Re: Got My New Plate

Nice! Very nice! Almost makes me want to check and see if that is available in WI plates, but my annual registration renewal is already like $300 mostly because I drive an EV and throwing a custom plate on top would make it even worse

There will be no peace so long as right wingers control Israel and its adversaries. With how extremist Israel is getting, I think it is dangerously likely that Israel could deploy nuclear weapons against Iran.

A windows update cannot make your BIOS screen stop working. The problem is somewhere else.

Check all the connections to the GPU, make sure nothing has worked free. Try a different GPU if you have one, or try the GPU in a different system.
