Mine started stinking within 2 months last I had one

Idk if it was my farts or something else

[humble sedge]

does nvidia reflex affect FPS in some games? ive noticed i (seem) to get like 15-20 fps more in games when i have it off rather than on+BOOST, im playing rust at the moment

[vapid cypress]

Look in the other chat i shall show what i mean

[dull tapir]

is radiator too big tho

[feral island]

I dont what?

[neon mesa]

thanks to the genius m.2 placement of my asus mobo

it's sandwiched between the gpu and mobo

[harsh quartz]

Is that a problem?

[hazy parrot]

Looks fine to me

[neon mesa]

63C is not optimal

[hazy parrot]

Huh?

Is your ssd made of butter?

[safe fiber]

Fast M.2 SSD gets pretty hot

[agile siren]

consider using the slower m.2 slot where the gpu doesnt blow its air at. 60 degrees is quite a lot.

[safe fiber]

Or just get a heat sink.

[willow rose]

Anything above really 35 is rapidly decreasing your hardwares lifespan and even better still cook it. 😄

[safe fiber]

You can get a heat sink and it should help cool the SSD. Too easy.

[willow rose]

Even better get it an put it in the freezer over night. 🤣

Nothing beats a deep freeze PC.

[safe fiber]

Oh yes, icing up your SSD!

The liquid damage when it heats back up will be amazing!

[willow rose]

I don't think it will ever heat up again.

[safe fiber]

It would be dead

[willow rose]

Inddedead

or Indeedead.

[safe fiber]

I actually have a really old SSD

[hazy parrot]

[willow rose]

Problem solved on how to actually make sure your SSD never gets hot again. * Disclaimer no responsibility taken for the nimwit who dares to try.

[safe fiber]

And it still works to this day. It’s a Corsair neutron GTX. The 240gb. It costed like 200 dollars back then.

[willow rose]

https://www.urlvoid.com/scan/aliexpress.us/

Use the link I used if you ever sus about a website.

[safe fiber]

Looks like it’s from Alibaba so yeah it probably should be fine

[willow rose]

or use https://www.virustotal.com/gui/

Best bet is if in doubt don't buy there.

[safe fiber]

One suspicious in VirusTotal

[willow rose]

Yeah I saw that too.

[safe fiber]

I’ll tell the best bet to just not touch that website.

[haughty delta]

just making sure, this store is legit? (it says its official)
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005005614681338.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt

[harsh quartz]

Aight now it’s spam

[willow rose]

It's easy to say anything it's official. Most products on those are grey market and made from old chips etc etc.

[haughty delta]

chips?

[willow rose]

I could call myself the official CEO of ASUS and you can't prove or disprove my comment. The internet is a big place.

[willow rose]

Chipsets etc.

[hazy parrot]

Literal Doritos dude

[haughty delta]

I'm talking about a mousepad, not a CPU this time 😅

[haughty delta]

[safe fiber]

Who will pay like 50 bucks for a mousepad 💀

I legit paid like 25 bucks and it just works

Cheapest you can go for is a paper.

[haughty delta]

playing competitive for years, need something really good

[willow rose]

I'd rather just use an A4 piece of paper my son did some art on.

[hazy parrot]

Gamers dude.

[cedar pebble]

Same reason some people buy a stupid amount of rgb

[hazy parrot]

RGB ruined consumer pc hardware

[cedar pebble]

Gotta have 150w of rgb at all times

[haughty delta]

more RGB = more FPS 🤓 ☝🏻

[cedar pebble]

Factual

[willow rose]

My dual gpu has rgb and first thing I did was disable it.

[cedar pebble]

This is why I created a pcie rgb accelerator card 🙏

[safe fiber]

My pc don’t have a stupid amount on RGB

[cedar pebble]

More rgb = more fps

[hazy parrot]

How? Got some proprietary software running?

[cold prism]

Good mousepads are kinda expensive because they use real poron bases and are often hand stitched edges

No rgb though

[safe fiber]

To remove RGB, just desolder the goddamn light. It’s not even needed for it to run.

[haughty delta]

😞

[cold prism]

I set all the rgb in m build to low brightness white or off

[haughty delta]

https://tenor.com/view/ineedit-needit-spongebob-squarepants-need-it-gif-4883495

[hazy parrot]

The worst part is how much harder it is to get decent components without rgb

And to do anything with it, you gotta install multiple spyware

[graceful burrow]

Big ask for a lot of people nowadays

[willow rose]

RGB powered mouse pad to recharge ya mouse. 🤣

[haughty delta]

no G.I.Fs '='

[cedar pebble]

Orrrrr solder more on 😏

[graceful burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/embed-fail-epic-embed-fail-beatles-the-beatles-bcj-gif-21307198

[hazy parrot]

Mmm, the stuff is always in shrouds. Molded abs shrouds. Easier said than done

And risk bricking your hardware

[safe fiber]

There’s always a way to unbrick. Solder it back on it!

[willow rose]

If you look in most settings or the config file you can change the value to off on RGB or to 0.

[cedar pebble]

Someone go back in time and prevent this chip from being designed so rgb wouldn’t be in everything 😭

[hazy parrot]

The day hardware lets you configure with a text file….well that will never happen

[safe fiber]

Bro roasted us for not having floatplane ☠️

[willow rose]

I don't recommend the second unless you know what you are doing.

[haughty delta]

😭

[hazy parrot]

“Most settings or config file” man, if only.

The closest actual thing is openrgb, but guess what’s gonna need to be a startup

[vapid cypress]

Imagine not having bread role

[graceful burrow]

You have embed perms tf you talking about

[safe fiber]

I have bread role

[graceful burrow]

Bread role gives embed perms

Life is bread.

[vapid cypress]

Yes. But I still will laugh in bread role.

[haughty delta]

[dusty cloak]

Inspirational

Motivational

Deeply impactful

[willow rose]

Get the bread role y'all.

