Are they a contender with whomever Bradford is replacing? If they figure their collection of players won't be together much longer, they're shooting for the moon.

NO IDEA. :)

Ask if they'll add wing sauce to the red sauce on the pizza. :)

I have so much work that I need to do next week that it's not a purely holiday weekend for me.

Hahaha. I've gotten the opposite take: I cannot start watching this as I do not have time to binge watch anything.

How about Las Vegas Nom Muet for their eventual move to Quebec.

I'd think he's on track to be UFA at 25, he's been pro (in Rochester) since 18. Right?

I'm partial to Wegmans Lump Charcoal, primary because I walk past it at the grocery store. :)

I have to yell at kids to get off my lawn all summer, I'm not sure your anecdote holds up. :) The thing that surprised me the most is they'll be out playing football while the Eagles game is on TV. (Disclaimer: both my neighbors with young kids (5-10 years old) moved away, so the kids are fewer now)

Make sense, thanks. That makes my interest even more irrational as I almost never do long cooks. The only thing I cook that's more than "make it hot" is paella, and that's done with the lid open all the time so I can't imagine it'd matter.

Oh come on, if we're talking about layers the discussion begins and ends with Smith Island cake.

I've been irrationally drawn to that style as well, although I have no idea why. I assume the insulation keeps the interior temperature more stable for long-cooking items? In any case, I'll have to keep an eye out for the propane starter if I ever buy another charcoal grill. I never use mine (a very cheap and basic kettle) because it's not worth the time to light for small family stuff, and I don't have friends.

I'm glad it worked out, that's my go-to for stuff like this. So many issues can be software OR hardware that completely swapping out the software will often start you off in the right direction and it's as easy as plugging in a USB stick to test it (well, after you have the stick created and if your BIOS behaves). As for the video card affecting the system running, devices in the system have hooks that are pretty deep. If could have been crashing the bus (PCI Express, or whatever is current now) and taking everything down, or hold DMA (Direct Memory Access, if that's still a thing) open so the CPU couldn't read the memory, re-writing the wrong parts of memory, etc..

I was thinking about this more, if you're getting the lines on the bios screen, I think we're talking hardware. I'd swap monitors, cables, and inputs, and video card after that. Power supply is a decent idea too, the capacitors in the power supply age over time which (I believe) lowers the output capacity. Installing Flash Player is a great idea too; just make sure it's an older one. The newer eco-friendly versions don't put as much emissions but they're a lot harder to work on. ;)

At least we know she'll drop the gloves.

Likes can be intended in many ways, but none of those can be discerned by anyone other than the person clicking like. People are going to read into it their own way, which may not be at all what the person meant. If you're going to like something that's controversial you better consider the angles if you're worried about your public (or communal) perception. If you want to make a statement, make a statement. If you're using a binary semaphore that's bound to be read the wrong way, you better find a post that says exactly what you want.

Yes and no. Without looking at the posts in this example, I will say that I personally infer that if someone likes something I assume they at least agree with the statement. If someone likes some meme about it wasn't Tom Brady's fault and he shouldn't be suspendded, for example, I infer they support that position (right before I block them).

I think 600MB version gets you a basic system with GUI. 7.2GB must be all the packages (many of which you'll never use) for the base and extras channels. The DVD ISO I have is something like 4GB.

Come to think of it, the CentOS 7 ISO image (another flavor of Linux) has a memory tester as part of the boot menu under troubleshooting. Mint may too, I don't have that ISO handy to look. https://www.centos.org/ As for the CMOS battery, I think it would complain at boot (perhaps something about "using default BIOS settings" or something similar) if that's the case. The default BIOS settings are usually pretty good though, so I'm not sure it'd cause strange reboots once the system was running.

I'd create a Linux boot USB stick (or DVD, if you have a drive) and disconnect the SSD. This will eliminate software and driver corruption and if it boots and works without issue, means the rest of the system should be OK. https://mintguide.org/tools/317-make-a-bootable-flash-drive-from-an-iso-image-on-linux-mint.html

I really don't think offense is purely the domain of millennials.

The kind that are tasked with writing this stuff on a deadline and say, "um, who on the D have I heard of? Bogo, fine. I don't know any of the other guys; question mark!". Let's face it, the writers aren't going through hundreds of hours of game tape to evaluate players and team. They just start throwing around ideas and make up some copy to justify the rankings. That being said, you could call Risto a question mark. Question A: contract? Question B: "sophomore" (I use that very loosely) slump?

And only 13 seasons, he's got years to make up the next two teams. Wow!

The World Cup is like a series of All Star games that kinda matter. The Olympic Tournament is like a series of All-star games (after group play, at least) that mostly matter.

You better not miss Shmelik!
