Jawaan Taylor forces nfl refs to crack down on early pass blocking > refs make example out of Ronnie Stanley vs the chiefs > jawaan Taylor does it all night > jawaan Taylor does it all year long

Really weird sequence
they crack down on it......except when the Chiefs are playing. He was offsides on the OT touchdown run.

Marlon has been playing great Football this season and one of the best cover CBs....what are the chances he gets first team all pro this season? I know our pass defense has been bad but IMO he's been elite this year.

@RavensMania BITCOIN is looking amazing today. You called it a while back. Really kicking myself for not throwing more in

I appreciate the call out. Not sure when I called it, but I do remember mentioning it on the boards at one point. I've been investing in bitcoin on a monthly basis for almost 4 years. I'm not even sure I'd call it investing. If you're going to put money away in crypto, it's best to just dollar cost average in, just like you would put money into a 401k. I just tend to put money in both bitcoin and ethereum on a monthly basis. Due to the volatility in crypto, I don't overdue it. It should be a small portion of your portfolio. That being said, I believe bitcoin and ethereum have a long way to go.

I mentioned 401k's. I'd recommend everyone due a Roth 401k if you have the opportunity to do so. Most people on this board are young and have a long time for their assets to grow in a 401k. Would you rather pay the taxes on the seeds (todays investment) or the harvest. Also, many people with a higher income can't invest in a Roth IRA, but a Roth 401k doesn't have the income limits.

DM me if you want an explanation. I'd be happy to help if you have any questions.

So for those good with a computer. My computer is old, I'm ready to replace it with a gaming computer but not this soon. Unfortunately, my Dell Desktop decided that it was going to die tonight.

Kept coming up with something about automatic repair, I'd do a hard reset and it would come up no Bootable devices found. Thinking the hardware is shot, would it be worth trying to fix or just invest into the gaming PC I'd like to get?

Depends on budget. Taking it in for a repair will be cheaper. If you're willing to spend some money you can get a really sweet rig.

Try reseating your sata cables maybe? Maybe a hard drive malfunction, if the pc is worth saving you could try replacing the hard drive. Idk the process off the top of my head but you check hardware config in bios settings and see if it’s a hard drive malfunction. That wouldn’t be too big a deal

What, exactly, is the message? It sounds like it's software initially. But maybe your hard drive is shot and it can no longer find the boot data. If that's the case, it could be a cheap fix, just get a new hard drive and reload your stuff. But if, as you say, it's old and needs to be retired, let me know. I've built a few from scratch that are way better than off the shelf computers. Just have to know what you want.
