Doc says i probably have an anxiety disorder too so maybe it's good that I'm not a Twitter doomer

[polar fern]

yeah same with me & facebook. i joined when you had to have an active student ID and i basically just use it to keep in touch with friends in other countries who i connected with via CouchSurfing & Hospitality Club on messenger

some of them use Line and whatsapp, but i dont count those as social media

[cold prism]

I use Facebook to obsessively check guitar trading groups for good deals, nothing else

[polar fern]

the ecommerce side of facebook is legit, i must say. the rest ... jfbiysfgizsr

[cold prism]

Seems like most people i knew from school deactivated their accounts

[prime solstice]

I’ve seen some great deals on guitars on Facebook sadly all of them are 3+ hours away to pick them up for me

[polar fern]

oh yeah i keep in contact with a few friends from high school on there too, and a few advocacy friends, but only on messenger ... the main timeline part is just a firehose of shit which i want no part of

Apparently rock climbing is really good for people with ADHD and ASD (I'm diagnosed w/ ADHD and I'm suspected to be on the spectrum)

(I also have recently gotten into rock climbing just because I tried it once and found it really fun)

[fossil frost]

rock climbing is good for anyone who is able enough to do it, its fun, and has a nice learning curve, and you get to choose your level of difficulty

[glass mural]

Inhaling 71% Isopropyl Alcohol Vapors Is A Hell Of A Way To Wake Up

[fossil frost]

there is also an endless number of ways to make it more difficult if you wanted to do

[glass mural]

I was cleaning my hands and thought it had all evaporated and I inhaled a little too hard and oh no

[polar fern]

yeah i used to do free climbing back when i was younger and stupid

[royal hamlet]

Yess I think the main reason I heard it being good for people like me is that, while in general, physical activity is good, rock climbing also takes a lot of problem solving 👀

[obsidian oracle]

love me some transparent keyboards

[fossil frost]

takes a lot of problem solving, route planning, and analysis

[polar fern]

i do not miss the cuts and scrapes and sore muscles

[royal hamlet]

Eh that comes with any sport that's worth doing

[prime solstice]

Yeah I might get it since I love the 8bitdo keyboards

[polar fern]

its kinda funny, i'd get like 20% of the way up super slow an then the last 80% i was like it was my whole buisness 😄

[royal hamlet]

I'm the opposite, last 20% I'd be shaking because my arms hurt 😭

[polar fern]

i never had that issue thankfully .. muscles only hurt when i went over my limit, and usually the next day

[royal hamlet]

I might just be hitting my limit while high up on the wall Lol

[polar fern]

as a cyclist most of my strength is in my legs, so that was literaly never na issue, but i have had finger tendon issues since i was a teen because i am literally big boned and too strong fo my own good

[obsidian oracle]

thats usually referred to being sore

[polar fern]

once i got to the top, lots of finger muscle massaging & ice packs

ehh no i was usually never "sore", i'm talking strains & pulls, not just "it worked hard"

[royal hamlet]

I need to get back into cycling, been scared off after an injury that tore a tendon(or ligament? I can't remember) in my knee.

[polar fern]

get an upright frame that you can put your feet flat on the ground with thats my usual recommendation for knee issue folks

[royal hamlet]

my knee is almost 100% now... it only hurts when I bend it too fast with weight on it 😔

[fossil frost]

got hit by a taxi 7 years ago, tore ligaments and tendons in my right ankle, right knee, right hip, broke 2 ribs, LOADS of road rash and obliterated a 2 day old bike.. was (attempting to) cycling 6 days later

[lean heart]

Hi

[royal hamlet]

Omfg, you reminded that I broke ribs too. THAT WAS AWFUL. Coughing would make me cry because of the pain.

I did continue biking to school tho for months on my ebike because it was better than any other mode of transport for my knee since I could park right outside my lecture buildings and wouldn't have to walk as much

[polar fern]

@fossil frost this was me when i ate shit on a tree root and pinned my knee between handlebar & top tube. stretched out everything in my knee.

literally next day "look atm e i can riiideee! ... oh wait that dont feel right..."

[brazen carbon]

[royal hamlet]

But for whatever reason, biking to anything that wasn't school was terrifying to me lol

[fossil frost]

riding wasnt that bad, running was a no-go though, had to stop running for 4 months... which is why i took up swimming. now i have 3 different sports that i get secondary enjoyment from, but hate doing at the time im doing it 😄

[polar fern]

something something ASD somehting PTSD something shockingly high pain tolerance

[fossil frost]

because, why be good at 1 sport, when you can be a triathlete and be bad at 3 sports 😄

[polar fern]

fookin love swimming

pre-pandemic i'd always look forward to my summertime ocean swimming

[royal hamlet]

I'm gonna try picking up ice skating 👀 kinda terrified lol

[polar fern]

rugby is lcearly the superior athletic sport

[median idol]

The only time the foot is used is to hit the ball are for kickoffs to the other teams or a single after a touchdown or a three point goal depending where the 4th down happens

[brazen carbon]

the most superior athletic sports are field and track events, obviously 💀

[polar fern]

i guess it's called football because you run when you have the ball & where your feet land is essential for gameplay

futbol > handegg

[obsidian oracle]

over handegg? it sounds like so

[polar fern]

canadian handegg is objectively better htan american handegg too

its yummeh

[austere shale]

You can cook an egg so many different ways. I like hard boiling them and then marinating them in a soy sauce mix then packing them in my lunch

[polar fern]

i know, i just dont have them often

[royal hamlet]

Same, they're expensive

[polar fern]

that especially

profiteering + avian flu pandemic = $$$

[austere shale]

You go to Walmart you can get a big ass case of them for like $7 and there’s something like 40 eggs in it

[harsh quartz]

Omelette >

[harsh quartz]

Que?

