[full fossil]

Some of the fake legos are kino

[soft swan]

I actually waited to get one on launch , added to cart, “sorry item removed from cart” 💀💀

[sonic spruce]

Anyways so far I’ve bought 2 pc parts from aliexpress

[calm gyro]

Last time I used one was high school

[pliant karma]

potentially damage the screen and leave a permanent mark. It left one on my macbook

[sonic spruce]

If I want a Mac, I’ll just make a hackintosh

[tardy terrace]

what. why are you sending us screenshots of a picture. Just upload the picture.

[sonic spruce]

I see

Making a 16 core hackintosh should take maybe $300

[calm gyro]

You cant download the pics from that website??

[sonic spruce]

$350 if I wanna do dual boot

[tardy terrace]

what website

[calm gyro]

Kleinanzeigen

A small website used to be owned by eBay

Only aviable in germany switzerland and austria

[tardy terrace]

Weird.

Just did

[calm gyro]

Good for you

Have this 🍌

[calm gyro]

You do realize thats on a pc

Not a phone

[tardy terrace]

You can do it on mobile, too. Long-press the picture.

[calm gyro]

No

koperian I'm pretty sure means "copy"

[calm gyro]

Yes kopieren means copy

And yes again

[tardy terrace]

Creating an "on login" start task for VLC to play a video is not in itself a security concern.

It can be used for nefarious purposes with malicious software.

in addition Reza there's just being an overly-protective dork because they're technically an msft affiliate for doing forum moderation, so they can't say "yes you can do this weird thing safely"

I got a bootlego pug, it was nice

And very big

[jaunty compass]

pogs in free 4080

a gpu being able to play games on par with any modern card for 6 years is pretty impressive

[vapid smelt]

1080ti turns 7 years old in March 🫨

[dreamy thorn]

I use an equivalent and card and I can play most games fine

But tbh the latest triple A's I played are the new half life and death stranding

[jaunty compass]

i use a 6600 xt right now that i got like a year and a half ago

and i have a 4080 coming from my friends at msi that i'm having to upgrade my entire setup for

(thank you msi community manager)

[high yoke]

hi

[molten drift]

I remember the 900 series announcement....

Coppa making me feel old

[elfin jetty]

How did you get a free 4080??

[jaunty compass]

msi does a big giveaway in their discord server every 10 to 12 weeks or so called the giveback program (as in giving back to their community) and the top prizes are pretty big

the top prize was a 4080 and a 31.5" gaming monitor this time, which I happened to win

[elfin jetty]

Oooo nice

Ya lucky bastard

[jaunty compass]

yeah
they had some pretty good stuff for the other prizes too

2 people won motherboard psu aio prize packs, someone got a 4060, a handful of people got peripherals and like 5 people got msi merch boxes

this was the first time the top prize had a gpu

it's pretty wild

[hard stirrup]

Rate the setup

[jaunty compass]

fix your cables

[hard stirrup]

Later

[jaunty compass]

Hi im new to this server, where should I ask for help regarding laptop purchase advice?

[dreamy thorn]

Ye, it's nice

Oh, that's not so nice.

Although I do like the cable downspout.

I should start doing that with my workshop when I go to upgrade. It'd simplify so much...

3d print pin board? I'd have made it so each spot is wide enough for each pin to sit nicely straight

Yay, 2.4 hours on the phone with Asus customer support. The result? I just got repeated back to me the very first sentence I said in the call: "It appears that the automatic update process has failed on both your new and old routers and they are no longer functional"

Oh, and I guess their unofficial response to my 3 year old router bring bricked by their update? "f off good sir we don't care"

its 29

[full fossil]

my honest reaction

[dreamy thorn]

I was going to work on new game over winter but it takes 38 minute to do a full game rebuild

And that's on Linux using gcc, can't imagine how slow it would be using msvc on windows

[full fossil]

another one

ok no more of those for now

since rules

[tardy terrace]

You do realize the top/right sides have opposite-facing pins

[zenith grotto]

Yes

[lilac bear]

No

[tepid jasper]

oh no you broke some caps and pins on a bunged up board that's horrible

what a waste, that board was only destined for the bin anyways

[sturdy dune]

just remembered about this cool coat hanger and realized someone made an stl file for it

[left dragon]

Hmm, that looks exactly like the one creator who was on Shark Tank for that exact newer design.

[fossil frost]

its the same as the one simone giertz made

[sturdy dune]

yes

its just much cheaper, it will cost me 20$ to make as much as the 200$ kick starter pack

[left dragon]

I see guess they were multiple as this ain't this one, but I remember that one too.

[sturdy dune]

nah dont need that just want half the space

[left dragon]

Nice, another reason owning a decent 3D printer would be fun to make stuff for yourself to use.

[sturdy dune]

p1p is so cool

[left dragon]

Definitely on bucket list lol.

All I have is an outdated Laser Engraver..

[sturdy dune]

my closet is half work station half clothes

[left dragon]

Headpiece doesn't adjust and it is free hanging so no bedframe or enclosure or anything newer laser engravers have. So, its limited it what it can do and what it can engrave is limited to like 400x400mm.

