yeah it's a stupid acer thing

[sly elk]

stupid acer thing:

[paper tusk]

the model (V277U) has multiple versions

which is a shame since it has ok specs (1440 res)

going to default to wanting hdr so the 150 bucker on newegg looks like it'll get my money unless i find something else

[sly elk]

ty chatgpt

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the Acer XV272U Pbmiiprzx monitor. Its name alone evokes a sense of wonder and excitement, and I am captivated by its unique charm. The XV272U Pbmiiprzx has brought me immense joy and satisfaction, and I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the XV272U Pbmiiprzx fan club.

oh wow

hey just a recommendation

if you ever apply to a company and write them a cover letter, please at least double check that the cover letter is relevant to the company you're applying to lol

if it says you love video game development and are excited at the opportunity to develop video games for them

... and they don't make video games......

my gpu is dying after 2 years, both manufacturer and store warranty expired. store warranty "expired" because they're fucking liars

[inland mauve]

😬

imagine going blind because of this and then finding out the product that was sold to you was made by boneheads who have no business making medicine

[sly elk]

the hell kinda gpu has only a 2 year warranty

also who made it?

i need to make a mental note to not buy from them

[hard drift]

powercolor

[sly elk]

ah wow those do have 2 year warranties

[hard drift]

YEAH IT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT

[sly elk]

[hard drift]

their cpus are still okay in my books for now

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

it's not long before i go intel and nvidia at this rate

[sly elk]

honestly

if I wanted trouble free i'd go with a 13700k and a ddr4 motherboard >>

ddr5 is so bullshit lol

you can EASILY get 64gb ddr4 3600 for the price of 32gb ddr5 6000

well.... maaaaaaaybe i'm exaggerating a little on easy, but there are cases where that pricing overlaps

and the ddr4 overclocks better and easier and

meh

[royal forge]

Tbh

I didnt go DDR5 because of the huge price diff that would involve

You'd upgrade everythin else

[hard drift]

i have had 0 problems so far

[royal forge]

And shit's expensive

[hard drift]

ddr5 is cheap enough now atleast

[royal forge]

I almost went ddr 5 and a 4090

Bur the prices

Hoooo boy

[modest moss]

how did the store lie?

[royal forge]

I DID buy it pre-xmas

[hard drift]

they told me it was after the return period that the warranty started

that was in fact, a lie

[sly elk]

I have had 1 problems so far because I refuse to run 2 dimms

[hard drift]

that's on you lol

[sly elk]

admittedly the process of overclocking ram on am5 is rather infuriating

the "did it die or is it still trying to train the memory" 40 seconds of doom

[hard drift]

Lol yeah

Unless you’re on asrock

The like 3 minutes of doom lmfao

[sly elk]

yeeesh

I've figured mine out though

[hard drift]

Nice

My memory training wasn’t actually horrible

[sly elk]

if it goes 15 -> c5 -> Ab and the dram (and maybe CPU) error lights come on, I know I failed

[hard drift]

Lol

[sly elk]

buit I still sit there for like 30 seconds hoping that's a fluke

also, I'm going to say, I've been familiar with AMD processors since the days they made the K6-2

I can't say I trust my cpu to last longer than 2 years 😦

[hard drift]

Lmao

[sly elk]

how long is the warranty on those things anyway?

[hard drift]

I went from fx 8350 -> 3700x -> 7900x they last fine

[hard drift]

Idk

[sly elk]

maybe i should buy a warranty from amazon >>

[hard drift]

Getting ptsd from warranty lol

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/car-warranty-cars-extended-warranty-meme-drive-gif-22412970

[hard drift]

can you inform me about my gpus extended warranty instead 😭

[sly elk]

maybe i should swap my cl30 ddr6000 out for cl34 ddr7000

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4Y3DCL4 it's $20 a set cheaper!

i wonder how long it'd take to get on amazon's shit list for returning too much stuff >>

eh the model number and the name don't match up :S

[sly elk]

..

