Regarding those refillable ink printers:

Manufacturer websites often let you search for compatible memory based on your motherboard model, or you can just use tools like this: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner

It would probably look something like this inside:

2x8, for dual channel.

From what I can tell, you'll need DDR3; trying to link up DDR4 just won't work. What processor are you running?

If I’m following the earlier threads correctly—the issue only crops up if you're running an Nvidia card instead of using a DisplayPort connection.

Can I, at 62, look someone who's 40 in the eye and say, "Listen, kid, you don't get to critique the mess my generation made"? 🤔 Joža Manolić claims anyone under 90 is just a kid. 🤣

Neurological development typically wraps up around age 25, specifically regarding those prefrontal cortex functions like analysis, strategic thinking, abstract reasoning, and emotional regulation. Personally, I’d say the window between 25 and 30 is when true maturity actually kicks in. That upper limit isn't set in stone, though. Cognitive decline isn't nearly as predictable as developmental milestones, so you could easily find an 80-year-old in better mental shape than someone in their 70s.

When it comes to technical discussions, years on the job aren't the only thing that matters—expertise is key. A sixteen-year-old still stuck in high school doesn't just lack the cognitive tools needed for a serious debate; they usually don't have the facts to back it up either.

Then there’s the whole conversation around her mental health and specific diagnoses—things like developmental delays (by their account), anxiety, depression, and Asperger. It’s a slippery slope, though. Depending on how you look at it, those traits could be seen as a weakness or an advantage. It all depends on your perspective.

If anyone actually wants to have a serious discussion, I’d suggest bringing in someone who actually works in the field professionally—someone with a PhD, proper academic credentials, and a solid history of relevant research under their belt. Age-wise, we’re probably looking at someone in the 30 to 60 range.

Dragging a kid with Asperger to the UN isn't exactly a scientific debate; it's just activist performance art.
I'm not saying it can't be useful, but personally, I find it pretty distasteful—even when it's coming from a platform I generally agree with. I have a real issue with the dumbing down of any subject, but unfortunately, populism is what drives politics these days.

Anyway, that’s a whole different debate and doesn't really matter for the question being asked here.

Because

A man's character is tested when he has everything.
A woman's character is tested when her man has nothing.

Men are truly tested when women start using emotional blackmail and demanding justice. The Taliban wouldn't have an issue with 😁

Pura's acting surprised by this nonsense again. 😁

hiddenpuma75 said:1) Regarding points c and e, I have to say I'm actually quite surprised you think there’s any distinction between being reasonable and being rational. To me, they're essentially synonyms, though I’d certainly welcome someone explaining the difference to me 🤔

2) As for point e, I want to state quite firmly that love isn't an emotion. An emotion is being infatuated, or feeling attraction, or feeling anger or fear.
I think I've finally grasped the true distinction between infatuation and love, which seems to be something many people struggle to understand..
Love is a state of being and an act of will; it is NOT an emotion OR a feeling.
The enlightened Bernadette Roberts explains this much better than I ever could—she's honestly the only female genius I've encountered in my search for the truths of the universe and the significance of the number 42

A long time ago, back when I was young, handsome, and blissfully ignorant, I started a thread on an old message board titled

Why did Brad and Jennifer and Brad and Angelina break up, but your mom and dad didn't...
with the subtitle :

And why didn't your parents leave you, even though your girlfriends and boyfriends did? 😉

They aren't exactly wealthy Hollywood stars sending over trainloads of toys.
Regarding that—it all comes down to evolutionary psychology. 😁

I watched this video, and honestly, it’s pretty much what I expected. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it gets the point across without being too loud about it. There aren't many surprises here, which might be a downside if you're looking for something groundbreaking, but it serves its purpose. It's fine. Not life-changing, just fine.

Quincy:

And why didn't your parents walk out on you, yet your girlfriend and that guy did? 😉

Nobody’s ever really walked out on me, but if I had to pinpoint why—I’d probably blame evolutionary psychology. 😁
Biology textbooks. 😳

Don't overthink it.

It looks like this is based on using the VESA Adaptive-Sync standard integrated into HDMI, which AMD also uses. Since it isn't their own proprietary tech, there probably aren't any branding or political reasons for them to skip out on 🤔

HDMI-HDMI

I don't think you can, since that tech is tied to AMD, if I recall correctly. Honestly, unless you're some hardcore gamer, you probably won't even notice a difference. My G-Sync setup works fine enough, and it's really not that big of a deal to me.

If you're looking at long-term ink costs, your best bet right now is probably one of those refillable tank models. You can usually find decent options in the $100 to $200 range.

For instance, check this out:

If you need an automatic document feeder for scanning multi-page docs, try this:

Epson, HP, and others carry similar deals.

Most of the ones I've looked at have Wi-Fi, though honestly, wireless printing can be a headache. It's usually better to just stick with a cable.

Any closed-back headphones will work.

Open-back models offer slightly better sound quality and spatial imaging. They breathe better and feel more comfortable, but they leak sound and let noise in. Audiophiles usually prefer them when they’re in a quiet environment.

Closed-back ones have slightly inferior sound, though the bass tends to be punchier. They run a bit warmer and provide decent isolation since they don't leak sound. These are the go-to for studio work, commuting, or any situation where you need to tune out the world.

An example of open-back: https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/high-qu...urround-hd-650

An example of closed-back: https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/around-...reo-mic-hd-569

Just make sure the description explicitly states they are closed-back and you should be fine. There are plenty of options out there; most consumer-grade models are closed-back anyway.

Why can't we just shoot this in sexy lingerie, like the rest of the world does? 🤷

Man, if Kuscevic could get away with it, then this whole shady moderator conspiracy led by Sorosevska can too. 🙂

So much for freedom of speech. This isn't exactly how democracy is supposed to work, is it? 😈
It’s the same old story around here. A little envelope for one person, a kickback for another... 🥳

Maria Johnson said:Where else am I supposed to go? This is the only spot where I can actually call out the moderators. It’s wild to me that they get away with this stuff; they see the complaints and just keep doing it.
If I acted the way they do, I’d be banned instantly.

I think it’s about time you reported them to the BBB.👍

Maria Johnson said:You should ask them. I haven't laid a finger on them or even said a word to them in six months.☕

Besides, let's aim for at least one topic a week over on FEMA. 🤣

Cheap "spirituality" is just as volatile as any other passing fad. It’s always the same cycle of trendy "mindfulness techniques," manufactured narratives, fake myths, or some other kind of magic pill.

neonmarlin39 said:That’s actually one of the big reasons why people here in the States get Tantra all mixed up with sex. There isn't really a direct link—not in practice, not in theory, and definitely not in what the word "Tantra" actually means. To put it simply, it's just a spiritual, psychological, and physical practice meant to unite Jiva with Shiv—basically merging individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, or Atman with Paratman.

Or maybe it is... 😳 🙂