[haughty delta]

how?

[dusty cloak]

How

[safe fiber]

I’ll tell ya, it was a reaction role.

[willow rose]

By acting in front of everyone like life is like a loaf of bread.

[safe fiber]

It’s probably hidden somewhere

[graceful burrow]

You can't get the role anymore

[safe fiber]

Yeah

It was limited times. During the LTT drama.

I went into pinned and found the message for that so I reacted and got the role.

[cold prism]

[neon mesa]

solved my 3080ti overheating problem
partly
turns out the paste is crusty as fuck, i repasted
it helps with the temperature curve, but it still eventually hits the thermal limit
i assume that's where the crampy ass case restricting airflow comes in

though now i can actually train AI models without windows crashing

His final day

[sharp cradle]

i like the black friday sales. a mousepad, knife and beanie for like $20 plus shipping

[neon mesa]

just realized

got a beefy setup
still on my 1080p60 monitor and $10 logitech k120 keyboard

though that monitor is OCed to 75

priorities 💪

[sharp cradle]

very nice. i don't actually think knife is supposed to work with the mystery desk pad, but 🤷‍♂️

[dull tapir]

why

mystery

[neon mesa]

Nearly half of it being shipping and taxes is quite infuriating to see

[sharp cradle]

cheaper, and i don't care which mousepad i get

[sharp cradle]

honestly not that bad. i've been charged more for less before

[dull tapir]

what if it does not match your aesthetics

i am extremely picky when it comes to deskmats and everything

[sharp cradle]

besides the two colorful ones, they would all basically match. i used a black topo one right now

but also im in a college dorm, my setup is jank and not aesthetic lol

[plush jungle]

I need help finding a ps portal

[sharp cradle]

ebay

there is a bunch

otherwise wait 6 months for it to be in stock

[tranquil goblet]

I'm debating on what I should save up for first

[graceful burrow]

Idk why anyone would want it anyway lol

[neon mesa]

Linus kinda nuts with the ps portal review, it just doesn't make sense.

What he forgot is, we mostly already got a phone

So it's $200 for a glorified WiiU remote or essentially free using a phone

He used the backbone in the video but there are cheaper alternative that are as good

[harsh quartz]

What you seem to forget is the PlayStation customer base

They just want something that works, easily, no hassle

If they wanted something complicated they would have a PC

[neon mesa]

Ps remote play on your phone is as easy

[sharp cradle]

yea, but doesn't the phone thing also just work

[harsh quartz]

Honestly no idea

[full fossil]

ease of use alone makes it worth it for A LOT of people.

not for you and me.

[regal tinsel]

Omg it's out

Let's go secret shopper!!!!

[harsh quartz]

Does the phone thing require the PlayStation to be on the tv?

[neon mesa]

Are people braindead enough to not be able to operate the remote play app on the phone?

[full fossil]

I personally have Chiaki on my ROG Ally. I have no need for the PS Portal

[neon mesa]

Is it not easy enough

[harsh quartz]

Does the remote play thing require it to be on the tv?

[full fossil]

most people are 😦

[neon mesa]

Honestly if you're that braindead I don't think you'd have $200

[harsh quartz]

Why not? People buy new iPhones every year. People bought the PlayStation in the first place.

[neon mesa]

The playstation makes sense

[harsh quartz]

The PlayStation player base is who this is for

[neon mesa]

Setting up ps5 itself is already more complicated than using the remote play app on the phone

[harsh quartz]

People who spend 600$ just to play the same sports/racing games as last year

[sharp cradle]

i mean its worth the upgrade from the ps4 pro or whatever best last gen was

[full fossil]

$200 is not bad for a playstation product.

I don't mind if I get it for christmas. I ain't buying it lol

[sharp cradle]

its a glorifed screen. i get they are barely making money on it, but its just a shitty tablet

you can get a $100 android tablet and do the same thing

[full fossil]

if someone gave me this. ngl I'd be so happy

it has value.

FOR A PS5 OWNER*

[neon mesa]

PS users will justify anything.
At least iphone users got their good OS as a reason.
The portal is a literal screen

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but I know a lot of people who buy them just to play Fortnite and the newest sports games, fifa 2024 or whatever it is

[neon mesa]

Something your phone can already do

Better

[full fossil]

Chiaki on my ROG Ally is for free. so no thanks lol

[harsh quartz]

iPhone is a similar thing, it just works

[sharp cradle]

very true, if someone gets it as a gift, its not a bad prodcut

[full fossil]

yep. like an ipad. not something id buy for myself. ID LOVE IT as a gift

[sharp cradle]

higher fps is worth it tbh

[neon mesa]

Nothing is bad if it's a gift, it's free.

[harsh quartz]

Ehh

[neon mesa]

No shit sherlock kind of thing

[sharp cradle]

some things i wouldn't want as a gift

[harsh quartz]

This is a bad take Ngl

[neon mesa]

I'd love it to
I can sell it for 150 and get free money

Though, cash is the best kind of gift.

[full fossil]

my mom

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
Ur mom

[neon mesa]

Like i can buy things I actually want

[full fossil]

sorry my dog is freaking out brb

[neon mesa]

Rather then needing to avoid being rude receiving a gift I don't like, uncomfortable situation.
Then that gift end up in a closet to not be used.
Net loss for both sides

Cash is the best

[graceful burrow]

I always include a gift receipt when possible

[ionic abyss]

im not cyberpower support

[jaunty compass]

I never heard about it but nvidia actually brought VSR to rtx 2000 with the vsr 1.5 update

so i could grab a cheap 2060 or something for a media system for video upscaling

[harsh quartz]

The answer is yes, more egg rolls are always needed

[jaunty compass]

I'm surprised that they actually brought vsr to rtx 2000

I thought they were lying tbh

i just used revanced

[vapid cypress]

you can't run forever!