i changed my ddr5 settings this time and

IT BOOTED

hurray I can do 4 slots of ddr5 😄

it put vsoc at 1.3v though

I pushed that down to 1.2, let's see if it still continues to boot >>

it's kinda silly that EXPO just straight up crashes out, but when I manually put the settings in it works fine lol

oh noooooo got the dreaded Ab <dram light>

so 1.25 vsoc?

rebooted again and it works haha ok

yea lookie there, 1.2v! it's nice and happy.

it'd be really nice if ryzen master had an "import settings from bios" button :\

it seems like it has no knowledge of the changes i made there, that is unfortunate lol

i wonder if i should try a pbo curve and maybe get my temps even lower :3

[sly elk]

ah dangit, rebooted and it won't boot

[sly elk]

even ran prime95 for a little while

[cerulean talon]

No, no, I've got some 256 gig ram boxes for those.

[potent arrow]

[cerulean talon]

Gotta segement your usage, the minecraft /client/ needs 64 gig of ram too.

[potent arrow]

Perfect

Waugh can HASS finish their voice assistant already

[cerulean talon]

One of these days I'll order enough ram to finish my 512 gig internal server.

And I'll have reached a point I'm happy with that box.

[potent arrow]

gimme some ram

[cerulean talon]

Never enough ram.

[sly elk]

yea I think I might just need to bump my dram voltage a little

one thing I wonder is if corsair saying the dram voltage is 1.4V (in the expo profile too) means "up to 1.4V" or "it should be 1.4V at all times"

but seriously, prime95 is running great haha

[sly elk]

uhm

i have a feeling some computer parts are going back to amazon -_-

[sharp star]

oh no

[sly elk]

like I had 4xddr5-5600 working nad then today the fucker refused to boot, and when it did it gave me a bsod acpi_bios_error

what the fuck

[hard drift]

shit happens i have had that issue before. i just lowered it a slight bit when running 4 sticks and it was stable

[sly elk]

yea, wish I had better insight into whether the ram was the problem or the cpu

[hard drift]

it's likely the memory controller

but everyone was warned that 4 sticks isn't exactly the most stable 😐

[sly elk]

"we warned you it was shit!"

[real edge]

4 sticks?

blah

[deep sapphire]

🤣

[sly elk]

hank, ddr5 on intel has been a pain in the butt too

[deep sapphire]

works fine for me

[sly elk]

4 sticks?

[deep sapphire]

no 2 sticks, why would I need more than 32GB

400 chrome tabs

[sly elk]

because the computer i built 5 years ago had 32gb?

[deep sapphire]

same here

and that was total overkill

[sly elk]

also my logic

[deep sapphire]

its still overkill now

[sly elk]

I have 4 ram slots

i want to use 4 ram slots

[deep sapphire]

yeah but if it dont work on either platform

whats the point

no sense in not having a working computer

these companies cant release anything that works anymore

hell my airpod pros gen 2 have terrible battery drain issues

EVEN APPLE LETTING ME DOWN

[sly elk]

yeeaaaahhh

[hard drift]

skill issue, mine don't drain quickly

[deep sapphire]

mine are horrible the case lasts like

2 days at best

with minimal use

[hard drift]

lol

[deep sapphire]

I shouldve fuckin brought em back

[hard drift]

i go like a week with my minimal use

[deep sapphire]

was too lazy though

[hard drift]

i don't need the volume loud though

[deep sapphire]

I max that shit out

im deaf from work

[hard drift]

i have mine at like 15% volume

[deep sapphire]

wtf

[hard drift]

otherwise it starts to get loud

[deep sapphire]

nah ur fuckin with me

[hard drift]

i have sensitive ears lmao

i'm actually not

[hard drift]

my speakers stay at 6/100 hank

i'm not fucking with you lmao

[fair parcel]

128 GB for maximum Chrome performance

[late basalt]

Sounds like my pc headset

Headset @50%, global volume@50%, in-app master@25% and it still blasts my ears out

I fear for the neighborhood windows if I set everything to 100%

[modest moss]

is 2x32 that much more expensive than 4x16?

