  • What's your opinion on prostitution?

    Jump

  • Looking at the pros and the cons, it must be the opposite of CONstitution.

    ...I'll see myself out.

  • I think I ruined my life

    Jump

  • What you did was a mistake.

    • You are not stupid. You are not crazy. You did something you wish you could change and are blaming yourself.
    • You have not ruined your life, but if you let this hang over your head, it will ruin things until you forgive yourself and move on.
    • If you can make things right (apologizing, asking for a second chance, etc.), do it. If you can't get things right, then accept that you can't fix the past, but you can fix today and the future by learning from your mistakes.
    • You're not going to find another person like him. Just like YOU, he's one of a kind. That does NOT mean there aren't others you can have a happy relationship with. That also doesn't mean there could be someone better out there who could make you happier. But if you wallow in self-pity, you might miss out on finding that person.

  • Students using “humanizer” programs to beat accusations of cheating with AI

    Jump

  • “Students now are trying to prove that they’re human, even though they might have never touched AI ever,” said Erin Ramirez, an associate professor of education at California State University, Monterey Bay. “So where are we? We’re just in a spiral that will never end.”

    Yep. You're guilty until proven innocent.

  • Question regarding power supply

    Jump

  • If you look in the upper left corner of that sticker you posted an image of, it says Model L300NM-01.

    The Dell 300NM-01 (also listed as B300NM-01 or L300NM-01) is a 300-watt power supply unit (PSU) designed for various Dell desktop models, particularly in mini-tower (MT) form factors. If you haven't added any hardware, it's probably OK.

    Here is a link to that PS on Amazon.

    https://www.amazon.com/L300NM-01-PS-6301-06D-Replacement-Supply-H300NM-00/dp/B09JG2JDHM

    I found it by searching amazon for Dell 300NM-01.

    If you think I am up to something, search amazon for that.

    If you have added more hardware or changed existing hardware (hard drives, DVDs, etc.)

    you should use a power supply calculator to see how much power you need

    Choose from any of these:

    https://www.coolermaster.com/en-us/power-supply-calculator/

    https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator

    Or any others you find online.

    Here is the manual for your machine:

  • What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

    Jump

  • Using a card catalog at the library to look up books.

  • What’s a cheap purchase that’s completely changed your life?

  • Knee pillow. I'm a side sleeper and my hips began to hurt. It was about $10. It's amazing to think how much a little knee separation can relieve your hips and lower back.

  • Wealth, status, pride,

    are their own ruin.

    later

    Racing, chasing, hunting,

    drives people crazy.

    Trying to get rich

    ties people in knots.

    and

    True leaders

    are hardly known to their followers.

    Next after them are the leaders

    the people know and admire;

    after them, those they fear;
