    Effectively, a speedometer is not a 100% accurate instrument. if it read 58 when you were doing 62 the manufacturer would probably be liable for your speeding in a 60 zone.
    If the speedo is accurate +/- 5%, the manufacturer then calibrates it a few percent faster so the minimum reading is then the same as your actual speed.

    So, today there were even more varieties of chewing gum on sale. The funny thing is they are only on sale on the extreme discount shelf which most people don't look at.

    the only way i know of to getting into safe-mode in windows 8 and newer without being able to get into the OS itself is if you have the bootloader menu enabled. as for if you don't have that, well then you're fucked because as far as i can tell microsoft has completley removed any sort of key combination to get into safe-mode, some websites say to try shift+F8, but i've never once had that work on any computer i've tried it on.

    It went to shit a long time ago. I think around the time they changed up the way comments work and added the Google shit. It's just shittier now.

    I'm really not happy to hear that, but I can't help but find myself amused by the fact that you posted your message less than a minute before I got on for the first time today. Any psychics in your family line?

    I'd like to say that I'm not going to make the mistake of servicing my computer at Best Buy again, but the best-reviewed PC clinic within a half-hour's drive just closed down, and the second isn't answering their phones so I can't be too sure they're in business, either. Not that this town is the most tech-savvy or even all that idyllic anyway; we have a drive-through liquor store. Do you think that a technical academy/college would be able to run this thing through their IT department? Because that's about all I've got.

    You can try putting a live copy of Linux onto a USB stick and try to boot from that. If it works then its likely a software issue, if it doesn't its likely hardware. Plus if you have any important files you want to try and get off your computer storage you could use the Linux Live USB in order to copy paste them onto a separate USB stick.

    Yes. As far as I know YouTube is no longer willing to monetize vulgar videos. This is because advertisers do not want their brands being associated with such content and will have likely been putting pressure on YouTube.

    Today i saw new levels of stupidity.
    Girl claims she’ll fail gym because trans students are allowed in the locker rooms
    Some people will always be transphobes or bitch about this stuff. Its unavoidable. But the stupidity here, there are no trans people in the school this girl goes to. She is also claiming that she is being discriminated against, when shes the one that wont use the locker room because trans people can use it.

    She is complaining about something, THAT LITERALLY ISNT HAPPENING IN HER SCHOOL. Then playing the victim card for it. Jeez

    It does kinda make me feel a little sad that this place never got finished.

    The only building that was finished was CIAC (Community in a cube).

    Many of the buildings did look a little tasteless, but it would have been such a cool place to visit.
