Let me guess , you ' re an enlightened gamer who only plays The Witcher and Overwatch . Nerd <| sep |> Great minds think alike ! Or do they . <| sep |> Yes , it is possible . the ports can wear out from mechanical failure or corrosion in the contacts . If you have access to a multimeter you can check the traces from the plug to the solder points on the board . There are other things that can go wrong , but essentially , yes . It is possible for those sockets to fail . <| sep |> any time up until the release of the patch , this is one of the perks when they split lines like this take advantage of it if you can . <| sep |> I googled it . <| sep |> Dad here I was spanked as well and I had essentially your husbands view too until very recently . I swatted my toddler for being a toddler and it just didn ' t feel right . I vowed to myself to not spank or swat him anymore . I came to this on my own and if you do your best to model what you think is the better alternative to spanking he might come around too . It ' s easy to say you ' ll spank your kids when you don ' t have them or have that bond with them yet . Also , try not to pick at him too much . You ' ve made your case and he might dig his heels in on this one if he gets defensive .