[jaunty compass]

you can't keep a video playing if your screen is off, so i can't listen to twitch vods as podcasts without paying for premium

so i use revanced because i'm not going to pay for that

ill never pay youtube for their overpriced premium

[hidden geyser]

Once again, I get very annoyed at the apparent disdain of email-"only" communication

It appears to be a habit that I have to suffer for what the "mainstream" wants

Oh, I am so sorry that you have magical genetics that makes phone calls easy for you

[tepid jasper]

wat

[glad junco]

Best z790 mobos apart from these models please ? MSI carbon or MPG, Aoruses or ROG strix.

[graceful burrow]

Check out a channel called no boilerplate on YouTube

Great related talks to that

Ok back to napping

[hidden geyser]

For me, phone calls give me panic, and I often end up forgetting to say what I need to say, which means important details get neglected

[tepid jasper]

is this all spoken communication ir just phond calls

[hidden geyser]

Spoken, but phones are especially bad with the paradox of distance

[tepid jasper]

wouldnt writing down main points help

if ur aware u have to take a call in advance

[hidden geyser]

I would have to remember to write them down, then remember to make a call (I am often late in this), and I would have to remember to reference my notes

Not nearly as easy as it looks

Additionally, even when I DO read my notes, my emotional state during the call makes me a mess, which makes me that meme essentially

[old yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/wat-gif-5001440307614895833

[jaunty compass]

I think it's more of that they prefer real time communication where a problem can be solved in one session to be an option

[hidden geyser]

Also, if the places that I am forced to call, all employ this archaic "Please wait while we get an agent" trick, that doesn't really justify the use of phone calls

[tepid jasper]

they also dont like paper trails

[hidden geyser]

Do not get me wrong, I am happy with live chat. The problem is that in my experience and my "city" loaded with elderly people, this is exceedingly rare as an option.

it's really soft and the hood has an orange trim on the inside

given it's actually getting cold where I live i'm glad i have it lol

[jaunty compass]

They're giving away a 4080 in like 3 weeks but all i care about is the giant plushie lol

[fierce moth]

Man rackmount cases are expensive

Like the one I wanna get for my server is 500 aud

[jaunty compass]

I was surprised I won the hoodie

As for the 4080 I have at worst a 1/20 chance
1/15 I think is what it'll probably be

[tepid jasper]

WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

oops caps

sorry, what do you have?

[jaunty compass]

some rando 650w psu

it's from evga i think

[tepid jasper]

what cpu>?

[jaunty compass]

the answer is a little weird

i7 11800h, but it's not a laptop

right now it's a 1/7 chance but it'll probably be 1/12 or 1/13 by then, i checked the leaderboard

but that's really not bad considering what the prize is lol

[tepid jasper]

oh

[jaunty compass]

a 4080 and a 1440p monitor

[tepid jasper]

it's a mobile chip soldered onto a desktop mobo pcb?

[graceful burrow]

Gonna be doing something worse in a few days

[tepid jasper]

i dunno, i feel like you'd be able to get away with a 4080 and that on a 650w psu

[jaunty compass]

yeah

[jaunty compass]

It's a pretty good chance for me to get it, i'll probably sell the monitor to buy a better psu so i can use the gpu

but the plushie is 100% since that's based on the person who has sent the most messages in the server in the past few weeks

and i've sent 2k more than the next person and it falls off pretty hard after that

it resets every 8-9 weeks

My nickname there is the real john microstar because i made that it for a joke

american toast is just toasted bread with jam on it or something

He is borderline hostile to specific details. In his eyes, using anything other than store-bought sliced bread, table salt, and anything else "standard" is automatically fraudulent

[dusky jacinth]

Lol whut.

[hidden geyser]

For example, he has repeatedly mocked me for daring to use parmesan in mac and cheese, and does anything in his power to have it excluded from the recipe

[white pawn]

how very odd. does he have a lot of food aversions?

[hidden geyser]

Yes, but that is down to his abrasive ignorance to detail

[dusky jacinth]

Wow, sounds like my brother, who's so up front about adding anything else, let alone doing differently anything he's had in a more packaged form, like for instance sloppy joe, but not using the canned ingredients. Lol.

[neon mesa]

Dutch toast
Bread butter and chocolate sprinkles

Tastes heavenly

[dusky jacinth]

Like he's actually resistant to having it done any other way, and this is with various things.

[neon mesa]

If you want extra diabetes, replace butter with nutella

[white pawn]

so, i'm an aggressive doofball, I would absolutely start watching Good Eats series out loud every time i was in the same room as him LOL and leave printouts of recipes all over the place 😛

[hidden geyser]

One aversion he has, is sugar, and he is AGGRESSIVE in the avoidance of sweet things, incapable of understanding that he is actually unique in the aversion (sugar intolerance in this case)

In his mind, since he has such a hard time with sugar, that is the "biological standard"

[white pawn]

i mean, i make a lot of things from scratch to reduce extra sugar/salt, cause alot of prepackaged stuff has salt/sugar added

[neon mesa]

Meanwhile my very low blood sugar keeps me constantly craving them

[dusky jacinth]

Honestly, with sweet things, I get some people being avert to it, but like... I'd rather say my own aversion with sweets is only towards stuff (usually processed) that are just... Sickeningly sweet or choose ingredients that just augment that sweetness to levels I physically cannot handle.

[neon mesa]

Even after munching bunch of them it's a measly 98
That's lower than a lot of people's empty stomach blood sugar level

[dusky jacinth]

My mom's the same way too.

[hidden geyser]

Fair, but that doesn't get to how downright comical it gets

[dusky jacinth]

It's... Probably an Asian thing I guess. Lol.
We don't do very sweet, but rather something more balanced as far as sweet foods go.

[white pawn]

yeah, honestly is there any way you can just get your own stuff and keep it in your room? or does he require you share anything you make?

[hidden geyser]

For instance, he is super stubborn about the "purity" of chocolate and coffee

[dusky jacinth]

Purity, eh?

