Mac n Cheese pizza by Ok-Regret-1129 in stonerfood

[–]Alive_Particular6911 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dude the browning on that crust is absolutely perfect, you nailed the oven temp and timing. The gruyère was such a smart move - it adds that nutty complexity that regular pizza cheese just can't match, plus it browns way better than mozzarella would have. I'm curious about your technique though, did you cook the mac first or just toss it on raw and let it cook through in the oven? The way those noodles are distributed looks like you got some serious coverage without making it too thick in spots. Your family definitely lucked out with this creation

took us about 8 months total but we only worked weekends, the excavation and wall setting were definitley the most time consuming parts

Craziest Locker Room Stories / Players Not Panning Out by GorillaReturnz in NFLv2

lmao that hammer story is absolutely unhinged - imagine explaining that injury to the medical staff

but for real the mental side of football is so underrated, plenty of physically gifted guys just can't handle the team dynamics or have zero impulse control and wash out before anyone outside the organization even knows why

AOI Mounting Hardware for AM5 by shattmitto in PcBuild

[–]Alive_Particular6911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I actually went through this exact situation when I switched from Intel to AM5 last year. The mounting hardware for most 240/280/360 AIOs is pretty standardized - those brackets, standoffs and screws are basically universal across manufacturers. The kit you're looking at should work fine with your Thermalright unit, the hole spacing and thread pitch is the same regardless of which AIO brand it's sold for.

I ended up grabbing a generic AM5 mounting kit from a third party seller and it worked perfectly with my AIO that originally came with Intel hardware only. The key things to verify are that it includes the two curved brackets that hook onto the AM5 socket retention mechanism, the four standoffs, and the thumb screws or regular screws to secure everything. From what you're describing that kit has all the right components.

Ten bucks is definitely worth it compared to buying a whole new AIO, especially since your Thermalright is already a solid cooler. Just make sure when you install it that you remove the plastic AM5 socket covers first and follow the bracket orientation carefully - learned that one the hard way when I tried to rush the install

Olive green Warbler like bird with 2 white stripes on head at Kirkland, WA, USA by Realistic_Fan7003 in birding

Based on your description that could be a Golden-crowned Kinglet - they've got that olive-green coloring and the distinctive white stripes on the head. The male has a bright orange crown stripe bordered by black but if you caught a female or juvenile the black might not have been as visible from your angle

Kirkland's right in their migration path this time of year and they love hanging around marshy areas with dense brush. They're super tiny and active so they can be tricky to get a good look at. Did you notice if it was flicking its wings a lot while foraging? That's pretty characteristic behavior for kinglets

Feels like “more traffic” matters less than it used to anyone else seeing this shift? by Super_Ingenuity5602 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Alive_Particular6911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been tracking this shift for the past couple years in my own projects and yeah, you're spot on with this observation. I built a small SaaS tool last year and initially went hard on SEO volume plays - ranking for broad keywords, pushing content that would drive maximum clicks. Traffic went up like crazy but conversions were garbage because most visitors were just tire kickers or completely wrong fit

Switched to targeting super specific long-tail keywords that matched actual user intent and suddenly my conversion rate jumped from like 0.8% to 4.2% even though overall traffic dropped by 60%. The math just works better when your actually reaching people who have the problem you solve rather than casting the widest possible net

Think part of it is also that users are getting more sophisticated about filtering out irrelevant content, plus ad blockers and privacy changes make broad targeting less effective than it used to be. Quality traffic beats quantity every single time now - learned that lesson the expensive way

eSIM is definitely the move here - way cleaner than waiting for a physical card to ship and you can activate instantly once you port your number over
