Don't even need a machinist. Or skill. You just need to see what little bit of metal stops the sear is there and take a file to it until the sear isn't stopped when the trigger is held down.

Paper Carriage: Out of paper. Load Letter Size/A4 paper.

PC: LOAD LETTER

You know what would make more sense?

NO PAPER

Fuck printers.

I would like to point out that actors are usually contractually obligated to maintain a specific appearance. Stamos may literally have not been able to shave his head in solidarity, so while seemingly noncommittal I think there could be more to the gesture. As you say, Dave is the only authority on the matter either way.

Oooo, this one actually happened to me. Head on collision with a barrier at 80mph, fell asleep at the wheel after getting out of a 27 day stint in the ICU. Dare To Be Stupid by Weird Al was playing when i collided.

Yeah, I haven't ever met a speedrunner that hadn't played the game casually at least a few times. Just because its a running joke that speedrunners don't care about the story because of the effort taken to skip it to save time doesn't mean speedrunners literally don't care about it. Kingdom Hearts speedrunners are the only ones I have met that can hash out the entirety of that convoluted mess.

That's an insulting way to haggle though. If $40 is a slightly below fair price and $45 is agreeable to both then that's both a simple and pleasant transaction. Offering to haggle then refusing to haggle by doing that is insulting the same way as severely low balling.

It's not even being able to use them, anyone has the right to travel on foot or by non-motorized bike. It's specifically driving heavy machinery that can tear up the roads or injure someone you need a license for (ie, a car). Though even then, there are still rules to follow as a pedestrian.

Explaining it is a multi page response, you have the ability to go to Wikipedia or Google and figure it out yourself. They told you what to research, so don't be the laziest Internet user and read up on it yourself.

You seriously underestimate the stupidity of 80% of windows users. They could put multiple warnings and people would still click past them without reading then bitch to their IT team when they break something.

It's more of an operating cost issue. It's almost decade-old hardware. It was efficient in its day, but compared to new hardware it just costs so much to run you would be better served investing in something with modern efficiency. It won't be junked, it will be parted out. If you are someone that wants a cheap homelab with infiniband and shitloads of memory you could pick up a blade for a fraction of what it would otherwise cost. I fully expect it to turn into thousands of reasonably powerful servers for the prosumer and nerd markets instead of running as a monolithic cluster.

Hey, I have worked on this exact machine before, neat to see they are finally decommissioning it. It would be a terrible purchase to actually use these days though, for the cost of moving and deploying it you could rock a few Hopper or Grace clusters that would outperform the cluster for less than half of the operating overhead.

I fully expect it to get parted out, the actual components would be far more useful on their own as cheap homelab systems, and would be a much better ROI versus using it as is. This thing is water cooled, just the plumbing would be a nightmare to deal with if you aren't set up for it, and if you are you would be better off going with a modern architecture anyway.

I haven't seen good evidence of his ability to stay coherent with less than 140 characters either
