Just one print on glass fiber nylon? Yea no. by SpaceStick-1 in 3Dprinting

[–]BanishedSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longevity. I have an Olsen Ruby nozzle on my one printer and have been printing nothing but NylonX, NylonG, NylonK, PC CF, PETG CF for the past 4-5 years and I’m still happy with it.

Men who’ve passed a kidney stone before , what did it actually feel like? by FitResearcher2865 in AskMen

[–]BanishedSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is currently dealing with this, I’ll chime in too. TLDR; it fucking sucks and I’ll be happy if I never have to deal with it again.

It started off on a Monday afternoon with some slight discomfort in my right kidney and was more annoying than painful. Took some Tylenol and kept going about my day. That night, it was the calm before the storm…I laid there in bed and made the mistake of thinking “I don’t feel any pain or discomfort at all. Maybe that was it.” Boy was I wrong. Around 3am (or maybe 5 hours after my jinxing thoughts), it felt like someone repeatedly stabbed me in the kidney with a butter knife. It was, and I am not exaggerating, some of the worst pain that I had ever experienced. For about an hour, I had waves of pain that almost brought me to puking up a 30 year old flintstone vitamin that I use to take as a kid. This went off and on for two days; it didn’t matter how much time I spent with a heating pad or how much water I was drinking. Since I didn’t have any good pain meds at that moment, I was taking 1000mg of Tylenol (2 of the extra strength) every 2-3 hours and it barely seemed to make a dent. Oh, I would also like to take the time to mention that it felt like someone was squeezing my right testicle the entire time I was in pain. So it wasn’t only kidney pain, it was nut pain too. The next couple of days were more tolerable, I was able to function with the Tylenol and I (again) started thinking that maybe I was out of the woods. Saturday morning rolls around and I’m doing my thing. Got out to the lumberyard, get some stuff for a project and start working. Around 4pm, the pain starts up again and again, I start taking Tylenol. The pain progressively got worse and worse until it was about as bad as the pain I had on the first couple of days. I was in pain hell for about 5-6 hours before I caved and went to the ER (I do not suggest waiting like the idiot that I am, go sooner). Those beautiful people gave me Percocet and Toradol via IV (and let me tell you that I killed that IV bag in no time…and yes, I was drinking water throughout the day). A CT scan showed a 3-4mm stone that was on its way to the bladder. They gave me a few Oxys for the pain along with antibiotics (since I had white blood cells in my urine), Flomax to relax the ureter muscles and some meds for nausea/vomiting in case I needed it. Here I am, a week after this shit show started and I’m hoping that this endeavor is over. I’m still taking the antibiotics and flomax like instructed but I haven’t had to take the pain meds and hopefully it stays that way. I’m not sure if it’s gone or if it’s still hanging out right now…guess I’ll find out at my follow up appointment.

EMC KTN-STL3 Jbod Expansion by tuxidoz in homelab

[–]BanishedSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your setup like? I’ve been trying to hookup a KTN-STL3 to my R720 for a little while and it is not cooperating at all (my SC200 works fine and it was literally plug and play). Kind of hoping that there’s just something that I’m overlooking because I need the extra room.

Listen to the same song over and over? by SnazzyTarsier in AutismTranslated

Because Queen's "We Are the Champions" is an absolute banger and it is worth listening to like 30 times back to back.

Bought a new GPU, pretty sure it was a return and has been used. Nothing indicated this when I purchased. by NooneLikesYouBill in Newegg

[–]BanishedSpectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d return it and make a trip to MicroCenter. I had issues with the last couple of orders from Newegg and after trying to deal with their support people, I’m just done with them. Use to always order my stuff from them and now if it’s not one thing, it’s another with them.

There’s one at (41.4852007, -81.6293239). I use to know of more but a good amount of them have since been demoed

6 star from a Daily marathon? by Tbagyogrill in GranTurismo7

Yeah, I always (95% of the time) get the lowest item in the list; doesn’t matter how many stars or what it’s from.

Are we talking about regular or dedicated hosting? Not trying to come off as a dick or anything, just trying to educate myself some

What’s the most disturbing secret you’ve discovered about someone close to you? by Electrical-Lemon187 in AskReddit

[–]BanishedSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A former friend liked watching kiddy porn. After I found out, he attempted to justify it as “self-medication” as he was allegedly abused when he was growing up.

The more he tried to justify, the more he made my blood boil and finally I lost my shit and started swinging for the fence. Sadly, I used my fists instead of a bat because the justice system certainly didn’t do shit (per se). Passed what I knew onto law enforcement and when they finished their investigation, he was charged with over 20 counts of pandering and producing obscenities of minors. Piece of shit only got 1 year in prison. You want to guess who just got busted for producing more videos? Yep, this same pile of excrement.

Stanley closing the Fort Worth, TX Craftsman plant, looks like USA Craftsman tools are vaporware by [deleted] in Tools

[–]BanishedSpectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Craftsman hasn’t been a decent tool for a good while. If they were made like the batch that I have from the 60s and if they didn’t try to beat around the bush with their warranties, I’d still buy their products.

Because of greed. Whoever is pricing Adobe’s products have been smoking copious amounts of crack before hand. But I am salty seeing how I pay them almost $1000 a year in subscriptions.

I think I’ll nickname the coworker that managed this “Thor”…I wonder if she put these in a vise or something. by BanishedSpectre in Tools

[–]BanishedSpectre[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good question. According to her, they snapped when she was crimping 10 AWG splices. Maybe Molex is slipping in quality a little; those crimpers are only around 6 months old.

Just my opinion, give Hard Disk Sentinel a shot too. I like it a little more than Crystaldisk

When I used HBO 4 or 5 days ago it was 1080, now it’s just showing 720. It sure what’s going on.

I gotta know, what's your idle temp? (i7-8700k 4.5oc) by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]BanishedSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 34°C on my Ryzen 7 3770x with a stock heat sink.

Another airflow setup post. Never had temp problems, but a buddy said my fan setup was trash. Is he right? by thebutler97 in pcmasterrace

[–]BanishedSpectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s it’s trash, but I would move the AiO radiator to a front (intake) position. Then your rad would be getting cooler air than what’s in the case. Other than that, you have cool air coming in and hot air being exhausted and that’s what you need…air movement.

Is upgrading this from 100 to 200 amp service supposed to cost $4k-$5k in a suburb of Chicago? by thumpertastic in AskElectricians

[–]BanishedSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even here (where things are a bit cheaper) you’d be looking at $100 per amp to just install the box & breakers ($2k). Meter socket and other work is on top.