[sturdy dune]

half size hangers would be great even if i dont make the small form factor hanging bar, ill have more room hanging them from the back

[merry gull]

I see a base station, can i have ur VR kit? /j

[sturdy dune]

yes, index

[wispy marsh]

I need that shade of wall

[gilded quest]

I need that power bar

[harsh quartz]

which clancy is that?

[sturdy dune]

charcoal

[sturdy dune]

rainbow six, gonna give it to a friend next time i see him

[harsh quartz]

ahh, one of his best, didnt recognize the cover

[tepid jasper]

nah it's crazy how my program at my post sec can afford fast computers but not decent toiletpaper

this is literally 1984

screw the 4090s, buy us charmin ultrasoft

[harsh quartz]

use the 4090

[tepid jasper]

they're dell oem 4090s os i'll cosnider it

tbh dell gpus aren't bad

i'm more worried about the poor cpu in that garbage case

[harsh quartz]

dell stuff is all shite

except for maybe some of the more modern optiplexs arent bad

still bad cause they use proprietary shit tho

[tepid jasper]

nah their gpus are surprisngly good according to steve

[harsh quartz]

are they backwards

[tepid jasper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8k5PCmFm7c

[harsh quartz]

because using standardized, field replaceable units makes it harder?

because its so much better of a customer experence for my motherboard to be on the wrong side of their case, so that if you want to upgrade a PCIe card you HAVE to buy from them?

yes, so lets make commercial and educational institutions have to buy their upgrades/replacements through dell, because they wont be able to buy from anyone else either

[sonic spruce]

Ok so there’s sources sayings it’s harmful to your pc and sources saying it’s not, can someone please tell me??!!

[harsh quartz]

that doesnt make a better experience, its just locking people into their ecosystem

[sonic spruce]

Is it harmful to the pc to have a video play on startup?

[harsh quartz]

so why does it even matter to them if its proprietary parts or not? im still failing to see how its a "better customer experience"

[gilded quest]

Because proprietary stuff has a shorter second hand life than standard components

[harsh quartz]

but now your contradicting yourself, apple sells to the common person, like myself, but your saying dell does it because their customer base is only large institutions

also, the times ive contacted apple support, it wasnt great

so dell having a GPU backwards in the case makes it easier to maintain the pcs?

and exactly what reason could they have for doing the EXACT SAME process for putting in an ATX motherboard and gpu, but doing it backwards?

okay, ill clarify the question, exactly what "customer service" reason, since thats the alley you went down

[sturdy dune]

finally cleaned my setup, christmas gave me so much to put away

oh lmao caught my cat mid jump

[harsh quartz]

oh, so youve never seen how they put atx boards on the wrong sides of cases to where a standard GPU cant be mounted in the PCIe slot and you have to get a dell proprietary one? cause those are fun

[manic torrent]

Your PC could explode.

[gleaming harbor]

either the seller is pissed off or it will find a new bidder

[sonic spruce]

Very funny

[hot tartan]

I mean it could

[harsh quartz]

4090 or gigabyte PSU moment

or there was another MB that was lighting on fire last year

[sonic spruce]

How?

[hot tartan]

I mean you never know

Some catastrophic thing could happen randomly out of your control

And then boom

[sonic spruce]

Like a defective noctua fan?

[hot tartan]

You never know

[sonic spruce]

I do know, I bought one and it blew up my old pc

Moral of the story, don’t buy pc fans from amazon

[hot tartan]

I got fans from Amazon

My pc is fine

[sonic spruce]

You got lucky then

[graceful burrow]

That's not luck lmao

You bought a shoddy fan because you didn't do proper research on the seller and/or fan quality, and using that anecdotal evidence you've written off a whole marketplace

[sonic spruce]

I’ve bought 5 fans from Amazon, everyone was used or damaged

[graceful burrow]

Quit buying from shitty sellers

[hot tartan]

That’s on you

[graceful burrow]

That's literally on you dude

[sturdy dune]

man cpu fans suck im gonna attatch my walmart box fan to my pc

[graceful burrow]

Do it

[hot tartan]

Just take off the side panel and ratchet strap it to the pc

[sturdy dune]

side panel?

heh

[sonic spruce]

I blame artic

[shell pier]

hiya, could someone do some compatibility checks for my pc?

[graceful burrow]

I blame you for not doing proper research as always

[graceful burrow]

Not without a pcpp list

[shell pier]

Its in a discord server...

[hot tartan]

What

[shell pier]

because I have nowhere else to put it

[graceful burrow]

Hard pass

Pcpartpicker list or 🚪

[shell pier]

lmao... Ill just do it myserlf

[graceful burrow]

Pcpartpicker would also do it for you since it has a compatibility checker built in

Literally less efficient to not use it kek

[shell pier]

true

[sonic spruce]

I refuse to be blamed for Amazon’s shitty job of accepting returns and just reselling damaged products

[hot tartan]

I’ve personally bought 4 fans from Amazon and they’ve all been 100% ok

[graceful burrow]

Amazon isn't reselling damaged products
Third party sellers on Amazon are

Amazon is basically ebay at this point

you aren't doing your research

[summer nova]

Is $2600 cad for a 4090 decent

[graceful burrow]

This is on you

[exotic viper]

How would i go about upgrading my gpu cpu and motherboard?