[neon mesa]

Coffee snubs 💀

[white pawn]

(sorry, i can't help but try to solve problems LOL)

[hidden geyser]

I have seen him repeatedly fail to distinguish white chocolate from milk chocolate

[dusky jacinth]

Purity with chocolate honestly is like... To me, it just depends on what you really prefer.
I personally like dark up to around 70% or so, since going beyond that is too bitter to have more than one or two times, sometimes even overpowering that way.

[hidden geyser]

And his view of "actual" coffee? Pure espresso, with absolutely nothing added to it

[dusky jacinth]

Oh so he just likes it really strong then.

[hidden geyser]

Oh god, steak make me angry

[dusky jacinth]

... Well done?

[white pawn]

oh dear god, secret shopper part 3 needs serious trigger warnings! yeesh

[dusky jacinth]

That's my first guess.

[hidden geyser]

He is in the well-done-only-and-zero-exceptions crowd

[dusky jacinth]

Woooowww.

He really likes "paper" then. That sucks.

[white pawn]

my mom used to cook pork chops by taking a nice, inch or so thick chop, butterflying it into two half inch thick chops, then broiling those bastages until they were hockey pucks 😛

[dusky jacinth]

I'd only take well done if it's thick enough a cut, but for any other cut that's thinner, I'd rather have medium.

[hidden geyser]

He has been snide about the mere existence of terms like "rare"
How cute, Americans keep inventing new words for raw because they are incompetent at cooking

[dusky jacinth]

Except that I've seen the opposite and I keep finding a lot of people prefer medium over well done or raw.

Also, the people I know use rare and raw interchangeably apparently. Lol.

[harsh quartz]

medium-well is my go to

[hidden geyser]

Because of bullshit from him (and other reasons that I will not get into) I never had the experience of even medium

[dusky jacinth]

That I can respect, as it's all about keeping the juices enough to where it's not just dry.

[harsh quartz]

i dont like thick cuts of meat, and you always hear people say done get it well because it gets chewy, but if you do thin cuts of meat, they arent thick enough to be chewy

[dusky jacinth]

Lemme guess. He gatekeeps you from even getting anything done any other way on your time and terms too, doesn't he?

[hidden geyser]

Yep

[harsh quartz]

give em some rare chicken

[dusky jacinth]

[mental kayak]

same - though i do more of a medium well and that helps

[harsh quartz]

yeah, thats why i said i go to medium well

if you say well or well done, it just comes out black

[dusky jacinth]

I mean, you can technically make either cut chewy if you do it a certain way.

[hidden geyser]

Some of you might get a hint of what's going on, but I had to resort to eating bacon behind his back a few times

[dusky jacinth]

B r u h

[harsh quartz]

yeah, i just dont think thick cuts of meat taste as good either. i like a flank or skirt steak

[harsh quartz]

honestly bacon is mid, turkey bacon is better

[hidden geyser]

Opposite for me

[dusky jacinth]

I can stand either, honestly. I accept however they're done, just not badly.

[harsh quartz]

tbf its hard to get good turkey bacon

[dusky jacinth]

I'm indifferent to the difference sometimes, unless the result is always the same with how it cooks and then I might favor one or the other for a certain result in particular.

[harsh quartz]

only meat ive ever turned down was a raw hamburger (also that 20$ offer behind walmart but thats something else)

[hidden geyser]

Every time I eat turkey bacon, it always tastes off

It barely even taste like baloney

[harsh quartz]

bologna*?

[dusky jacinth]

Maybe that's the obstacle you're experiencing in being able to get behind it:
you're expecting it to taste similar in the back of your mind to normal bacon.

[harsh quartz]

yeah, its nothing like normal bacon, completely differeent texture and taste

[vapid smelt]

I prefer turkey bacon over regular bacon

[hidden geyser]

And most of it was before I had actual bacon for the first time

[dusky jacinth]

Hmm...

[harsh quartz]

tbf, i prefer regular bacon on stuff, like sandwhiches, but turkey bacon is better on its own, IMO

[dusky jacinth]

I barely paid enough attention to the difference to find a preference over either.

I usually eat any of them anyway. Lol.

[harsh quartz]

regular bacon makes me feel greasy

[hidden geyser]

My parents are like "meh, it is close enough. Now stop whining!"

[dusky jacinth]

My preference is for thicc cut strips.

[harsh quartz]

honestly i would rather have fish over red meats anyways

[hidden geyser]

Eh...

[harsh quartz]

gimme a white meat over a red any day

[dusky jacinth]

I'd have both together if I could.

[harsh quartz]

cant go wrong with surf n turf

[hidden geyser]

I think this is unique to me, but I cannot handle too much fish at one time

[dusky jacinth]

Burger and a side of sushi~

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/toadkingstudios-angry-toaster-noises-dj-twisted-toaster-toast-hopping-mad-gif-19484461

[dreamy rose]

sushi burgers they all taste good

[hidden geyser]

i wans sushi

[dusky jacinth]

Fair point.

[harsh quartz]

this is only okay if its fried sushi

[hidden geyser]

Now how about sushi tacos?

[dreamy rose]

they all taste good, they, all, taste, good

[harsh quartz]

sushi is already a burrito. a burrito taco?

[dusky jacinth]

I mean... Well, I guess I have yet to have fried sushi with a burger. I might try that type of combo eventually.

[harsh quartz]

it makes you feel a lil.... fishy?

[harsh quartz]

idk, its not a combo i would usually do, either sushi or a burger, typically theyre not at the same place

[hidden geyser]

No. It is so weird, but it fills me up super fast, and not in a pleasant way

[dusky jacinth]

Of course, so you have to buy them separately. Feels kinda weird to do, but after doing it, I find it kinda nice.

[harsh quartz]

i would rather just eat them on seperate days ngl

[dusky jacinth]

I'm only ever able to do that, even though I'd rather have both at once sometimes.