[paper tusk]

a quick lookie is 2x32 is cheaper than 4x16 (assuming same speed/latency)

[late basalt]

More expensive because of the pcb manufacturing probably

[dull garnet]

Windows should always be at 100%, volume done in hardware

[modest moss]

@sly elk just buy bigger sticks and run 2

[sly elk]

fuck that

[modest moss]

why not

[hard drift]

Aesthetics is why

[modest moss]

[sly elk]

I already said why

because 2 slots bugs me

[sly elk]

'front air dam delete' will probably be a real popular mod for those

[sly elk]

her legs don't look right

her dress doesn't look like she's sitting except at the knees >>

it's kinda hard to explain but it must be the way it's draping out. weird optical illusion.

[cerulean talon]

Imagine only having 32gig of ram., smh.

[sly elk]

ah

i wish I had better insight into what was going on there lol

[cerulean talon]

Also, the purple makes up for everything.

[sly elk]

6000 was posting maybe 30% of the time, but ran perfectly fine. 5600 posted 100% of the time and ran perfectly fine until suddenly it didn't

i had vsoc at 1.15v so i don't think there was any risk of damaging the cpu

but 'works fine until suddenly it doesn't' gives me eerie thoughts about the cpu

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, at this point, I tend to prefer mobo's with digital readouts for the boo.

*boot.

So I can debug /where/ it's failing in the boot cycle.

[sly elk]

I have that

[cerulean talon]

The numeric codes?

[sly elk]

yes, it was one of the reasons i bought the more expensive board lol

[cerulean talon]

Not just LED's, a full pair of 8 digit displays.

[sly elk]

yes, it's only 2

not 4 like an evga board 😄

[cerulean talon]

2 8 digits?

SHould give you all the major codes.

[sly elk]

but it's good nuff

so the interesting thing about that, is the difference between a good boot and a failed boot is really just the debug LEDs themselves haha

the codes it sits at the longest are 15: Pre-memory System Agent initialization is started
and Ab (when it fails it just sits here): Setup Input Wait

[cerulean talon]

That's normal.

[sly elk]

yea ^^

i'm going to try tweaking settings again

[cerulean talon]

Given that it's pre-memory, I'd heet the CPU.

*yeet.

[sly elk]

two suggestions I received were to use the ram's voltage spec (1.4v) instead of trying to short-change it, and to use a looser tCL of 32 instead of the 30

yeaaaa

that's a possibility

[cerulean talon]

The fact you went through 2 CPU's is weird though

[sly elk]

no?

i am using the one cpu

I never changed that

[cerulean talon]

Oh, 6000/5600 is the memory speed.

My brain went though those as AMD CPU revisions.

😄

[sly elk]

oh lol

i mean to be fair, 5600 is an amd cpu model

i'm using a 7800x3d

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, I recalled it was AMD, just not which one offhand.

I also just spent 4 hours debugging a 6900xt, only to find it was a .02hz refresh issue.

59.98 instead of 60.

[hard drift]

atleast you can debug yours

[cerulean talon]

Took 4 monitors to convice it to stop using a stupid refresh rate

.>

[hard drift]

[cerulean talon]

Then it was perfectly happy and posted good benches, so it's ready for it's next life.

[hard drift]

lol

what's the next life for it?

[cerulean talon]

Shipping it off to a friend so they can get a modern rig.

Too little vram for any use I'd have around my house.

Was originally grabbed as a dev rig for the gpu specifically, so it can go onto the next life happily

[hard drift]

oh okay

[cerulean talon]

Blargh, I think something screwed the grounding for my right monitor ;.; It's crashing every time I stand up from my chair.,

[paper tusk]

:<

sounds kinda like my new tv. there's a subpixel mask that's weird

so everything looks dithered in sdr contant

(since it's a newer model, it probably is for cost reduction)

[cerulean talon]

😦

[sly elk]

wait that's actually a thing

i thought that 60 vs 59.98 was a stupid rounding issue

[cerulean talon]

Of course it is.

