*Permanently Deleted*

Been 20 years since I left my entire family behind. Occasionally text my step sister and an uncle but that's it. No regrets at all. I barely have enough time for all the people I choose to have in my life now, certainly no time for all the petty white trash baggage that it still sounds like they all subject themselves to.

What is the best way to reinstall Windows after a MoBo/CPU upgrade while maximizing app/file/configuration retention?

Honestly your probably fine to just leave your system drive as is. It's been a long time since mobo/cpu upgrades have broken a Windows install for me. My experience is Intel to Intel though, if your going to or coming from AMD then I'm less confident but still pretty sure you could get it working with safe mode and removing old chip set drivers. I would image the system drive to your 4TB drive or another SSD if you have one and just do the hardware upgrade

Loyal T-Mobile Customer Of 20 Years Faces Billing Nightmare: Denied Refund, Hit With Late Fees, Sent To Collections After Company Fails To Cancel Line Properly

It's interesting to see this now. I had T-Mobile for about 10 years and I canceled both my cell phone and 5G internet last October. Then I received a collection notice around February. After calling, then having to go to our local store to have them confirm my identity and the date that I dropped off the 5G modem to them, and then another phone call and a transfer where the rep finally told me that the person that canceled my phone line did not also cancel the 5G modem line. The local branch confirmed the day I dropped off the 5G modem was the day that I called to cancel, and they saw it had no usage during that entire time. And yet after all that, they insisted that I needed to pay the bill and refused to discount it or anything at all, finally they wore me out and I didn't care anymore so I told them I would pay it right now on the phone and this would be the end of it, the little prick had the nerve to tack on late fees on top of it all after admitting it was all their fault. I will never use T-Mobile in any capacity again and will actively dissuade people I know from using them.

Men, are you physically affectionate with other male friends? (eg, hugging, snuggling, playful wrestling, etc). If you aren't, do you wish it was more socially acceptable if it isn't in your culture?

Occasionally get rowdy with some light punching, has devolved into some wrestling until someone's hurt. Happens less as we have gotten older and we don't bounce up off the floor and shake it off like we used to. Hugs with other guys are limited to a friend's uncle and his husband.

How old are you (roughly) and how long does it take you to recover from illnesses and injuries compared to when you were younger?

Recently turned 40. Generally speaking, I don't see a big difference in the heal time of cuts or bruises. My joints on the other hand feel like they don't hold up like they used to. Recently spent a day helping a buddy cut down and mulch some dying trees on his property, made it through the day no problem. The next three days of recovery were rough though. I feel like a random day of labor like that when I was 30 wouldn't have had the same impact. I do weigh probably 20 lb more now but I'm also more physically active on a daily basis than I was when I was just a 30-year-old IT geek. That being said, seeing some of the responses here from the 60 and 70-year-olds gives me hope that it's all in my head.
