Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Ruined in that no other top team will take him, and none of his supporters in Russia really care if he does well or not. Basically, he's replaceable after this season if he doesn't produce results.

 

A team = Red Bull Racing

B team = Scuderia Toro Rosso

man i really fucking hate how my old 2012 laptop can't run 720p60 video on youtube because it's relying on the cpu to render all that shit. and i can't put the intel graphics driver because when i load up the computer, the screen goes fucking blank. so i'm stuck with the ABSOLUTELY shitty basic graphics driver. that means i can't run anything that requires direct3d or openGL.

i think it might be something i did. because i opened it up once to clean out the fan, and before i opened it, it had no issues running it, but after i put everything back, the laptop started acting all wonky. i wanna request an RMA, but it would be way too late at this point.

I have a laptop from 2012 that doesnt run yt, or pretty much any website at all.

I intended to run linux on it, but linux doesnt have a proper wireless driver for it, so even that doesnt work.

I feel sorry for everyone who has to main a crap laptop.

i had main my 2012 laptop in this condition for about a year now. trying to watch youtube in even 720p is a pain, let alone in 60fps. and i wanna fix it by opening it up again and seeing how to fix it, but i dont wanna break anything else. but thank god its status has downgraded to emergency computer. i'm only using this now because my other main pc (from like 2006 lol) has taken a shit on me and i don't know how to fix this.

Had a realtor stop by today to have a look at the house. Going to put it out with a 100k reserve and see if anyone bites.

 

Guess what my last power bill was at.
