Be very careful messing with BIOS if you do not understand the processes available to you .. very important to be careful if your system isn't booting properly. Risking a new MB if it screws up during the update.
2010 VW Jetta TDI (142,000 miles) 49 mpg Diesel, Turbocharged 4-cyl
2011 Kia Sorrento (49,000 miles) 24 mpg Gas, 6-cyl
2016 RAM Rebel (47,500 miles) 17 mpg Gas, 5.7 Hemi

3 Vehicles that run great and no payments for about 7 years now is very nice.
I'd wear just about anything LSU related to my work in Alabama .. definitely would wear everything BootUp!!

Check for a setting on the TV itself .. called .. "Bandwidth Saver". If you have that setting .. turn it to "off".

Reset your network connection .. "on the TV itself".

Also, make sure to do a system update if you have not .. once again .. "on the TV itself".

You could do that, but it would only cost you more money .. and prevent you from filing any potential claim in the future.

How it would cost you more: (Assume 25k Total Claim)

Total claim amount is offset by your deductible. ($5,000)

Initial paid claim amount is also minus depreciation. $20,000 remains after your deductible is accounted for. Now, remove another $5,000 for depreciation. Your initial claim check is $15,000.

Following repairs your contractor will send in paperwork and pictures of the finished product. This will release the depreciation amount ($5,000). So your claim payments are now $20,000.

If you do not have the work done .. you only miss out on your depreciation .. since you would not have paid your deductible money.

If you get half-assed repairs .. or partial repairs .. you may not get the depreciation back .. and now your out of pocket is $5,000 for your deductible + $5,000 you lost to depreciation. ($10,000)

Now comes the good part. If you chose to not do all the repairs so you could pocket money .. when you have another real issue with the same property .. you won't be getting anything to help.

Moral of the story .. pay your deductible, get the repairs done, get your depreciation .. and if there are costs above what was paid out .. your contractor can send additional expense paperwork to your insurance company.

You chose that high arse deductible .. eat it.
I actually like the energy he brings to Gameday. Not afraid to say what he thinks.

Most hate him for being different, yet complain about the normal ones sticking to the EPSN narrative.

You can't have it both ways. Sit back and enjoy the change of pace. I find it entertaining.

That being said .. Geaux LSU, RTFU!!

Right click the taskbar. Click taskbar settings. From there you should be able to adjust most things back to like they were .. unless your IT department locked those settings.

Trolls do what they do .. troll.

Instead of letting them troll without response .. too many take the bait and end up in a message board pissing match for 50 pages.

Simply enjoy the meaningful posts and ignore the trolls.

Try actually enjoying the game and the site instead of bashing each other.

:geauxtigers:

Edited to add: This board seriously needs an "ignore" funtion. :pimp:

No wonder we have a mental health crisis in this country and people are tired and miserable.. 3am isnt a wake-up time , it is a bedtime .


Where, in what I wrote, did I say anything about being tired or miserable?

Everyone is different, whether due to work, habit, babies, dogs, or other.

I wake at 3am, out the door for work by 4:30am, back home usually by 4:30pm, and in bed by 8:30 pm. It is my routine.

Benefit is I only work Mon - Thurs and have a 3-day weekend every weekend. I sleep in on those days, but
sleeping in for me is about 5 - 5:30am.

I am perfectly fine with my routine. Whatever routine other people have, makes no difference to me.
Complete opposite here.

I wake at 3am to get ready for work and our pups look at me like WTF are you doing. Then, once I get out of bed, they take my spot and go back to sleep. :lol:

They have free reign of the backyard (doggie door), so they go out when they want and never have to wake anyone to go out.

Nice of you to think you know, but your intuition could not be more incorrect. Carry on.

This is simple. If 95%+ of your job requires you to use a computer or a computer is the best method of completing the work, then there is no fricking reason to drive into an office and sit around a bunch of other people on computers.


Simple enough that .. if you don't have to come into work to do your job .. they can / and will find someone else that won't show up and do the same job .. for less pay .. to do the same work you do. It's called outsourcing.

People don't realize that they are most definitely replaceable and there are a lot of people out there that would gladly do the job for less. Moreso when they complain publicly about the company that pays them. When all the company wants is for the people they hired to do the job.

LSU vs Notre Dame has been done. Don't care for the "BK vs Freeman" debate.

LSU / Michigan have never played each other in football. That's the one I would like to see.

Shouldn't be too hard to find as it has an electrical wire running into it. The switch controls when the pulley clutch engages to actually turn the compressor. Changing the switch is easy (on most models). They are self sealing, so no messing with refrigerant. Simpley unplug the electrical connector, replace the switch, plug in the new one.

Just read back in the post .. glad it was the switch .. cheap to replace. :nana:
