Once upon a time there were some beautiful hibiscus flowers being saved for a hungry young sulcata.... then the bandits came...
da heck happened to "Reptiles unite"???
Last night I went to turn off my PC but clicked restart by accident, so I opted to turn it off via holding the power button.
After that, it just kept being stuck on a boot loop. Turning on right after I hold the button to turn it off, until it eventually stopped turning on by itself.
Today, I tried turning it on. Fans and lights worked fine, but nothing happens. Monitor is displaying "No signal" and peripherals (keyboard and mouse) are not lighting up like they're supposed to.
So far:
- I have tried unplugging **everything** from the tower, holding the power button for a few seconds, leaving it unplugged for a solid 10 minutes, and it did nothing.
Sometimes, it even starts itself up when I connect the power cable and simply turn on the power switch from the back (having previously held down the power button for 10-15 seconds before plugging it back in)
- I have tried removing and putting back the RAM sticks, even changing their placements. Nothing.
- I have also removed the cmos(?) battery thing from the motherboard. Also holding down the power button for 10-15 seconds after removing it and another 10-15 after putting it back it. Nothing.
It's just stuck at turning the lights and fans on.

Saw this fixed gear bike on sale around my area for pretty cheap. I’m new to cycling and fixed gear bikes and he didn’t give much info other than the fact that it has 700c wheels. Any experts got opinions?
I jumped at the 100$ for 2500 points earlier today when I saw it, but have no idea what to get. I have to use it before April as I’m moving to a different country where Sephora does not exist
Im kinda at the place where there is nothing I want or need from Sephora. I’ve restocked everything and nothing is close to empty. So I’m looking for your holy grail products that you can’t live without. I also don’t own any eyeshadow pallets so I’m open to getting one, so I’d love som recommendations for that as well. I am 28 years old, dark brown hair, fair skin and blue eyes.
I'm currently 16 and I'm a digital artist. Tried to do commissions and so far I've received none.
Most of the jobs in my area only hire for full time or if it's not the managers hire students or adults that they know. If anyone knows a job I can get remotely please dm 🙏🏾
I'm having an internal dilemma and I'm not sure what to do about it.
I (37f) am getting married in November. This will be my second marriage. I have an older brother (41M) who I'm contemplating not inviting to my wedding. I'm having a destination wedding in Mexico at an all inclusive resort.
My brother has always been troubled. He has had issues with alcohol since he was a teen. My parents have bailed him out of every issue he's faced - whether it's legal troubles from DUI's, getting him a car if he's wrecked his (or my moms - he totaled my moms car while having a drunken fight with his girlfriend) - he has never had to face any consequences in life. A year ago, he had his 3rd DUI. Part of me was a little hopeful that this would be the wakeup call he needs to get his shit together. Except the judge let him off completely. He was facing a year in jail, the judge gave him probation.
Rewind to 2014, the year of my first wedding. It was the big, formal wedding that every introvert has nightmares about, but that's a story for another day. My family travelled 6 hours to stay in my city for the wedding. My brother was travelling with his 1 month old son and girlfriend. The night before the wedding, my brother and his girlfriend went out drinking in the city I live (my parents watched their baby). My brother and his girlfriend (now ex) had always had a volatile relationship. When drinking is mixed in, things went from 0-1000 really quick. They got into an argument while out drinking, which continued after they got back to the hotel. They were fighting to the point that my parents needed to get involved. Mind you, it's 2 am at this point. Things finally settled down and everyone went to bed around 3am.
I was unaware of any of this happening. I woke up the next morning and was getting hair and makeup done in my room. My mom came to the room to get hers done as well, and I could see on her face something was wrong. She kept saying "everything's fine, everything's fine" and I took it at face value.
The ceremony and dinner went smoothly, however after dinner I could tell tensions were high between my brother and his girlfriend. She was sitting and scowling at him and the general vibe was not great. At one point things escalated, and my brother got up to walk away from the table. He was holding his 1 month old baby. She charges after him and tries to trip him while he's walking towards the door. They started to cause a scene, and I had to grab them both and escort them out. I had to tell them to grow the F up or they needed to leave. His girlfriend ended up leaving shortly after.
People saw. People commented. It was mortifying. I still remember it vividly to this day and it bothers me so much. I hated my first wedding for many, many reasons. My wedding in November is going to be the one that matters (marrying my freaking dreamboat of a soulmate - I'm a lucky lady!), and I don't want the stress and anxiety of what my brother might do hanging over my head.
Since my first wedding, his drinking has not improved. I do believe his girlfriend was a big instigator in all of this, and he wouldn't be bringing anyone as a plus one. I am paying for my parents to attend the wedding, but I would not be paying anything towards my brother if we invite him. If he attends, he would be sharing a room with my parents. I don't want this at all - part of choosing a destination wedding was to give my parents the chance to have a Caribbean vacation. They have never left the country, barely left the Midwest and I wanted to give them a nice vacation. I'm worried they would be babysitting him the entire time.
I've talked to my parents about my concerns, outlining everything I went over above. To them, not inviting him is not an option. It's frustrating, because every time I talk to them on the phone they vent about how hard it is with him living at home, his drinking issues, and that he still hasn't grown up. But when I bring up not having him at the wedding they give me the sob story of how cruel it would be to not invite him.
I don't WANT to exclude him. His track record with drinking is leading me to this decision. This is not the only outburst with drinking he's had. I'm worried what would happen if he was let loose at a resort where drinking is highly encouraged.
TL:DR: My older brother caused a scene at my first wedding. He's an alcoholic that hasn't made changes to his drinking habits. I don't WANT to exclude him, but I really don't want to be worrying about what might happen if he drinks too much while there.
Hey guys, I'm working on a 3D top-down/isometric game and I was looking for a tool similar to RTS map editors (like StarCraft) that would let me design maps by placing textures and objects easily. Unfortunately I couldn't find something like that yet. So I was thinking if there is a way to export the finished map (.SC2Map) as a 3D object and import it into Unity. Is there a way with casc view or something else?
Seeing him almost trip on that carpet as he answers the door, brought back a memory when I was a teenager.
I heard the phone ring, and I got off the couch quickly. Without noticing, my foot got caught on this new carpet mom bought. I fell forward into the entertainment furniture where one of the cabinets was open, and the corner nearly gouged out my left eye.
Luckily, it missed by 5 mm, and instead left a gash just below my eyebrow. I never saw so much blood, and thank god my friend was there and rushed me to the hospital.
I fainted in the waiting room of the hospital lol. Fuck those little carpets!
Hi guys!
A friend and I are traveling to **Slovenia** with 4 days to spare, We are looking for recommendations for an unguided hike around **Triglav National Park** with ending it in bled(or near). We are coming from Ljubljana and would be able to start anywhere available by bus or train.
Our idea was a trip around the area and sleeping in the cabins along the way. We haven't been able to find a route that made sense elsewhere so i wanted to try my luck here!
Any advice is appreciated! Thank you :)
