Same here in Canada. I think its legitimate learners. Not sure why you think age has anything to do with it, theres no max age to learn to drive. Hell, my late grandma didn’t get her licence/learners permit until she was in her 60s.

Could be related to an influx of immigrations as well, plenty of people didn’t have the luxury to get a drivers licence or own a vehicle.

That or people are just too lazy to remove them haha.

Its on the opposite side of the room, roughly 10-12feet away. Good suggestion however!

Yep, one in the utility room by the furnace, one in the upstairs front door closet beside the kitchen, and one in the garage. Haven’t had to use them for myself personally… but the neighbours came slamming on the door a few times needing one.

IMO every residence should have one handy. Never know what could happen or who might need one. I really should get one thats rated for electrical fires however.

Let’s be real bud, there’d be a Tims on each side of the bridge, and ones always outta chocolate timbits.

Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

1. They whom smeltith, Dealtith.

Twice a day normally. 1 morning, 1 after work if im dirty, sweaty or stinky.

Sweet, thanks chief.

More content around individual games so there feels like more of a community here. Some times its like talking into the void.

Less political respost spam from multiple bots to multiple communities at the same time. Just gets anoying to filter out after a while.

I enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.

OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you’re interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.

PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.

When i started (20 years ago), my parents just rented a set for the first little while to see of i would stick to it, i reccomend going this route.

I also reccomend a full size kit, be it electric or acoustic vs. Just getting a simple drum pad. The feeling of a full sized kit is vastly different in my opinion.

Electric: Can be loud or can be silent to the environment around you. Light weight. Customizable digital options for sound. Can usally find a kit the is of defent quality for a decent price.

Acoustic: no volume nob and no headphone output, so consider your playing environment. Feels different than electric, hitting skins and bare metal just feels better to me in general. Looks sexy AF. Decent kits are not cheap, and cheap bad kits sound like cheap bad kits.

Hi-hat, kick drum, snare, crash and/or ride cymbal, floor tom and 1 or 2x tom-toms would be my reccomendation. Electric you will have a wider selection of sounds, seeing you can usually program them for different usage.

Edit: just wanted to add, a drum pad is still a starting point, so if thats your best option go for it! Hell, even some different sized plastic buckets is a start worth pursuing.

Right around the time the the former EA CEO moved to being the Unity CEO.

Same dude that thought they should charge players money for ammo in micro-transaction format.

Dudes a shit lord.

Todd Just had to toggle the “make game run good” button, massive over sight to be honest.

Yep i can. 30 Male Canada. Grew up in the praries just outside a small town. All we had for fun growing up besides games was old cars and dirtbikes. Currently drive a automatic however.

Theres a few:

• yeah, don’t buy PC parts and wow gold with those bitcoins you will mine in 2011…

• watch out for the fallen tree at the bottom of the hill on the bike path, your breaks don’t work very well.

• some older kid will decide to bully you, but dont let it bother you so much. Loser ends up unaliving himself via drunk driving into a wall later on.

• oh also don’t take your ps1 and gamecube collection to EB games for trade in, you only get 3 xbox 360 games out of the deal and will regret it.

Cat starring out window: " LOOK HOOMAN THERES BIRDS!"

Cat runs to back door: “lemme out, lemme out, lemme out”

lets cat outside, car vrooms past 20 seconds later

Scaredy cat gets spooked by car: “Lemme in, lemme in, lemme in”

cat proceeds to explain what i assume is a tall tale of heroics, birds, and loud mechanical beasts he defended the hoomans from

Repeat above a few times a day.

Id personally ditch the 4 dimm memory setup seeing your mobo is only dual channel, and you risk stressing your IMC, which may hinder performance and possible lead to advertised clock speeds being not stable. Id go with dual sticks with a lower CL and latancy at roughly 6000mhz-6200mhz advertised speeds.

But likely wouldn’t be too much of an issue with 4 dimms in duel channel at 5600mhz, seeing thats at the mid-lower end of the performance charts of DDR5.

Few things to check:

• make sure all wires are secure and snuggly attached to everything. Including the rest/power button switches, PCIe devices, sata devices, etc.

• double check temps before crash to see if theres any issues while idle or under load there.

• check and possibly post your windows logs and event viewer logs to look for possible issues leading up to right before the power fail events.

• do you have any overclocks applied? (Including xmp/amp) if so set your motherboard back to defaults and test again.

• make sure BIOS firmware is up to date (might as well make sure all your other drivers are up to date as well).

• try each ram dimm one at a time in both primary slots, this may help determine a dimm issue.

Borrow or using another power supply would be the best way to full confirm or deny the issue being a power supply failure. When a computer just instantly powers off like that its usually either a power failure or some kind of critical harware failure hitting a failsafe and shutting down. Normally this issue points to motherboard or psu issues in my experience.