[serene quiver]

Is it possible to use a vpn on an iphone to gain access to for example the Japanese app store instead of the us app store?

Could ya find me a better cpu lol, keep it around the same price, its incompatible.

[polar fern]

Holy cow that smarter every day guy gives me serious cult vibes

Blergh

It’s really sad that the lady behind the physics girl channel has long Covid, but it’s also something that can be avoided by using proper mitigation

People keep treating this virusa s if it’s some sort of cold, and it takes some real serious cognitive dissonance to minimise it to something like that

[wispy marsh]

It's evolved sars contained within a hiv barrier*

[polar fern]

Yes

[wispy marsh]

Oh, wait. It might be the opposite

[polar fern]

It is a biological wrecking ball that people need to avoid instead of pretending that they are somehow not going to be affected

[wispy marsh]

HIV contained within a sars barrier

I got it once. I don't like the feeling.

[polar fern]

Parts of the spike protein have components that are also found in the human HIV virus, which allows the virus to enter leucocytes

[wispy marsh]

My family members got it at least twice

[wispy marsh]

It's like a virus that escaped from the lab in Plague.Inc

[polar fern]

viruses are so simple, that even one cross species infection or one infection with someone with a rare disorder or something can change its pathological trajectory

Something like a coronavirus that is very easily transmitted between mammals is sure to cause problems - especially if it is allowed to spread unchecked.

[wispy marsh]

What if we can utilise viruses instead

[polar fern]

We have

[wispy marsh]

Easier breathing 5%

Sounds like a buff item from skyrim

[polar fern]

There are treatment delivery processes that utilise a virus

[wispy marsh]

I've not read about it, but I guess there are.

[polar fern]

There are also viruses used in labs to conduct various experiments on bacterial and fungal cells

[wispy marsh]

They can do that huh

[polar fern]

Most of these viruses can only infect bacteria and fungus

In any case yeah, that guy is really offputting, and so is long Covid

[wispy marsh]

I don't know the guy you're talking about

[polar fern]

More and more people that I know of be content creators, or people I know in my own life are being struck down by long Covid

That “smarter every day” guy

[wispy marsh]

Hope I don't get them

[wispy marsh]

Nope, I go out of my way to avoid names like that

I put them on the same level of "5min life hacks"

[gilded quest]

Destin?

[runic lagoon]

I have a friend who can regulate their body temperature anymore.

[polar fern]

He was at Mount Rushmore when most people were still not travelIng, because there was no vaccine yet

@gilded quest yes

[wispy marsh]

I don't know if my meds are gonna have complications with covid

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcWSrIiR1tY

[polar fern]

@runic lagoon I have low body temperatures now that I’ve never experienced before I was sick. It’s pretty scary down to 95.6°F

[wispy marsh]

He looks like a host on a kids tv show

[polar fern]

His whole vibe is completely cringe

[wispy marsh]

[polar fern]

I may not be a social interaction person but I can still get a fairly decent sense for people

[runic lagoon]

His content is very much kid focused. Including his personal brands. Hes like the new Mr wizard, or bill ny the science guy

[polar fern]

I would not at all relate him to Bill Nye.

[wispy marsh]

Oh, just like some high priests

[polar fern]

😬

[wispy marsh]

I don't like kids

I dislike children to an extreme degree until they're 16~18 when they start making some sense of their own lives

[polar fern]

I gotta go do some stuff I just can’t even believe how cringe this guy is, and I can’t believe that the lady behind physics girl allowed him to do anything related with her. Big yikes all around.

I kind of feel like he took advantage of her

and in the video where he posted about her status update, he kept being all extremely religious and a lot of the comments were all about praying for her to get better.

You don’t get better from long Covid.

[runic lagoon]

Oh very watched his stuff a few times. I didn’t know he was religious.

[polar fern]

And the fact is that a lot of church group leaders have actually died from Covid because they put more weight in faith instead of a simple vaccine shot

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vydgkCCXbTA guess simone is also took advantage of her?

[polar fern]

In any case, I just found the whole thing completely disgusting, and it really bothered me

No, not at all.

I’ve seen all of the other videos and they are all quite lovely

this one just no

The only reason I’m even commenting about this whole thing in here is because I know how many of these creators share different parts of a larger community online

[wispy marsh]

I too, am a person of faith

The faith that modern researchers know more about my body than someone who's been dead two millenia

[vapid smelt]

same

[polar fern]

That’s not really the point, I’m making all I am saying is that it really seems like he was pushing his own agenda on her video instead of making it about her

And also at no point did he say that people should avoid getting Covid, which kind of threw me

In any case, I’m thoroughly disgusted, so I’m just gonna

[wispy marsh]

I'm joining your faith

What the fuck is wrong with Destin/SED

[vapid smelt]

he is a white male from the south that goes to church

Yo a750 GPU is $280 CAD rn

Should I buy it

Is that a good deal

[vapid smelt]

my little bro just got the 16gb a770 last night

[summer nova]

I want an Intel GPU for god knows why

The problem is I don’t even need it

[gilded quest]

Also a military fan

[vapid smelt]

low cost good ray tracing

[summer nova]

@gilded quest is a750 for $280 CAD good?