My monitors are reporting it works for them (Because I've got a nasty inline hack turning HDMI into DP), but the DP converter doesn't support it.

So it crashes them.

[sly elk]

gg lol

remember the controller and firmware are probably made out of some random sweatshop

[cerulean talon]

Oh hell yeah.

But 2 25$ cables meant I didn't replace 3 4k monitors.

[sly elk]

i'm thinking about whether to put my old build in my old case and just get a new psu, or also get a new case for it haha

kinda tempted to just use it as a sim rig computer

but that will -shudder- drive costs up a bit huh xD

[cerulean talon]

[torpid kayak]

is an air blower worth it? For PC cleaning and perhaps general house-cleaning use? 🤔

[cerulean talon]

I find them to be hilariously under powered.

[torpid kayak]

even the one that is as big as your arm?

[cerulean talon]

I have an air compressor plumbed into my house.

On a more practical note, usually, yes, they're high volume, but not high pressure.

So they'll remove loose dust but anything packed in has issues moving.

[sly elk]

do you leave the compressor on 24/7?

or do you turn it off?

[cerulean talon]

I let it run 24/7, the system is air tight enough that it turns on for a couple minutes a day.

[sly elk]

oh ok lol

i'm used to those randomly making noise every 30 mins or so

[cerulean talon]

Naaaah.

You use some pipe dope and good teflon, and even the push fittings will hold air.

[sly elk]

how often do you use it?

[cerulean talon]

Not much recently, more when my PC was upstairs and I had more project space down here.

I've got an air graver and a few other tools under my workbench.

[sly elk]

neat

also you can fill your own tires haha 😄

[cerulean talon]

Yeah.

I also use it as a source for my airbrush.

@sly elk ^ Some of the in-house terminations for the art supplies. 😄

They're physically under that end-desk picture I usually take of the living room.

But every endpoint is individually regulated so we can leave the compressor high and have a buffer tank on the second floor.

[sly elk]

fancy

[cerulean talon]

There is no replacing an airgun at full power though to blast the dust out of a laptop.

[paper tusk]

nice

[sly elk]

-blasts dust-

-random chip gets broken off pcb-

-capacitor gets a hole in it-

[cerulean talon]

It was too weak to be part of my machine.

If it fell off due to some air, it's really not gonna like round two of cleaning with an iso dunk.

I would guess about 80% of the 'customer needs help loading' are that way

that's incredibly tempting

imagine putting an electric mod in it and infuriating a bunch of boomers

[deep sapphire]

Yeah right, I’d LS swap it

[umbral moss]

pfft

that's sacreligious but not sacreligous enough

[modest moss]

It's cool but a super clean classic truck would be cooler

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

yeah that sort of thing

[deep sapphire]

@languid lava sorry mazda isn’t on the list

[dreamy chasm]

Bought a 6700 xt after bargain hunting for a few months

[hard drift]

hopefully it treats you well

[dreamy chasm]

I'm buying a used card since prices for new things here are abhorrent

[deep sapphire]

Has an American car ever won that award lol, Japan is pretty exclusive with their own brands

[dreamy chasm]

I hope it goes well

[deep sapphire]

Well it’s not a 5700XT at least

[hard drift]

i hope for your sake it does too i am not going amd anymore

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/randy-savage-macho-man-oh-yeah-slim-jim-jerky-gif-5104348

[dreamy chasm]

I would've gotten it if I didn't get extra funds recently

[hard drift]

my card is dying after just barely over 2 years

[deep sapphire]

The 5700XT is a pile of dog poop avoid it at all costs

[dreamy chasm]

AMD's the only realistic choice here 🥴

6700 xts are going for around the same rate 3060s are

[hard drift]

the only realistic choices anywhere really since they have stock because nobody wants them 😭

[deep sapphire]

Just buy a 4090 to afk in limsa

[hard drift]

i refuse to play ffxiv again

[dreamy chasm]

@ icehunter

[hard drift]

ice has a 3090

@deep sapphire

[dreamy chasm]

close enough

[hard drift]

hank does that shit lol

[deep sapphire]

He has a 3090 it’s shamefully me

[hard drift]

BITCH YOU HAVE NO SHAME IN IT

YOU WILLINGLY AND PROUDLY DO IT

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

you got a pny?