[austere shale]

My go to breakfast on the weekends is some cheap chorizo from Walmart and 3 eggs in it, I’ll put some franks red hot on it and call it a day

[obsidian oracle]

[harsh quartz]

During Covid when eggs were like 7$, yeah I’ll agree they were expensive, but now they’re back down to like 3-4$ a carton

Hummus for breakfast hits different

[harsh quartz]

Never got the appeal of hummus

[obsidian oracle]

[austere shale]

Omelettes do go hard, always depends what I have in the fridge. We’ll usually end up with various vegetables and shit from our meals over the week and I’ll make omelettes out of them. We always have cheese too so that’s a bonus

[long spire]

hummus for breakfast?

https://tenor.com/view/zzz-gif-6159466722267827595

[austere shale]

Hummus is just white people refried beans change my mind discuss with the wall

[harsh quartz]

We don’t do a lot of cooking so we typically only have ham and cheese. And if we don’t have those I’ll just make fried eggs instead. Over hard, the only correct way to have fried eggs

[austere shale]

Scrambled eggs with some hot sauce on toast goes hard too

[long spire]

I should do that

[austere shale]

Hot sauce makes everything better, I always have franks, tapatio, and Valentina

[harsh quartz]

Ehh, never liked scrambled eggs, and I despise hot sauce. I’ll take the toast though

[austere shale]

I love sour and acidic foods, vinegar, mustard, etc. Hence why I love hot sauce

[harsh quartz]

Mustard is about as acidic as I like. I just never vibed with foods that want to hurt me

[median idol]

No no. Not that bastardised western hummus. The good old country shit

[harsh quartz]

I’ll do like, pineapples and whatnot, but I don’t like citrus fruits even, oranges and grapefruits are nos to me

[austere shale]

Interesting, I use to hate foods like that too but then idk, taste buds changed. Now I’m out here making my own vinegar and mustards

[harsh quartz]

Idk, never liked the feeling of needing to be sick while trying to eat things

Can you plug this into a VGA? Or is it not 15p

Like is there any way to connect it to my PC

You should look at buying bulk, 12 eggs is like $4 here but it’s legit like $2 more to get something like 40 eggs

Anyone wanna guess why there's like a weird box effect in Stalker 2 for me? If I spin around really quick it's like my FOV is in a slightly darker box or being darkened by an overlay

[royal hamlet]

Thinking of having to go through 120 eggs before they expire is making me sad

[dense quail]

I MEANT FIVE WEEKS

[austere shale]

I could go through 120 eggs pretty fast, Crème brûlée with the yolks, make meringues with the whites

[dense quail]

SORRY I'M TIRED

How dare you be tired 😂
(It's okay)

Or just crack 'em all over your skin and slide along the floor, call yourself "the yolker"

[royal hamlet]

I've never had duck eggs 🤔

[austere shale]

You should. They’re just bigger in general and the yolk is huge and everything about them tastes so good. They’re a good egg to marinate in soy sauce or whatever as a snack

Dude then stop doing this

hmmn... the pinto, considered to be one of the most dangerous cars ever made... was directly responsible for 27 deaths... Tesla Autopilot has been directly responsible for 51 so far..... yet is "fine"

I can't wait to fight Boston Dynamics dogs and Tesla autopilots

https://tenor.com/view/robot-tech-skynet-ai-arnold-gif-13186419

[harsh quartz]

That’s literally how he built his audience. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it :p

[harsh quartz]

I’m surprised the pinto was only 27

[dense quail]

He built his audience by being loud and obnoxious, getting shouted out by PewDiePie and then grinding hard to keep momentum. His initial popularity that put him where he is has nothing to do with "heart to heart" videos outside of "omg 1 mill subs, I wove you guys cries" that every lets player does anyways.

[fossil frost]

the numbers are taken from "directly involved", its probably higher, but other factors were larger factors, so the pinto wasnt the direct reason

[hazy parrot]

This whole episode of his is gonna negatively influence so many kids

[harsh quartz]

Don’t like it, don’t watch it :p

[dense quail]

So you can't critique things or discuss things you don't like?

"Oh you don't like what's insert media here, ya just don't consume it"

Ultra cringe

[harsh quartz]

I mean, yeah, that’s kinda how being a media consumer works

[fossil frost]

thats how being a consumer of anything works, if you dont like it, dont "buy" it

[harsh quartz]

Just stop consuming that media

[dense quail]

Aye, I feel like autism and adhd are being popularised and fetishized by social media and creators. I'm ASD diagnosed from when I was a kid and it's really disheartening to see people trivialising it to "lol I'm kinda quirky, must be autism"

[harsh quartz]

If this was something you had to be involved in, I’d understand, but a niche YouTuber is definitely avoidable :p

[dense quail]

So consumers shouldn't voice their opinions? You should discuss negative patterns with others and share your thoughts?

What an idiotic take, not engaging with someone who can't see the obvious flaws in their logic.

[hazy parrot]

Polar you are delusional if you think a content creator should be immune from criticism

[harsh quartz]

Not what I said, I just said don’t watch it

[dense quail]

"Guys just don't watch the videos you don't like and if you do don't talk about it or discuss negative patterns in popular media"

[dense quail]

That was your response to us doing literally what I said.

[hazy parrot]

This can't be what he actually thinks. He just likes the attention

[dense quail]

I consume things I don't like so I can understand what I actually do like more and hopefully find better stuff.

[harsh quartz]

Never said you couldn’t discuss. I just suggested a solution to you not liking his videos. Just don’t watch them

[dense quail]

You're missing the forest for the trees.

