When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Devour a good book.


Is the thread about building computers good for suggesting replacement parts as well as getting parts for an entirely new build? The power supply (at least, I hope it's just the power supply) went out on my desktop and all I need is something that'll work for a computer I put together 7 years ago until I can start buying parts for a new one bit by bit.

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.
I would basically start parting out the new computer, buy the psu first, and use it in the old one as long as it provides adequate power. Buying a really low-grade filler one for the current computer would almost certainly just be a waste of money.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want to do?

I was hoping to just buy a cheap filler one to tide me over, but replacing with a good one's probably the better option. If the price difference isn't huge I'll get a better one.

So I work at a cafe making burgers, salads and sandwiches. Pretty decent stuff, largely prepared from the ground up (we make our own beef patties, mayonnaise and so on) and presented very nicely. Definitely not a fast food joint.

What should I put as my job title on my CV/resume? Despite working alone in the kitchen, I'm pretty sure "cook" or "chef" is an exaggeration, since I don't have any education or background in cooking, nor do I decide what goes on the menu.

Call yourself a cook, call yourself a chef if you had a management position.

Always always buy the best power supply you can because if that fails (or blows up) it will take the rest of your system with it.
Check the PC building thread for current recommendations because not all PSU's are created equal.

I forgot to mention: The jellyfish is a pc speaker system with a 3.5 jack. I assume I'm gonna need some kind of cables to connect it all but want to make sure I do not need any more hardware.

Yeah, you should be good for hardware. All you'll need is an RCA-1/8" TRS cable, which is one of the few things you should be able to still get at Radio Shack.

edit: assuming that isn't the USB version of those speakers

I always use Windows Media Player, but subtitles seem really finicky. Can you download subtitles for videos or does it have to come with the video? Also, is there a program that does this better than WMP?

Pretty much any program is better than WMP, but best ones to try are VLC, Media Player Classic, and GOM, in roughly that order.

VLC is great because (1) yes, you can play external subtitle files and (2) you can adjust in 50 millisecond increments the sync time. So if they appear too soon, just hit H (or J?) a couple times.

VLC is the best. I work in IT, and install it on our office computers because I almost never have to worry about video codecs or anything like that, and it's resource-efficient as hell. Been using it for years without a problem.

This, this a hundred times this. But there's an updated version on greasyfork that fixes whatever the hell changed on youtube's end a few weeks ago.

Greasemonkey is the greatest thing to happen to web browsers since the introduction of tabs -- you get to customize how various web pages look and act. Fix your pet peeves, put in new functions. There are already a billion useful scripts out there, and it's not too hard to figure out how to write your own. Firefox users, you'll have to install the Greasemonkey add-on first, but I think Chrome supports greasemonkey scripts natively now, so go nuts.

1. My wife just got a new moto g to replace her old galaxy blaze, and the tmobile sim card was too big so we had to have tmobile send us a new micro sim card. What is the best and easiest way to transfer her tmobile contacts to the new phone? Will hitting the "merge with google" under contacts tranfer all her tmobile contacts to google contacts?

2. My contacts are just a total mess. They are a bunch of google and google+ contacts, many with several entries for one name. Is there any kind of app or program I can use to help me clean these up?

On 1, it's hard to say; I've found that Google has some weird behaviors when it comes to contacts.

On 2, if you go into your Gmail contacts, under "more" there's a "Merge" command. Is that what you're looking for?

1.) There's no telling how Samsung screwed with contact handling on their device. I'd try the "merge with google" button. Then go to google.com/contacts from a computer and see if the contacts show up there. That's what the Moto G (a good device) will use.

2.) They're easy to clean up at the same google.com/contacts page.