[deep sapphire]

Yeah

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

They’re a good brand

[hard drift]

i'm trying for FE still

[deep sapphire]

Made in America

FE was out of stock

[dreamy chasm]

More for anyone who keeps up with pricing, I guess

PNY's always been solid

[hard drift]

yeah, it's out of stock here too

i just don't want to be burned by another brand so i'm trying for FE since they should be the most reliable

[deep sapphire]

PNY are the only 3rd party company that can make nvidia professional cards

[hard drift]

if i can't get one, i keep waiting

[hard drift]

i'll keep this in mind

[deep sapphire]

So I think they are worth trusting and so far it’s been fine except for the stupid auto fan profile

But that was an easy fix

[hard drift]

i mean if i were to buy it i'd be putting a block on it

[dreamy chasm]

I'm pretty sure the warranty on your card will matter more than the actual card itself, unless you're buying something with shit vrm/ram cooling

[hard drift]

so that is no problem

[deep sapphire]

Doing a full loop is expensive though

1000 bucks minimum

[hard drift]

not doing a full loop

[hard drift]

https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/kits-systems-and-aios/all-in-one-gpu/30438/alphacool-eiswolf-2-aio-360mm-rtx-4090-reference-design-with-backplate?c=23047 this is what i'd put on it

i used it for my 5700xt and it's a solid cooler

[deep sapphire]

That’s…. Actually very affordable wtf

[hard drift]

yeah it's great

they have a bunch of different ones and i've been using them for my blocks

my 6900xt just didn't have an aio

[deep sapphire]

Alpha cool is a decent brand, not as good as EK but an EK block is like 350 bucks just for the block

[dreamy chasm]

Somewhat unrelated but

[hard drift]

it's the full thing

[dreamy chasm]

It's always been somewhat weird to me when people invest a lot into watercooling a system when they only have midrange parts

[deep sapphire]

Yeah I noticed

[deep sapphire]

Lmao ikr

[hard drift]

yeah, i mean there's of course the potential to upgrade but most don't lol

[deep sapphire]

It’s pretty much pointless now days when overclocking is almost pointless

[dreamy chasm]

Saw a decked out 4690k / 970 system with a loop that probably cost about the same as the whole system back when those parts were new

[hard drift]

still can get a decent bit out of the gpu

[dreamy chasm]

when they could've just gotten an aircooled 980ti/4790k system with the money

🥴

[deep sapphire]

Most of the 4090 coolers are already over engineered

[hard drift]

btw that one i sent will work for your card

[deep sapphire]

Bruh

[hard drift]

just incase you wanted it lol

[deep sapphire]

[dreamy chasm]

[hard drift]

LMFAO

[dreamy chasm]

The good old days

[deep sapphire]

If I can just get the block I’d rather make my own loop

[dreamy chasm]

back when 3.5gb 970s were the worst thing to ever happen in gpu releases

[deep sapphire]

I have a tube bender for work so that’d be a fun project

[hard drift]

you can, i just prefer using an aio i'm too stupid to figure out all the parts lol

[deep sapphire]

That sweet class action settlement

My buddy Nick got like 38 bucks

[dreamy chasm]

nice

[hard drift]

you can also disconnect the hoses to extend the loop to your cpu

[deep sapphire]

Now imagine if you built an FX 8350 and 970 combo

You got a lawyers wet dream system going

[hard drift]

CURSED FX 8350

still the most reliable cpu i had lmfao

[dreamy chasm]

awful single core

[deep sapphire]

Lmao AMD got sued for it

[dreamy chasm]

the only thing they had going for them was the cost

[deep sapphire]