[harsh quartz]

I think it’s an avoidable forest

[dense quail]

I'm bringing it up because the guy is obviously in mental turmoil and rapidly declining. It comes from a place of concern for him and his impressionable audience. Go watch them and decide for yourself but these are things that young kids shouldn't be exposed to outside of education

Your audience and youtube platform isn't your outlet for cathartic rambling

[harsh quartz]

Or I could just not watch them and avoid that side of YouTube, as I’ve done for years, cause markiplier, JSE, and all those were incredibly annoying

[dense quail]

I don't think it's wrong for people to discuss their personal issues or let their audience have a peak at the person behind the persona but discussing your autism diagnosis at length and telling young kids to go get checked (especially if they're American) is how we get massive upticks in

1.People who trivialise the disease and go into over-acceptance (not addressing your symptoms and trying to adapt to a society that's not built for you)
and 2. People who are going to be put on A.D.D meds when there's nothing wrong with them as children

This is a pretty old issue at this point but go watch medicated America if you want to see the end result of this

[civic fox]

man if i had the money i would def buy a new cpu

If you can get a remote job move to China and live like a king, save some money and buy a house somewhere in continental Europe at around 35. That's my game plan.

might be a good idea

[dense quail]

Eh, I lived all around Asia for work. China is better for day to day life imo, for bigger picture stuff sure, I like SEA

South Korea was by far the worst

[neon mesa]

SEA has the benefit of the cheaper cost of living and the vibe of a western world

also SK is not SEA, it's EA

lol EA

If you pay the shipping I can send you a 3600 with the stock cooler hahhaha

[neon mesa]

modern, even futuristic yes, but it doesn't feel western
idk how to explain.

[civic fox]

that shipping will be nuts

[dense quail]

....I've lived here for a year and a half. It's super westernised

[neon mesa]

i'm saying the vibe

not technologically

[dense quail]

Beijing, sure, it's not like anywhere else. But Shanghai's people are very "western" and it's not as CCP heavy here

[civic fox]

so since you live in china do you speak mandarin

[dense quail]

A little, but not really. Most people in Shanghai speak English or at least enough to understand me

[civic fox]

well that certainly helps

[dense quail]

Beijing is the same but they're less likely to want to

Everywhere else is a mixed bag. In less educated cities and towns it's hard

But Chinese kids learn English from the time they're about 6

I know, I thought them English for awhile

[civic fox]

interesting

[dense quail]

I think the only SEA countries I liked were Vietnam, Philippines (if you're careful) and singapore

[civic fox]

the 5700X3D is only 240 wow

[dense quail]

Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Indonesia were meh

[neon mesa]

under 200 in a lot of places
though i got it also at 240

Vietnam is probably the best

Haha bro

[civic fox]

or at least not as much as the 13100F does

[civic fox]

my old gpu was a 1650 this is a upgrade lol

[dense quail]

Everything you mentioned won't but if you have an intel CPU then the socket won't take AMD

Nah, I like the 1080ti, good for 1080p gaming

[civic fox]

yea i need a new mobo and i should be good

got any good reccomendations

Hello, I have a problem when I play a full screen game (which I can not change to window mode) opens in a certain monitor I am unable to move it to another monitor. How to solve this issue?

[civic fox]

should i get the MSI one or the gigabyte one

[dense quail]

Make the monitor you want it to show up on your primary in display settings. If that doesn't work your game should have monitor options within the settings where you can set which monitor it's going to see as the display for the game

[dense quail]

I don't like MSI

[civic fox]

they cost the same amount

But it's up 2 you, whichever has the features you want

still decent tho

[royal hamlet]

Ehhhhh I haven't heard good things about the 3050

[full fossil]

I have a 980ti in mine heh i need to upgrade

[full fossil]

thats my current

[civic fox]

damn

looks good

[full fossil]

Was first and last build i plan on doing for a while

[royal hamlet]

I was gaming only on integrated graphics till 2 years ago

[full fossil]

i felt like i was going to break every part

[royal hamlet]

Lol

[civic fox]

i might need to do mine again since the i3 and 1080ti might not be good enough

[full fossil]

I have a 950 that's never even been opened

[civic fox]

i use linux so the 1080ti might not be the best option

[full fossil]

it's still in the box

[royal hamlet]

Preserve it

[royal hamlet]

Nah it's fine

[compact trout]

which i3?

[full fossil]

or we could use it to mine bitcoin like everyone else to kill it ! lmao

[compact trout]

that thing is pretty fast

[civic fox]

it is yea

[full fossil]

ngl i didn't want to connect it to the internet

as soon as i did i had to re flash the bios after a week

[royal hamlet]

Imo, only upgrade once you notice your PC being shit

[heady quest]

I already noticed that on my laptop a long time ago

But i kept pushing through it

[full fossil]

unhooking windows malware is annoying

[compact trout]

finally upgraded earlier this year after running a fx 6300 and hd 7850 for about 11 years

[royal hamlet]

Sorry forgot to add "and if you can afford it"

[full fossil]

dear amazon thank you for the refund

[royal hamlet]

I told him ill buy it next week when i get my 225$

im tryna push it a bit

[patent violet]

Oh a week... yeah id want a reserve too

[bitter geode]

money doesnt grow on trees, If i had the 225$ in my pocket id buy it in an eye blink but i dont
I have to wait until next week

Besides, why would i pay extra when i am going to buy it
He wants me to pay an extra amount on TOP of the price. Not even a down payment.

Sus as fuck nomatter how you spin it at least lol

[manic torrent]

Soooo, dropshipping?

