[night heron]

pineapple belongs on kebab

[young bloom]

i now understand why italians do not like it on pizza

[vapid smelt]

and burgers

[night heron]

their pride is too big

if it tastes good it belongs

[manic torrent]

base of hot chips, covered in cheese, covered in lamb and chicken, with garlic, bbq and chilli sauce. fuck yeah

[young bloom]

ananas is for snacks not for eating with a meal

[manic torrent]

I can feel my arteries hardening as we chat

[young bloom]

💀

[night heron]

why are you using the scientific name for pineapple

can i have a slice of ananas comosus please

[night heron]

as god wills it brother bob

[manic torrent]

Inshallah

[young bloom]

im not

thats how ur supposed to say it

[night heron]

says who

[young bloom]

the rest of the world except english speaking nations

[night heron]

ive never heard any spanish person call it anana

[young bloom]

i have

[night heron]

it's always pina

[manic torrent]

The question is: why did the English adapt the name pineapple from Spanish (which originally meant pinecone in English) while most European countries eventually adapted the name ananas, which came from the Tupi word nanas (also meaning pineapple).

This is pure speculation, but it may have to do with the fact that there were English colonies in the New World, and these had lots of trade with the Caribbean. If the fruit was called by one name in the Caribbean and a different name in Spain, the English could easily have ended up using the Caribbean name, while the rest of Europe used the Spanish name.

but.... that's historical

currently, spanish just uses piña

[young bloom]

do you say potato or potato

[night heron]

i have quite literally not seen anyone refer to it as anana before today

[young bloom]

ananas

[young bloom]

its not plural

[night heron]

french opinion = invalid

[manic torrent]

basically .... different things have different names in different places. AND, although this doesn't apply here - the things that the words describe often change, but the words stay the same.

[young bloom]

#off-topic check rq

i cant send media 😭

[night heron]

green boys dont get to decide what name i use for ananas comosus

Make sure to check your modem settings. Comcast nerfed wifi out of the box on my new modem

they're pretty much the same. RX 6400 should have much better overclocking headroom though

Oh, about the Wi-Fi

It kinda makes sense to why it’s like that tho

I saw someone had wired a breaker switch so that it couldn't trip.

quick question, when cable says type c to hdmi

is it also reversible?

[manic torrent]

As a rule... No.

You can get reversible USB c to displayport, certainly

[errant valve]

that would suck

[manic torrent]

Not really

You just need to understand your options

What are you trying to achiebe

[errant valve]

I saw the box, and picked up an 8k 60 cable for my samsung odyssey oled

it only takes micro hdmi, type c, or micro dp

[wary summit]

north somthing...

[errant valve]

that's what my instincst are telling me

[wary summit]

idk what i even clicked tbh

[errant valve]

I spent half my day yesterday

looking for a hdmi to microhdmi 8k cable/adaptor

I end up only finding the type c to hdmi, which I didn't read the box properly

cause i was looking for hdmi to type c for my gpu to monitor

Verbatim is the one I got

[errant valve]

the cable brand

[wary summit]

lemme guess, overpriced?

[manic torrent]

... no

a USB C to HDMI cable is really a DP->HDMI adapter

but the pins are in a USB C shape

[errant valve]

luckily I can still return the cables

the shop owner said they didn't know so they just said try it out and if it doesn't work bring it back

[manic torrent]

yep

what you want is a bidirectional DP to type C cable, assuming that's what you want

or just the right converter. I mostly get this stuff from amazon, because you need very specific stuff.

Because of the complexities of my setup, I have something like... errr.. 12? More? Various different cables, and a host of adapters.

[errant valve]

best case senario, I find the hdmi to micro hdmi

[manic torrent]

12 HDMI
1 DP
3 DP to HDMI
2 miniDP to HDMI
1 HDMI to mini HDMI

pretty sure I have a micro hdmi in there somewhere

Idk how to define it.

The Federal Republic of Germany, as a federal state, consists of sixteen states (German: Länder, sing. Land; colloquially also (sing.) Bundesland/(pl.) Bundesländer, "Federate State/s").[1][2] Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen (with its seaport exclave, Bremerhaven) are called Stadtstaaten ("city-states"), while the other thirteen states are called Flächenländer ("area states") and include Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia which describe themselves as Freistaaten ("free states").

What unicorn HDMI cable?