“It’s an 8 core”

[hard drift]

as they should

[hard drift]

it wasn't even priced that well originally

[deep sapphire]

The 8150 was even worse, some benchmarks showed it got beat by the existing Phenom II X6 1100T

[dreamy chasm]

They eventually were flying off the shelves for the price of i3s iirc

could get an 8320e + 990fx board for cheap

and just overclock it

but

overclocking a turd doesnt really

make it any less stinky

[deep sapphire]

Remember the

9950

[dreamy chasm]

9590

it came with

a 120 aio

and still ran hot

[deep sapphire]

Wasnt it 4.9 GHZ or something stupid

But it ran at like 400w

[dreamy chasm]

sec

I'll dig up the

reviews

[real edge]

sounds like intel /s

[hard drift]

gear 2

[deep sapphire]

Playing battlefield with no AC on

[hard drift]

you hate yourself that much?

[dreamy chasm]

god

you know these reviews are old when sli was the standard for cpu reviews

[hard drift]

lmao

i remember reviews using sli

[deep sapphire]

SLI worked fairly well back then

I had dual GTX 580s and got near perfect scaling in battlefield 3

[real edge]

if sli was still viable

[deep sapphire]

Which was what I primarily played

[real edge]

I wonder how a triple 4090 sli would be like

[deep sapphire]

Lmao require 2 power supplies

[dreamy chasm]

230w stock, pushed 350w+ if you wanted a space heater and overclocked it

[deep sapphire]

US outlets can only output like 1600 watts

[dreamy chasm]

SLI used to work well on paper but, stuttering never really

stopped being a thing compared to single gpu

iirc

same story for crossfire

[hard drift]

i mean you still could with dx12 or vulkan but then it's a bunch of software overhead

[deep sapphire]

Which sucked because Microsoft made that a big selling point

[dreamy chasm]

im glad amd stepped up in the cpu space eventually

[deep sapphire]

We still haven’t seen shit out of DX12 ultimate

[dreamy chasm]

5% gain on 14nm per generation from intel

[hard drift]

yeah it's never coming at this point lmao

[dreamy chasm]

it is what it is, ig

[deep sapphire]

Skylake was a decent architecture but yeah 4 core lasted too damn long

[dreamy chasm]

Unless they manage to make multi GPU something that game developers don't have to code for

I heavily doubt any form of adoption's going to come

[deep sapphire]

Yeah parallel computing is always going to be a nightmare

[hard drift]

one gpu for general stuff, another for ray tracing

[dreamy chasm]

that

reminds of

dedicated physx cards

[hard drift]

i know there was originally talk about a ray tracing accelerator card lmao

[dreamy chasm]

back when that was an actual thing

they probably tried it

and figured the latency wasn't worth it

heavily cut down chips for just ray tracing might've been cool, though

[hard drift]

yeah

[dreamy chasm]

You know what I want?

3d glasses technologies that don't suck

[hard drift]

lmao oh gosh

i remember those

[dreamy chasm]

[hard drift]

the tvs with 3d glasses and shit 😭

[dreamy chasm]

Well

I guess we have VR for that now

[hard drift]

lol

ar

[lost python]

really? thats kinda crazy when you consider that a space heater or toaster already gets really close to that

[hard drift]

wtf kind of toaster are you using

my toaster is like 500w can't imagine what a 1600w one is

[real edge]

he is using it right now to type these discord messages

[lost python]

4 slots easily go up to 1400w

[hard drift]

LMFAO

[hard drift]

yeah, i just read about it

no wonder people use it to take a bath

[lost python]

i wish but razer never ended up making that toaster

[hard drift]

[hard drift]

commission someone on etsy to do it for you

[lost python]

[cerulean talon]

What kinda weak toaster you got?

Toaster ovens are the way. nods

Need 1800w of toasting power.