[tired glade]

Oh, right, that scam is very popular

[patent violet]

Drop Shipping used to be a difficult and very legit business (still is depending)

You had to actually secure stock on credit and have the suppliers ready to ship it

[hazy parrot]

If the product is held domestic is it still drop shipped

[manic torrent]

yes

[tired glade]

Scam happens on selling to you item,not drop shipping process itself

[hazy parrot]

It's more of a toss ship than a drop ship

I can afford only for 75 euro

That’s why

[lilac bear]

babe wake up we have another problem to why Cyber"trucks" can't offroad

[shell swift]

Anyone know how I can turn my hotel room key into a cool business card?

[vapid smelt]

You lose the warranty taking it off road like they do on the cyber truck ads on the website

[harsh quartz]

Fuckin hilarious

[lilac bear]

they WHAT

[fossil frost]

The cyber truck isn't a truck. It's a publicity stunt that looks like a truck

[civic fox]

tell that to the potholes on the road

[vapid smelt]

https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck every shot shows the cyberfuck driving on everything but a paved road

[civic fox]

imagine that hypocrites

[lilac bear]

ironically the silicon valley nerds only tested it on pavement

[lilac bear]

okay are they planning to put super chargers randomly on mountains now

or is this false advertising

[vapid smelt]

The starship will just land and let you charge ofc

[civic fox]

tesla is so stupid

[lilac bear]

it's okay Delta sometimes people can't grasp concepts

you are included

[civic fox]

glad im included in something for once

[shell swift]

Anyone know how I can turn my hotel room key into a cool business card? It's nfc

[vapid smelt]

This guy might know he asked the same question

[harsh quartz]

It doesn’t even look like a truck

[lilac bear]

it's very comparable to the Ford F-150 wdym

[harsh quartz]

Wireless starlink charging obviously

[lilac bear]

they look the same to any true Tesla fan

[vapid smelt]

Until the aluminium frame/hitch mount cracks and breaks over time from hitting potholes or speed bumps while towing

[pale bloom]

good thing both of them have such huge truck beds

modern trucks designed to carry tungsten or something with how much they shrink the carrying space

it can tow 1 million pounds though!!! 👆

[vapid smelt]

Most truck beds can carry one super sized ottoman

[lilac bear]

not the cybertruck though...

[harsh quartz]

You know you can buy an extended bed or shrink the cab to increase bed space right? But most people buying f150s don’t need that

[pale bloom]

cause they don't carry anything

and just buy trucks anyways

[lilac bear]

yeah I'm not sure why he is dissing the F-150 when it clearly has a larger bed than the Cybertruck

[vapid smelt]

But the soccer moms need the big cabs

[harsh quartz]

Soccer moms drive tahoes and suburban, not f150s

[pale bloom]

I said "Both of them" and why would I ever compliment the cybertruck

[harsh quartz]

This is just false

[pale bloom]

bro I live in the united states

[harsh quartz]

And?

[vapid smelt]

I've seen both here in Utah at my job in a furniture warehouse

[pale bloom]

I know 4 people with trucks and 4 people that don't tow anything

or put anything in the back

[harsh quartz]

“I’m in the US so I can’t be wrong in my generalizations about people in the US”

[lilac bear]

probably lives close to a city

[vapid smelt]

My uncle that is a banker has a f150 that owns no boats or trailers

[pale bloom]

trucks are a status symbol, doesn't matter if people do use them for work or whatnot, countless buy them and use the bed a handful of times in the life of the truck

[harsh quartz]

Interesting, I’ve only ever seen them in the big ole suvs

[harsh quartz]

L take

[vapid smelt]

And they turn them into SUVs with covers

[pale bloom]

SUV's are a much larger problem

[lilac bear]

people that live in the country tend to actually use the truck
but yeah a lot of them still use them as status symbols anyway

[lilac bear]

byproduct of lobbying

[harsh quartz]

SUVs aren’t a problem. Fuck off massive ones are

[vapid smelt]

Mini vans > suvs

[lilac bear]

remember 2000s movies showing off like Tahoes

[harsh quartz]

If your using it as a people transporter, yeah, but I like my midsize SUV

[vapid smelt]

Mini vans haul more people and furniture/bags

[pale bloom]

I love driving a sedan and the road getting more dangerous for me every year because of the higher and higher lifted larger and larger suv's crowding the road around me

so I can buy my groceries :3

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but they’re not smaller than the giant SUVs. Midsize suv is basically just a hatchback sedan

[lilac bear]

uwu

[vapid smelt]

Led headlights at your rearview mirrors level

[pale bloom]

yeah and being blinded by every suv or truck because they need to light both the road below the truck and the sky above it

let's pack as many onto old outdated small roads as we can

cause we forgot that bread can lay on top of the other groceries it's not made of cast iron

[vapid smelt]

Small cities like New York needing bigger parking stalls shrinking the number of stalls

[harsh quartz]

That’s just one of the many reasons to not live in NY

[pale bloom]

I forgot how atrocious some of the viewing angles some suv's have

you just have 7 meters of street missing in front of you

[steel marsh]

in my small rural town, we have keep big trucks going it and they do not slow down

[pale bloom]

some are getting better I think

[vapid smelt]

I love my 94 Oldsmobile lack of blind spots

[steel marsh]

if i have to guess its allot of trucks coming from the republic of ireland or enniskillen and going to belfast, derry and other places

our small town cant cope with it at times

[lilac bear]

reminds me of how horrible the cybertruck blind spots are

[steel marsh]

plus all the tractors too

[broken tinsel]

Hi

[steel marsh]

if you crash the cybertruck at high speed, your fucked.