[harsh quartz]

this is called self preservation and you should listen to it

[hidden geyser]

I can only eat a small-ish chunk of fish before my mouth and body goes "how about no?"

[dusky jacinth]

Sounds more like "don't want to do something just mildly different" to me. Lol.

[harsh quartz]

i wanna try fugu

[dusky jacinth]

This only happened to me with the occasions of clams or fish that was actually not fresh.

Most particularly the latter. That was so bad...

[harsh quartz]

clams and muscles strike me as extremely disgusting and i cant bring myself to do it

[hidden geyser]

Given the asinine rules on fish in my province, I wouldn't be surprised

[harsh quartz]

common canadian L

[dusky jacinth]

They're too weird for me personally. I'd rather wrangle with shelling crawfish and having a mess over eating clams and the like.

[harsh quartz]

ive never understand "fancy fish foods"

like clams and muscles and caviar, just give me a good blackened trout and we gucci

[hidden geyser]

And actually, it wasn't better when I lived elsewhere (Singapore and Australia)

[dusky jacinth]

I would like to try high-end caviar at least once just for the sake of trying it.

[hidden geyser]

I love muscles, but cannot understand caviar for the life of me

[harsh quartz]

same, but i dont understand WHY its high-end

[dusky jacinth]

Like there are some things I'd like to try in my lifetime just for the sake of trying it.

[dreamy rose]

they are the same as eating chicken eggs. they are just fish eggs

[harsh quartz]

fugu for me

[hidden geyser]

Roe is okay, but it is just fish eggs. I fail to understand how caviar is any different

[dusky jacinth]

Because of the grade that is most desirable being harder to get.

[harsh quartz]

(also i wanna try dolphin and shark but thats not exactly legal ATM)

and ostrich

[dreamy rose]

what? shark? illegal?

[dusky jacinth]

Iiii'm against the idea of shark for health reasons, mostly involving their mercury levels.

[hidden geyser]

Specifically, the fish where caviar comes from is endangered, and a lot of protections have been installed to limit reckless fishing

[harsh quartz]

eating it once wont give me grey skin

[dusky jacinth]

Sure, but that is an unsafe level of what's considered a neurotoxin on the first go.

[harsh quartz]

i was thinking of shark finning specifically, i guess normal shark fishing is fine, like other fish, to an extent

but dolphin i dont think is legal

[harsh quartz]

only live once

[hidden geyser]

Back to topic, my dad is so rigid in status-quo cooking, he looks at me like an alien when I suggest squid ink as a pasta colorant/flavour

[dusky jacinth]

I have never heard of eating dolphin before, so that's kinda different.

[harsh quartz]

dolphin, fugu, shark, and ostrich is my list

[full fossil]

Goat balls

[dusky jacinth]

Hmm... Well, I think some people would be squeamish about that too. Though I guess introducing that concept of how that works in cuisine would basically be a paper airplane bouncing off a boulder metaphorically in your case.

[harsh quartz]

tbf, its not exactly a normal practice in an average household

[gilded quest]

Does it even taste good

[dusky jacinth]

Indeed.

[dusky jacinth]

Apparently it does.

[harsh quartz]

ive heard its pretty good in some pastas, its not a very strong flavor

[hidden geyser]

It has its own flavour profile in additional to the somewhat mild saltiness

[gilded quest]

Not saying this is why, but it's possible he may not prefer that flavor; if you were suggesting adding it to the whole pot instead of an individual serving

[hidden geyser]

Funny thing, he never even said that

His "issue" was how strange of an idea it apparently was

Meanwhile, I am pretty used to unconventional flavours and ingredients in food

[bitter girder]

Does anyone know a way or a modded version of google chrome for Android that gets rid of ads

No I'm not using Brave or Firefox. They both are clunky and I don't like their ui

[willow rose]

Use plugins that block ads but remember those ads do put food on somebodys table in some cases so be mindful of that.

[bitter girder]

I said Android. There's no plug in support for mobile chrome

[willow rose]

https://www.makeuseof.com/chrome-extensions-android-mobile/

[dreamy rose]

well use brave or be quiet

[bitter girder]

Didn't I said no Brave -

[hidden geyser]

IDK how much I can help with that

[dreamy rose]

well guess what? it's your only option unless you wanna fiddle around with making some kind of adblock for your own chromium fork

also what ae you defining as "Clunky" brave is perfectl;y fine

android and Desktop

[hidden geyser]

The lack of plugin/extension support in the wide scope of Android tells me that there is a (potentially artificial) limitation in the Android ecosystem

[willow rose]

Plus you can do it and it might take a bit of tweaking but you can do it to add plugins to your mobile browser.

[bitter girder]

I am kinda someone who prefers aesthetic over function at times.

And also Brave doesn't have that UI like Chrome.
And it's also missing an important feature (group tabs)

And I downloaded kiwi and yeah the UI is like Chrome but a version that I didn't like tbh.

So I'm just stuck with chrome I guess

[hidden geyser]

Well, I have my own reasons for my hostility and complete avoidance of Chrome and Chromium

[bitter girder]

I just don't wanna work around doing VPNs or DNS

[dreamy rose]

as far as i've seen. Brave and Chrome have basically the EXACT same UI

and as for being Form over function? thats dumb. a PC with RGB but a GTX 580 isn't as good as a non RGB one with a 7900XTX. thats the kinda thing Form over function is about

[bitter girder]

I said sometimes. Of course I would pick the non RGB one

[willow rose]

The RGB draw power and it might only be a bit but if you disable it and use that tiny bit somewhere else can make a difference.