[hard drift]

we have a toaster oven but our apartment kitchen is too small to support it and have reasonable counter space left

so we just have some shitty toaster

[cerulean talon]

Unfortunate, mine's shoved in the back corner where it takes out a little space, but is super accessable, assuming I don't have the induction cooktop up.

[hard drift]

lol

[cerulean talon]

I need to see if I can figure out where the supposed 220 line is in my kitchen. I /really/ want to just put a full induction cooktop and be done with it.

[minor hollow]

imagine not having a salamander in your home kitchen

[dreamy chasm]

I wonder if you can take an FX 9590 and two 590s in SLI and turn it into an oven

[minor hollow]

It'll turn your home into a fire insurance claim

[cerulean talon]

My house already might as well be.

Besides, why keep a salamander in the kitchen when you can just keep a propane charcoal starting torch.

Thing's pretty much a flame thrower anyway.

[minor hollow]

Propane?

Nah bro

Salamanders can heat 50% hotter than an open propane flame

Actually scratch that

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, but this doesn't require any plumbing.

[minor hollow]

I saw that in marketing materials

I don't know that I believe the claim

[cerulean talon]

IIRC salamanders just chunk gas at the problem, so I could see that heat being higher than a propane torch.

[minor hollow]

So I shouldn't repeat it

I think its the containment

[cerulean talon]

Of course, if you're really seriously, just break out some OG MAPP.

[minor hollow]

Just hit my steak with the MOAB

[cerulean talon]

Or the oxy-acetyline nods

[minor hollow]

Sprinkle some white phosphorus

For extra war crimes flavor

[cerulean talon]

Ooooh. Tig weld your steak.

Technically it should be sorta-conductive.

[minor hollow]

Imagine welding a wagyu and watching it evaporate

Gone

Reduced to ashes

[cerulean talon]

Sell it as low-fat wagyu nods

[minor hollow]

That's what you get when you order a wagyu burger

That should be criminal

Death penalty

No appeal

Straight to the firing line

[cerulean talon]

I unironically like wagyu burgers, but I sous them exclusively to a rare.

Screw ordering one from somewhere that's gonna griddle them.

[minor hollow]

Never liked sous but I already knew how to cook before immersion circulators became popular

So for me it was another way to do something I was already good at

And we all hate change

[cerulean talon]

I like it for how lazy I am, at this point I mostly do all my prep on a sunday, vac it, then finish it for dinners.

[minor hollow]

Understandable. People like it and they're not wrong to

Personally I just don't like it

[cerulean talon]

At the same time, it entirely lacks the char of an excellently done steak.

[minor hollow]

Yeah

[cerulean talon]

Which is disappointing.

[minor hollow]

My dad swears by sous vide steak and after multiple visits and attempts I can do a pretty close approximation at his house

[cerulean talon]

It's what got me more into cooking.

[minor hollow]

Its not as good a sear as i get in the kitchen at work

But its as good as you can typically get on an anemic home stovetop

[cerulean talon]

It's why I keep the charcoal lighter around.

[minor hollow]

Induction is in between

The one step I find for sous vide is you gotta get that exterior bone dry

I mean as dry as humanly possible

Before the sear

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, of course.

[minor hollow]

Wring it out like a towel if you must

But at that point it's not really a time or energy save I find

As opposed to taking out a raw steak, salt & peppering it and leaving it on a cooling rack to dry out and come to room temp

Then finishing it in the oven

What sous vide saves you is the risk of forgetting it in the oven

[cerulean talon]

I can go either way with it, tbh I'd rather just cook it on a grill, and that's what I'm replacing over oven-finished.

[minor hollow]

You can fire and forget it in the immersion circulator then baby the fuck out of it during the sear

So margin for error or carelessness is reduced

[cerulean talon]

Yarp.

[minor hollow]

In that regards I am pro sous vide, since it raises the baseline for properly cooked meat and thats always a plus

[cerulean talon]

The other thing I like is cooking entire meals in a pouch, so I only really do dishes once a week, save for serving platters and the rice maker.

There's no replacement for simmering a tomato sauce, but cooking meatballs in the sous with it's sauce is something I'm working out and loving slowly.