[vapid smelt]

Hope you like potholes , big trucks are heavy, big electric trucks even more so

[steel marsh]

ye

[pale bloom]

people's sense of what makes a car safe is so estranged from reality

[vapid smelt]

The dash is like 2-3 feet deep

[steel marsh]

i bet a old volvo estate would be safer than it

[pale bloom]

I hear people talking about how their old suv protected them and when they got into an accident you could barely tell it was even hit externally cause it protected them so well

[pale bloom]

This is a bad thing!!!!

if your car isn't deforming from an impact you are deforming

[lilac bear]

not to mention just how THICK the frame arms are

[vapid smelt]

I love taking all the energy from a crash

[pale bloom]

old people built different

[steel marsh]

also how hard it is for fire fighters to break the windows

[pale bloom]

they'd just take all of it from the steering wheel

[harsh quartz]

It helps with digestion

[steel marsh]

enjoy breaking your legs, ankles and feet in mutiple places

[pale bloom]

perfect truck to smash someones head in on the siding

I'll keep that in mind

[lilac bear]

well the firefighters have some chance at least opposed to Tesla's promise

[steel marsh]

also the fact if it catches fire, it becomes a oven.

[steel marsh]

there was a story where one burned up and only one person made it out

[pale bloom]

that's one of my only issues with electric cars

the fires are proper bad

[soft frigate]

Why is Linus in such dismay?

[steel marsh]

its an electric fire

but worse

[prime solstice]

I saw a video of a firefighter trying to break the glass and it took them about 100 hits or more to break the glass

[vapid smelt]

It's already one in the states it gets to 100f+ (40c?) even more so if it's black

[lilac bear]

electric fire but it's tens of thousands of cells bursting

[pale bloom]

electric fire but you aren't gonna smother it

[steel marsh]

plus the pollution too

[harsh quartz]

Not the whole overloading the grid thing?

[pale bloom]

actually I saw some cells that were able to be submerged in water and be stopped

[manic torrent]

lets be clear, it's far worse in teslas

[steel marsh]

it is

i trust the main car brands more than tesla

[pale bloom]

if I get an electric car I'm probably getting solar too

[prime solstice]

Aren’t Tesla battery’s lithium so that means you have to use sand or something of that nature to put it out

[manic torrent]

all EV batteries are lithium based

[pale bloom]

also a lot of them can charge at night when the grid is least used

gives time to bolster it as more are adopted

[manic torrent]

... protip: solar doesn't work at night

[pale bloom]

the humble battery:

[lilac bear]

please government

[manic torrent]

Next year I might get an electric car, and solar. I WFH 2/3 days a week, so charging during the day, A+

[pale bloom]

or the humble charging it during any of the daylight hours:

[manic torrent]

that's hilarious

[steel marsh]

dont get a tesla

[manic torrent]

we actually have enough solar power during the day that it's causing problems.

[vapid smelt]

It has less capacity but Lithium Iron Phosphate don't burst into flame just smoke out, and they take full charging better

[harsh quartz]

Cool. I was talking exclusively the US

[pale bloom]

is that a more recent type or has it just been ignored

[manic torrent]

Cool, that's not what you said

[patent violet]

Boil Water, Make Steam, Spin Turbine Really Fast, Get Power

[harsh quartz]

Cool, it was implied since we had a whole thing earlier about “I live in the US”

[patent violet]

now I wonder if there ever will be a day we can just sap the power from the radioactivity of the fuel and skip the whole spinning turbine part

[pale bloom]

but yeah nuclear is pretty cool

[manic torrent]

it's a good thing other countries don't exist

[prime solstice]

Nah just get a miniature nuclear power plant and hook it up to your car

[vapid smelt]

90s tech

[manic torrent]

Seems unlikely in the predictable future

[frail socket]

Well it's going to get worst lmao

[harsh quartz]

Okay but again, you’re missing context and just being an asshole for no reason. There was context provided earlier, and now I’ve given it to you, and you still come in here acting like an ass once again

[pliant leaf]

A popeyes opened in my country but they don't make the fucking biscuit

It is so unbelievably over it's not even funny

[manic torrent]

the "overloading of the grid" by electric cars is mostly just whinging by idiots, regardless of location

[patent violet]

lol could you imagine? Nuclear batteries. We got our cathode here and highly radioactive fuel rod anode here.... and shove it in the 9v.... and bang were good

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/6F1EbYS2Skc?feature=shared when it goes bad it just smokes

[pale bloom]

other than texas

fuck that place

[harsh quartz]

Tell that the rolling blackouts we had, and that some states continue to have, including the states making electric cars mandatory in the next decade

[manic torrent]

texas made their bed.

[pliant leaf]

Most counterarguments against EVs can be summed up as "whining by idiots"

[manic torrent]

... causation meet correlation

[steel marsh]

most of the uk's energy is made up of gas, wind and nuclear energy

[frail socket]

Electric car fires are the worst to put out as fire fighters. They need a loooot of water then smoke for a bit

[steel marsh]

plus the pollution that comes off them too

[vapid smelt]

Thankfully these are the iron ones so they just let it smoke out

[patent violet]

Tbqh if Texas wasnt their own grid they would be taxing the rest of the nations infra harder

[manic torrent]

haha yes, ironic really

[pale bloom]

It's fine here 😃

[frail socket]

True, but sometimes a problem if on a highway

[harsh quartz]

I’m not saying it’s causing it, I’m saying it’s going to make it worse unless proper action is taken, which it won’t be. The main actions being taken recently to offset extra electrical loads has been to reactivate old coal and natural gas plants, which is not a long term solution

[steel marsh]

more nuclear energy

plus wind and gas, hydro etc

[patent violet]

How much toxic ash and pollution does a burning electric car produce

[grim belfry]

Help

[frail socket]

With trump it's going to be more Naturel gas

[manic torrent]

everything is getting worse in the US. Infrastructure upkeep and regulation isn't going to get better. It's a failed experiment. I'm sorry.