[bitter girder]

And also Brave doesn't have group tabs

[low rain]

Idk how people fail school

This is lowkey easy

[hidden geyser]

Gotta be honest, the people that I seen be hostile to form-over-function tend to misunderstand basically everything

[shut lichen]

no one with half a functioning brain cell would trust brave

[bitter girder]

I mean on PC I use either Opera GX or Firefox

[shut lichen]

same applies to opera

[bitter girder]

But their mobile versions are jank or at least the UI I can't get used to

[dreamy rose]

i don't trust anybody with security shit. its just the adblock i care about

[shut lichen]

then use a browser with built-in blocking that isn't owned by an asshole

[bitter girder]

I've been trying but so far there's Bromite but that's discontinued from what I could tell

Another want is frequent or at least active development

[shut lichen]

vivaldi lol

[harsh quartz]

So you want a browser with good aesthetic, user friendly UI, Adblock, active development and security? On a mobile device? Is there anything else sire, or are these all your demands?

[sudden bough]

I’ve used it. It’s ok.

Safari

[dreamy rose]

yeah no. Brave works and i'm sticking with brave

[harsh quartz]

3ds browser

clown me all you want don't make you right bro

[bitter girder]

I mean if it exists I would get it.

I am asking here because I ran out of places to look for it

[harsh quartz]

Maybe cause it doesn’t really exist

[sudden bough]

Firefox is next option

What about Microsoft edge

[mental kayak]

😮

[sudden bough]

It’s not terrible

[harsh quartz]

Microsoft hates ad, clearly

They only put 7 on your desktop

[willow rose]

@bitter girder all I can say is Google might be not your friend but use it to find the answer as we are all giving suggestions and you don't like any of them or have an excuse why not to use or go a certain way.

[dreamy rose]

eeeeh skip it. they pay you to use it thats how desprite they are

[sudden bough]

They stopped

[harsh quartz]

I swear every time I open edge it’s more clicks to deny moving data over

[bitter girder]

Ironically edge was the only other browser that supports group tabs

[sudden bough]

oh wait, that's right, mobile

Alternatively, you could always make a non-ad supported browser

in the picture of that room i see some expensive computer hardware, an expensive setup portable ac unit (probably to cool down your room that gets to be 100 degrees due to you being in it with your computers running all day long making it so the central AC cant keep up), a fish tank, etc. That doesnt lead me to the conclusion that your parents hate your guts

gotcha. your house burnt down, these are temporary living arangements?

[shut lichen]

I don't see anything particularly expensive in this picture, and portable ACs are absolutely dirt cheap these days

[mental kayak]

if you hate your parents, wouldn't boarding school be a good option?

i figured they'd let you bring in anything reasonable

other than hard liquor and prostitutes, that is

[mental kayak]

well i thought it was his room- thats a bit different if its a living room

yes- how much do you need

[willow rose]

If your parents hated you they wouldn't provide you with a roof to sleep under, you have a computer. Take the good with the bad. If they did shove you into your pile not cool but think what they do for you and there is a lot of people who are much worse off. Take that from someone who used to live on the streets.

[mental kayak]

pretty much. I don't know how to articulate it without being an asshole and I didnt really try because most of the issue is probably just maturity/hormonal

[shut lichen]

you've clearly not had abusive parents lol

[willow rose]

Also not to mention that you have to think they are paying for your power consumption too.

[mental kayak]

when i was 16 i was out committing felonies with my then friends- i lived in abusive household so I understand it sucks and it led me down a very dark path into early adulthood

but I also know they didnt hate me and did want the best for me, they just weren't good at making that happen all the time

but being a young teen you can definitely feel boxed in and its hard to see the outside perspective without any real life experience

[shut lichen]

just because your parents were worse, it doesn't mean theirs aren't bad.
any parent that would even think of throwing their child into anything is a bad parent.

[willow rose]

Ethan, I grew up in a rough life in between foster homes so I never really had "parents".

[lilac bear]

nuh uh

[willow rose]

My piece of advice is try sit down with them and work out each others boundaries.

[mental kayak]

the scenario i have in my mind is some mouthy kid telling their mom to go eat shit, or worse and I would slap the shit out of my kid for that too. Does it mean they meant for them to fall into a pile of stuff? no.

[willow rose]

Then you will all be on the same page.

[mental kayak]

is it still the best way to address it? no. but if a grown adult were trying to cause harm to a 13 year old beacuse they hate them, it would be worse than that

im just not one to immediately coddle someone that is looking for attention or trying to exaggerate shit (which i dont have enough info to know if thats the case and im not saying it is), simply because everyone wants to be the "poor me" and not face their actions or hear the other side

[shut lichen]

you'd slap your kid? you're shit too then
if your answer is physical contact, you've failed.

[mental kayak]

if my 13 year old had the audacity to do what I said above? probably. act like an adult and get treated like an adult. thankfully I don't have those issues because I'm involved and handle shit way before it gets there

if the abuse is that bad and sustained, you should start with talking to the school counselor. If there is real abuse happening, it can definitely affect you and change you and lead you down a bad road (drugs, crime, etc.), without you even realizing it, especially in a few years. In that case, foster care is probably the best case scenario

[shut lichen]

if you'd even slap an adult for that, you have failed.

[mental kayak]

i'm pretty successful

[willow rose]

The fact you are bringing potential child abuse to a public forum can also be very damaging too. I'd suggest we change the topic.

[shut lichen]

being successful doesn't mean you're not a piece of shit

[dreamy rose]

quite the opposite. most sucessful people ARE shit people

Oooookaaayy then.

[mental kayak]

not much more we can contribute here online, but seriously- if you think it is abuse, talk to someone you trust, school counselor, or if it's that bad call the police. There are resources, and while you may not be able to be glued to a computer all the time if you do that, it is probably better and more healthy for you in the long run anyway. Every adult I know would change the way they handled themselves and what they did when they were younger and teens, and this your chance to help yourself if you feel you need to do that

[willow rose]

Sorry can't help you there.

[lilac bear]

noooo

[willow rose]

Also in conclusion the reason we are moving on is talking about abuse can trigger people.

[mental kayak]

yeah understandable i just felt that needs to be said

[willow rose]

I agree @mental kayak .

