Computer / Well I am not doing it then.

This is a rather old issue, pretty sure I've run into it at least once on every computer I've owned.

You power on your pc. Everything lights up, all the fans spin. [NO SIGNAL]
So you check the cable, no luck, you unplug all the perifs, no luck.

This is when you go past end user

You crack the case, unplug the hard drive. No dice.
Next step says to unplug the video card, but you don't have a screwdriver handy, so you pop the ram sticks
You get a nasty droid blatting from the PC because ram not found
You put the ram sticks back in
PC boots normally

I want to know who put "have the fans spin up, but don't boot the machine" in that order of operations and give them a solid thumping.

It honestly seems like the PC is having a toddler fit and refusing to start up unless you change its ram checksum.

Based on some casual research I did yesterday, there is nothing official preventing a felon from running for president. So our nightmare isn't over yet.

I actually feel this way about all trailers. I hardly ever watch one to the end as if I think it's worth a watch after the first 10 seconds or so, I immediately bail on the trailer so I don't glean too much from it.

That's funny!

I asked Siri for directions somewhere the other day and he threw in a helpful comment -- "speed camera detected."  Usually I find this Apple robot nearly useless, but in that moment he totally redeemed himself.  (I selected the male voice with British accent).  I believe there are apps that can function like radar detectors and need to do a little digging to upgrade this aspect of the navigation.  This town has multiple speed cameras that work weekdays from 8 - 6, so I'd like to know where to avoid them, having recently paid the price for my unawareness.

Google maps notifies you of every speed cam whilst you're driving. The problem is, nowadays they are "average speed check" cameras so slowing down just before one is of no benefit whatsoever.

British people are like coconuts. Hard on the outside but sweet once you crack us. Also often found full of alcohol and holding an umbrella.

Day 10. Still not laughing.

Maybe they're trying to clone it?
