Today I was on a nice Thanksgiving walk around the neighborhood with my family. I was slightly in front of everyone and came up to a car with two people in it, seemingly about to back out of a driveway (accross the sidewalk I was walking on). I was unable to make eye contact with the driver to make sure he saw me and there was glare from the sun so I couldn't tell if his reverse lights were on.

So, I gave his trunk a soft friendly "pat-pat" so he'd know someone was behind him and wouldn't back into me. I literally patted it about as hard as I'd pat a dog's head, it would be impossible for me to have done any damage. I continue walking, and in a few seconds he gets out of the car and is abso

Setup: TCL Roku TV going over ARC to Yamaha RX-V467 driving 4.0 channels (so far): KEF Q150s up front and M-Audio Studiophile DX4s as surrounds. Use: Movies, TV, and music all from the Roku TV. Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Spotify, antenna TV, etc.

First question: I just got the RX-467 today off craigslist, and it works great except for when I set up ARC on the Roku TV. When I select "Dolby Digital Plus" or "Dolby Digital Plus, DTS" I get no audio from the TV. When I Select "Dolby Digital" or "Dolby Digital, DTS" I get audio and it works fine. All the documentation for this receiver says it supports DD+, so it should work. But then I found an old thread [here](https://community.roku.com/t5/Playback

I’m building a bit of a Franken-machine out of an old Dell Optiplex 790 motherboard and processor (i5 2500) and some spare drives I had hanging around, a 64 GB SSD (cheapo patriot from Microcenter) with the OS and a 2 TB WD Red drive for storage. Windows 7 was already on the SSD from an old build and booted just fine, had to reboot a few times getting new drivers. But when I plugged in the HDD and formatted it, I accidentally clicked and made it an “active” partition. After some googling, it looks like this means Windows will look to the “active” partition to tell it how to boot. Which I obviously do not want to do on my storage drive. So, I popped in a Ubuntu live USB (don’t have Windows in

Just to be clear, I am not a professional 'quote maker'. I'm just a frugal business major who greatly values his Roth IRA and statistical probabilities over any silly commission-based financial advisors.This being said, I am open to any and all portfolio criticism.

"In this moment, I am financially independant. Not because of any phony whole life insurance salesman's pitches. But because, I am diversified in my vanguard portfolio."

I recently set up an old Netbook (Lenovo S10) as a samba file server with Lubuntu 14.04. It is working great, except whenever I don't stream anything from it for a few hours, the computer goes to sleep. The only way to wake it up is to open the lid, whcih is inconvenient because I have it tucked away by my router without easy accesss.

I used the default power management software (Xfce Power Manager), and set everything to never sleep or hibernate either on battery or on AC power. Despite these settings, it still always goes to sleep when left unatended for a few hours.

Is there anything I can do to ensure it stays awake? Is there a better power management software I should install? It woul

I'm having to repeat my AFF 3 jump because I was not stable enough when my instructors released me on my first attempt. Everything else on the jump went fine (exit, pull, canopy work, landing pattern, silky smooth walking/standup landing). I've heard its pretty common to have to repeat some AFF jumps, but I was kind of disappointed when my instructor didn't sign me off for my level 4 after I jumped. Not to mention the extra money I have to spend to repeat the level.

Anyone else here have to repeat any AFF levels when they were first learning to skydive? Any tips on staying stable in the air once your instructors release you? They told me to practice arching on the floor at home and I have b