[harsh quartz]

Then don’t nitpick my fuckin argument when I say it’s bad

[steel marsh]

and coal

[vapid smelt]

But my toxic radioactive coal plants !

[patent violet]

I cant hear you over the ASP.NET shouting at my threads

[steel marsh]

what country

[manic torrent]

"I said dumb shit and you called me on it and now I am mad"

[harsh quartz]

Did I say it was the only cause?

England, that's the country you're talking about right?

[harsh quartz]

Where did I say it was the only or even primary cause?

[pale bloom]

less coal

[steel marsh]

ye, i live in northern ireland

[vapid smelt]

Germany shut down all their nuclear plants and used more brown coal to offset the Russia oil ban and everything

[pale bloom]

all my homies hate coal

[steel marsh]

its stupid

[manic torrent]

The "issue" of "overloading the grid" with electric cars is a non issue

[manic torrent]

shutting down nuclear is so fucking stupid.

[steel marsh]

it is

[frail socket]

Bob at it again lmao. Every time I see him he is winning an argument with some dude on discord. 🤣

[manic torrent]

Building more nuclear is arguably also stupid, but shutting them down is awful

[pale bloom]

it literally gets replaced with coal every time

[pale bloom]

throium!@!

[harsh quartz]

Time will tell, in the meantime, maybe don’t be an asshat every 2 fuckin seconds when your missing context every time you come into this chat

[frail socket]

Examples?

[grim belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1DygPH0wAo

[manic torrent]

I'm not missing context, you said that overloading the grid is an issue with electric cars.

[steel marsh]

we have like 802 windfarms across the uk, the advantages of being an island

[harsh quartz]

I’m saying that it is going to make the American grid issues worse.

[echo salmon]

Was a stupid decision.

[frail socket]

TRUUE.

[patent violet]

No its really not

[harsh quartz]

Time will tell

[patent violet]

No it wont. We can tell already

[manic torrent]

yeah but what if you want to find bullshit reasons to whinge about EVs!

[patent violet]

Here lemme cause more damage and load than an EV real quick...

sets thermostat down by 2F

Would you look at that

Lemme also pin the fan on

Yeah there we go.

[steel marsh]

in my part of the uk, theres like five windfarms

[frail socket]

My Technology teacher said "Electric cars are killing the plant because they need more energy".. Do you agree?

[manic torrent]

It's possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard

[patent violet]

Refinery over here processing oil with hopes and prayers as power

[harsh quartz]

Cool. So adding thousands of them charging at the same time is definitely negligible and has 0 effects at all in places where it’s already strained. Definitely.

[grim belfry]

Trees need CO2
CO2 is good we need more

[manic torrent]

all electric cars charge at full rate all the time and are never full. Gotcha.

[harsh quartz]

All the extra ozone we produce is just fixing the hole :)

[frail socket]

He was different... Calling urban sprawl "the best thing that can happen"

[harsh quartz]

Oh, what’s that, most people in an area work on similar work/home schedules?

[frail socket]

I'm sorry what all at the same time??? God dam what a perfect world.

[harsh quartz]

Never did I say all

[patent violet]

From now on ill make sure to kick on my Natural Gas backup generator before I charge my EV

how about that

[frail socket]

Isn't the production of electric cars make more pollution? ( i heard idk if true)

[patent violet]

lol NG is cheaper than Grid power per kwh if you exclude the cost of a generator in texas for some reason

[manic torrent]

yes and no. It's complicated. Fundamentally it all comes out in the wash.

[frail socket]

Thanks for the advise

[harsh quartz]

Get outta here European

[manic torrent]

What I find most interesting though is that EVs improve emissions... WHERE YOU LIVE

[steel marsh]

i hope all ireland train network becomes a thing

[patent violet]

Trying to utilize production methods and alt power sources to fix our problem isnt gonna work when the problem is the fact we turn around and undo all the benefits that shit gains us with the other junk we do

[frail socket]

That is true. Very depending on the power grid you are charging from.

[patent violet]

were gonna have to fix ourselves first

We are the least efficient piece of the link. Not our sources.

[manic torrent]

nono, even if it's coal. It means that in your home/suburb there are less emissions

[frail socket]

I hope Canada actually stops being stupid and gets a High Speed train network.

[steel marsh]

also most big companies and businesses pollute allot

and celebrities

[manic torrent]

Oh, we're fucked due to climate change regardless.

[steel marsh]

ye

[patent violet]

100%, were way past the turn around point.

[frail socket]

Ahh okay, so your saying if everyone would get a electric car emissions will go down in the places people drive?

[patent violet]

This shit is over

[manic torrent]

we weren't entirely, but orange man sealed the deal

[manic torrent]

yes, exactly.

[grim belfry]

orange man bad

[frail socket]

I see.

[manic torrent]

so from a purely selfish perspective, an EV is a no brainer

[frail socket]

They were both not the best.. First past the post is dumb

[frail socket]

I see

[manic torrent]

because regardless of the pollution being more or less, it's ABSOLUTELY HUGE in terms of being less around you and your family.

Not to mention the improvements in NVH causing less fatigue and blah blah blah

[frail socket]

makes sense

[manic torrent]

I love the irony of whinging about a wild animal being illegally kept being put down, and then in the same breath asking for more regulation

[grim belfry]

Computer repair shops started dying 15 years ago

Not a new phenomenon

[manic torrent]

That is the ultimate american take.

"we need more government intervention to improve my business, but not anywhere else"

[steel marsh]

don't keep wild animals and don't wild catch them

[spring socket]

Tbf, right to repair should be a thing here

[harsh quartz]

They ran an animal sanctuary

[steel marsh]

oh

[grim belfry]

"Right to repair" is (usually) stupid

[spring socket]

Wdym?

