Same first hard drive I bought! Crazy we both remembered the model number too. Got mine in 1990 so not $800 I don’t believe, but regardless it was all I could afford after buying the 8087 math coprocessor too!

I too was constantly accused of cheating throughout my first marriage. Not for any reason other than her suspicions… it was exhausting! She also took offense to the fact that I’m not the jealous type. Some dude would hit on her and she’d be upset it didn’t make me mad. I’d respond “Are you interested?” “Well no!” “Then why should I be worried or upset. I trust you.” It took me far too long to realize she suspected me because she knew she’d cheat on me if the situation were reversed and she figured everyone was like her.

During our divorce our court-ordered psychiatrist said he believed she suffered from some psychosis but would need more time to properly diagnose it. Since then I’ve come to realize her behavior is well-described as a vulnerable narcissist, and combined with her alcoholism and paranoia she destroyed just about every relationship she had before she died. It was a very sad and lonely end… I wish she’d have gotten help.

Dude I’m glad you’re in a better place. Our lives have very strange parallels. I was with my crazy ex from 17-32, she also falsely accused me of raping and beating her, telling our friends, family, my coworkers and neighbors - I even got a night in jail, but thankfully recorded conversations of us talking about her bruises and her saying she’d falsely accuse me - and I dealt with her craziness and fought for our marriage for years only to find she was cheating on me. When I found out and threw in the towel she went completely unhinged, especially when I got involved with another woman. My ex also died not long after we divorced.

I’ve now been with my wife much longer than my first and it’s been nothing but wonderful. I did not let my experience with my ex change my outlook on marriage and relationships… I don’t want to be with anyone that doesn’t want to be with me, and I’m convinced anyone cheating is going to screw up and get caught so there’s no need to be suspicious and go looking… it’ll reveal itself in time, and if so, I’ll say goodbye. Unwarranted distrust does great harm and it seems to be projecting with most people. Trusting each other and loving each other’s company is the mainstay of a great relationship and I’m so thankful I went from a nightmare marriage to what’s really an unrealistic movie romance. I didn’t really think such an amazing relationship was possible.

Glad to hear you’re in a much better place and relationship. A past of bad experiences should make you be more careful who you get involved with but if you use it to build walls around yourself, you hurt your relationships. Love with your all and don’t live in fear of betrayal. It’s the only way a relationship can become what your heart longs for.

I mean it wasn’t random. They came here, no one was present and they claimed it. And many were ok with sharing a bit when Europeans first arrived. The Europeans were the ones consistently ignoring their right of ownership and their right to exist.

The dude is clearly underestimating my farts.

Your immuno-compromised kid or spouse - who can’t get a vaccine - may die as a result too.

This isn’t a discussion about where the virus comes from, and debating its source is entirely different than debating the science of effective treatment and vaccines. Promoting unproven horse ointments while speaking lies about proven treatments kills people.

Even if their kids die as a result?

I’d put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.

Time Machine is just backup software isn’t it? It’s not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?

I don’t have it but one of my kids does. She sees colors with certain numbers and letters. Certainly doesn’t seem to have a downside for her and in my reading I haven’t heard of a sensory overload issue. Is this strictly related to the synesthesia or perhaps synethesia exaggerating an existing autistic or ADHD issue?

Your description of hearing shapes and colors sounds a lot like someone with synesthesia, a rare condition that’s seems to have no downsides and only benefits.

That summary may also explain why some men are so insecure about women earning more money than them too.

You are indeed!

As did I just a few minutes ago. I feel so special!

I haven’t heard any of them say this isn’t what I voted for. Sadly it’s exactly what most of them want. They don’t give a shit if democracy is lost.

If you read the whole thing you’ll learn that for some time their cards were in fact deactivated and they had to sneak in behind other people.

It’s keeping people off their land, as designed. I’m sure people buying property on the border do in fact find it beneficial not to have immigrants coming across on their property. Might even lower insurance too if it’s viewed to reduce risk of liability.

Funny that they used donations to make their property more desirable and surprise Pikachu face its worth more now and taxes went up!

No OTA broadcasts in the US utilize 4k yet. ATSC 3.0 is being utilized some, but not exclusively, but no one is broadcasting 4k unfortunately

I’m 26+ miles away from the broadcast antennas as the crow flies and I get great reception from an approx $100 antenna mounted in my attic. Some HOAs don’t allow antennas and people might be surprised to learn how good your reception can be from an attic.