[vapid smelt]

the military makes cool shit

[gilded quest]

As an American
No idea

Idk what your dollar is worth or what kind of deals your retailers have

[vapid smelt]

USA USA

[summer nova]

About $212 USD

[gilded quest]

Hm
It's been as low as $180 or maybe even $170 in the states

[summer nova]

Dang

So hold off yet?

It’s only $50 off, so nvm ig lmao

Not yet… but someday

[vapid smelt]

its is cheaper and faster then any new amd or Nvidia card

for the same price

[summer nova]

The a770 is comparable to a 3060ti so

[vapid smelt]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html rtx 3060 or rx 6600xt the closest competitors for the a750

[gilded quest]

Maybe
Again it depends on if it's good for your market
Here, $212 for an a750 is a bit much since it's gone for a lot lower
But iirc stuff in Canada is gonna be a little more expensive

[vivid forge]

what is the radeon equivalent to the 2070 super?

[summer nova]

actually our tech prices are pretty much the same as the US when you convert from USD to CAD

[vapid smelt]

thats what my little bro has its a funky looking card with allot of heft

[summer nova]

It does look pretty funky lmao

If the product page is correct it weighs 3 lbs

Camera nerd alert

Too expensive for my taste

Cameras hella expensive

[polar fern]

Can’t wait to get out trackside and start taking some train pictures again

There’s another one too

[summer nova]

Another camera nerd in this server?

[gilded quest]

Not true
You can get a camera for like $50

[summer nova]

I’m meaning like the professional ones with the expensive ass lenses

[gilded quest]

My dad dug this out of the attic after 15+ years

They are stupid cheap on ebay

Of course, film ain't free

[summer nova]

Film is hard to get depending where you are

[gilded quest]

Bhphoto

[summer nova]

Oh yeah forgot those guys existed

[gilded quest]

Although I picked up 4 rolls locally today

[summer nova]

Wow

I still have a brownie holiday flash camera

But I think the lens has a scratch on it

From abuse

I’m not sure if I can fix it, the scratch might not be deep, and it might just be a mark

[gilded quest]

I need to get some more lenses

[polar fern]

Oh, I have them blocked okay

So the ones I have here are basically the lowest budget tier you would want to go for anything worthwhile

There are more expensive models that I could’ve asked for, but these have pretty good functionality

[gilded quest]

Oh I hope it's me🤞

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

There we are

[graceful burrow]

Anything vintage or early 2000's?

[polar fern]

No, these are brand-new and I didn’t have any money back then

I do have an Olympus 565 ultrazoom though

[graceful burrow]

I just got a 2008 era dslr
My only real requirement was that it had interchangable lenses

[elfin jetty]

[edgy sluice]

whats the difference between ak400 digital and ak500s digital?

[vapid smelt]

left is ak500s right is ak400

[edgy sluice]

which is better?

cause they're about the same size for some reason

[vapid smelt]

ak500s its way thicker

[graceful burrow]

but have you used it yet

oh wait you told me you did lmao

mb

[neon mesa]

do you think 7800x3D is worth $100 difference over the 5800x3D upgrade, plus the hassle of needing to sell the old platform first and have downtime
and possibly downgrading from 32GB to 16GB cuz ddr5

that $100 diff is everything included, mobo ram and cpu

[graceful burrow]

you wouldnt want to run 16gb on ddr5 anyway

[neon mesa]

so i'd be spending 730 on the new platform
subsidized by the sale of the old platform 260
so out of pocket basically 450 (rounded)
and the 5800x3D upgrade alone is 350

ohh yeah, the 5800x3D upgrade would be subsidized by like 70 bucks selling the old 5600

so the difference is more like 150

[vapid smelt]

they dont even have good speeds/cas latency in 2x8

[neon mesa]

oh 2x16 ddr5 is cheaper than i thought

[dense sand]

how do i optimize/overclock my pc? i have a 13700kf, a 4060ti, nd 32gb of ram nd i struggle to get 240 in game on all low settings in fortnite

[twilit blaze]

guys is this normal im playing clash of clans in portrait mode

[graceful burrow]

it doesnt matter

[twilit blaze]

now its gone 😩

[chrome vector]

Damn. I remember the days of jail breaking my 4th Gen iPod Touch and my iPhone 4. Good times.

It actually makes me sad that jail breaking on iPhone is dying out. Shit was both really cool and fun. Granted, iPhone now does have many (but certainly not all) of the features many wanted out of jail breaking.. But there's still reasons to jailbreak, especially for sideloading. Someday sideloading will be a thing everywhere, and I can't wait for that day.