[crystal flare]

ok apple.

[manic torrent]

Why are you so obsessed with being wrong

[steel marsh]

oh this guy

[spring socket]

Not having to throw away good electronics just cuz of something breaking that you can't fix is good actually

[steel marsh]

this asshat

[grim belfry]

Why should a business be forced to make their product repairable by the end user?

[steel marsh]

i heard about this guy

[grim belfry]

If you want something you can repair yourself, buy something you can repair yourself

[spring socket]

Cuz it can encourage people to recommend that business

[grim belfry]

It's not as if it's illegal to repair your devices (usually)

[steel marsh]

some companies will not allow you too

[manic torrent]

I'm in the middle - I am absolutely against businesses FORCING and working deliberately against self repair, but other than that, yeah

[crystal flare]

they'd make more money selling repair parts. it's not rocket science.

[patent violet]

I believe in the right to maintain usability.
If the company shuts down or fails to continue to support it, it must be made open source so that the community and its users can continue to make use of the product however they please

Fuck you IoT. Im looking at you for that one

[spring socket]

Apple forces you to use their exact components when replacing parts or you get locked out of most features

[grim belfry]

What, are they showing up at your door to prevent you from repairing it?

[grim belfry]

And is that necessarily a bad thing?

If you don't like it, don't buy it

[manic torrent]

That.... isn't necessarily true at all. It actually is complicated.

[steel marsh]

no, but they will not allow you to repair it without taking it to authorise repair shop

[spring socket]

It does if they're expensive and overcomplicates things

[steel marsh]

like apple or john deere

[grim belfry]

Then don't fucking buy it! Problem solved.

[patent violet]

I know you are saying this to stake a point but lets not forget lawyers have shown up to places with C&Ds and/or sent letters over this.

[grim belfry]

(usually)

[crystal flare]

forcing the will of the people on other people for the greater good of the people is a good thing.

[spring socket]

Most smartphones, a necessity for most, is like that now

[grim belfry]

Is it though?

[patent violet]

Nothing more efficient than a benevolent dictator. Wont work.

[spring socket]

Fairphone is like the only exception now

[manic torrent]

Because who needs nuance!

[grim belfry]

People have voted with their wallets towards this.

Phones are still really quite repairable

[crystal flare]

didn't that die years ago?

[manic torrent]

we shit on its grave

[spring socket]

What's up about him?

[harsh quartz]

And why are you so obsessed with being an asshat? They DO have an animal sanctuary, and the squirrel had gone through that process. The squirrel had imprinted on them and did not go back into the wild when prompted. They were in the process of filling out the correct paperwork to keep the squirrel as a pet when the raid occurred

[steel marsh]

far right people were getting up in arms about the squirrel

[spring socket]

I meant the channel

[steel marsh]

being euthanised though it is illegal to have pet squirrel in florida

[steel marsh]

dont watch it

i recognised him as peanut the squirrel guy

[crystal flare]

in all seriousness i am for the right to repair, mainly because i paid for the thing i should be allowed to do what i want with it, even self repair. and not have to take it to some repair guy who'll charge me out the butt to fix something that would cost so little and take less time.

[manic torrent]

Uh huh, ok. yep. everything was above board and perfect, there was no problems at all.

[harsh quartz]

Didn’t say there wasn’t. I’m just saying you calling me wrong on something where I’m literally fuckin not is so ironic when you’ve been nothing but a straight ass trying to call me out on everything I say

[crystal flare]

the legal system sucks.

[harsh quartz]

Agreed

[manic torrent]

"They ran an animal sanctuary" - this is a complete retcon. It wasn't that they ran a legit animal sanctuary and rescued a squirrel. They adopted a pet squirrel and started the "animal sanctuary" many years later

[harsh quartz]

And when was the raid?

Also, they do run an animal sanctuary, so saying I’m wrong on that is just false

[manic torrent]

.... not when they caught it, or when they kept it. You're having a go at ME about understanding context.

[steel marsh]

but its a wild animal thats illegal to keep as a pet in the state of new york so it had to be euthanised

[harsh quartz]

When was the raid, considering that’s what this was about

[steel marsh]

thats pretty self explanatory

also im guessing

the squirrel was taken during the raid ?

along with other animals ?

[manic torrent]

they were euthanised to test for rabies.

[steel marsh]

ah

okays, that makes sense

[manic torrent]

The reason the squirrel was euthanised is becaused it lived with a wild raccoon

[spring socket]

I didn't realize that posting that video would lead to all this lol

[manic torrent]

It really isn't.

[harsh quartz]

Cool

[manic torrent]

"wahhhh government will come and take my squirrels"

[harsh quartz]

Cool

[lilac bear]

I agree

Starbound, it's practically EOL

[lilac bear]

is this the lingo the kids use

[supple pawn]

I... I'm confused. Are they asking for a cigarette? Lol

[chrome olive]

I just sold my old AM4 CPU and it needs to be shipped, but I don't have that plastic container or its box. Any ideas how to package it? 🫠

[lilac bear]

usually the shipping depo/front has packages they can sell you
also can package it for you for a small fee

[chrome olive]

Oh ok cool

Would the pins be safe in one of those? That's my main fear

[lilac bear]

just.. not sure on how to do a CPU specifically

[lilac bear]

actually yeah buy that then resend in the Amazon package

[chrome olive]

Would an AM5 clamshell work?

