Save them and ferment then into wine.

Lol... it's not just veggie bros, just a lot of normal folk with more than just a few brain cells kicking around.

(I would like a really good argument to going complete vegan, rather than vegetarian though) Are the hens harmed by the eggs they lay?

If you don't have some complete moral issue against eating meat, the most rational choice is to eat much less meat. That causes the maximum discomfort to the industry, while the least discomfort to the individual.

I love eating beef and whatnot, but my body seems to respond better to eating less of that in a given sitting. As someone growing up in the 80s, it seemed like that diet should be a 50/50 mix of beef and spinach...

I think they are going to have a hard time convincing people to feel crummier... it's much healthier and cheaper to stick to that old "pack of playing card portion"

Dogs just love people. If some rich asshole has the money to spoil their dog... the dog ain't going to care what wages their current care taker is being paid. I fail to see how this is a negative for the dogs life, on average a dogs life will be significantly worse in the hands of someone with much less money.

What percentage of illicit imports is this bust? Does it even make a dent? Not to sound like a party pooper... but why do we even still care about this?

Why not just rotate the judges out periodically from court below?

Depends if you want your cat to get chronic kidney disease and or diabetes. If you don't care about that, then dry food is exceptionally inexpensive... Although if you end up caring about them in the end, the special food you will need once they have kidney problems will far out way the savings.

Cats should be eating almost all wet food.

Took me a long time to realize it wasn't slut life.

I think the roads would be safer everybody drove a manual. It makes it harder for drivers to do other things and be distracted.

How does it make dosing tricky? Just give everybody a mega dose... what's the worst that can happen, they die before you kill them?

And clothes are restrictive anyway

Right. It's about whether they will take the 20 minute plus detour to go to the polls or not.

 

I was wondering if deaf people commonly watch movies or TV with the sound on to feel the sound/music? Or is there not a sense of enjoyment if it can't be heard?

 

Google and various websites says 28g of pecans is between 185 and 195 calories, how in the world are praline pecans much less calories?

 

I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

 

[Resolved!]

I traded my cousin some really expensive RAM that I happened accross for his old desktop, that he put his graphics card into that he swapped from his newer computer. If I plug the desktop into the wall and try to turn it on nothing happens. If I open it up I can see that the where the wire from the power supply plugs into the graphics card there Is a little light on. So clearly some power is getting somewhere...

How do I go about trouble shooting this, and what tools do I need? I assume at minimum a multi meter? Not really sure what to do, it's been decades the last time I built a computer.

Board says "Asrock H110M-HDS"

Edit: Attached a Pic and noticed the light is actually on the graphics card, not motherboard. Added addtl info.

Update: So now all of the sudden the fan spins. I am at a loss as to why it spins now, as I haven't actually really done anything. I ordered a speaker for the mobo, so waiting for that.

Final update: It works! I apparently had either a bad monitor or bad display port cable. But using another monitor with DVI I was able to finally get it to fully boot!

I am not sure what got the fans to eventually work, maybe just a cable was jostled.

I really appreciate all the advice! I definitely know a lot more and feel better equipped to do things with it now.

Looking for friends to add who use a mic. Sick of playing solo or getting teamed up with people who can't or won't talk.

If this belongs elsewhere, let me know where to post.

I know Congress needs to be involved to actually declare war, but there have been a number of times where something was kicked off by presidential authority alone.

If Biden wanted to, could he start a conflict against Russia without congressional approval. If not, what approval would he need? If so, what would be the theoretical limitations to his power and military authority?

I am already assuming people would want some definition of what "conflict" would mean in this hypothetical scenario. So let's say it means Biden authorized US troops at the Ukrainian border and had them launching shells into Russia.

 

Let's say I hypothetically had some mice pee in some plastic components that cannot be properly cleaned in any realistic way. Is it possible to heat it up to "cook off" the mouse pee nastiness without actually melting the plastic?
