    Empire in Decline

    Me neither. They'll keep McConnell's rotting corpse connected to life support machines to avoid a special election.

    Seriously???? This is legalized scamming.

    Steam inflicted the train simulator world as well: https://store.steampowered.com/app/24010/Train_Simulator_Classic/ That's why I use Open Rails. Maybe not as much eye candy but much better physics. When I drive a train I want it to feel like driving a train, not something else. This new sim...

    Display standby problem

    That's actually good to know I can put 7 on newer hardware once I'm more flush and can afford an upgrade. Regarding RAM and SSD prices, from my reading sadly it looks like this situation will continue for a very long time. In retrospect the prices I thought were highway robbery not long ago...

    Display standby problem

    So you think it's a driver problem and not something else? At this point it's more of an occasional nuisance than something I can't live with. It's just strange how everything will be working fine and then suddenly it does, roughly after the system is up about 20 something days. So far my...

    Display standby problem

    Yeah, I'm at the latest and last version. And yes, when the problem crops up I just reboot. I was trying to see if maybe someone else encountered this before and had an answer.

    Display standby problem

    This is a problem I've had for probably a few years now but I've never asked about it. I have my two monitors set to turn off after 5 minutes. This works fine until my computer is on 20 something days continuously. After that the displays never go off. After 5 minutes they just randomly flash on...

    Something Random

    Merc, you have my sympathies. I've had way too many of those kinds of weeks lately myself. My brother is a car expert. Maybe if I give him the specs of the tires he can locate a source local to you. At least you didn't get hurt. A blowout at highway speeds is serious business.

    They recovered over $10 million so far. Torture is also how they pay for their crimes. I hope Cambodia has capital punishment for crimes like this.

    So this is what I get for giving up over ten years of my life to care for my mother so she didn't end up in one of those horrible nursing homes? Being homeless? We really need caretaker laws to ensure that time spent caring for family members is taken into account when dividing estates...

    An announcement

    Counseling is a waste of money. If I had money to spare I would be getting dental work. I'm already in considerable pain. This isn't a gamble. You're assuming every ICO is a rug pull. It's launching when they raise $15 million, which will happen in a matter of weeks. That's definite. What the...

    An announcement

    I'll just hope the ICO bails me out then. I'll get about $2,500 USDT rewards each month when it launches, more if the price goes up. That's enough to live on.

    An announcement

    They got hit with a bunch of withdrawals at the same time. Here's what I bought: https://cryptonews.com/price-predictions/blockchainfx-price-prediction/ I know a prediction is only speculation but there's a lot of consensus on the token reaching $1 or more this year. I'll also continue to get...

    An announcement

    I'm dubious this is a rug pull. There's a working cryptocurrency exchange behind it. This is similar to the IPO of the Binance coin. Anyone who got into that IPO did very well. The coin sold for about 10 cents in the IPO. Now it's going for about $600. It peaked at a bit over $1,000. Do the...
