it's actually pretty close to 50/50, based on the stats okcupid used to post
the thing is that the message rate is like 200 to 1 because girls don't (normally) initiate messages and the sheer volume of messages they receive means they have the option to be extremely picky about who they respond to
a guy might get two or three messages in a week if he's really pounding the pavement, a girl will get two or three messages an hour

"stablecoin" becomes an increasingly hilarious term
it's a speculative asset like any other horseshit fencing operation

stablecoins are closer to something like a mortgage-backed security
where the lender does have something of value to trade in on your token, but it's leveraged in some way
(this is why tether is in so much trouble, their fractional reserve strategy is overleveraged and violates their claim that they have enough liquidity to handle full liquidation of all tether coins in the wild)

It's not a technological discussion, but anyone knows about woodworking? I have a question. I have an ivory-white painted maple wood that I want to clear poly varnish. I'm reading this paragraph here
but it says oil-based poly spray here 'Clear;, should I still use it? I don't want to add a brown tone to my ivory-white paint ๐ฅฒ
paper tusk
It's not a technological discussion, but anyone knows about woodworking? I have ...
it'll appear slightly darker but because the wood has been painted it don't get really dark (like an aged cherry would)
getting barely darker is more an effect of the polyurethane than the oil carrier
keep in mind since it is oil based, it'll react to uv from sunlight and yellow in the long term
although I'm not sure how much a risk that is on painted surfaces
there. my dumb ass 2 cents
outer sand
it'll appear slightly darker but because the wood has been painted it don't get ...
would you recommend getting another spray but water-based poly instead?
paper tusk
it would probably be easier to use (and clean up from)
I've used spray stain/poly combo in rattle can and it was annoying as fuck all (getting an even amount on the piece)
outer sand
cause this spray seems have a very long drying time (6 hours), bruv if I have to wait so long to multiple coat and It ended up browning, I need to scrap everything and paint from the beginning again..
paper tusk
yeah and that's in optimal conditions ๐
it shouldn't brown during curing but unless have a lot of ventlation you'll sure know the process is happening (VOC's wise)
on bare wood colour change is usually measured in months to years time

on bare wood colour change is usually measured in months to years time

which one is better I'm assuming the higher cost one just because it costs more but I don't know
wraith agate
The more expensive one has more SSD storage, a better video card and iirc a stronger CPU

Not even mention the 1 year legion ultimate support, down the line they gonna charge you for that.
paper tusk
yeah. looks like walmart listings so at least it's not like dell level tech support scams
pastel idol
every bit of information in that text is literal gibberish to me so I have no idea which ones which
paper tusk
basically: lenovo (right image) has an older generation cpu. it is also less powerful (number of cores). the amount of system ram isn't acceptable for intended use (gaming). the storage is a wash (can add more later to most desktops). the graphics card (gtx 1660) is horribly outdated (still usable but value wise is a big no). wifi can also by upgraded (on cyperpower system) although it will likely require more effort
the biggest issue with the cyberpower is possible assembly/quality control issues
golden stream
I have 1660 but desktop edition
Well you would prefer something better than 1660 mobile ngl
Like 3060 mobile should be fine
wraith agate
Also I love it the lenovo one just lists all 802.11 standards, like it's something big.
It's just standards

Is 3060 12GB for like 200USD be reasonable?
ITX size btw
Also used, and SEA price so the price is a bit ridiculous
Not aim for gaming but aim for heavylifting production like 3d stuff tho
paper tusk
for 200 moneys there's far worse propositions
sounds good (limited gpu compute aside. but a budget is a budget)
usually 3060 plain goes for 370 usd (new) for a budget model
just make sure its legit

Yeah it's Colorful ITX 3060 model, 12G but used
paper tusk

golden stream

dull garnet

golden stream
I thought there is 8 and 12GB model
paper tusk
I dont remember any internet cafe only models of 3xxx like 1060 5gb
paper tusk
nevermind there's a shit version https://www.techspot.com/review/2581-nvidia-rtx-3060-8gb/
should be easy to avoid since only the ti version normally should have only 8 gb
golden stream
Hmmmm
paper tusk
unless some fucker flashed the ti bios to fake it and sell on wish or something
paper tusk
for used stuff wouldn't worry as much about counterfeit as something abused/defective and reduced service life
golden stream
Ya mostly the state of it
Hope it's not mined ._.
The reason I aim for 3060/Ti is because no need of adapter switcharoo plus no need that much of power
For that particular one bc ITX size
Anyway, tks for the help ๐

If you buy used, try to get a copy of the original purchase receipt, or make a bill of sale with the person you got it from. May be able to RMA the gpu and get the manufacturer to warranty it if something does go wrong

(disclaimer: i'm not a truck guy) I don't understand 'leveling' kits. For my fellow not-truck-people, the bed of the truck usually rides a little bit higher because there's nothing in the bed. So when you put a heavy load in the bed, it doesn't sink too far and mess up the suspension geometry. Leveling kits get rid of that 'extra springiness' so that the entire truck sits flat parallel with the ground when empty.
also, most truck designs are kinda done with that tilt in mind
so when they 'level' the suspension the hood suddenly looks awkwardly high
hard to find a good picture illustrating it

there's a lot of margin in the larger format (ie, 35mm) lenses, yeah
but they're also insanely complex to allow those huge/constant apertures over a long zoom range
like the 24-120 f/4 nikon made for F mount has something like 59 optics in 25 groups
with a constant f/4 aperture through the whole zoom range
combine that with the fact that sensors are now good enough to resolve any imperfection in the lens larger than the diffraction limit of light itself, and the fact that you need to AR coat all the lenses to avoid internal reflections
very spendy very quick

Alright, so guy I'm trying to help really likes the NZXT H1 case. All of his parts come in under the power limit (535w vs. the 750 PSU) and the GPU he likes will fit.....but the CPU he wants is the 7600x. Which is a TDP of 105w.
I'm not sure on how a 120mm AIO will fare vs. a 105w CPU. Any info?
Like normally I'd say 240 but....case.

unless he puts the 7600X in Eco Mode or gets a 7600 thereโs no way
lime wasp
Well these answers are inconclusive
lime wasp
The thing is the Ryzen 5 CPUs try to push the clocks up to whatever they can reach at 95*C.
So they keep pushing until they hit that ceiling.
sly elk
The Ryzen 5 7600X is a processor rated at 105 Watts; the thing is, much like Intel's PL2 states, AMD now applies a PPT of 142 W, so that means your processor can utilize that wattage. The specs aren't so shabby as the processor can utilize 1.475 Volts dynamically. All these factors produce all that heat we've been talking about. I want to add that much heat seems to originate from the memory controllers. The new IO chip also has fast PCI lanes and an IGP to deal with. With LCS you can keep this processor in the ~85 Degrees C domain under full load though; that's okay enough.
I'm agreeing with no here
it makes me wonder how/why sff builds work