[minor hollow]

I make colossal batches of bolognese at work and freeze them

The rest of the sauces come together fast enough

[cerulean talon]

Makes sense, unfortunately, industrial scale cooking is difficult at home. 😄

[minor hollow]

Yeah

You know what makes a bolognese pop though?

"Cajun seasoning"

[cerulean talon]

I usually do a gallon or two of tomato based anything at a time.

I mean, cajun seasoning is a pretty wide variety depending where you are in the south.

[late basalt]

Bill cooking is great when it’s stuff you can freeze in portions and keep it available for months afterwards

[cerulean talon]

Or just adding some auctual spice so it's not a flat sauce?

[late basalt]

Bulk phone, not fucking bill, bulk

[minor hollow]

D'allesandro

The Cajun i use

Don't need much else, salt & pepper and some red pepper flake

Garlic, onion, dicedtomato, paste

And wine ofc

[cerulean talon]

Never tried that one. I usually just chunk a bunch of calabrian chilies into mine for heat and flavor w/ the standards.

[late basalt]

Get some of the cheep craft baggies from Walmart or w/e and you can make pre-measured batches of spices ahead of time

That way you aren’t having to measure it out every time

Just open and dump and go

[minor hollow]

Man speaking of pepper I remember when the Syrian war broke out and they interviewed a local chef who was like "oh man this will affect the supply of Aleppo pepper"

I was like "people are dying man"

[late basalt]

Was it a British chef?

[minor hollow]

Nah I'm American

British don't use spices

[late basalt]

Ah

[minor hollow]

[late basalt]

No but they’ll fight over them

[minor hollow]

I also make my bolognese in quantities of like 15 gal so no point in premeasuring

Gotta stir it with an oar

Not actually but feels like it

[late basalt]

Get out the drill and sanitary paint mixer

[minor hollow]

Knew a baker who accidentally turned on their stand mixer while fitting a dough hook

Surprised his fingers were still attached

[late basalt]

Was his name Peter by any chance?

[minor hollow]

Nah something italian

Worst I've done to myself is mandoline off a bit of my palm

[late basalt]

🤔 think the joke fell flat

[minor hollow]

Like his dough

[late basalt]

He was probably making pasta

Welp, time to take a 25 minute nap and regret it

LOL my deviantart, kroger app, PSO-world and dell passwords are compromised xD

[hard drift]

doesn't matter the length if you reuse them

makes them less secure

i would never steal to make money

[umbral moss]

don't become a stockbroker then

[wraith agate]

I would absolutely steal

No remorse

[hard drift]

[hard drift]

but why

[umbral moss]

that's how you get rich

poor people die knowing they didn't steal, rich people just come up with ways to not get caught

[wraith agate]

The rich can steal without remorse, so why can't I?

[hard drift]

because you're better than them

[umbral moss]

[wraith agate]

Nnno, not really

[hard drift]

[umbral moss]

like, look, finbros make $750k a year literally doing nothing but skimming off the top

nothing they do at their jobs provides any value to society

it's quite literally legalized theft

[minor hollow]

They make the middle class marginally richer and keep most of the profits

Except when they lose, they lose your money not theirs

[modest moss]

so I play on NA from UK

my usual ping to Aether is 147ms ish

thought why not try a vpn so I installed mudfish and configured it

got 155ms and 162ms ping depending on whether I used their automatic node selection or manually picked a west coast node

gg vpn

[sly elk]

yea the trick to white collar crime is to not steal from other rich people

as long as they can't afford a lawyer and it's "not worth hiring a lawyer for that"

on a slightly related note

ya know how people talk about what color car is more likely to get pulled over? I think it's not the color that matters

it's the apparent value of the car that matters most

if the car looks like the driver can afford a good lawyer, they probably won't get pulled over for something trivial like window tint

TFW: someone posts a battlestation picture showing a nice camera on their desk, but takes the picture with a crappy camera, so everyone can see they have a nice camera.
