I love it when I'm the resistance. I hope I get to fly a snow speeder.

Erm, technically that was the Rebels

Potato, potahto.

There's a great nuance between resistance and rebels.

Look it up.

I couldn't explain that without becoming political.

Wasn't it just that the Rebellion was lead by what was left of the Galactic Republic's high ranking members and then the Resistance was just whoever Leia and other surviving members could scrap together to form a militia?

I resist and rebel against Star Wars stuff. It took me 20 years to get around to watching the movies, and they weren't great.

Well, many movies viewed today, 20 years later looks... Primitive. There's some real timeless pearl tho. But Star wars wont ever be one of them.

You are right, the whole series is 13 Books and from 7 the movies lost the story line. And the fans are, Mad. Loll.

But my initial statement about rebel an resistance was more about.

Resistance is something slowing you down, rebels are pushing back.

Whatever story.

When i want resistance i go out and buy a resistor; of course when the china stole only 1/2 the formulae and made a batch of faulty resistors all our electronics stopped resisting.

My last Star Wars or any movie in a theater was what used to be called 2 (Empire Strikes Back) in 1979. I may have a couple late 1s on dvr from Covid time.

I'm still on taxes but frustrated with it & idiotic "worksheets". Our printer wouldn't work today, I tried, husband tried, each of our computers had different "fixes", neither worked. Maybe tomorrow? I just mushed on with the fun I could do. Almost done with feds, state is different in many ways, every year! I can almost hear my friend saying "Turbo Tax!" but the 1 time we had major issues it was more bother than it was worth. I don't like the Q & A format, I like to see what going on. It made me think of how AI can be now...not a fan

I enjoyed Star Wars but, if I had to pick one, Star Trek would win out. I have all of both but haven't watched a Star Wars movie in years. I even have all the original Star Trek episodes on one of my media hard drives... but then I also have all the Star Wars movies... just never watch. My favorite Star Trek movie is probably the fourth, 'Voyage Home' with the whales. I just liked the humor.

As to filing taxes I haven't filed a Federal return since 1987. Due to a military disability status thing I am exempt from Federal income tax.

As to your printer there are many possibilities but one that often happens is that there usually several printer options, depending on installed software, and many are not even actually your printer. When you try printing make sure that the print output is your actual physical printer. Even with that you are likely to see multiple choices for your printer but only one should show as 'Ready' or 'On-line', select that one. Feel free to message me if you want to troubleshoot...

I wonder if new aquarists wandering into a technical thread about water view it as many view the gamer computer discussion? I've never been caught by gaming - and yeah, that's generational. Well, not never, I did play a mean Space Invaders and a solid Galaxian back in the day. But clearly, I've never needed to have those tools.

I have a fishroom project to sort out - the kind only people with multiple tanks have to be worried about. I have a few underpopulated and fishless tanks, just in the run of things as fish grow, get moved, get auctioned etc. I have a friend coming to stay for a visit in the summer, a person who is in the centre of the European Cichlid world. If all goes well, he's bringing me at least 3 species, two of them dwarfs, that probably aren't being kept in the North American hobby. He may bring more.

That's a little under 4 months away, and a lot can happen. The tanks aren't heated, and won't be for the fish so far, as they are Gabonese and fish from that equatorial country have the quirk of liking cooler water, around 20-22. I guess the best strategy is to move Corydoras group fish into those tanks to keep the cycles alive, and yet still be able to move them out. I like to keep my tanks geographic, but there will be some temporary inter continental mixes there.

The old line that I can resist anything but temptation is a true one, and I have to be disciplined and not buy the next cool weirdity I see. 4 months is a long time, and it's no time at all.

I've never seen such a chunky and long video card before The metal strip above it in the box is the sag bracket! Touching just under 40cm long! Will have to do a DDU before installing as well. I measured it up to my case and it has about 2-3cm of clearance from the front panel fans.

Yea that and power consumption was the reason i went with the 4070; iti is all about compromise. A long time ago when the 1070 came out i passed on it because it was too long but then they introduced a mini-1070 that was 1/2 the size which was pretty impressive. A few nucc like boxes even used the chip. Prior to that i mostly used ati cards - you all remember ati

I was hopeful the newest amd cards would use less power and therefore be smaller but alas it didn't turn out that way. And the 5 series is ai junk. Never in a million years - anything that sticks on the label ai is just marketing hokey pokey. ai is unfortunately about to ruin a bunch of people lives because they actually think it is intelligent when it is as dumb (or corrupt) as the person loading the knowledge base. You know the old saying garbage in garbage out
