I’m pretty sure it’s nothing major, and honestly, I haven't thought much about it until now, but here goes. I’m still pretty young—early twenties—and I’ve always had a crazy fast metabolism. It gets even wilder when I’m hitting the gym regularly (like for a six-month stretch), then I end up hitting the bathroom 3 to 6 times a day. Sometimes it even hits seven.
My stomach doesn't hurt, and I almost never deal with any digestive issues, but occasionally those last few trips of the day (like if I've gone five times already and hit the sixth) can feel a little rougher—nothing extreme, really—and I’ll see some traces of blood on the toilet paper when I wipe.
I just figured it was some irritation from going to the bathroom so many times a day, but is this actually something I should be worried about?
I don't really notice the blood when I’m only going three times or less in a day, but whenever my frequency picks up, it shows up. This has been happening for a long time, maybe a year now, but I never let it stress me out because I just assumed it was what I thought it was.
So I just picked up this new PC, wiped it, and installed Windows (cracked version), grabbed my drivers, and loaded up a few basic apps. But here's the kicker: every few minutes—sometimes after just 5 minutes, sometimes after 20—the whole thing just freezes solid. The only way I can get it to respond is by hitting the power button on the case.
I’ve already tried all those standard fixes from here and even that first suggestion in the comments: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge...ndomly-easily/
On top of that, I'm getting the occasional crash with a "clock_watchdog_timeout" error message.
I'm honestly at a loss. This machine is basically a paperweight right now, and I really don't feel like nuking everything and starting the whole installation process from scratch again...

Hey, I'm looking to pick up a desktop setup and a monitor for around $750... My last rig was built over at Micro Center, and since it seems like everyone still heads there first, they're my top choice right now.
I’ll mostly be using the PC for gaming—everything from the heavy hitters to the lighter stuff.
So, here's the deal... I'm hanging out on Meta using Google Chrome on my laptop, and all of a sudden, chats start popping up randomly with people I haven't talked to in ages. Most of them are unread messages, but I honestly have no clue what the catch is. In theory, my Meta account should be totally private—I've got SMS two-factor enabled, and my security settings are tight as a drum on everything except the device itself.
I'm running Norton, so there's definitely no virus, but it's driving me crazy because I can't find anyone on Google having this exact same issue. Usually, people complain about chats opening when a *new* message hits, but I'm not getting new notifications; these are old chats from way back in the day just jumping open. If this is a bug, it’s a weird new one.
For the tenth anniversary? Honestly, it’s underwhelming. If this were just another regular year instead of this massive "jubilee special" they’ve been hyping up, I wouldn't mind as much. But for the 10th year? No way. They really could have booked a ton of better bands within the same budget. But hey, I grabbed an early bird ticket and ended up getting kind of burned. I guess I was just being optimistic, hoping for the best, only to end up with a lineup of bands I barely even listen to. But whatever, it is what it is.
I tried drafting a longer post earlier this morning, but it just wouldn't post for some reason... Anyway, I'm back from my trip, sat down to fire up my PC, and everything seems to be running fine now—typing this right on it. It might have just overheated since I left it running all afternoon, plus there’s a ton of dust in there (it hasn't been cleaned in forever)... I ran a virus scan recently too; I think it found just one thing, maybe a Trojan or something...
The OS is Windows 10 Home Premium, 64-bit, genuine copy... And "what OS," he asks? Yeah, right...
So I’m basically just gaming and chatting on Skype when—bam—total freeze. I sit there waiting for a bit, but nothing happens. Not even Ctrl+Alt+Del, nothing. I even hit the physical reset button on my tower... but then the PC tells me it didn't shut down properly and throws those options at me: Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, or Normal Startup. Since it keeps saying the system failed to load, I tried selecting "Normal" first, but nope, it won't boot. So I go back into that menu, try "Startup Repair" like a pro, and still... nothing. It just won't boot up. I loop back through the same steps, try repair again, and still dead in the water. Then it asks if I want to send a report or just "Don't Send." I picked "Don't Send," and the thing just shuts off. Should I just wipe the drive and format everything?
stormycobra52 said:but honestly, that's just down to you. It’s all about picking the one that feels right in your hand and looks cool to you.
