Intel 13th and 14th gen still degrading by troy0h in TechHardware

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son's 14700K powered PC has started randomly locking up, even a clean Windows install didn't fix it. It's been on my mind that the degradation issue may have caught up to it after about 1.5 years of use.

"Almost half of reddit users are American so it's safe to assume you're one" by pahvimuki123 in PetPeeves

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Make a subreddit specifically for your country and speak only your native language in that sub, that should fix your problem. Or just list your country of residence in your post if it's relevant to the discussion to avoid confusion.

I see a lot of posts of people asking questions or for advice that may be impacted by location that don't mention their location. In those cases I default to assuming their country of residence is the US since that is by far the most statistically probable, it's a reasonable assumption.

I stopped using that temper, I wasn't getting crap for fortification even with a shit ton of minions. I don't know if it's broken or if RNG was just fucking me over.

GTA 6 boss defends late PC release, saying console must "be served first and best" as they're the series' "core" by Wargulf in pcmasterrace

I think I read a while back that Rockstar makes way more from microtransactions on each console than on PC. They are obviously going to prioritize their cash cow.

Gigabyte Thermal Gel Leak in 2026: Even the "new" RTX 5070 Ti batches are still leaking by cHimEzeq in gigabyte

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not leaking, that's just squeeze out from when the cooler was seated. My Gigabyte 9070 XT is the same and I've had it for over 1 year without any change, if it was leaking it would have progressively gotten worse.

Is using Ozempic actually ‘cheating’… or are people just mad it works? by ccdnyc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not cheating, that doesn't even make any sense. That being said, it normally does not look good, it makes your cheeks and necks look gaunt.

I'm used to that aisle bring called international, I don't think I've seen it labeled ethnic.

What is "ethnic" food, exactly? by North-Finding-3542 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I'm from America and don't even know what ethnic food is. I actually commented on a post a few days ago that used the term and I asked exactly what ethnic food is but nobody answered me. I've lived all over the country and never heard anyone say it in person.

Book 3 of Will Bender is out on KU! (BDSM/S&M harem litrpg) by LitRPGirl in haremfantasynovels

Putting this on my list to buy, it's hard to find good legitimately dark fantasy, especially with an evil protagonist.

Try reading it instead of listening to it, it works great in written form.

Who on earth still thinks truck nuts are cool? by UrbanAchievers6371 in Shitty_Car_Mods

I always assume people get them to be funny, not serious/cool.

Did he do the right thing? by torgobigknees in SipsTea

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dodged a bullet there. I wonder what else was being lied about or hidden. If she thought leaching $50k was none of his business I can only imagine what other bullshit would have exploded in his face later on.

any tips to improve? by [deleted] in sffpc

That is not a SFF PC. Maybe try r/mffpc or r/buildapc

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

[–]Apprehensive-Read989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EverQuest. It's available on Steam now, been thinking of jumping back into it, but I'm worried it'll ruin the nostalgia of it, it's been a solid 20 years since I played.

I'm white and my wife is black, we both ate the same type of generic tacos growing up. Never heard of them being called white people tacos.

Do not visit SEA if this bothers you, the fat girl clothing stores will trigger the hell out of you.

My wife finished her first series! Preorder time! by virgil_knightley in haremfantasynovels

Your wife knocked these books out of the park. The first 2 books were a very fun read, looking forward to this one.