[blissful warren]

[lilac bear]

shouldn't be

I'd probably check cable connections

[soft trellis]

One of my teachers just said "next lesson same time same bad channel" Does he watch wan show?

[manic torrent]

wow

[mental kayak]

maybe. start printing out memes and leave them on his desk

[manic torrent]

same BAT channel

[soft trellis]

He doesn't have a desk he's my PE teacher

[soft trellis]

?

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XDy8j71xz0

[soft trellis]

Oh ok

[lilac bear]

he might be a fan

[manic torrent]

it's literally a reference to 60s TV batman.

[soft trellis]

I was born after batman show

[lilac bear]

we get it you are old

[soft trellis]

Lol

[manic torrent]

so was I.

[soft trellis]

Well Im not exactly a big fan of batman

How would I know it

[shut lichen]

idk, maybe because linus has explained it many times on wan show?

[soft trellis]

I fall asleep during the show

I forget everything they say

[manic torrent]

... except he says it at the end

[soft trellis]

Yeah

[manic torrent]

so you played yourself

[soft trellis]

I wake up when he says that

[lilac bear]

yeah he can loud for that

[soft trellis]

I can prove it because overnight it says YouTube was on all night and it plays random wan shows and also math videos for some reason

[soft trellis]

Linus jumpscare

[lilac bear]

fnaf movie

[soft trellis]

And also I've only heard it like once

[manic torrent]

You know it's an old reference because linus is old and old people make old references

[soft trellis]

Linus doesn't seem old

[lilac bear]

linus kinda young though

[soft trellis]

I forgot he is

He and Luke and dan all seem pretty young to be from the 60s lol

I know that's not what your saying it's a joke

[lilac bear]

it's a joke yes

[manic torrent]

kids these days.....

[soft trellis]

Well if something was said in a show you watch but it ended up being in a show from decades before and you thought it was from that only to have some old guy get annoyed and think kids these days you would be annoyed aswell

[lilac bear]

we should promote the free viewing of the old bat channel to all children

so everyone can finally

understand the joke

[manic torrent]

occams razor - what's more likely, that linus made it up and that's where it comes from, or that linus is making the same cultural reference your teacher, (who is likely of a similar generation) is.

[soft trellis]

My teacher is far older than linus

[white pawn]

funny thing is, used to be with reruns you could see shows from the 60's and 70's clear into the 90s on tv 😛 and now with some of the classic channels, even today

[lilac bear]

we don't live in the 90s if you checked the calender

[manic torrent]

"far older" ?

[manic torrent]

yes, but people who are 37 and 40 did.

[white pawn]

I know I used to watch "The Honeymooners" at like 2am in the 90s, and that show was from the 50s

[lilac bear]

but the issue is that the 17 year olds haven't watched it

do you suggest we kill off the children?

[manic torrent]

I suggested applying occam's razor

[white pawn]

I also said on the classic channels today, in case your reading comprehension failed immediately after the 90's part of that sentence 🙂

[manic torrent]

also google exists

[lilac bear]

are you making fun of my TikTok mindset

that is incredibly rude and not ohio rizz of you

[graceful burrow]

I'm feelin the second link down

[manic torrent]

IKR?

[lilac bear]

strange of you guys to suggest children should look into your jokes

instead of mocking one for not initially knowing

isn't part of the humor to bully the out cast?

[graceful burrow]

I never made fun of anyone

I made a self deprecating joke

[neon mesa]

Why are pcie risers so pricy

Like... Damn

It's a cable

[manic torrent]

because they must be made to exacting tolerances in order to work correctly

[neon mesa]

It's more expensive than my pc case

Welp i guess no vertical gpu for now

[manic torrent]

yes, your PC case is a mass produced pile of pressed metal.

[graceful burrow]

Do you realize how sensitive a pcie signal is nowadays

[neon mesa]

I mean, it's high quality, with tempered glass door and meshed front

[graceful burrow]

Gen 4 is crazy
Them getting Gen 5 speeds in the same connector is impressive

[neon mesa]

I just pay less since cases don't need to be shipped 10000km away, in asia

[manic torrent]

gen3 risers are far cheaper, and will do the same job.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah esp for a 3000 series card

[neon mesa]

And also no name brand mark up

[graceful burrow]

Even the 3090 doesn't really benefit at all from Gen 4

[neon mesa]

I guess I'll get the 3.0 one

[graceful burrow]

Like
1-2%

Just enough of a benefit to be barely measurable but only sometimes

[neon mesa]

Still figuring out how to undervolt

Really wish it's as simple as AMD's slider

[tranquil goblet]

good morning

[graceful burrow]

What's good about it

[tranquil goblet]

you can have a nice warm shower

[graceful burrow]

I take cold showers

[tranquil goblet]

oh... I forgot some people do that

[mental kayak]

i purposely turn the water on first and shave before i even get in to build temp lol

[manic torrent]

it isn't even morning

[tranquil goblet]

I've had to take cold showers before. They always made me feel like I'm sick or like I got home through rain

[vapid cypress]

erm askhually there is no scientific basis that it's more healthy than a regural shower 🤓

[manic torrent]

he didn't say there was

[vapid cypress]

Isn't why people take them?

Or are people crazy

[manic torrent]

you don't know him. You don't know his story.

[tranquil goblet]

it's 6:37 am for me

[manic torrent]

He might just hate himself.

[manic torrent]

16:37 here

[mental kayak]

thats the only reason i can think to take a freezing cold shower

[vapid cypress]

😔this is so sad

[tranquil goblet]

See taking a cold shower after going in a sauna, I can get that

[neon mesa]

Same, but not out of choice T-T

[manic torrent]

I take cold showers to quell the urges.

[vapid cypress]

I hate hot showers

Nice and steamy

[neon mesa]

My dad refuse to install a heater, because there's no need.
I mean, he's not wrong
But cold showers makes me take much longer when showering in the morning.

