Yep you needed a ring to get in.

They got rid of the animal sacrifice after they started letting non-ring holders in.

For all of the issues that you seemed to have had with your PC, you should just learn how to do these things for yourself. These aren’t difficult tasks.

It's possible they just forgot to plug the header back in. As Wormius said, these are simple things!

Hmm....that gives off wafting vibes of 'This is a Cult.'

Well that might explain the whole 'Bridge Collapse' element.

What are they made of? Breadsticks? Like the time Springfield Elementary got the Mafia to do their school renovations?

Sorry, am I flooding CP with a barrage of issues with my computer? I really didn't realize it has been so many.

If engineers had a choice about who to invite to the iron ring ceremony there wouldn’t be anyone invited and the party would be at home, alone.

I've never met a humble engineer in me life. They're always flashing their pinkies around like they're hot stuff, making sure everyone knows just how educated and rich they are.

I don't wear my pinky ring, I just go around telling everybody how stupid and ignorant they are as compared to me.

If an engineer isn't wearing their ring, they'll sure as hell tell you they are an engineer. Like clockwork.

So....if you're stuck in a room with a Crossfitter, a Vegan and an Engineer but only have a gun with two bullets what do you do?

Spoiler!

In fairness, replacing a CPU iw something I always try to get Memory Express or somewhere to do for me (i.e. by buying either the cpu or mobo from them) so that they take the risk of a bent pin. Knowing how to do it doesn't eliminate the 5% chance something messes up.

Especially if it's AMD with the pins on the CPU itself

Iirc they do it for free anyway don't they? If you buy the mobo and CPU from them

I'm watching Shameless now -- only on S2E4, but holy crap, I don't think there's a TV character I'd like to see offed more than the dad so far. (I already know he doesn't judging by his episode count on IMDB). Absolutely nothing redeeming about him so far
