Interestingly he was largely a dramatic actor before Airplane!

He was even in one of the movies that Airplane! spoofs!

Exactly.

I have a hard time with this claim, since GE craft were de riguer in 60’s movie as hi-tech.

Still interesting, I’d like to see the financial projections - gotta be major costs to build/setup, and some interesting risk metrics.

Yep, let mother nature do her thing, which she does well

FYI of you install an app from the APK (“sideload”), it will never update via any app store and you’ll stay on that version

Thanks.

For those of us who don’t play these games, it didn’t make sense till your explanation.

Or you’ve hacked into their calls!

Define how you mean “best”.

I don’t have a best alternative, as my use-case is an Android phone running Lineage.

That you’re getting to the Dell logo is promising - though the board can still be bad I think it’s less likely.

That pop sound is concerning, given that it gets to the logo (mostly comoletes POST), odds are the capacitor that died was in the PS.

I’m not as sceptical of this “new” PS being insufficient - Dell routinely designs around very small power supplies for their systems. If it were genuinely insufficient, I don’t think you’d make it to POST at all.

That it’s hanging on POST means it has some conflict between BIOS config and the hardware (someone else mentioned this). That vintage Dell is known for taking a long time on POST when there are issues.

As someone else mentioned, remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes to fully clear the CMOS/BIOS settings.

Then boot and it should go into BIOS settings - of not, reboot and tap on either Delete, F2, or F12 (maybe enter) to get into BIOS. Delphi’s used all of these as an option - it’ll show on the screen for a few seconds before the Dell logo shows up.

Getting into BIOS settings is a promising sign.

Very the BIOS settings (or hell, force it to reset to defaults).

You really need to replace the thermal paste on the CPU/cooler. This requires cleaning the old off and putting new on. Without it, the CPU will overheat - though that will typically cause a hard shutdown/reboot after the OS is running for a while or pushing the cpu. But let’s get it to at least try to boot from a device first.

If its not clearing the post screen, its not getting to booting from media

Nothing to be done - that image is all in the minds of other people, and you don’t control what they think.

Just do you, people will be who they are.

Is it as who describe?

I think you may need to provide an example.

I’m pretty sure it’s all over the place - like a 1940’s Bob Hope/Lucille Ball comedy set in Egypt isn’t going to be accurate.

Right? Reading that was like watching an action movie!

Hahah

Doing nothing illegal, today…

I will call them Legos till the day I die, like everyone I know has for 50 years.

I never heard them called “Lego” until the last few years. So its like kleanex and xerox

Legos legos legos legos legos legos

GIGO.

Good, competent questions are key. I’d bet doctors, biochemists, etc, get better results because they have deep knowledge.

I get great results in areas where I have expertise, because I know immediately whether I’m getting reasonable results or not.

Bingo!

And then steelman whatever results you get (along with check the sources that agree with the results).

I’ve found steelmannig produces impressive results - but you must also have knowledge in the area you’re researching.

My questions always require sources - after validating via sources I then steel man the results.

Having done this in areas where I am an expert, I can say it does work so long as you approach this the same as anything else: with skepticism and strong criticism.

“Blinkered Philistine thinking”

“Drugs” do all sorts of things, not “bring happiness fastly”.

Some may cause euphoria, some may induce a sense of calm, some may cause disassociation, some may may make you more open - and each one is a slightly different experience for each person because of individual biochemistry and personal experience.

As my hillbilly family would say “you’re talkin’ outta yer ass”.

Your hubris is astounding.

I suggest you go and get all those experience, because you need them.

Yet more sophistry, now your a mind reader?