[wise tundra]

Should I set my Mac Mini to use 75Hz or variable (48-75Hz)? I hear people praise variable refresh rate but idk what's the better in it

[fervent prairie]

Variable refresh rate synchronized to fps ie freesync or vsync yes. Not sure if a Mac even supports variable refresh rate.

[unkempt widget]

variable

[wise tundra]

It suggests it in the settings

[fervent prairie]

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212232
Not sure how MacOS will handle 48-75hz when it tries to sync it to the "content that's on your screen".

[night heron]

it does because promotion displays are variable refresh, but support is hit or miss with non-apple branded displays

a lot of people experience flickering while using freesync on gaming monitors

variable refresh was added with macos monterey

[wise tundra]

I think I had flickering while using HDMI. Just got my USB-C to DP cable and I can't see anything wrong

[fervent prairie]

I knew that it works with apples displays/laptops. Wouldn't surprise me if apple expects it's customers to use apple displays only for a "good experience"🦆

why does lbs make everything sound so much more than it is

not an actual question but like jeez

[unkempt widget]

hmm, sounds like your on your own

[sterile haven]

200 pounds sounds much more intimidating than 90 kgs

[unkempt widget]

holup
200 pounds is the same as 90kg?

i always thought 90kg was obese, while 200 pounds was above average weight

[night heron]

depends on your height and bodyfat percentage

[sterile haven]

Nah, I weigh 90 kg and I'm definitely not "obese"

Definitely overweight, but not obese

[unkempt widget]

that was an exaggeration lol

90kg sounds like a lot, but 200 pounds sounds meh

[sterile haven]

the number 200 sounds larger than 90 to me because ive never used pounds in my life

i guess its different if you use pounds

[night heron]

i’m american and 200lb sounds heavier than 90kg even though i know they’re the same

[unkempt widget]

wtf

[sterile haven]

exactly my point

[night heron]

the script flips a lot when you increase the first digit to 2

but i’m pretty sure the average is 5’9 200lb in america

[sterile haven]

im 5'6 and 200lb

trying to lose weight though

[night heron]

same

[sterile haven]

or well, body fat

[night heron]

same on the losing weight part, not the proportions

[sterile haven]

my goal is eventually to reach the 154-165 lbs range

yeah losing weight feels more daunting in lbs than in kg

im gonna focus on losing like 10 pounds or something at first

[night heron]

i wish u luck with whatever ur goals are

[unkempt widget]

good luck
don't aim too big for losing weight, you'll lose motivation if you aim too big

my weight is spiraling out of control lol

[timid meadow]

Its slow. Dont be hard on yourself. I hyperfocused on the gym for like 2 weeks then got super busy and couldn't go now i need to get myself back in that mindset

[sterile haven]

I feel like I shouldn't hyperfixate on my weight because I don't wanna develop a self hatred spiral

But I feel like my mind is healthy enough to set small goals

[timid meadow]

Just try to in general burn more then your eating (what i do, im not a doctor) and youll be healthier then most people

[sterile haven]

its not really about the number of kilogrammes i am, its more about health, risk prevention, healthier habits

like i gotta get off sodas and im working on that, went from probably drinking 4-8 liters of coke a week to maybe like 2 liters total

[timid meadow]

Ive been good about soda but these arizona rx energys are liquid dopamine

[sterile haven]

i am a coca cola addict

And I wanna get off of it completely

water, milk, a soda once in a while when im at a restaurant or special event

[timid meadow]

I watched my dad slowly give himself diabetes standing in front of the tv with 2ltrs of coke. I like it, but i try not to have it more then once a month or so

[sterile haven]

see thats why i wanna get off of it completely

my consumption of soda has been so large since i was like 6 years old and its time i try getting off that stuff

[timid meadow]

He was never super overweight, but when you drink more coke then water itll kill you (hes still here so far no morbid)

[sterile haven]

i havent moved on to drinking more water than coke yet

im on coffee right now

i dont drink coffee everyday maybe once a week

rest of the time water, on the weekends maybe like a glass or two of coke

[timid meadow]

I try to make sure i start the day with 1ltt bottle full and fill it again at least once before i leave work. More on days i workout. Never measured exactly how much that is vs what i should drink but seems to work well enough

[sonic barn]

I just drink water

And some orange juice for electrolytes

[sterile haven]

i asked some people i know how they only drink water

[timid meadow]

Dude the Riot client shouldnt be this hard to uninstall. Thats wild how long it took

[sterile haven]

and they're just like "i never got into sodas"

[night heron]

switch to diet soda first, don’t cut out soda entirely

[timid meadow]

