Thanks for the reply. So I pay and send the PayPal via email.

There isn't much of a gap between 50% and two-thirds, but I am curious—for which specific penalties does that three-day rule actually apply? Is it strictly for those arriving by mail?

Hi,
I have a few quick questions.

I got cited today for not carrying my state ID. The fine is $67 plus $33 in processing fees.

Does that 50% discount for paying within 3 days actually apply here, or am I stuck with the 2/3 amount they mentioned at the precinct during the 8-day window?

I'm assuming that "discount" only covers the base fine and doesn't touch those administrative fees, which still need to be paid in full?

Also, do I need to physically bring the receipt back to the station?

Thanks,

There are adapters out there similar to this:



You should check http://www.amazon.com/ to see what they have available locally and what the price point looks like.

Maybe there’s a thread on a forum where someone has actually used one, so it might be worth searching; personally, I haven't messed with them.

Alternatively, if you’re just using the drive for backups, you could grab an external IDE enclosure. Just slide the drive in and plug it via USB whenever you need it.

EDIT: Just realized I botched the images above 😬, but you get the gist of what I mean.🙂

They sent you a SATA cable, but you’re working with an old IDE hard drive.

You actually need a cable like this:



The real question is whether your motherboard even has an IDE slot left on it. Check it out or just snap a photo and let me know.

It should look something like this:



As for powering the drive, you'll need a connector like this:



You probably have one of those on your power supply, so it shouldn't be an issue.

4. zarn 🤣

It’s alphabetical order.

edit ; damn, I got preempted 😁

Not you.

That Hondin Amigo is smarter than those droids. The ships have... hmm... how should I put this... some design flaws, but the lightsabers are OP.

What kind of Sci-Fi is this?

😬

Btw, Sci-Fi is underrated. Every time we sit down to watch movies and I suggest a Sci-Fi flick, I get this exact same reaction.🙄

It’s like I’m the only one who actually appreciates Sci-Fi.

Everyone’s complaining about having to scroll more, but honestly, the layout feels narrower than it used to be, and I’m not digging it much.🙂.

Also, what is the deal with these obnoxious white lines? Is anyone actually planning to fix this? 😬

Let's be real: ads are a necessary evil, but they're also a godsend because they keep this Reddit alive. This gorgeous Nokia will be up for two weeks. 🙂

Since we actually give a damn about your opinion and don't want to drown this place in spam, we’re pulling the standard 160-pixel right sidebar while this wallpaper ad is running. Expect that change sometime after 8 PM tonight.

Right now, the site width is sitting at 1100 pixels. Honestly? It’s probably too wide. Long lines make reading a pain, though that’s a debate for another day. Some sites stay ad-free yet still stick to a fixed width—take the Webmaster's forum Webmaster, for example. They actually pay attention to those details and keep things at 950 pixels.

Our goal is simple: fund this site using ads that aren't aggressive and, ideally, actually useful. I don't think this one is over the top; it’s static and doesn't mess with the actual content area.

Bottom line: we're listening to you. We're looking for the least painful way to host the ads that, as I said, we absolutely need.

You could have at least fixed this, considering how incredibly obnoxious it is.😬

Grace Anderson3 said:I have to wonder if the new developer and the site owner have even bothered to look at how this forum actually looks.
If they had, they’d see that aside from a few technical glitches, the layout is just aggressively obnoxious to look at! 🙂If you guys absolutely need ads to stay afloat, they should be subtle, not taking over the entire page.

And yeah... I’ve got two Nokia phones that are way more durable 😬 than the junk you're advertising here.
Are you happy now? 🙄

It's about time I fixed this typo in the name since there isn't a setting for it. I'll also capitalize the first letter. 🙂.

From driftingtinker7 to Pharadox? 😬

Fine, just reach out to Sash.

Yeah,

A group of us were hanging out at a buddy's place, digging through his movie collection, and someone suggested we watch some romantic crap😬. I had to pretend I’d already seen it just because nobody else wanted to push back🙂

Luckily, all those rom-coms are basically clones of each other, so you don't have much ground to cover when you're lying about it😛.

Sure, but from what I’ve read when I was looking into this, mixing whey with water and adding some glucose is actually better for post-workout. Since milk contains casein—that slow-digesting protein—it slows down absorption, and you really want that stuff hitting your system as fast as possible right after training.

This approach is specifically for post-workout; for any other meal, mixing whey with milk is fine.

That’s what I was told, though maybe I was just being fed a line.😁

Maybe I'm out of the loop here, but since when did we start mixing protein with milk?

Actually, since when was protein even more effective with milk instead of water?

It should have been a Swiss watch... or maybe I was just dreaming.😁

gentlemason10 said:So I just picked up some whey for the first time today, and it’s got all that added sugar... what's the best way to mix this stuff? Water, milk, fruit? Or does it not really matter?

Go with water. Definitely don't use milk.

It depends. You might not need to. I actually broke mine right where all those bones meet up.

I broke a bone in my foot about eight years ago. It wasn't one of the toes, just some other bone in the midfoot.

If you look at the X-ray, the fracture is barely even visible, yet I was stuck wearing this flimsy, soft cast all summer long. They set it, then when I went back for a follow-up two months later, they told me I had to wear it for another month. They wouldn't even let me wash my leg😁, if you can believe that😲.
