I guess that makes sense. But multiple times I have been scolded by strangers for remaining seated during the anthem at ball games. It still offends people all the same.

i really hate seeing the anthem in major sporting events. the nfl only started doing it like almost decade ago and it sucks. they also been promoting the military a lot more and that sucks too.

I think sitting was enough lol. 

idk sitting to me looks more like i was more of a lazy slob than someone refusing to stand up for the pledge lol.

I don't get it. What's the difference? Football players take a knee because they're not in the vicinity of chairs.

I was going to post a spandex pic while I work through this year's Con list but since you want zeni, you can have this

BOOOOO!

you suck!

give me a nice office chair any day. 

i like to put my foot up. 

are you gonna join too? 

netflix has been around forever. i guess you don't remember the days they started out as a rental company where they sent you movies by mail. they moved their company in the right direction by going all digital online. and like gunstar said, those subscriptions add up. 

i use mine when im at the airport and usually see a few people using theirs.

Thanks, I just ordered that guy.

Now hopefully it gets here and I can install it before JWE unlocks next week.

no problem. just let us know how it works out for you when you install the new cpu.

MB is Asus M5A97 (AM3r2), which supports the FX 8350 GPU with BIOS 1006 and up- current BIOS is 0901.

GPU is a GTX 1060.

just looked it up, it does seem like you should be good.

looks like this might be the best processor you can drop on your motherboard

Windows 10 just did an update on my computer a few days ago.
Previously, with my screen saver set to Blank, the screen would go dark, about the color of the top bar when you quote someone here.
After the Windows update, without changing any settings, the Blank screen saver is now a very bright grey.

If I open up my background settings, and search for Screen Saver to change the screen saver, the selected option only opens up the folder for the C: drive. Can only access screen saver settings through the link in the Lock Screen tab.
Once I finally get there, I can confirm my screen saver settings are all the same. Previewing the Blank screen saver sets the screen to the original dark. But if the computer is left idle until the Blank screen saver should kick in, it remains the brighter color.

 

Any idea what Windows broke? And possibly what I might have to break to fix it? Googling was kinda awkward, finding too many results of the "blank screen" variety and not so much anything about screen savers. About all I found was this, and the stupid fuck didn't even follow directions to confirm if it worked.
If that's my solution, is "Uninstall Device" in the Drivers tab what I'm looking for? I updated the drivers on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, Intel HD Graphics 630 says it's up to date, so may need a re-install?

it does seem like the new windows update is fucking shit up. been seeing a lot of that lately. you might be screwed until microsoft fixes it. you could try uninstalling then reinstalling video card drivers for both nvidia and intel. but this time use ddu uninstaller in safe mode. and after you finish uninstalling, install the drivers yourself without letting windows do it for you. it's worth a shot.

Wait, do you mean that if I update my BIOS my video card/usbs will go wonky?

Jesus christ, anxiety rising up in here.

just check and see your motherboard model and see for yourself. usually there might be a support forum somewhere that can answer your question. im really just throwing out things that might happen. im not at all familiar with all the details for your hardware. for all i know you might be good with it.

God damnit.

Spoke with a computer-literate individual yesterday, gave him my specs, he said the new one would work if I did the update.

Now you're telling me I might not be able to that.

You know, when the original JPOG came out in 2001, I was the most excited I had ever been- I had dreamed about creating my own Jurassic Park since I was five years old, and now it was in my hands.

But when I installed it, all I saw was a white screen with some light green boxes on it.

Turns out my video card did not work, and I was unable to play it.

Now I'm having flashbacks and am incredibly sad.

i should be more clear, 

it should work if your motherboard supports the updated bios. sometimes manufacturers dont support this feature sometimes they do. sometimes there might be an unofficial bios mod you can use. 

there will be a few things to look out for, mainly video card and usb comparability. sometimes the newer cards have trouble with the older motherboards. and simple things like usb tend to get really buggy with a different architecture of cpu. thats why i said, the most hassle free way of updating is getting a new motherboard and ram and just use everything else. but you might get lucky and everything could work out perfectly fine. 

i should note that im going from past experience with a different cpu and im not very familiar with these new amd cpus.

sorry for your loss.

Yeah im going to do that here.

Have to update my BIOS to get a new one to work with my motherboard, so that will akso be fun.

just be aware that it might not be that simple of an update and it might cause you some headaches. 

you have to hope your motherboard manufacturer actually supports said upgrade. personally i think it would be much better to get a new motherboard and ram then use everything else you have. though to be honest i haven't really looked too much into this. everything might work good with just a bios update.  

because the pledge sucks just like the anthem.

Maybe they're new atheists? The problem is they're always belittling the other's belief in what is ultimately exactly the same thing. Zealots of a peaceful cause? Hmm.

thats what im saying. they belittle people and offer no real explanation to anything.

So... when it says a game requires at least a 4300...my 956 isn't going to cut it, is it?

Goddamn.

update your cpu sponges.

that shit is old af and will get curb stomped by all the entry level quad cores and even dual cores. 

rip anthony, the man was good. 

i dont mean to make excuses but it was my cousins promotion so i didnt want to make that strong of a statement. 

atheist always seem like they are trying to seem cool or edgy or some way superior.
