 😁

What an ill-mannered individual!!! Have you no shame, reading FEMA instead of actually contributing something useful here!

Of course there's an answer. What did you expect—that someone cast a spell on you, leaving you to suffer through this despite being completely innocent?!

Can coppersailor28 get into Unknown? I’ve got some genuine, pretty solid ideas for pulling a few pranks around the forum...

Say 🙂 then ...I don't even know 🙂 and/or 🙂 like maybe 🧐

Should I reach out to Nice, or how does this work?

brightbadger57 said:Hey everyone... so I've got this Windows 10 laptop that worked perfectly fine on my Wi-Fi back home in the States, but now that I'm traveling abroad, things are getting weird. Every time I try to connect to my home modem, it just says "Secured, not connected" and shows that little warning icon ⚠️. Anyone know how to fix this?
My phone connects to the modem without any issues, though... I already tried the whole routine—restarting the modem, rebooting the laptop, even messing around with the password—but nothing's working. Any ideas? Thanks...

If you aren't even attempting to connect to the modem here in the States (take a look at what wearymason4 is saying), then just "log in" or enter the password.
Secured, but no connection. It means that the Wi-Fi is secured with a password, and you aren't currently connected to it.

Mobile phone. It connects to the modem just fine. I already tried restarting both the modem and the router. No luck. Laptop. I'm trying to change my password. Nothing is working.

If you know how to change a password, you clearly have enough technical sense to handle this. Go ahead and check your laptop just to be safe. You might have accidentally tapped the Wi-Fi icon off—especially if you’re using one of those touch-sensitive taskbars on your desktop.

Just lock the thread and call it a day. I’m done reading this 👎

rustywalker1 said:So I installed this and ran it? What now? How am I supposed to know what's missing? If I knew, I wouldn't have downloaded this 😁

try with "Autoruns" (it's portable; 550 KB zip)

Since you don't actually know which specific program is triggering that error (you usually don't see the notification until you attempt to launch something), it’s likely an issue with an autorun file.

Open "Autorun" and once the scan finishes, look for the highlighted entries... the yellow ones, for instance...
(click on a tab like "Everything," then check the "image Path" column for any "File not found: ..." entries) ... then just uncheck the box next to it, or resolve the issue properly.

Yesterday I swapped out Avast for a new antivirus (AVG). Maybe the installation didn't fully complete. I'll try this and see.

That's a possibility. The old AV might not have been uninstalled correctly (for example, a leftover autorun file is still trying to "call" a file that no longer exists on your system).

Robin Hernandez8 said:I'm running an export. Under Save as, I'm only getting the option to save as InDesign files (document, template, or IDML).

🤔 Same here. No clue what I was even looking at—probably nothing worth my time.

Honestly, I have no clue how to fix this.
Personally, I’d just make do with a workaround if I absolutely had to. If I created a PDF in InDesign, I’d just pull it up in some other random PDF viewer or editor. From there, I’d try to save or export it back as a PDF, then attempt to open that version in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Simple enough.
Or you could just try exporting from InDesign into a different format entirely, run that through an "X to PDF" converter, and then test the file in AR again to see if it actually opens.
... That's about it.

Robin Hernandez8 said:Piše:
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot open "book.pdf." The file type isn't supported, or the file itself is corrupted—likely an issue from being sent as an email attachment that didn't decode properly.

This would look like this in English (found via Google, obviously):
Adobe Reader could not open /book.pdf/ because the file type isn't supported or the file itself is corrupted—likely a botched email attachment that failed to decode properly.

Try using some keywords when you Google it, for example: The PDF from InDesign is either unsupported or corrupted. It’s broken.... or some other combination.

Gary Williams47 said:hmm, yeah
Could be, I guess. You clearly know your way around a design suite, but man, I gotta tell you—your nerves are absolutely shot and you've still got a hell of a lot of life left to live. Why don't you try actually doing something productive in that field instead of just stressing out?
btw, Ron's Vintage collection is named after what I consider the most legendary designer of brushes and textures out there, Ron Deviney, and it has zero to do with the font itself; he just happened to use that specific typeface on the cover of his collection, which is why it carries that title—honestly, the title could have easily been "I have no clue, damn it." That’s exactly why forums like this exist, so you can ask a question and maybe someone who actually knows their stuff can give you an answer, even if you're currently flying blind. You probably want to jump down my throat right now for being so clueless, don't you?
At this point, I'm thinking my only move is to find the font through some shady back-channel just to test it out.
Thanks a million, man!

Go back and read my posts in this thread again, one by one.

Quote just one single sentence that—either on its own or within context—points to... heh... my "nervousness." That is, quote a sentence that cannot be understood or read in any way other than as being "nervous"...

I am not responsible for your mood (or rather, how you personally perceive my posts).

If you think you were in a better position yesterday because of your unwavering certainty in your stance (it’s not that font), nope, you weren't... you're wealthier today. And I personally spent about half an hour of my life on you (a complete stranger) for the purpose of enriching your knowledge (/s via adding knowledge or perhaps by "removing" ignorance/).

Gary Williams47 said:Like I said before, it looks pretty similar, but it’s definitely not Shameless because the crossbar on the 't' mimics the curve of the 's' and extends further down, plus the start of the 'V' curls much deeper than what you see in Shamelles. You can't really nail those specific font details unless you're looking at the deluxe version, the regular one, or some other variation, but I've checked and it doesn't match any of them. Am I just splitting hairs here? No. I'm just trying to find the actual font.

It would have been much smarter if you hadn't posted that anywhere else.

...because the crossbar on the 't' looks more like an 's' and extends downward, plus the start of the 'V' curls deeper, which isn't the case in Shamelles.

Look, nobody is calling you "blind." It's just that you can't seem to connect what you're seeing into a coherent whole—clearly, you lack the necessary graphic design knowledge and experience.
Did it even occur to you that the 't' could simply be a capital letter?

You can't get details on a font unless it's the deluxe, regular, or some other specific version...

Not even by erasing, drawing, retouching, copy-pasting, or any other similar "maneuvers" in something like Photoshop?

...and it's been verified that it doesn't match any version.

And how many "versions" have you actually tried? Better yet: how many "versions" do you even know about—aside from the two you listed?

----------- ----------- -----------

- the word "Vintage" doesn't demonstrate (i.e., "promote") a specific font; it was just typed out using a certain font. And it happened to be typed that way "by chance"—it could just as easily have been hand-drawn.
In other words, for the word "Vintage," it's not even remotely important how it was created (whether via a ready-made font, manual drawing, or a combination of both).

- the word "Vintage" isn't presenting the characters of a particular font; it's the design of a name for some "third-party" product.

- the "Shameless" font is a proprietary font (and it isn't cheap). Having "too many similarities" with another font is considered plagiarism. Much like in music or any other creative work.

- etc., etc.

----------- ----------- -----------

Below:
The letters "V", "i", "n", and "T" were typed individually, while "a", "g", and "e" were typed as a single word ("age"). This way, you can use the "Shameless" font to recreate the exact look seen in the sample. The differences are too negligible to claim anything other than the use of "Shameless." Hopefully, that's clear now:

Jessica Nelson4 said:I suppose he went ahead and downloaded the font to give it a proper test run... though if he didn't, well, there's really nothing more to be said about it.

Whether he actually did it or not, his response ("very similar but it's not ...look letters V and t ...thank you anyway") is pathetic.
If he actually checked, he should find a different hobby...
...and if he didn't check, there's no point wasting more breath on him.

I won't even bother mentioning the stats here:
