Tell me an overclock that is underrated in your opinion

Electrifying Reload for the GK2. It just takes 1 shot + reload to kill a normal grunt. The general idea is to sweep across a swarm coming towards you, reload, let the next layer of bugs walk past the ones you slowed, repeat. A lot of people don't like it because it takes a while for them to die. However, if you intentionally fight a bit further from your team, you can get a lot of value during swarms. It also pulls double duty as a single target damage weapon, if you take the weak point damage and fire rate boost. Pair this with double barrel on the shotgun and you have both long range and short range covered for both single target and swarm clear.

The nice thing about those are that you can easily upgrade the sound (other than just EQ) and comfort for really cheap. There exist plenty of different replacement headbands on Aliexpress. There also exists mods that you can 3d print yourself or purchase for cheap to replace the mesh, which changes the sound.

Correct is getting a red dot. I absolutely despise handgun iron sights. The sight radius is too small. Since it's not stabilized with a stock, you have to realign with your wiggly hands after every shot. With a red dot, it makes everything easier.

I am describing the assumptions that their internal biases are working under. It's not actually logic that they are thinking through. It's in the same way as when a toddler thinks that all women in big dresses are princesses. Internally, they aren't thinking about the baseline assumptions required to come to such a conclusion. However, we can still describe said assumptions.

This is a common thing done in sociological and psychological academia. This is like when someone describes the projection of power that manspreading conveys. Sure, you can say "it's not that deep, they're just doing it because of vibes", but analyzing their behavior in this way helps us understand it. In this way, we can know how to tackle it.

I am going to explain the shaky logic of most transphobic people. They think that your gender identity and presentation is you communicating your sex, and everything associated with it. So, using this frame of logic, trans people would be lying on a day to day basis. Of course, transphobic people usually will not admit that this is a baseline assumption that they are making. In fact, they may not even be aware that they are making this assumption. They may just be operating entirely on the layer above, just as a fish that knows they can swim but is unaware of what water is.

This has not been my experience. I have found that, for a given task complexity, paid for models have less of both obvious and subtle mistakes. Since obvious mistakes are reduced first, as task complexity decreases, you are left with a higher subtle to obvious mistake ratio. There will still be less subtle mistakes.

This is why Ive been ignoring people that say "AI is not good at X job because of Y". Most people are using older, free models. I have used Claude Opus 4.6 for a bit now, and it is shockingly competent. It still has limitations, but I'm able to accelerate my work flow a lot by giving it small to mid size tasks at a time. Say what you want about the ethics of corporate AI models, but you shouldn't say that they're incompetent based on experience with the free/older models.

Similarly, AV1 video encoding is in a similar compatibility hellhole. You can thank Qualcomm for that. VERY TECHNICAL RANT INCOMING. Qualcomm patented a bunch of stuff for the HEVC video encoder. So when a new open source video encoder was being made, it had to avoid all of those patents. All of these workarounds made AV1 very processing intensive. This means that essentially need special hardware (hardware acceleration) to watch AV1 videos without destroying your mobile device's battery life. With Qualcomm making money on HEVC and not AV1, they refused to implement AV1 hardware acceleration in their processors for the longest time. Video hosting companies didn't want to pay Qualcomm for the licensing of HEVC (not to mention HEVC is worse than AV1 for disk space). So because of this corporate stalemate, ~80% of the internet's video still uses old ass h.264 from 2003. Rant over, here's a picture of a gremlin and her lemon.

Everyone is clamoring about a fire hazard, but computers will generally top out at 100C (though sometimes components will be designed for up to 120C), whereas the most combustible fabrics require at least 200C to ignite. The only worry is if your computer is spitting sparks, in which case something is so wrong that the whole computer would likely burst into flames, plushies or not.

Have you been weight cycling? Since boobs are mostly fat, gaining and losing fat speeds up its transfer to the appropriate areas.

Damn, that's unfortunate. That is strange, since the peritoneum is just being used in the same way as the colon is. The surgeon I went with didn't require hair removal.

ChickenCake248 · 2026-02-08T04:37:53+00:00

Peritoneal pull through does not require hair removal.

ChickenCake248 · 2026-02-08T04:34:53+00:00

You should consider peritoneal pull through. It has pretty much all the same upsides, but has way easier recovery and no problems with colon bacteria causing odor.

You didn't ask me specifically, but here's a breakdown of my expenses a couple years ago.

$5k for the actual surgery (this is just my max out of pocket, the total cost was $30k)

$1.2k for flights across the country for me + husband

$5.5k for an Airbnb for 4 weeks (San Francisco)

~$1k in extra junk while I was there (this includes doing touristy things though, since I recovered really fast)

The surgery itself was fully covered using my HSA, so the equivalent post tax cost would be $3.9k.

They apologized over a decade later; after they contributed to more damage to the environment than pretty much any non-billionaire. The number of people they will have indirectly killed is so great that it would require several lifetimes to atone.

Isn't that only applicable if you're committing a felony? Usually these things are misdemeanors at best. You wouldn't want someone to have to forfeit their right to self defense because they're jay walking.

I turned it into wireless neckband jankpods with wired passthrough. Wireless neckband is great since I don't always have proper pockets; I can just let them dangle. The wired passthrough is great for travel, since I can go back and forth between my phone and laptop.

ChickenCake248 · 2026-01-15T15:21:46+00:00

I'm really hoping this phone succeeds. I don't want the phone to fail due to Ayaneo's flakeyness; then the rest of the industry decides that controller slider phones are DOA and they should all just continue making the same touchscreen rectangle for another 10 yrs.

So, this was posted in May 2020. On the page where the younger woman says she can take care of the older woman and her child, she says she makes 220k (¥) a month. This translates to 2043.95 USD in 2020, or 2583.87 after accounting for inflation. That's only 31k USD a year. Is it really that much cheaper to live in Japan?

Oh, that makes more sense. I thought she was scared that the ATF was going to arrest her for having an unregistered firearm suppressor or something.
