Things in poor neighborhoods are done differently than in middle- and upper- class neighborhoods. People that grow up in poor neighborhoods develop behaviors, customs, and beliefs that are different from other neighborhoods because they are part of surviving in the struggle. When they move on up, some of those behaviors, customs, and beliefs are no longer necessary and can even be harmful (e.g. strong reactions to perceived attacks). Others may actually provide an advantage (e.g. living through power outages). Regardless, these changes can cause a sense of estrangement from their childhood and original culture, leading to some resistance. Given all that:
What did you change and what did you keep?
Damn, I can’t imagine throwing that stuff away instead of donating it. If it’s just a common item I’ll drop it off at the thrift store, and if it’s something really good I’ll put it on Craigslist for free. If it’s really good then I’ll sell it.
i can only imagine he thought it was broken, he left
this case - Corsair 4000D - https://amzn.to/40uje6R
this keyboard - Steelseries Apex Pro - https://amzn.to/48zfXVP
and a week later, this case - Thermaltake Core V2 - https://amzn.to/48BL96M
the thermaltake case i had just bought one a month prior to setup as a backup Truenas server, they Corsair case and keyboard went to my kid’s rig after we cleaned it. haven’t found any major issues, every once in awhile the lights ont he keyboard go wonky, so we just unplug it, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. all keys work perfectly find.
Ha! Thay first case is the exact case I have for my main gaming desktop. I almost bought the second case last month when building a HTPC and the only reason I didn’t is because it was a couple inches too big to fit into my home entertainment center. That’s a damned nice keyboard too!
was a pretty popular case, went to my nephews place and he got the same one when he built his computer. it’s HUGE.
Eh, it’s smaller than some other ATX cases I’ve used. Haha. I like big cases for my main power system since it opens up a lot of expansion options, and is way easier to keep cool.
