But that might make him look fat

Can’t remember which MST3k episode it was, but there was a movie that just kept going around in circles showing essentially the same scene multiple times, and Mike, Tom, and Crow just yell “Seen it!” That’s all that goes through my mind with this whole stupid war

Should have seen that cumming

You’d think that sinking multiple ships in the strait would leave a lot of debris that would make traversal rather dangerous. So either he’s completely lying out of his front-facing ass, or he’s boasting about doing an incredibly stupid thing. Do we bet on his idiocy or incapability of telling the truth being worse?

Interesting, and ty for the troubleshooting tips. I’ll definitely keep this in mind as something to monitor when transitioning over the os on my laptop

Yea, I’m not ruling out a string of bad luck just causing all of the really old hardware to fail at the same time. As for your idea of unstable electricity, both PCs were plugged into a surge protector (not simultaneously), and the laptop was plugged into a completely separate surge protector in a different room. Doesn’t seem likely, but at the same time I’m not particularly knowledgeable on that front

I guess I could be jumping to conclusions with the laptop, but I did a test with the PCs and I’m pretty sure it’s the PSU. Both PCs are identical because my friend and I used the same list of parts to build them over a decade ago. Mine died a little bit after installing Mint, and since my friend has a more recent build, he let me salvage his PC for parts. First thing I did was see what happens if I just put his PSU in my dead PC and it immediately booted back up. However, I was concerned that maybe some other bit of hardware in my PC caused the PSU to fail, so I just put my hard drive and the working PSU back into my friend’s PC and used it as normal. About a month after that, it died the same way.

As for the other things you’ve suggested, I did try all of those tests to no avail, as well as cleaning/dusting all of the internals and connection ports with compressed air. I got nothing, which is why I figured I’d ask here.
