Meningitis. Symptoms here. The light sensitivity and sore neck are early warning ones. By the time the dark blotches / rash show up on your skin you’re dealing with nasty sepsis.

It nearly killed my sister. Weeks in ICU.

Almost 30 years later she still looses her balance on any kind of incline or when tired.

Must give that another watch. Absolutely incredible flick.

Edit: actually just ordered the Bluray. Less than a tenner. Can’t wait.

Those Project Zero folks are phenomenal.

Fair play to you. It’s definitely helpful to be selling 32GB that would otherwise just be sitting there. Treat yourself to something nice with the money! :)

I recently got a hand-me-down from my bestie of 4x4GB of DDR4 (along with a 3060ti woop woop!) and I’m really happy with it so yeah, folks definitely still want it.

If you have any trouble with memtest feel free to hit me up. I’m happy to help.

I have one who’s difficult. She’s just turned 16. I’m a very chill parent but sometimes I have to be firm with her. I tell myself I’m trying to raise her to be kind which she struggles with sometimes as she’s very self focused but she’s getting there and I have high hopes she’ll turn out great.

So I suppose the answer to your question from my perspective is just “keep on trucking with the goal in mind”.

I have a lot of kids. Here are my highlights…

I get told many times every day that I’m loved.

I have a box on my bedside locker with all the tiny gifts I’ve been given over the years. It’s over half the surface area of the locker In it go small rocks, sticks, drawings, little notes, flowers (dried), whatever. Anything given unexpectedly and with love. I did put sweets in it for a while but that caused a mess.

All the kids who still live at home are comfortable enough to snuggle in with me on the couch to watch a show or movie. The eldest of those is 19 next week so I really consider that a win.

I get a morning hug every morning from my youngest.

I feel very lucky. Kids have been such a gift to me and I try really hard to be a kind and loving dad.

Oh that’s a great one!

Well, why didn’t you say?

How can I make sure it’s in 100% perfect working condition. ?

Memtest is what you’re after. You need to boot into it from a USB key because you can’t reliably test ram on a running OS.

There’s a commercial version that has a free offering or this open source one which I’ve found excellent.

I’d encourage you to sell it. In these trying times, any extra supply is helpful.

I mean I’d definitely be buying it at knock down prices if it’s as close as it sounds, not that I drink much coke but I can see various own brands running with this.

AMEN! Cannot wait for it to be bright past 4 flippin’ PM.

Yeah nazi Germany was around for 13 years ish. I’m not saying there’s no comparison, I’m just saying there’s no comparison, yet.

Chicken lasagne. Nom nom nom.

I think the pixels themselves are still square, they just get scaled by the player to display, a bit like looking at a 1080p video on a 4k screen.

I remember this being a thing a long long time ago when TV rips were more common and would display janky on playback unless you forced the aspect ratio but I haven’t come across it in forever.

Perfect Days is a beautiful movie.

The second sentence was superfluous.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 👎

I watch videos on my phone but with headphones on. Could be a decent gift to yourself to buy him some. :)

Yeah arcade with a few pints is a winning mix tbh. They have a decent number of arcade machines and about 10 or so pinball machines. Good times!

Ugh. That’s a bummer.

There’s an arcade bar in Dublin city and it’s called “Tokens”. Great place with a great name and it does use tokens. The putting in of the coins is a visceral part of the arcade experience.
