  • Imagine if a private citizen tried to pull this stunt.

  • It seems as though Planet Y is an alternate theory to Planet X, which are both hypothetical 9th planets. The headline makes it sound like they theorize 10 planets already.

  • You seem to know this person's activities, are they related to you, or someone you consider a friend? If so, maybe a more delicate approach would work better, but I don't have advice for that. It seems to me this kind of person would laugh it off and continue, or get mad at you for calling them out and it would just become a wedge between you.

    If you don't know this person, the old adage stands: don't feed the trolls. If they're breaking rules, report them. Block them, and maybe take a step back from that kind of social media, to reevaluate what you're trying to get out of it. If you're following this person around, just to be angry or judgemental, that isn't healthy for you nor helpful to anyone. You're just another viewer or comment to the algorithm.

  • While the Egyptian Eye of Horus is a similar symbol of protection and good health and luck, the Greek evil eye talisman specifically protects against malevolent gazes.

    Yeah, weird they didn't put it in the section where they mention the Eye of Horus (Protective talismans and cures).

  • Yes, there may be some digital effects, but the instrument and tuning have been around longer than the United States.

  • Lol, well one is between the kitchen appliances and the bakery, so it's almost a platform 9 3/4 situation. You could easily assume it's another aisle of drip coffee machines and cake pans. In another store, it's with the gluten-free food and protein shakes. We have a whole aisle for tea and coffee, but the grinder you described wouldn't be there.

  • My grocery stores have them with the bulk coffee, nuts, and candy section. I think they have two spouts in case you want them whole or ground. Maybe you're in the wrong aisle? They also grind fresh nut butter, so not just coffee, either.

  • ...and it's not to make money.

    Then why have adverts? Why not just a button on a timer? Don't delude yourself.

  • I'm a little surprised ~7-hours round trip is considered long distance.

  • I'd agree "evil" might be hyperbolic, but it's not like Legos are made out of bamboo or aluminum, either.

  • To be fair? Yes, let's be fair and let the article spout... whatever, I didn't pay for it.

    A child playing a game is still experiencing the real world. There are important distinctions between games and reality, but this has to do with the platform. I don't know how far these vigilantes "go after" their suspects or how they verify their information points to the correct individual, so I cannot defend them; but to say that real people interacting through a game is somehow lesser than being in person diminishes the problem. It's the same problem Yahoo chat rooms dealt with in 2005. For the platform, or the FBI, or any other government agency to focus on the vigilantes instead of the paedophiles speaks volumes on its own.

  • Maybe I can give you confidence. Batteries, RAM upgrades, and heatsink swaps are great starting points for anyone.

    1. Remove the back panel - if the screws come out of the cover, put them in a cup or on a piece of tape and watch for longer screws and remember where they go. If they don't come out, still try not to turn that piece over as captive screws aren't always held in well
    2. Ground yourself by touching a hinge, or attaching your ESD wrist-band there - only to the metal
    3. Disconnect the battery
    4. Trace old fan cable and unplug it from the main board
    5. Unscrew the 3 or 4 larger screws with tension springs around the outside of the heatsink and remove it (a little slowly, some thermal paste dries more and makes this difficult)
    6. Wipe off old thermal paste with alcohol wipes and let dry
    7. Peel plastic off new thermal pads and place them (or apply a thin spiral of paste) on each silver cap of your CPU
    8. Center the new fan over the CPU and check your wire isn't underneath or in the way of a screw
    9. Screw the heatsink down and reconnect your fan
    10. Reconnect the battery
    11. Test
    12. Put cover back on

    The main things are grounding yourself, not touching anything you aren't working on, the battery (disconnect first, reconnect last), the plastic wrapping on thermal pads, the fan wire (just pay attention to it), and testing first. The computer will check the fan as soon as it starts, and they are usually set to shut down if overheating.

    You'll spend less time than I took writing this, probably. Good luck