Diet is worse depending on your goals. Fake sugar

[sterile haven]

i tried the diet soda thing, that shit is just

[night heron]

wrong

[sterile haven]

me no like taste of aspartame

[night heron]

the safe daily dose of aspartame is like 53 cans of diet pepsi, both the FDA and the european drug association have done extensive research

[sterile haven]

id rather just slowly quit soda altogether

[night heron]

and diet soda has been proven to reduce cravings and help weight loss in numerous trials

[sterile haven]

coke zero lol

[night heron]

a lot of people hate diet mtn dew but it doesn’t seem that offensive to me

what i do find offensive tasting is diet orange soda of any kind

although i don’t like any orange soda so

[sterile haven]

fanta is the only good orange soda

[night heron]

i don’t think i’ve ever had fanta truly

[timid meadow]

Only diet or 0 i like the flavor on is powerade 0

[sterile haven]

but i like fanta grape more, apparently thats the soda with the most sugar

[night heron]

i’m not a fan of most soda

but i’ll get down on some ginger ale or diet pepsi

[timid meadow]

Most of my soda drinking is when a new weird flavor drops

[night heron]

i think the energy drink market has a lot more interesting flavors but they’re so expensive

[timid meadow]

Jones Turkey and Gravy was hilariously disgusting

[sterile haven]

we have energy drinks that taste great and are really cheap

[night heron]

i’m not paying $3 for one 16oz can when i can get a 2 liter of diet store brand soda for $0.96

there are $1 energy drinks here too but it’s still a lot more expensive than other drinks

[sterile haven]

0.55 usd for 500ml

[timid meadow]

Arizona always 99 cents unless your in a scammy 1.29 area

[sterile haven]

arizona is like 2 bucks here cuz its an import

[timid meadow]

Rip

[night heron]

my favorite energy drinks are:
rockstar punched
bang pina colada
bang peach mango

[sterile haven]

i dont like arizona iced tea tho

[night heron]

i get a zona green tea every now and then

[timid meadow]

Strawberry Arnold palmer or rx energy top 2

[night heron]

i’ve never seen strawberry arnie

sounds nice tho

[timid meadow]

A bit more sweet and less acidic then the regular.

[night heron]

never buy any birthday cake or rainbow themed bang energy drink, id genuinely rather drink wall paint than have another sip of “rainbow unicorn” bang energy

worst liquid i’ve ever put in my mouth and it’s not close

[timid meadow]

If you like store brands you can go even cheaper with syrup and co2 carts

[night heron]

that’s effort and i rarely drink soda but i appreciate the tip

[sterile haven]

i hate the fact that i cannot control my water cooler's RGB

[night heron]

it’s stuck on rainbow cycle?

[sterile haven]

[night heron]

if you’re asking about performance benefit there’s essentially zero

[night heron]

it’s mainly acoustics and aesthetics these days

you can measure a temperature drop but it’s impossible to notice the performance uplift if there is any

[brave lodge]

howd my pc part list look?

[neat gull]

overkill

not a bad thing

[brave lodge]

ive heard

everyone hating on the 300hz minitor

[neat gull]

it is pretty unnecessary unless ur into like super competive games, like if u play for cash prizes

[night heron]

240hz is an incredible smoothness improvement over 144hz in my opinion

[neat gull]

as someone that uses 240hz, it was a wast of money for me, im going to buy a 165hz monitor

[quiet jackal]

can someone help me optimize my pc for the best performance that includes overclocking of cpu and gpu

[night heron]

i guess you can’t notice it

[neat gull]

oh i can notice it when i play games that actually hit that high

i play a variuety of games and mostly single player games that dont go far above 150fps

[night heron]

yeah it’s very difficult to hit 240 in new and demanding games

from a cpu single core performance bottleneck

which is why i’m excited for frame generation to improve

[bleak cobalt]

hello

[azure pewter]

Uh anywhere where its good to buy hdd in bulk

I need 500tb

[wispy marsh]

I would rather have what they have in the new PSVR

Only render what you see at high resolution and dramatically lower the resolution of the rest 80% of the screen

[dense coral]

That's a lot of hertz

[gilded plinth]

Just wondering what drives you want

[azure pewter]

Ideally 7200rpm drives with raid support for them

Need to store a ton of ai training data for either what will be a brilliant idea or a joke of an idea

[gilded plinth]

Sounds a bit expensive

[azure pewter]

Yea

But in theory if i can pull my idea off

Itd make billions

[dusty rune]

why stop there? make it make TRILLIONS!

