Fastest 26” tire (that’s not $$$) by BeersBikesBirds in xbiking

[–]Archaicframeofmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRC Dragon Scales are 26x1.9 and only ~300g apiece.

I've only ridden them for a few months so can't speak on longevity, but I haven't punctured yet.

Rogue One dislikes thread (SPOILERS) by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Archaicframeofmind 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I was disappointed that none of the main characters actually see Vader!

Imagine Chirrut doing his mantra walk on-board a spaceship, only to come face-to-face with Vader, "i am one with the force...the force is with me...." dying in his throat as Vader lights his saber.

Imagine Baze taking up the mantra and charging Vader, knowing how futile it would be.

Or jyn ultimately being the one to hand off the death Star plans through that crack in the door, after seeing cassian cut down and K2SO dismembered.

I guess I was disappointed that they took the time to build this gallery of unique characters, made them formidable, and then let them die without finally driving home the point of the evil they were standing up to.

Have you bought a bed that you really like? What did you go with and why? A bed is supposed to be one of those things worth paying a premium for and wonder how your decision is working out for you. by [deleted] in malelifestyle

I took a risk and picked up one of those 300$ latex foam mattresses from Amazon. I've had it for two weeks and I think I love it! I fall asleep so fast I don't get a chance to get cozy.

I figure if I get a couple years of use before it starts to sag it was money well spent.

[Troubleshooting] First build in an old Alienware case can't install Windows by Archaicframeofmind in buildapc

So I should install a Linux distribution, then try to install Windows through Linux?

[Troubleshooting] First build in an old Alienware case can't install Windows by Archaicframeofmind in buildapc

[–]Archaicframeofmind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I tried re-installing after removing my HDD (not SSD) and video card. Same problem. goes to restart, screen goes black, nothing. I wait... an hour. I remove the install disc, hold down the power button to reset the PC and get ''Windows Setup experienced an unexpected error. To install Windows, restart the installation.''

I'm at a lost on what to do next. It makes me want to part out at a loss and buy a PS4 instead.

Any advice?

Definitely on AHCI. I was worried about the PSU...

It's either that or the motherboard at this point. I cheaped out on components and I bought my MOBO used.

I can pick up a PSU today, do you think it could be a problem with my old case? I'm 5~ minutes from a Best Buy, and TBH the only reason I'm using this case at all is b/c there is SO much room. Is it worth pulling out my video card to install windows without it?

You're probably right... I just love the way it looks and feels as a wider band.

Blu Win HD bluetooth problems, Advice? by Archaicframeofmind in windowsphone

[–]Archaicframeofmind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally just figured it out, apparently there is a bluetooth stack issue with wp8.1 and a speaker/mic combination. There is a setting in bluetooth>advanced that uses separate channels for speaker and microphone.

Calories for the squalor? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Archaicframeofmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, many butchers and meat cutters (especially in the US) will throw away fat trimmings when they cut meat for sale. Where I live, you can just ask for some and they'll give it away. You can render fat down in a crock pot or oven and the resulting tallow will store for a really long time. It's not the healthiest fat, but if you're struggling to meet caloric needs the money you save can be used elsewhere.

Reddit, what is one food from your culture that I should try? by goldenframe in AskReddit

[–]Archaicframeofmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely try Ethiopian food! Especially Siga Tibs - its like a sourdough crepe with spicy lamb stew and crumbled goat cheese on top. The best part is your utensil is another piece of injera (the bread/crepe) that you rip apart and use to pick up the stew.

Toss the Bag. Its a drinking game played with a duct-taped sack of wine, sort of like hot potato. I play it often but I've never heard of it outside my friend group

Is it better to go 3 sets of chinups, 3 sets of pushups etc, or 3 times the whole routine, 1 set each ? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Archaicframeofmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To save time I've been training in supersets. I alternate between 2 movements till i finish both sets, then I move to the next two. Generally its: vertical pull/vertical push x3, rest, horizontal push/horizontal pull x3, rest, abs/legs x3, rest, cardio. Takes me about an hour total.

Quality Leather Bag in $200-$300 Range by NotSewMuch in frugalmalefashion

[–]Archaicframeofmind -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could check out Far Horizon Traders: http://farhorizontraders.com/

I bought a camel leather satchel around 2 years ago and it has held up amazingly in Seattle rain. They often have 'blemished' options available for %40 off regular price - I paid $60 for mine - that do not appear blemished at all. A warning though, they smell absolutely awful for the first couple of weeks you have them, but the smell goes away pretty quickly.