[chrome vector]

DDR5 is much cheaper now. Not every kit/type, but DDR5 prices are dramatically better now.

I honestly want to buy and try out the last generation of iPod touch. I would like to see how far they came, makes me sad they are gone. I didn't even realize they were around still until they discontinued them, but I had reasons to be ignorant of that at the time. I want to get one.

[neon mesa]

ok 5800x3D is much more attainable

i can get 5800x3D like next month

seems like it's a change of plans

well, the plan wasn't set the first place kek

man i'm addicted to upgrading and it's a problem

my 5600 is only 5 months old

like, every single pc part is bought in 2023 and it's basically no longer my old one pc.
with exception being the secondary ssd, formerly the primary ssd, being from 2021.

oh, my monitor is still a 1080p60 (75hz oc) from 2018
i use my pc for VR anyway

[vapid smelt]

if its for vr why upgrade your cpu?

[neon mesa]

still cpu bottlenecked on msfs

it's gonna make me motion sick playing on 50fps when near ground

don't get me started on new york

[full fossil]

Expected.

Which is why I don't buy their stuff

My Xiaomi literally has 2 app stores and I can't delete their app store because somehow, for some fucking reason, some of the core applications for the phone were using that app store for updates.

Not including the fact that themes existed.

It's funny that at this point, if you want to have a 'normal' phone, you just buy an iPhone.

No ads, no bullshit hashtags, no unwanted apps, and just works.

As long as you don't break it.

[rancid dock]

literally this, fuck google

[graceful burrow]

android doesnt have inherent ads lol

[full fossil]

Xiaomi and some chinese phones do.

[graceful burrow]

those use custom roms made for their own phones

[full fossil]

Samsung literally has ads on their TV, and I bet it would creep to phones soon enough

[graceful burrow]

sure bud, sure

[full fossil]

Yeah but we need to consider the fact that 95% of android users don't run custom roms like LineageOS and such that only the 1% use.

And fuck mediatek.

[rancid dock]

every company uses a custom rom, nobody uses stock AOSP

[full fossil]

I fucking hate the 'oh just run custom ROM' argument because no normal people would fucking do that.

Oh and I run AOSP on my LG G3.

[graceful burrow]

(i wasnt saying to use custom roms)

[rancid dock]

this, with privacy roms you cant even access your bank, since some banks dont even have a website anymore where you can manage stuff, you need to download the app

[graceful burrow]

[full fossil]

I misread, but from the amount of androids we have these days only 1 uses AOSP.

Which is, well, the Pixel.

[full fossil]

I used my Google account to make an Apple ID

Is the equivalent of using Edge to download Firefox

[full fossil]

Stupidest argument I ever heard from an Android fan is to run custom roms.

I got bank accounts and I ain't fucking trusting some random fuck on GitHub to take care of it.

No hate for them but I don't see the real use of using custom roms if you have sensitive accounts.

[full cove]

Hola

[full fossil]

Which at the end, revolves to the fact that, if you want an android, get a Pixel, or just buy an iPhone. Less headaches, less bloatware, less ads, less shitty 'plz download this app', less bullshit.

[rancid dock]

yeah im very satisfied with my iphone, coming from someone who used android for years

[full fossil]

I used to run android for years and moving to iPhone next year.

Currently using some 3 year old Xiaomi that I bought on an emergency because my old phone breaks (also a Xiaomi running AOSP).

It's $250 but it's $250. The first thing I saw when I turned on the phone are ads and pre-installed apps. Using it is fine, but as more and more updates were installed, Xiaomi decided to play some bullshit.

2 app stores, EULA signing to use the calculator, 'security scans', 'theme' app that I can't uninstall, and most importantly, ads.

Friend of mine has the S20 and 40% of the storage was used for pre-installed apps.

So yeah, I think I made the right choice by moving to iPhone.

[chrome vector]

13900k be like

[gleaming harbor]

you can always install a custom rom

also why did he chose to protect this particular anime

[rancid dock]

He is actually braindead what did you expect

[dull granite]

[rancid dock]

[dull granite]

but he seems just like the

[rancid dock]

[dull granite]

moist critical is eh but i dont hate him
i dont know where is his victoria secret karen video tho

[rancid dock]

Literally 0 effort dogshit drama youtuber / streamer

Doesnt even look into the stuff he talks about, spreads missinformation

[dull granite]

gamer reaction/commentery youtubers are pretty popular

like mutahar, almond gold, moist boi

xqc etc

[steel marsh]

none of them good

[austere shale]

I don’t like asmingold but “far right” is a little excessive

[dull granite]

yea

[full fossil]

Don't want to get into politics but labelling everything as far right/far left is not productive.

[manic torrent]

yeah complaining about wokeness is totally centrist.

