We have an ASUS laptop that was used for government work, (which is actually a gaming laptop, since it was the only one that could run AutoCAD at the time).. it stopped booting up normally, and just goes to Diskpart, It's still running Windows 7.. I thought it might just be an issue with BIOS, but we just got it back from Keith Stone Computers, he said he can't do anything since it's Windows 7.. (?) and his diagnostics say the drive is failing..

We're trying to see if anyone else had any ideas or ability to try to at least get files off, to a new drive, or whatever needs to be done to get it to work again.. lots of important info is on it that is needed to function, both work and personal..

Ive posted before about one of Marcys ads.

The one I've been seeing lately features people who stated they voted for Husted, but won't vote for Merrin as he's "compromised by data centers."

Real niiice from diamond hands Kaptur.

Let's people basically shit on Sherrod Brown with them saying they voted for Husted.

The ads do call Merrin "Data Center Derrick."

What about Husted who has taken millions from First Energy.

Obviously Marcy doesn't care, as she has people on her ads saying they voted for Husted.

She also loves to say she works across the aisle with many Republikkkans.

I do hope she wins, and fkkn retires.

Its obvious from her latest ads that Marcy only really worries about Marcy.

The other Dems running in Ohio for midterms dont seem to mean anything to her.

She just wants to make sure SHE gets reelected.

Why has Toledo smelled like old fish fry the past couple days?

Not a joke. I feel like there has been a rancid odor in various parts of Toledo since yesterday afternoon.

Hello. I've seen many many posts of people that are very upset (rightfully so) and concerned over the GMA leak that happened a week ago.

I live in one of the most affected neighborhoods about 1.8 miles west of the leak site. I spent days being extremely concerned like all of you but have nearly no concerns after putting in the effort to understand what happened and how our health might be affected.

I have compiled a short summary document that should hopefully give people ease of mind when it comes to the leak, exposure levels, and the short and long-term health effects people have/may experience from this incident.

Full disclosure: I am not a scientist but I do understand on basic levels many of the concepts that pertain to the chemical leak and all of the topics described within due to a background in mechanical engineering and computer science. I have utilized the power of an AI system (Claude pro which I use for work) to do some math and modelling of the leak and create the document summary. PLEASE DO NOT JUST DISMISS THIS BECAUSE OF THE USE OF AI.

The output of this document has been highly driven by my inputs and the input of all of the publicly released data, including many revisions and many edits to make sure the document isn't just ai slop responses and is not just me going "oh hey give me an answer" and then sharing the response. I have spent hours inputting public information, including a direct timeline of my personal experience living through the leak in the SIP zone, and my symptoms, having it make estimates and refined the info many times over as more information has been released. The exposure estimates are based on all of the epa data points, the temperature measurements of the tank throughout, public reporting of the travel of the plume (initial westward travel), the weather conditions, etc.

I hope this gives people comfort on the danger they are feeling and the potential future health effects which are very likely to be zero.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENT. IT IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE BASED ON THE AVAILABLE DATA FOR PEOPLE TO GAIN A SENSE OF THE HAZARD CONCERNS.

## I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT

is there anywhere around here where I can get some really good beignets?? Toledo or Fremont-ish area 😊

Oooooo boy!

Library officials were forced to close the Kent Branch Library Tuesday morning after a patron threw a box of cockroaches at a staff member.

According to library officials, the library, at 3101 Collingwood Blvd., was closed immediately after the altercation. 

Contractors were being called in to clean up and remediate the cockroaches, library officials said. They hoped to reopen the building on Wednesday.

I have questions. Why, obviously? Alive or dead? How many were there? Are we an open carry cockroach state?

I bought some parts to fix my car and wasn't able to complete the task. Does anyone know of a garage around town that will take my parts and install them on the car? They are still unopened in the box.

There will be another midnight release party in January.

Looking to get a group to go to trivia night Thursday night in DT Toledo at The Bronze Boar.

Pref people in 20s//early 30s.

No experience necessary. This is a first for me as well.