[azure pewter]

Maybe, but like, the idea is unethical

[gilded plinth]

Well if it doesn't work out you will at least end up with 500TB of storage

[azure pewter]

Yay

[neon mesa]

are there ARGB hubs that connects to internal USB

my motherboard don't got even a single RGB header

[night heron]

i don’t think foveated rendering would do anything to alleviate a cpu bottleneck

[wispy marsh]

Then don't have a cpu bottleneck

[night heron]

impossible

even a 7950x3d or 13900ks are going to limit you in many new and demanding games if you’re trying to hit 240fps

most people just don’t run into these issues because they either don’t have the gpu power or aren’t trying to hit 240

[wispy marsh]

Uhh

No

I'm tired

Imagine the usb hub sending anker your keystrokes, data and all that

[dull tapir]

yes i found this one for 20eur most were thrown out as 50eur

btw does amazon sell 105 and 205 lubes cheap as keygem since i am already paying for shipping

most i see are for 30eur

not the cheap ones for 10eur

anker is out of stock

accele is available

[polar fern]

@night heron https://a.co/d/i4vKBmS

You plug it in to power with a separate wall adapter and USB cable, so if the adapter or the cable get damaged, you don’t have to throw away the entire hub

Pro tip: don’t buy Amazon basics for electronics.

[dull tapir]

what is that

an amazon basics

[polar fern]

?

It’s Amazon’s brand x junk

[dull tapir]

what like third party sold on amazon

[polar fern]

No

[dull tapir]

a lot are same as on aliexpress

[polar fern]

It’s an Amazon brand & they’re all junk/ripoff of other products

[dull tapir]

thx i have never heard of it like before

[polar fern]

Best to avoid

[dull tapir]

so amazon basics usb type c is not good

[polar fern]

It’s all garbage

[dull tapir]

what about the rest of chinese brands on amazon

[polar fern]

Depends.

But Amazon basics brand stuff is predatory.

The 5-6 letter no-name brands at least put out their own stuff

[dull tapir]

i guess i will check some power strips and usb hubs at retailers then since hardly any else ship to slovenia on amazon because i am buying quntis monitor light and xbox one controller with dongle on amazon

and i pay for shipping so i thought i would get some stuff

also thought i would get lubing set on amazon but there is no krytox like 105 or 205

[polar fern]

Yeah avoiding scammy unethical knockoff stuff can be tricky

[dull tapir]

i usually get all stuff on aliexpress since no shipping

[polar fern]

I see

[dull tapir]

never had issues with cheaper stuff

[polar fern]

I have.

[dull tapir]

i had more broken stuff from amazon with expensive brands than cheap aliexpress ones

i bought a lot of coiled cables and usbs there and all work even for for years

but on amazon i did get so many damaged products

some items looked like they were stabbed with sand on them

[runic lagoon]

There lots of drop shippers on Amazon. They’re just selling you ali at a markup.

none of usb type c ones ship to slovenia

[analog umbra]

yeah fk 4000 series im looking at those price tags

but if im going to shell out 1700 minimum for a gpu then it better stay as a top of the line gpu for a while

[polar fern]

Would never spend that much on one component

[analog umbra]

theres no point, i might as well just get a £1500 build with an rtx 3090 and switch later

the performance on the 4090 is looking spicy but the more i look at those price tags... my middle finger keeps going up more and more

fking the cheapest build with a 4090 that i could put together on pcpartpicker was 2600

I've hated all my Windows laptops until my current one

[gilded plinth]

Does your "Windows laptop" actually run Windows tho?

[small bolt]

granted i still have my previous one but it's running arch

Yeah most of my issues with Windows laptops are just issues inherent to windows ngl

[vestal island]

What is ur personal favorite laptop!

[polar fern]

Mhm

Need to clean my desk

Takes about an hour to clean because of cables

[small bolt]

@vestal island My current favorite is my HP Victus 15" but my favorite design of all time is the IBM ThinkPad 701C

Everyone raves about Apple Silicon so I'm tempted to pick up a secondhand M1 MacBook Air as a secondary machine, though my main priority is something rugged

[vestal island]

I have an m1 MacBook Air and I’m just gonna say that it is overrated

[polar fern]

Would love a MacBook Air

[vestal island]

It’s good but over hyped

[small bolt]

How's the battery life? wouldn't be looking at one to use as a powerhouse, just for light productivity

[polar fern]

I don’t do hype