[full fossil]

If I got asked if I was a far left or far right, I would say 'far from happiness'

[dull granite]

tbh complaning about "Political Correctness!" and "SJW!!" and "Woke!" and any other version of this is a thing done by a lot of people

its not centrist, but its also not far

[steel marsh]

eh, i tend to associate that crap with the right tbh

[austere shale]

Like let me care about stuff on my own, don’t ram it down my throat and call me far right when I call it annoying that you’re force feeding me

[dull granite]

also it depends on what you classify as "woke!"

[steel marsh]

or gamers

[dull granite]

gamers usually complain about anything really

[steel marsh]

but the far right also do it

[manic torrent]

lol, ramming it down your throat? lololololololol

[dull granite]

i wonder if those youtubers like mutahar and critical or almond would support gamergate back in the games

[steel marsh]

but yea complaining about wokeness i feel like isn't centrist at all

[manic torrent]

and this ramming, is it in the room with us right now?

[steel marsh]

its tends to be conservatives and far righters doing it

never cross a picket line

[austere shale]

I gotta work to pay their welfare. Somebody has to at least, I’ve paid $40,000 in taxes this year alone. They should be greatful (edit for correction) $37,765.15 I looked at my pay stub

[manic torrent]

Ah yes, there it is, the completely rational centrist opinion that isn't right wing at all

[dull granite]

thats a lot

you sure seem to make a lot of money

even more

this aint socialist hell like norway or finland where u pay 40%

and get free healthcare but forget about this part pls

[austere shale]

Its not hard, im fairly well off, so is my S/O we shop local, we donate to causes we believe in, let me live my life. When im inconvenienced by people protesting to support a cause it makes me annoyed with said cause and not want to help it

[full fossil]

It's not free since the cost were taken from your taxes.

[full fossil]

In Sweden it's even more. The govt takes like 50+% in taxes alone.

[austere shale]

In that ballpark, I repair robots, machine parts, I could make more elsewhere but I have access to a shop with a mill and a lathe I can use whenever I want so it’s worth it

[dull granite]

true... but at least you're not getting scammed (in USA you pay for it with taxes and dont get anything back)

[manic torrent]

[steel marsh]

[manic torrent]

Particularly when they complain that their taxes pay the welfare of people they know nothing about

[dull granite]

this looks a bit shit

why it got only one wheel

[vapid zephyr]

To retain aerodynamics

[austere shale]

Only when people milk the system, sometimes people need a helping hand and that’s okay, but I know people that milk the system. That’s how I buy people’s food stamps for $.50 on the dollar. So for $400 in food stamps I give them $200 cash

[vapid zephyr]

This car is fairly old so this was the only thing they could think of at the time, but even today it's basically the most fuel efficient car you can buy

[austere shale]

Was a fully carbon fiber concept car that they actually made a couple production models, actual cars would probably just look like normal jettas/golfs

[rustic holly]

<->

[manic torrent]

.... It is you who is milking the system there mon frer

Literally the government is giving you $200

[vapid zephyr]

Generally speaking, if you have a car that has a teardrop shape like this and kinda looks shit, it's to retain aerodynamics. There's currently a new EV out that claims to achieve about a 1,000 miles of range because of that reason

Do I believe it? Yeah, that shit looks insane

[austere shale]

If I’m not going to buy them from somebody, then somebody else will. They just want actual cash so they can buy cigarettes and alcohol with it

[steel marsh]

that's a very gross generalistation of people on welfare

[vapid zephyr]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PU4DQoQAWY

[austere shale]

Not when it’s actually what they’ve told me they spend it on

[vapid zephyr]

[manic torrent]

Because poor people don't deserve alcohol.

[steel marsh]

nor cigs

[vapid zephyr]

WORD.

[austere shale]

Then spend you non-government sponsored money on it, there’s a reason food stamps don’t work on alcohol and cigarettes

[vapid zephyr]

I love it when people complain about being poor but spend half of their miniscule netto paycheck on drugs

[full fossil]

Not to be that person but

If I pay taxes and later know that people are using that money to buy alcohol/drugs/shit, I would be mad too.

[manic torrent]

Do you buy alcohol?

[manic torrent]

It's because you have no idea how any of this works

[full fossil]

Welfare can be a great thing but people simply treat is a 'yay free untaxed money from govt' and later refuses to go to work because in some parts of the world, the welfare pays more than the minimum wage.

[vapid zephyr]

Word, that's just life

[austere shale]

With my money from my job yes. With food stamps you literally cannot buy alcohol or stuff like that, the card will not go through, it will decline

[full fossil]

Just my 2 cents.

[eternal hearth]

a lot of the money you spend gets taxed many times so it all comes back

[manic torrent]

So morally, it's ok for you but not for them

[vapid zephyr]

He's saying it's not okay because they are spending their welfare money and/or exchange for food stamps on it

[manic torrent]

.... Dude. I understand how this shit works.

[austere shale]

Yes because I have my own money to buy alcohol with, I don’t make the rules that you can’t use your food stamps card to buy alcohol. That’s the government

[steel marsh]

i just sense hypocrisy like its okay for me not for them shit

[manic torrent]

And that money *isn't * theirs, right?