[chrome olive]

But yeah that's a good idea tho

I have this 2600 I just sold, and I'm eventually tossing my 5600 with AM6

[vapid smelt]

not sure you can always test to see if it fits if you have it on hand

[supple pawn]

Possible to sandwich between 2 pieces of foam?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.printables.com/model/287206-amd-ryzen-am4-tray or 3d print one if you dont own a 3d printer find a school or library with one

[lilac bear]

not ideal

[chrome olive]

Oh didn't think of this

I can grab am AM5 clamshell from another PC builder in the house so I'll try that

[lilac bear]

plus you can get foam mess between the pins

or the foam just.. breaks a pin

[young ferry]

im just glad they dont use sucralose because thats like denatonium benzoate to me

[shell swift]

Me too

[urban thistle]

My mom thinks this is a crazy fire hazard. What do you guys think?

[grim belfry]

It is

Your house will burn down if you keep using that

[urban thistle]

The electronic components are not touching the carpet or anything

[grim belfry]

Doesn't mean it won't directly or indirectly cause a fire

[urban thistle]

I don’t see why or how it would

[grim belfry]

It may cause someone living nearby to commit arson

[urban thistle]

The ohm rating is correct and the RMS rating matches the original

[grim belfry]

To make the music stop 😉

[urban thistle]

[pallid falcon]

[vapid smelt]

it is

[patent violet]

put it in an enclosure to make it look good

[urban thistle]

Seems difficult, but I’ll try one day

booooo

[full fossil]

It's a noise complaint maker for sure

[humble dove]

My f...ing smarphone is acting out. For the last couple of days it shows a notification about the usb c port connected/disconnected. I followed a guide and restored to system factory settings,but 4h later it came back. (I also cleaned the port from debris)😩

Btw,the notification pops up every 1second

[flat osprey]

good luck 👍

idk i think just call the manufacturer

[humble dove]

I have been thinking of buying anew one. This one is almost 5years old. Besides,i have been experiencing several other issues for the last year or so.

[flat osprey]

yeah might be the right call, but i always just try tech support and explain the situation, they may have to transfer to their senior technician a couple times, but eventually it may be something they can fix, but if you wanna save the time it might be a good time to pull the trigger on a new phone

[pure knoll]

is this worth it for 70 nzd or like 40 usd?

Ayo I'm looking for a vacuumcleaner for blackfriday sale. I got a tip from a friend that I should definitely get a robot vacuum as I don't have to worry about it again, however I don't currently have one at all for my new apartment. Should I get a normal one or a robot one? I'm thinking it's nice, but you'd still want a regular vacuum for sofa, and other surfaces?

[echo valley]

Guyz' is 70° temp normal for playing roblox

[balmy tiger]

Depends on what is running at 70c

Someone know why my laptop can't detect my 5ghz WiFi? Previously it could

[manic torrent]

Have you tried turning it off and on again

[static sun]

My router or my laptop?

[manic torrent]

Both

[static sun]

Wait I'll try it

[static sun]

Nope, still same

The 5ghz is appears on my laptop but it shows as a hidden network

And everytime I tried to connect it, it's says "you can't connect to this..... Something

[echo valley]

Cpu

[manic torrent]

If it's specific to 5ghz you may have a broken antenna, depending on your laptop and blab blah etc

[grim belfry]

Is bandsteering enabled or are the bands on seperate SSIDs?

In 2024 heaps of devices still seem to hate bandsteering

[latent storm]

I haven't had a problem with it

[static sun]

My WiFi said this
"Secured
Can't connect to this network"

How I can fix this

This amd and realtek modem make meee sooooo madddddd

[idle token]

always nice to see a familiar face

[tired glade]

Wait,he moved to Cisco?

[indigo plume]

Have to pay 1500 to get my windshield on my car replaced

When did they get so expensive

[idle token]

they probably contracted lmg to make some videos for them

[indigo plume]

I thought it would be like 700 bucks

[idle token]

pretty sure theyve done it for other companies too

[obsidian oracle]

when they became curved

so, long time ago

[tired glade]

Wait, you replaced all mechanism?

[obsidian oracle]

what mechanism, its just plain ol glass

[tired glade]

The moving part,1200 kinda a lot for 10$ item

[primal cairn]

Is the 5090 coming out in January?

[tired glade]

Maybe*

Wait Nvidia CES announcement

[obsidian oracle]

theres no moving part in a glass

are you talking about windshield wipers?

[obsidian oracle]

all the leaks n rumors are saying january

all the way to 5070 too i think

[tired glade]

What windshield?

[primal cairn]

Wait 5070 too?

[tired glade]

Those still rumours

[primal cairn]

Well I hope they release them before February 28th

[tired glade]

Latest leak say -Q1 of 2025

[barren kindle]

but its like only in games, in the menus and other stuff its fine

[primal cairn]

Damn... Q1 could mean march

[barren kindle]

oh shi do we have rumored prices yet?

[primal cairn]

I'm expecting 2000

[obsidian oracle]

not really

[barren kindle]

for 5090??

[primal cairn]

Yes

Or 2200

[barren kindle]

man i was just about to sell my 4070 and get the ti super lol

might have to see if 5070 isnt too expensive

[tired glade]

Get ready to spend 1k on 5070

[barren kindle]

[obsidian oracle]

why do people plan to upgrade to new gen while theyre on just 1 previous gen 💀

[primal cairn]

By the time it's in the hands of the resellers 5090 could be 2500

[barren kindle]

also a pain in my booty to get in australia as well

[tired glade]

1 month until CES, just wait for it

[barren kindle]

i bought my 4070 in blackfriday for like 900aud so 600usd...

[obsidian oracle]

mkay

[barren kindle]

but its a 2 slot that takes 8v power connector instead of 12vhp and has a tiny aa heatsink

so idk if it even qualifies as a proper 4070 lol

[primal cairn]

4090 is still around 2400 to 2500 here, it's crazy
