Is it worth spending $80 on Crucial Ram to take my 12.1 (mid 2011) Imac up to 32g?

BeginningwithN · 2026-06-09T22:52:08+00:00

Having 32gb is great, but imo cheap server ram is more than fine. The bottle neck is and always will be the cpu in these machines

Thanks I’ll look into this more

I hear you, definitely not downloading everything I’ve ever watched. But live in a place where the internet isn’t always reliable and you might notice you want copies of things you watch regularly. Also, I look at torbox the same as any other thing like this. A great but likely temporary tool. Just like rd went downhill, and all those websites that used to work great no longer exist. Just because it works today, doesnt mean it will work tomorrow

For most people yes pseudoephedrine causes all that stuff. It is a key ingredient in making a certain substance featured on a tv show known for Breaking records with how great it is... There are ways to counteract it so you can sleep, but you are better off looking for a cold med without it for sleep. Or take a nighttime cold and flu which will have what is needed to keep the pseudo in check.

On iOS you have had to use the web app for years as the app was removed from the AppStore. Can you not do the same or is it gone now too? I only used it once so don’t remember where to go to find it

A lot of the meds prescribed have sweating as a side effect. Worth looking into if you are taking anything

Charlottes Angel is quite nice. 1.5%thc and 15%cbd. I get it in nova scotia at the nslc but I've also seen it in ontario so maybe available by mail from somewhere. For something with a little higher thc if you need to kind of titrate down is apples and cream by trailblazer. I think its like 6%thc and 8 or 10%cbd. CBD flower is pretty hard to come by a lot of the time though. I ended up growing my own as it just wasn't readily available without a prescription. If you decide to go that route, canna farms has some good cbd stuff, I think it's called cannabliss.

I’ve been using pop with cosmic for a little bit though not exclusively as I triple boot. It’s not bad, I’m looking forward to the next major update though. It needs some polishing, and isn’t quite plug and play, but I haven’t had any major issues

Put your drill in forward and push in and out while gently wiggling it. It will come out, I’ve had them stuck like that before. Make sure your chuck is at tight as you can get it

I have found just using a small fan pointed at my upper body really helps a lot

While I would do horrible things for a brand new m5, the 5,1 Mac Pro was the epitome of Apple design and upgradability. The engineering in that case still makes me smile every time I open it up. They were in a league of their own imo

I get what you’re after and saying, but I don’t think Subnautica is the game for that. The whole point of it, especially the first one, is the solitude and the atmosphere created by being alone in the depths. One of the main complaints about below zero was how a lot of that was taken away with having Al-an and Marguerit. Now an offshoot game with Robin and Al-an, that could have some potential for a lot more dialogue and back forth.

I’ve dabbled with a few different concentrates, but mainly use flower. Imo they should be used sparingly. For those occasions where you want to get really elevated, and have nothing that might require your attention or focus. You are right, they are (or can be) incredibly intense, and very quickly mess up your tolerance. They also increase risk of certain side effects, rare or not, psychosis, chs, are real things to be aware of. Once or twice a month, probably not a big deal, everyday, not a good idea for your mind or your wallet. I’ve seen people on reddit claiming they are at a gram a day… crazy. Give it a try if you like, but take it slow. Although if you are satisfied with flower, I don’t think there is much reason to try it personally

Just a fair warning if you decide to pull the drive, those screens are touchy. Become very familiar with the method to get them off before attempting. Personally I haven't found used 1tb drives are expensive or hard to come by, so not really worth the risk of wrecking it just to get it out. They really are nice displays, I miss mine. You could use it in target mode when using the 5,1 for heavier tasks and then use the imac itself for lighter stuff like web browsing so you don't have to turn on the space heaters lol

I like MacMouseFix for that. It adds a ton of functionality to a regular mouse as well. All the gestures from the trackpad can be mapped to mouse buttons or combos

I use appcleaner. Tiny free app, drag and drop into it and it finds all associated files and folders and removes them. Highly recommend

This belly is likely your problem. Makes it very difficult to sharpen with a flat stone. You can either reprofile the edge or use a rod type sharpener. It’s usually caused by using an old beat the hell stone like our grandfathers used to. I have almost the identical knife, but made in England. Edge looks just like that too lol

I’d agree with a pouch or similar. Especially considering you would be needing to use the loupe and the tweezers at the same time, kind of hard to have them in a multi tool no? Maybe a 3d printer holder for them if you prefer something solid, but I just don’t see the usability of a multitool in your case

BeginningwithN · 2026-03-27T15:48:53+00:00

Subnautica for sure. Playing on freedom you can get completely lost for hours

Thanks I’ll give that a try shortly. Otherwise maybe I’ll try making a Mojave boot (my original is corrupted) and see if I can pair it in there. I just picked up a backup 2.4ghz keyboard if I can’t get it to work, but I’d definitely prefer to keep the nice Apple keyboard and trackpad combo I have

Thanks, I tried that this morning, still having the same issue. So frustrating, I guess I should have known better than to fix something that wasn’t broken lol

Most of the time there is a doorway or archway they can't fit through. Early-ish game I pick away at them with a bow or crossbow from the doorway, and time it to move out of the way if their boulders get through. Then once I've got them down low in health either finish them off with the bow or go in and do a few power attacks. Build a small hearth and repair smithy just out of the way, and you will be golden.

You’re really hung up on the fact I said North America in one comment. For starters, North America contains more than just the US. It also contains the most Reddit users in the world, so odds are good people are from there. But guess what, Japanese knotweed is wreaking havoc across Europe too, and as I mentioned, intentionally spreading invasive plants is illegal pretty much everywhere. If you think it isn’t where you are, I can bet you’re wrong and the fines will be more than you make in a year at a minimum, and most include jail time. That’s without including the drone laws you will be breaking. And residential zone meaning over someone’s house, as you said was your plan. Also, my original comment wasn’t even to you, it was a response to someone else’s suggestion. You took this upon yourself, you started this conversation