[austere shale]

It’s not hypocrisy, they have their own money to buy alcohol then by all means do it, I’m literally giving them their own money to buy alcohol

Fucking thank you

[manic torrent]

Exactly. We all know that poor people have made poor decisions and can't be trusted with money.

[vapid zephyr]

I have a massive built-up aggression for alcohol and cigs, so people just thinking of buying it, at least internally, pisses me off

I can live with it since that's just how life works, but oh my god I want to punch some people

[knotty path]

Alright so

[vapid zephyr]

'I net $800 a month so I'm gonna spend $20 a day for alcohol and cigs 🤡 '

[knotty path]

Look at #off-topic

That’s the picture I took this morning.

I woke up to that.

[vapid zephyr]

Then there's no issue then, you're giving them their own money they have exchanged for food stamps and they buy alcohol with it

So how is it suddenly not bad if you buy alcohol with your own money

That's the issue he had in the first place

Which is, newsflash, hypocrisy

[steel marsh]

ye

Also you are literally profiteering off this. Which makes it fucking unconscionable tbh

My viewpoint is a little all over but that’s kinda the closest, i want individual states to have more power and for the us government to not be so overbearing.

I'm not Marco. I'm a butter addict

[night heron]

lmaoooo he's so aggressive with the oil in almost every video

and butter but that's understandable

[full fossil]

It burns quite quick so you need to add more when cooking

[night heron]

real gangstas use lard

Me saving bacon grease to fry eggs

[night heron]

heresy

eggs must be fried in standard butter

[gilded quest]

Oh no

[full fossil]

Bacon grease eggs slaps

[gilded quest]

I was saving bacon grease in an old bullion container

[austere shale]

Eh, regular butter will separate and burn by the time you get a good fry on said egg

[night heron]

use low heat

[gilded quest]

And my roommate tried to make stock with it 🤮🤮

[full fossil]

Can't

[night heron]

use low heat for both scrambled and pan fried eggs

[full fossil]

I always fry my eggs on high heat so I can fry it quick

[austere shale]

Runny yolk >>>>

[full fossil]

I usually flood the pan lightly and later baste the hot oil on top of the egg

[night heron]

oh lord

[full fossil]

So I make my fried eggs in like 2-3 minutes.

[night heron]

bacon grease has made me sad more times than it's made me happy

when i order green beans as a side in a restaurant and find out theyre soaking in bacon grease

i just wanted some steamed green beans man

[full fossil]

This is my fried egg technique. Swear by it.

[gilded quest]

I use bacon grease for frying mushrooms occasionally

But typically if I've already made bacon in that pan right before

[night heron]

i basically do that but with butter

not as much butter as that tho

thatd be nuts

[full fossil]

I kept it on a small steel container with a lid

[full fossil]

That's actually the point of the technique,

[night heron]

you can baste an egg without having an inch of fat in the pan

[full fossil]

Plenty of oil to fry the sides and for you to baste it on top

[gilded quest]

Yeah I just save glass jars to make the grease easier to dispose of

[night heron]

not that i have a problem with eating an inch of fat

i would just feel wasteful

[full fossil]

Yeah

That's why I usually do that when I make my sausage in the morning

[austere shale]

You can buy bacon grease from Walmart fun fact

[full fossil]

By the end you wouldn't have much oil waste. In my case, it's typically half tablespoon

[gilded quest]

Whack

[full fossil]

Technically you can buy any kind of grease/lard

Grease/lard sounds cheap so people call it 'tallow'

[amber pine]

Hi

I dont see a difference

[gilded quest]

Guess I've never looked
I always assumed I'd have to go to a Hispanic grocer for lard or something

[long agate]

I'm confused by this a bit, i just flip the egg, that seems easier and more consistent than spooning oil on it lol

[full fossil]

Doing so cooks the yolk

And we don't want that.

[long agate]

I dont cook the yolk, you only cook it for a few seconds on the top side

[full fossil]

Flipping it also means dirtying another dish.

[harsh quartz]

We absolutely do want that

Fuck runny yolks

[full fossil]

Unless if you're like me who can flip it with spoons

[full fossil]

Fuck solid yolks. Runny or bust.

[long agate]

How does that involve dirtying an extra dish? I either flip it with a spatula if im using a big pan, or just flip it with my wrist if its a small one

[full fossil]

Eh. Not the dish. Utensil.

When I mean dish I mean cooking utensils.

[long agate]

You're not already using a spatula?

[full fossil]

Nope. All spoon.

[long agate]

I dont use a spoon

so thats still the same number of dishes lol

[full fossil]

Cooked yolks are just solid yellow snot.

[harsh quartz]

They don’t have the texture of snot tho

[full fossil]

Yet you're still eating a yellow snot.

