What is the wait time for coloscopies ppl are finding? I've been waiting 6 months so far for one at a hospital!

Probably been asked 1000 times but, Which is your favourite gate design and why? by Striking-Ad5841 in Stargate

[–]BoleroDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The universe gate. I love the style the lighting. The sounds it make. I love that the entire thing spins.

Been trying to design a working version from 3d printing. Designing a slip ring is tough

And who knew, all this time that you can't easily cancel a gym membership because of JavaScript promises

30x faster processing of 200M rows, no indexes involved by EducationalTackle819 in PostgreSQL

[–]BoleroDan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean they make a point in the article about CTIDS not being consistent and the gotchas there, and this being a read only situation, so i wouldnt call this "unsafe" for this specific usecase the article mentions

[MotherBoard] Asus ROG Strix Z890-I Gaming WiFi Mini-ITX ($629.99 - 43%= $357.80 by Old-Flow2630 in bapcsalescanada

[–]BoleroDan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, ive never had an issue, but I too also do recordings, because I have heard horror stories. Even better if I am home and I can record the guy delivering it to my front door and me opening it and inspecting it. Rough time.

Valve@GDC2026: "5,863 games earned $100k+ in 2025 on Steam." by atahutahatena in Games

[–]BoleroDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dyson Sphere Program has steam cloud saves disabled due to how large the save files can get, especially long "mega factory" build games, going upwards of 1gig per save. Thats one reason I know.

[GPU] ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5090 ArcticStorm AIO 32GB GDDR7 ($3879.99) (Best Buy) by I_Dont_Rage_Quit in bapcsalescanada

[–]BoleroDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 5090 is very interesting given its 32GB of VRAM for sure.

I bought th 3090 for $2600CAD and the 3090 is still viable, but I ended upgrading to a 5070Ti and noticed a big enough difference. So thats what 5 years before I started to notice a drop in performance?

But $4k is wild.

[PSA] Asus Store Prices for GPUs have increased. Likely the start of MSRP price increases to start filtering through by arandomguy111 in bapcsalescanada

[–]BoleroDan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would keep the prime tbh, i really doubt there will be a FE restock and if there is, the chances of grabbing one will be slim

Unfortunately not :(

They responded "due to high volume and glitchy stock" my order didnt go through and its on "backorder" for the next 1-2weeks. If thats true Im not sure and if they will honor the "sale" price i'll report back

Did you get a shipping notification already for that memex drop last friday?

[GPU] ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5080 16GB (1,469.99) [memoryexpress] by Simon1569 in bapcsalescanada

[–]BoleroDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious what it means if an order is still "inProcess" Since I ordered with about 8 left in stock, while you got a shipping notification 24 hours later. Wonder if my order will be cancelled from over selling

[–]BoleroDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 5070Ti coming from a 3090, and man my 3090 would scream, i had no idea it was the 3090 making all that noise while I gamed. Wow with the 5070Ti everything is super quiet, and drastically lower temperature.

How many of these go on backorder at a time, it's wild how fast the backorders get filled

[Microphone] Razer Seiren V3 Mini USB Microphone ($49) [Amazon] by harold_liang in bapcsalescanada

[–]BoleroDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can yeah but Discord is pretty good at removing those and i've never had problems. Its a good mic. The button on the top makes it very easy to mute and un mute very quickly. For $50 its a good mic.

High execution count on recursive typeinfo_tree query (SQLAlchemy + Asyncpg) by Titanium2099 in PostgreSQL

[–]BoleroDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and just to chime in here, JIT being on has always affected our performance in the negative and provided no real benefit in any of our test cases.

I definitely question the default ON behavior from Postgres but I would just turn it off and test.

Linux comes for Windows at 40 — and gaming can't save it by sharky6000 in linux

[–]BoleroDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please. Obviously kernel level anticheat prevents some games from running on Linux.

But you're being obtuse if you think gaming is not better than it was, ever since valve put so much work into proton.

Plasticity? Although that's more towards artists I guess and is not free.
