Sorry to be that guy but an xray won't show much compared to something like an mri. Get a second opinion and have them do something other then an xray.

The absolute crap interfaces that are being developed for electronic devices. There’s no reason for them to be as bad as they are at this point. They were getting better and better going from say 1996 until about 2005. After that they just started dropping off fast. The last few years they’re just atrocious. And there is just no excuse. I know it annoys people when I say it, but as far as I’m concerned, the people who develop these interfaces, when they get up in the morning, they do lines of crack until their brains just about explode. Then they go to work and say this would be a cool idea even though the rest of the world looks at and goes. What the hell?

There’s no logic in the interface no common sense that you can use to use them.

And the target/hit boxes are becoming so small if you have any sort of muscular issue good luck on ever using it.

The developers, the executives the companies do not give a crap. Their attitude is if you don’t like it just buy something else. The problem : that’s the way it’s all being designed so you literally have nothing else to buy.

Then you have the consumers , their attitude is basically you have a choice. You don’t have to buy it. Which is a completely moronic statement.

My response is basically I’ve stopped buying things. Unless I absolutely have no other choice I just make do with what I have and the world go screw itself.

I watched my mom try to tap an icon on the screen seven separate times before it would actually activate. think about that , seven times just to activate whatever she was trying to touch. That’s stupid. So I literally knelt down right next to the table and watched herfinger very carefully, hit the screen and come up. The problem was her finger was moving by just a few pixels. So it was counted as a drag. Who the fuck thought that would be a idea? I mean, I could understand if you touch and drag, like a distance on the screen OK well that’s dragging. But that incredibly tiny amount? What jackass thought this was a good idea.? If your finger so much is twitches, it won’t count it as touch. It’ll count it as a drag and it won’t activate.

Oh no they shot down 7 drones. And how many things did the houthies lose? By things I mean vehicles, small arms, buildings. And I mean by going back over several months.

So many claim to have a hypersonic missile. They pretty much are full of shit.

Not sure why that people do it, and yes it is annoying.

Here’s what I did. I got an external USB drive and I installed Linux mint on it. That way the windows drive inside the computer was left alone. Worst case scenario I just reboot the computer go back to windows. I was I was up and running.

Once I had Linux Installed on the external drive, I then installed steam on the external drive.

I play Guild wars 2. I did not buy the game through steam. I bought it directly from the maker of the game. So what I did was, I went Guild wars two website. Downloaded the executable, which is obviously Windows executable to my Linux computer. And told Steam to run it as a non-steam game. I just had to make sure I went into the settings for steam and turn the compatibility for the game on. Once the game was installed into Linux . I then just ran the game under steam in Linux no big deal. Works flawlessly.

I had to copy all of my music MP3 files over to Linux, That’s not hard to do.

Linux meant as others have said is very friendly for new users. It’s basically plug-in play. I have a printer made by brother that worked out ofthe box. The only thing I’ve never been able to get to work on that printer is on the physical printer itself there is a button called scan. It doesn’t work under Linux for me. I even went through the brother company to get tech-support. They said the drivers are installed and everything is set up correctly, but the button still doesn’t work. They say it’s something to do with my firewall, but I’ve pretty much given up on that.

I ran it that way for better part of seven months. Seven months being from when I first install Lennox to the external drive to now. Over the weekend I actually formatted the drive on the inside the computer and just installed Linux there.

You see the problem running on an external drive is it runs slow as hell. I mean to bring up a web browser. Can take you a minute and half. But I did it that way just so I could test Linux without destroying the windows install in case I did something wrong. But everything works fine. I can do what I want so there is no point in running on the slower system.

Linux mint has a package manager, Think of it like add remove programs. Only this package Manager has a ton of programs that you can add to the system. It goes out to the Internet and find these programsand then categorize them under games, music graphics, etc. And all you have to do is just click on the program then click install and it just takes care of it.

Strongly recommend trying mint as your first step into Linux.

Not aware of any terms that says you can't state an age.

Ex I'm over 50 but somewhere under 55 but I don't say for personal reasons. Not that any rule says I can't.

He asked an honest question and you basically failed to answer. So he guessed.

It's another way of saying

Put your phone down for a while and go touch grass. Go do something. Experience life.

US. About $35/ month

Text calling, and unlimited data

Honest question since it is a new trial, can they introduce new witnesses and new allegations? And if they can wouldn’t this also mean that he face even more penalties?

I only ask the honest question because I literally have no idea how a “new trial” gets handled.

Damn I honestly can’t tell if it’s a fake job posting or if some company is actually doing that. Well played

Look at the number of up vs down votes. That should tell you where the thoughts are of others. Have a nice day.

Instructions very clear. Stocking up on empty plastic bottles.

“Not obligated”. Tell that to the teen who wants to live their life but is stuck home every Friday night to watch their siblings.

Can they help once in a while ,yes.

But too many parents become seriously self entitled, and before anyone claims I’m not that old, so how would I know? I’m over 50. Fair amount of experience with entitled people.

And not calling it baby sitting and trying to call it “taking care of the sibling” is just splitting hairs.

Not sure why you are getting down voted. You have a point

Death doesn't mean killing. You can die by an accident (falling off a ladder). You can die from a heart attack. Death just means dying.

And how many died under Stalin? How many have died under Chinese rule?

The way it's worded. It's both

Same for me