My bad, I phrased that poorly. What I actually meant was that I want to hear about your experiences—basically, what features you think are actually worth the money at that price point...
The whole thing about him passing out... everything looked fine in all my searches before, but maybe something happened after the fact, I honestly don't know... He didn't have any major issues leading up to this. I’m no expert, obviously, but he was pretty active—out walking around the city three times a day and everything...
Grandpa took a nasty fall somewhere downtown a few days ago, and honestly, nobody can agree on what actually happened—witnesses are all telling different stories. He ended up with some bruised ribs and a hit to his right eye. His eye looks like a total pumpkin right now; at first, he seemed mentally okay, but even though the swelling is going down, he’s totally lost. He doesn't recognize anyone and keeps talking about people we've never even heard of.
Does anyone have an idea what this could be? Anything at all?
They actually had to restrain him at the hospital because he’s completely disoriented and keeps trying to wander off.
Jack Johnson6 said:They’d never play it like that. That game doesn't mean a thing to Dortmund; they've got Real Madrid coming up in a few days, so they'll probably rest the whole squad—and their bench is pretty thin.
True, but you have to remember, these guys are German. I always say that when they play, they play like it's the 90th minute and the whole season is on the line. They just never stop.
Maybe a little, but sitting out Pulisic isn't really a huge blow since I figured Klopp would rest a few guys anyway. Either way, thanks for the heads up. Nothing's a lock, but personally, I think the bottom two picks are safer. 🙂
Fortuna Dusseldorf vs. Borussia Dortmund Saturday, 4/27/2013 at 6:30 PM Pick: 2 Odds: 1.75 Dortmund is one of those teams that keeps the pedal to the metal all season long, even after they've already locked in their spot. They’ve found that rhythm again after a bit of a mid-season slump. And don't even get me started on fatigue—German squads are basically built differently when it comes to conditioning. I'm taking the away win here, no question about it.
Wigan vs. Tottenham Saturday, 4/27/2013 at 4:00 PM Pick: 2 Odds: 2.05
Wigan just doesn't have the depth. Their manager is decent enough, but even Martinez can't pull miracles out of a hat with this roster. On the other side, Tottenham is locked in a dogfight with Arsenal and Chelsea to grab a top 4 spot and get into the Champions League. Villas-Boas has everything clicking right now; they absolutely tore through City 3-1 recently, so I'm smelling an away win.
Arsenal vs. Manchester United Sunday, 4/28/2013 at 5:00 PM Pick: 1 Odds: 2.20 Both these sides are heavy hitters. Arsenal is playing at home, and let's be real—SAF has pretty much already secured the title. Arsenal will be missing Arteta (who's been a total liability this season—just constant mistakes and unnecessary fouls) and Giroud (who's been struggling big time lately, missing sitters he shouldn't even miss). Personally, I think Podolski finally gets the start he deserves and should give that United defense some serious headaches. Bottom line: if you ask me, losing Arteta and Giroud isn't actually a blow, because honestly, AW probably wouldn't even play them if they were actually performing.
Fenerbahçe vs. Benfica - Over 1.5 goals 1.30 US Odds 04/25/2013, 9:05 PM
Two or more goals at 1.30 odds? Come on, this is a total lock to toss into a parlay with a couple of other picks. Both squads are looking sharp. They tore through some tough opponents like Chelsea and Lazio, and they’ve been crushing it in their own domestic leagues too. I'm expecting some high-octane football here, and I'm pretty sure we'll see at least 2 goals. 🙂 If you need more proof, just look at the stats: in all four quarterfinal matches so far (Fenerbahçe vs. Chelsea, Benfica vs. Lazio), there were at least 2 goals scored in every single one.
Basel vs. Chelsea - Home win or Both Teams to Score 1.75 US Odds 04/25/2013, 9:05 PM
Again, I think the value here is great. The Swiss side is definitely going to find the back of the net regardless of how the defense looks—we saw them do it against Tottenham, so Chelsea shouldn't have an easy time keeping a clean sheet.
