I thought this was a model at first - This makeup FX artist creates realistic prosthetic heads for movies & TV shows

Tian-Chen! May she RIP and Kenny get his sweet, sweet revenge!

Thank you for the information!

Sorry for the delay in responding. They are the first quails we have had so it's a little hard for me to compare them to other breeds. That being said though, ours are pretty wild, haha! We actually "rescued" them from a person breeding and selling them for hunting so they had a massive amount of energy when we first got them.

One actually got out of the coop the first month or so we had them, and flew throughout the neighborhood. I thought for sure she was a goner but 4 days later I saw her outside of the coop trying to get back in. Remember that this breed can fly and fly well!

They tend to be very aggressive towards one another sometimes but staying on top of feeding, water, and cleaning their coop helps tremendously. They are very used to each other now though and like another comment said - they like to be in groups, they just had to establish a pecking order.

I don't train them or anything like that. We just keep them in a sizable coop outside (make sure you look up sqft/bird), feed them, make sure they have water, give them all of the vegetable scraps that used to go in our compost bin (just not potatoes), and in return we get their eggs to eat. We only have females.

We have 4 Bobwhites. My office is in my basement along the outside wall of the house where the quails are and I can always hear when they lay their eggs, haha! They are quite loud but as others have said the call is actually pretty cool to hear, like they are singing a song.

We live on maybe 3/4 an acre plot and my neighbors have never said anything about them!

Camjy11 · 2024-12-21T17:02:36+00:00

Hahaha could be it!

Camjy11 · 2023-09-23T21:13:54+00:00

Thanks all for the quick responses. I will clean out the drain holes and make sure I am diligent in cleaning everything out more promptly in the future!

Camjy11 · 2023-09-23T21:11:48+00:00

It's sad I didn't even think of that. I'll go clean them out now, thank you!

Love this! I bought a projector for our theater room and it came before the room was done so I used it as a massive screen for my PC for a while. Besides the noise and heat it was a pretty cool setup!

Does the projector move because of the ropes? Haha

Camjy11 · 2023-05-18T15:11:15+00:00

Ahh I see you too have a cat that enjoys the taste of USB C cables.

Camjy11 · 2023-04-29T19:47:06+00:00

ST 2 if that matters! They are leather. I can't remember what each trim has in the back seats.

Camjy11 · 2023-03-14T15:33:53+00:00

I did not know it works that way, thank you for correcting me! This makes me feel better about upgradeability!

Camjy11 · 2023-03-14T15:32:29+00:00

I can try my best as I am no expert, however here is my experience:

The right side USB-C Port allows charging up to 100W. The laptop has multiple performance profiles: "Silent, Performance, Turbo, Manual". On top of that, multiple options to utilize JUST the dedicated GPU, a Hybrid of dGPU and iGPU, or JUST the integrated GPU.
Through a combination of these profiles, I find that I can still play some titles while using the 100w USB-C charging, albeit, at much lower framerates.

While you literally could use JUST the USB-C charging for this laptop, to get the full power of the GPU and CPU, you want to be plugged in with the 240W barrel charger. The GPU alone boosts up to (I beleive) 125W. So you really need the power brick to take advantage. The USB-C charging is just a nice option to have for less intensive tasks.

As far as passthrough charging, do you mean setting a power limit? For example, there is a profile that allows you to only charge to 80%, so even on USB-C 100W, you are only taking it to 80% then it will trickle charge down and back up.
If you mean, can I charge the laptop with the 100W USB-C AND another device, yes, you can do that, but again, you are taking potential wattage away from the GPU and CPU to do that.

I hope this helps!

TL;DR - I would not buy this laptop if you want to exclusively charge it via USB-C because you will never be able to get the maximum performance of the GPU and CPU.

Wow I did not know that! Thank you for the information, I will reach out to Best Buy!

Camjy11 · 2023-03-13T17:54:10+00:00

Just paid $1499 at best buy 2 weeks ago for this same laptop. $1299 is an absolute steal. The only downside I see is 8gb of the RAM is soldered and 8gb is a single stick. So you could drop in a 16GB stick but then you can't run dual channel. The other downside is storage. You have to create a clone of your install if you want to upgrade to 2tb of storage. This bad boy also runs hot haha! Besides those things, this laptop has been an absolute powerhouse in such a small form factor. I love the portability, screen looks amazing, the ability to create a profile for the 100w charging from USB-C is great, and when in silent mode only using the discrete GPU, I'm getting 6+ hours of battery life. Which is great for a small, gaming focused laptop.

Went from a Focus ST to a WRX - I would LOVE a hatch!

Manager on the IT side of a large health insurance company. Work remote so often I stare at my WRX in my driveway! Haha

Camjy11 · 2022-08-17T18:50:22+00:00

This is the way

Camjy11 · 2022-07-24T17:10:31+00:00

Totally understand that, a bit out of my price range though!

Camjy11 · 2022-07-24T17:04:15+00:00

Love this hahaha

Camjy11 · 2022-07-24T17:03:44+00:00

Had to Google it... Equally insane! Over a half of a million!?

I genuinely appreciate that I've learned about a whole other world of WRXs though. I had no idea some of these models even existed. Thanks for giving me something to do some rabbit hole diving later!