[harsh quartz]

At least I can eat it without it going everywhere

Runny yolks are nasty, soft boiled eggs are disgusting, and poached eggs are heresy

hello LTT world

[austere shale]

Is anybody familiar with pressure transducers? I’m just curious if 2 of them can share the same positive wire. My original design had 2 of them on their own 12-5v step down converter but I’m going to end up going with one that runs on 12v and since the system already has 12v I’m thinking I just have them all share a line and load with just a separate signal wire for obvious reasons

Hi

[pastel glacier]

buying a new ssd and some more ram, thought i wouldnt be able to buy something on sale from the war thunder sale but turns out it ends after i get paid 😎🐱

[novel void]

Sup everybody thinking about getting the LTT backpack. I carry a lot of tech and I feel like I have to buy a new tech bag every year or two.

I thought the price was a bit steep. Kind of curious if anyone here has purchased one?

https://www.lttstore.com/products/backpack

[tranquil scroll]

There've been a lot of people who've purchased one, and most reviews look positive. There was a little while ago, someone who posted a picture of it with extreme heavy use after a year and it still looked decent, you can see that also on wan show. I personally can't justify the price + shipping

[steel marsh]

no, too expensive for me and the shipping would be too much for me too

same

[lilac bear]

personally idk what is a "better backpack if unlimited budget"

though same here, too expensive for myself

[steel marsh]

i have back pack that i bought on sale for like 18 pounds

still in tact after all these years

[tranquil scroll]

If budget isn't an issue, then ltt backpack is a good contender

[lilac bear]

all potato sack users rise and band together against capitalist LTT

together we will be strong redditors

[tranquil scroll]

I think my backpack was around 50 euros on sale and it's still lasting me well after a few years, and i've seen older ones of the same brand that are very much still intact

[lilac bear]

sale depends on what exactly you want since there are two phases

[novel void]

Agreed cant justify the price

[gilded quest]

From everything I've seen it's worth the price, if that's the kind of object you're interested in
Part of this pricing is the relatively low volume compared to bigger brands and big box stores

Sure it's a lot of money, and you can find good quality bags for lower prices, but so far LTT has shown to have a robust warranty and quality production.

Of course, it's not for everyone

And that's okay

[vapid cypress]

Bawlz

[gilded quest]

I'm in an awkward spot where I can justify the price, but not a bag of that size. I need a slimmer, more commuter like size.

[vapid cypress]

It's even worse if you want to buy it somewhere else other than usa or canada

[novel void]

Good point, something more slim would be better. If you dont mind me asking what would you say is a better or comparable backpack?

[tranquil scroll]

I know the question wasn't aimed directly at me, but I currently have a Dakine branded backpack which is slim enough to be able to fit under an airplane seat and for public transport it's able to fit most of what I need it to, and it's been working well for me

[gilded quest]

Uhhh honestly look for reviews of the LTT bag or ask on reddit. I was looking at Tom binh for a while, but ended up with a pretty basic timbuk2 bag.
Although even "big" brands like Swiss gear can make some quality bags.

[novel void]

Decent brand thanks for the advice

[fierce moth]

If my cat doesn't like sleeping on my bag it doesn't stay imo

Needs kitty approval

[covert zephyr]

can you guys help me decide a new phone?

[winged ferry]

iphone 13 is good and cheaper than the newer ones

[covert zephyr]

Maybe ill get that if apple releases sideloading before April

If they dont, i might get a Xiaomi 13 or 13 Lite

Although you can get a 16gb usb drive for cheap if you don't have one

[lilac bear]

So I work on robots, one breaks at least every week, takes me 3-4 days to rebuild one, and they’ve also been pressuring me to finish this project where I’m taking what is currently an analog gauge for a corrosive substance and turning it into a digital gauge, so it’s like what do you want more. The digital pressure gauge setup is in its prototyping phase so unless I dedicate bare minimum a few days to get everything setup and the code finalized it’s not going to be done soon

[lilac bear]

usual management being "why is it taking so long" when they can't do it themselves

[novel vine]

Hi!

[cloud tendon]

hello there!

[mint sandal]

would you consider this a flaw you go to a website on your phone enter payment info instead of blanking out card number the entire long form is visible

That's with using Google pay

[tardy terrace]

It's a 16-digit number, it's visible so you can make sure you're entering the right thing.

after you enter & save it, it's obfuscated & shortened

[mint sandal]

Thing is it didn't do that

[tardy terrace]

so did it blur the number as you entered it or not

[mint sandal]

So when i was on dominos the number was completely visible my card is saved there

Wasn't blurred or no asterisks

[tardy terrace]

idk, ask google.

not "google it", literally go ask them

[white pawn]

currently im using a US Marine Raider pack 😛 I'd totally get the LTT one if i needed a new one tho

[hazy beacon]

Yo I put my laptop for sale and a guy asked me for the serial number, except being able to see the warranty I don’t know anything else he needs it for. Is there any risk of giving it to him?

[short escarp]

@hazy beacon maybe he's trying to verify what year it was manufactured

Only other thing i can think of

[hazy beacon]

Asked bing chat and it said not to give it due to safety risks. He said this laptop has an revised version and with it he wants to see it don’t know if I can trust him

Worst case scenario he report it stolen so if you ever go to a pawn shop and try to hawk it, and they actually care enough to check to see if it's stolen, you'll lose your lapto
