Quick question, why did you pawn it instead of sell it on craigslist, facebook market place, letgo, or eBay? I get you probably needed the money instantly but you could have sold it for probably $1300 the same day on one of these websites. Also apply for that unemployment 

I do actually think that that was better. I also tried going to a thread (the thread from Bengali), and while I'm not entirely sure if it's loading correctly (images are missing, so I'm not sure if anything else is missing too), I think I like that more too.
 
One specific suggestion, that the old old forum did have: the time of posts doesn't show. For that thread, it just says "Posted January 4, 2013", while the old old forum shows this: "Posted 03 January 2013 - 11:06 AM", which I much prefer. Even when it says "Posted 46 minutes ago", I think it would be great if it were to be expanded to "Posted 46 minutes ago, at 11:22 PM", or something similar. [EDIT: The time can already be seen by hovering your mouse above it on desktops, but that unfortunately doesn't work when you can't use a mouse, such as on your phone. And even so, I think this would be more convenient anyways.]
 
Another suggestion: would it be possible to widen the typing box on mobile? It's a bit narrow, I think. There's nearly a centimeter between the edge of my screen and actual text, on each side.

Whoops, I thought about it, but then still forgot to add that part into my post. I edited it in now. I'll quote what I edited in here too, for convenience:

I solved the issue. 
 
If you're interested how,
 
> go to display settings
> select "make everything bigger"
> choose any value that's greater than 100% 
> restart pc
> go back to default size
 
This solved my problem.

I actually work for one of the above named companies. The issue is that open reach look after all the infrastructure other than virgin. So no matter who you go with, it's the same speed as its the exact same lines. Just the bill is a different name. 
 
The only alternative to that is FTTP broadband that only really BT and Zen provide, but that's still pretty rare in the UK. Its more rural areas or brand new builds that are getting it. 
 
If you want to DM me the full address, I'll check my work systems and see what is available for you so I can give you a definitive answer? 

For me, I'm more apt to looking at a user's profile pic and name. So having the OP badge on the same side as that makes much more sense to me, rather than having to actually look for it. All of the other info about a user is right there, why move the OP badge away from that? It's senseless to me.

i miss the BB code editor. 
 

I also really fucking hate this thing:

Also the font was recently changed back to what it was on the old forum version. I didn't like the new font either, and I'm glad it was changed back.

The layout and lack of alignment goes against just about every design philosophy out there. Sure I can get used to it, but I'd rather go back to a more pleasant experience that was correctly implemented.

I understand that it's preference, but I am super duper not a fan of this layout. Can we have the option to enable a "classic" theme or something?
 
Distinguishing who is the OP is now a chore. It used to be colored red which would naturally catch your eye and was aligned to the left of content where your eyes naturally gravitate when you start reading. Now it's unintuitively all the way out in the middle of nowhere on the right where nobody looks and in a light blue which is not easy to catch. The alignment of just about everything is way off, it's not pretty to look at. Content boxes are just seemingly thrown wherever with no regard to surrounding elements, nothing aligns and in turn just looks jarring. Padding is way too much. Signatures are now enormous and dominate threads. Fonts are more difficult to read and icons are wonky and large.  
I could go on, but I'd just like the option to go back to a more usable experience.
 
 

I don't think there's anything wrong with them using more connectors. Whether the power draw is acceptable.... depends on how hot you'd like your room to be.

Cruise control. I use it all the time. Especially when driving far, it's amazing, but even for short trips it's great, as it allows your feet to relax and makes you not have to think about your speed all the time. Just set and forget. That being said, I've also driven (also longer trips) in cars without cruise control, but it's definitely not as nice as with it.
 
Air conditioning is also pretty great.
 
Good visibility is also important. Many cars have stupidly big A-pillars that block your view, especially in a turn. I hate that. Also many cars have a terrible view when looking to your side or backwards. I also hate that.
 
A reasonable clearance from the ground. Some cars are so low to the ground that you hit bumps even if you're going very slow. Very annoying. I'm not a fast driver, but I'd rather not damage the car when going over bumps.

Yes you can.

an 8700K is still one of the top performers in modern games. Any high end GPU is reasonable to pair with it.

You don't need to blow cigarette smoke it into your computer. People who smoke in their houses regularly will have that cigarette smoke build up on the walls and ceilings over time. And that smoke will get sucked into the intakes of your computer, resulting in this lovely mess.
 

You could definitely just get the 3080. It might bottleneck in some situations, but you will always have a bottleneck somewhere, so that is normal and not to be worried about.

Depends on the power draw of them. If they don't exceed to maximum power draw that a single socket can output, you'll be fine. 
 
Not sure on where you live, but in the UK it's around 3000W on a single outlet I believe. I imagine it's similar for most of Europe that uses 220-250V. 

if you need to upgrade, do so
if you can wait, wait
 
but I think DDR5 for desktop is still at least 1.5y to 2.5y away

high-ly unrecommended indeed.

I'm more concerned about:
 
Your listening and comprehension skills
Money management skills
Decision making skills
 
Etc.
 
Bottom line, you're young and have absolutely NO experience as a parent and dealing with children.  There may be reasoning your parents have they aren't telling you.  And as a parent myself, I truly feel a child needs to understand on some level what they're doing and you're not just giving in to impulse control issues.
 
Kids see, they want, then HAVE TO HAVE or the world ends.
 

they are referencing the fact that you are using a lot of abbreviations and numbers and purposefully misspelling words.
 
This for example, should read as "Okay, I'll try. Boy I love you guys."

Maybe also explain to them that a PC can help you with punctuation and proper grammar?
