Is it just me, or is everything nowadays just a hollow dopamine hit? We spend all our time scrolling or optimizing ourselves, but it never actually feels like we're truly living or enjoying anything. Does anyone else feel like we've lost the ability to actually experience genuine pleasure?

Matthew Wright69 said:Now you're stuck. I've got the same Dell XPS 13, just with the nVidia card, and the issue is you can't touch the SSD, upgrade the RAM, or heaven forbid swap the optical drive for a caddy yourself without nuking the warranty. Everything has to go through an authorized service center. Which usually costs a premium. So if you want an SSD, then save up for more RAM, then save for a caddy... you're looking at multiple trips to the shop. Especially if you don't live in Washington, D.C....

Sent from my PMT5777_3G using Reddit

Just grab the laptop and the Samsung SSD from Best Buy and ask them to swap it out right there on the spot.
They did a RAM upgrade for me once like that, no issues at all.

Dell XPS 13 + Samsung SSD

Gotta grab a caddy too if you want to swap the DVD drive for an extra hard drive. They go for about $40 bucks...

I'd go with Dell. My old 7348 has been a beast... works like a charm. 👍
Plus, looks like Dell's offering a longer warranty.

Cheaper move is grabbing a used motherboard on eBay, then pairing it with a pricier new laptop.
Might be able to snag a board for around $100...

Check the bottom of the laptop... there's a sticker with the Windows key on it.
Just grab the installer from the web and plug that key in during setup.
That keeps everything totally legit.

If you didn't get a recovery disc with the machine though... I'm not sure how you'll handle it.

Anyone manage to snag the new version before the site went down?

It’s version 5.0.380... dropped on 5.5.2010.

Been using Google Chrome for over 5 months now... everything's working perfectly.

Wondering if I can set this to English. Every word I type gets underlined in red... they think it's a mistake just because it's in English🤣

Used to use IE, got a ton of sites saved in my favorites I visit every day. Any way to move them over to this Google Chrome?🤔

1. Right-click where you're typing and pick EN.

2. Export IE favorites as an HTML file. Then import that same file into Chrome.
2.1 Go to Bookmark Manager
then hit Tools at the top
click that...
Click Import Bookmarks.
Pick the file you saved from IE.

Then organize them however you want.

Maybe if a moderator or some admin actually shows up to tell us whether calling people morons and idiots is allowed...

silverjackal said:🙏🙏got any recommendations?🤣

Your best bet is getting close to Anderlon... 🤣
Then you could be a moderator or an admin...

The opportunities would be endless... 🤣

silverjackal said:look at the old threads... they aren't even on bad terms... quite the opposite... but sure...😲come on man, don't go there. mods gotta be neutral, right? obviously... sigh...

Mods should be unbiased...
The government should work for minimum wage...
The world should just have peace...
🤣🤣

Everyone knows how this works. You get cozy with a mod, and suddenly they let you slide with whatever crap you pull in their subforum.

My advice? Get on the admin's good side... 😁
Then it just comes down to who's got more muscle...

One person pulls the moderator card...
And then you pull the admin card... Do you feel lucky, punk? Do you... 🙂
😁

Let me guess...
Is the mod playing nice with that person who was insulting you?

silverjackal said:Doesn't matter... not yet... if it's allowed, if I'm actually permitted to call people idiots, then I've clearly lost the plot, so there's no point even bringing it up.

P.S. just being real here

Come on....
I think people just want to know what kind of stuff mods won't tolerate... 😁

silverjackal said:So I'm wondering, can I just call someone an idiot without getting flagged for harassment? Better yet, not just avoiding a penalty, but not even getting a warning? Is that how this works? Because apparently not...

Basically, some person called me an idiot out of nowhere—didn't even insult me first—and said we're all stupid. I fired back pretty hard and ended up losing my 45 points... totally deserved, honestly. But they didn't even get a warning. They started it. Called everyone stupid and called me an idiot personally, for no reason at all.

The moderator told me that calling someone an idiot or stupid isn't actually an insult😕 and there won't be any punishment. So, is that really the deal? There are plenty of people on this forum I'd love to call idiots... if they can say it to me, then great. Does that mean I can go ahead and tell anyone I want that they're stupid and an idiot without worrying about it?

Is this some new rule I missed??
Need an answer here, so I know if I can start roaming the subforums calling everyone I dislike stupid and an idiot.

Which moderator? 😁
Wondering if she’d be offended by that. 🤣

I think CDBurnerXP is pretty solid.

Just saw the latest Windows 7 x64 build 7229. popped up on The Pirate Bay.
Should be the last one before RTM...

They’re already rubbing their hands together thinking about all that cash...
Now they're just making rookie mistakes....

😁

Maybe try Google instead.

A little food for thought...

Lawrence Kim83 said:So, is it actually possible for a girl to get pregnant from "pre-cum"?
I read somewhere that there aren't any sperm in the pre-ejaculate, but if there's a second round after the first ejaculation, there could be a tiny amount of leftover sperm in the penis that might cause pregnancy.

I'm with Carol Harris64 on this one.
You basically answered your own question.

One more thing...

Susan Cooper3 said:there's no way I could ever have a kid using someone's sperm after they've passed... whether right before or after... the whole thing just feels morbid, gross, and unnecessary to me...

So I actually read that damn article...
The guy left frozen sperm just in case he ended up sterile...
And then he dies....

Anyway, they were planning on having a baby...
Now the wife's gone to court to get permission to use it.
