Retunal... and I FINALLY just recently beat it

I've been playing it off and on for about two years now, and it was so satisfying to finally finish the main story

You can use money from your 401k (stipulations vary) for a down payment on a first home, without the tax penalty (in America at least)

Incomprehension of fraction to decimal conversion is why 90% of people who say they are bad at math, say they are bad at math

I feel called out. I was in high-school Calculus (11th grade) before I "truly" understood fractions. Like, I honestly somehow managed to make it to Calculus without knowing how to add and subtract fractions without a calculator. Thought I was dumb in math until 9th grade algebra, and didn't start becoming a bit of a math nerd until Calculus

It's always refreshing to crack open a cold one?

I mean... at the least, your mom tells me that several times a week

Edit: And at the most; everyday

Thank you for your service—someone had to say it

Oh, heard that. I'm on 128 on my phone too and they were all disabled

For everyone trying to find the setting— On my android phone, there's a setting called "data collection". Mine were already all off, so idk who it affects

Idk what 128 is on a phone, but my galaxy s21 had everything still off. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on it

She leaned forward, turned off the monitor, then turned it back on. "I did this 10 times already, and its still not working".

And this is why I couldn't work in IT support; I just don't have the patience for certain things. I always love teaching people new things, but most people don't care when it comes to computers; they just want it to work effortlessly even when they're the one screwing it up.

And especially working on-site! Oh my life, I bet there's that same few people... just constantly failing to even try lmao

I hear ya, and appreciate the info because I didn't know that. I was saying that I would do both before calling, and then again when they asked me

But this was back in like 2004-ish, so I'm not sure what was best practice back then. I would just try it all before calling lol... going so far as to shut down and unplug for a few seconds or more

Honestly, I would try the restart first (cause it was easier/more automated), and then a full shutdown and power-up. It's been many years since I called any IT support though, but that was mu process. Cause I hated having to call for help lol
