This undercover warranty investigation is a one-year follow-up from our series that investigated ASUS for motherboards incinerating AMD CPUs, at the end of which ASUS promised a number of improvements to its then-anti-consumer warranty processes. Spoiler alert: They’re still anti-consumer. We sent our ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme...
From what I heard Asrock became a joke quality wise and got the shits about being the lowest quality mainstream manufacturer and did something about it.
Nah, as a dude I always suspected, he had mad peacock energy, fame and a huge ego. Guys like that are so used to women throwing themselves at him they just cant fathom someone being not interested.
My dad really wasnt much of a dad, when my grandmother died and he got left a little money we had a pretty frank conversation “I never expected you to leave me a cent, because I never expected you to have one. So do me a favor, prepay your funeral with some of this money then piss the rest up the wall for all I care. Just dont stick me with a bill when you go.”
Well… I AM the next of kin. Its not like I hate the man, he was just a pretty shitty dad. He has friends and family who would want a funeral to attend. I can legally speaking say “Not my problem” and the government will give him a free cremation and return the ashes to me or my sister but thats it.
Me getting him to prepay it wasnt just a smart investment for me, it also meant that he couldnt kick the bucket at the worst possible time and put me in a position where I had to chose between looking after the best interests of my family and keeping the mortgage paid OR giving him a decent send off. Because honestly, in that spot he would lose.
Selfishly I do hope he doesnt manage to spend it all, but knowing its paid is just something I know I dont need to worry about.b
While I dont necessarily agree, I do agree that petty theft affects regular people all the damn time, you cant do anything about it or you can catch an assault charge, the cops cant or wont do anything about it either so you just have to accept that sometimes people are going to take your shit and nothing is going to happen.
It would be nice to know those people get their comeuppance from time to time.
Breakfast cereal served the standard way, in a bowl with cold milk poured on and eaten with a spoon. Does this count as a soup, why or why not? Defend your answer with logic (or emotion, whatever I’m not your dad)
Theres a classy (well… less sleazy) way to do it. if EA want to make the billboards in the next Need for Speed game real advertisements it wouldnt feel as bad as unskippable 30 second video advertisements before each race.
I don’t use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn’t find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
Dude did a reverse image search, checked out facebook and insta messaged her “Hey my buddy Anon wont shut the fuck up about how amazing you are but doesnt want to ruin the work relationship by asking you out. So please…”
I automatically assume everything from 4chan is total and utter horseshit, but its fun to play along because otherwise what the fuck are we even doing here?
Except that the top of the plate says “Victoria” and its posted to a Melbourne car groups facebook page.
Sovcits arent a big thing here because we are a commonwealth country and most of our old english terms and laws are now just our old terms and laws. The spells dont work.
Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we’re (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald’s, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He’s likely on the spectrum.)
Toddler milk formula. Call it “Milkshake powder” add full cream milk and chocolate syrup. Its a bit of a sugar hit but its an assload of calcium, iron, protein and vitamins.
I’ve been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I’ve been craving it like crazy and realized that it’s straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.