Because it stings

[manic torrent]

jesus christ.

[mental kayak]

man this is reminding me of Hurricane Ian (im in Florida) - i put water in 5 gallon buckets and my spare tub before the hurricane and was using a pot to shower with

[tranquil goblet]

wait, how cold does it get there during winter

[mental kayak]

i tried to use a propane torch to heat the water and it didnt evenly heat and i scalded the shit out of myself trying to take a warm shower lol

(propane torch and cooking pot)

[neon mesa]

There is no winter here

Hence why my dad said there's no need for heaters.

[manic torrent]

winter is coming.

[neon mesa]

Coldest here is 25C
But the water easily gets sub 20C

[graceful burrow]

Who said I did it for health reasons?

[vapid cypress]

The other option is that you are a crazy person and need to locked up immediately

[neon mesa]

My room is usually 21C thanks to AC

Morning water however, is much colder
I hate it

[graceful burrow]

Well that's a shitty thing to say to someone

thanks I guess

[neon mesa]

Especially after a horrible sleep, cold water damage is doubled.

[manic torrent]

I take cold showers because I got used to them after taking them so many times in the convent.

[vapid cypress]

It's -5C rn

[graceful burrow]

I take them cold because it wakes me up

[tranquil goblet]

I don't think it's freezing for me yet

[vapid cypress]

That's just torture

[plush cloak]

I take cold showers because i have runner's itch and it helps a lot

[graceful burrow]

Sorry you're weak? I guess?

Sorry you can't keep up?

[vapid cypress]

No, I'm just not crazy

[graceful burrow]

No, just really annoying

[tranquil goblet]

I personally just don't like the feeling of cold showers, to me it feels similar to having been soaked by the rain

[graceful burrow]

I like the rain

[manic torrent]

I mean, I don't wear my clothes in the shower, I don't know about you

[tranquil goblet]

I like looking at rain, I don't like being in rain

[graceful burrow]

Rip

[manic torrent]

but also when I'm outside in the rain, I'm similarly usually wearing clothes.

[tranquil goblet]

Let's just say I get the weather that comes from GB, it rains at least twice a week

[vapid cypress]

The only time I validate cold showers is after you've been in a sauna then it kinda counteracts it.

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like heaven tbh
Idk what gb is but I love me some rain

[manic torrent]

you guys also clearly never had a beach shower

[tranquil goblet]

Great Britain

[vapid cypress]

Nope

Because I don't live near one

[neon mesa]

Salt water is pain

To clean

Especially from my long hair

[manic torrent]

which is why many beachers have showers

[neon mesa]

And i hate, showering in public showers

[tranquil goblet]

can't really go to a beach if I'm literally near a border on the opposite side of my country from a beach

[neon mesa]

Soo i basically lost all interest for swimming in the beach

[tranquil goblet]

idk why I feel so uncomfortable

[manic torrent]

beach shower is just a showerhead and a concrete block

[shut lichen]

you shower right after the beach? we just get in the car, go home and then shower

[neon mesa]

Especially sand
I hate sand, it's coarse, and rough, and irritating

And it gets everywhere

[vapid cypress]

Man you sure don't like things that make up the beach

[neon mesa]

I don't like going to the beach

[vapid cypress]

For me beaches are only for vacations so they epic

You can dig a giant man hole

[tranquil goblet]

I'm that weirdo who prefers indoor public swimming pools to beaches

[vapid cypress]

I honestly couldn't have a preference since I go to them so rarely

The last time I went to one I was just a kid

We had to drive to a different city to be in one but my town is opening a swimming pool next month so that's cool

[tranquil goblet]

the town next to mine closed its swimming pool a year ago

[mental kayak]

god, reddit has really turned into a shithole

[tranquil goblet]

you just now noticed?

[vapid cypress]

Always has been

[mental kayak]

no it is just more and more apparent the more i look at it

i think it must be 70% high school kids posting from school

[tranquil goblet]

there are only a few subreddits I look at

[vapid cypress]

I had a friend that used reddit bro was too embarrassed so give his account name when I asked it bro is hiding something

[tranquil goblet]

one of which is the btd6 one cause patch and update notes get posted there

[mental kayak]

well people will be a lot more open to random internet people than face-to-face so it makes sense

[vapid cypress]

The thing is it was quite the opposite 😅

So idk what you can have there so secretive that you can't even tell it to your friend online

[tranquil goblet]

I mean there are things I don't tell to friends, online or offline

[vapid cypress]

That's fair

[gaunt flower]

i am buying a secondary phone... looking at android for this.
Looking for the price range of 100-200/300. Any reccomendations?

[tranquil goblet]

depends, anything it should or shouldn't have?

also what currency

[gaunt flower]

USD

should have:
phone
should not be:
bad
bomb

[full fossil]

Unrelated but check out this fried chicken piece I ate yesterday

[tranquil goblet]

I mostly see rice

but looks tasty

[graceful burrow]

Looks soggy

[gaunt flower]

maybe a camera that isn't 2MP garbage and/or is more powerful that a pi

[full fossil]

I'm hungry

[graceful burrow]

Ok?

[placid jasper]

man i forgot how ruthless this discord can be

[errant mesa]

That’s not discord that’s just the internet.

[placid jasper]

i’ve seen nicer people in the Wulffden discord

[errant mesa]

Our intrusive thoughts are suppose to stay in the brain, discord and the internet rids us of the mask.

That’s my wisdom for the month.

[opal thunder]

REAL

[fierce moth]

I can be decent if people are decent to me

[errant mesa]

Same.

[errant mesa]

Yeah

[vapid smelt]

I'm cooper

[vapid cypress]

Hello metal

[shrewd valve]

ew

[plush cloak]

Now i want chicken for breakfast

[vapid cypress]

I'm gonna have chimken for lunch

[errant mesa]

you know what's better then chicken for lunch?

[vapid smelt]
