  • What can I do with an old Compaq PC other than recycle it?

  • Depending on the thrift store, they may not want it unless it has an OS. The ones in my area won't take computers that won't boot up into something. (They're not at all tech literate and will just toss them.)

    I snagged a perfectly good laptop out of their dumpster for that reason... just had to toss an OS on it and it ran for years.

  • And they will know what you look like. And with some data extrapolation where you are, where you go, your searches, what you're into, your payment methods, where you live, your schedule, who you interact with, and the list goes on.

    This is one more data point for big brother to collect and share with the highest bidder, or to get leaked to people who do not have your best interests in mind.

  • What movie(s) did you watch 10+ times and offered something new with each view?

  • When I was a teen I loved all their stuff, including the shows... but I get what you mean. Numerous times I've tried introducing it to friends only to be met with blank stares because they didn't quite understand the comedy of it. Sucks to be them.

  • I've watched that probably a dozen times just for my favorite part... "Alright, I AM the messiah..."

  • Any people here orphaned with living parents? what did your life turn out like? What were some of the stuggles, or some of the positives?

    Jump

  • That was my thing too. I vowed to myself to be there for my kids and not be like my father. My oldest daughter has Cerebral Palsy and still lives with me, and that helped me focus a lot on the more important things. She is doing well (it's a milder form of palsy) and has a job she loves. My other daughter bought her own house nearby a few years ago, so I also help her taking care of the place which gives me lots to do. I'm in my 50's now and have some health problems from all the stupid crap I did when I was younger (turns out we're not indestructible like we thought when we were young) but we're all happy, comfy and safe and that's what matters the most.

  • I guess it turned out ok. My parents were never married and because of my dad's temper I lived with my grandmother until grade school when she died. I then lived with my real parents for two years, and then with my mother and her new bf for a few more before I ended up in foster care at the start of grade 6. ( I had run away from home and was living on the streets when Child and Family services picked me up.)

    By grade 12 I had been in 10 different schools and 6 different foster homes, so I learned to not trust people much. I was a hyperactive kid (now they say I have ADHD but in the 80's I was just "hyper") and got in a lot of trouble over the years. One of my foster parents ended up having a nervous breakdown, I ended up in a youth jail, and was living on my own at 17. Later ended up in a provincial jail for getting mad and putting a cop in the hospital.

    But then came my daughters, the first of which was born in 93. It settled me down a lot and made me start caring about things, and helped me focus on being less destructive. If it wasn't for them, I'd probably either be in jail or dead.

    I wouldn't change any of it though. It was chaotic but fun overall and I learned a lot over the years.

  • I'm about 80 miles from where I was hatched. Moved away when I had kids because I didn't want to raise them in Winnipeg (Canada) because.. well.. Winnipeg.

    It'll always be my home town, but I now live in an area with a population density of 7 ppl per square mile, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. (The loudest things out here are the birds, and it's nice and peaceful.)

  • computers are like a decade old

    I feel called out lol! To be fair, I've wanted to upgrade for quite awhile, but most of my spare money has been going to vet bills for stray cats, which is a little more important to me than upgrading my pc.

  • For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?

  • I'd dump them too

  • All I know is if my house were to ever catch fire, the first thing I'd be doing is busting a window and tossing my cats out of the house. Then maybe my stereo... time permitting.
