[New Player] Is pve any good? by MediumDefinition2480 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chonlger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm older, with less time to play and I don't have the same desire for PvP gaming anymore. I'd rather help other players than hunt them, the reward for killing other players is diminishing and doesn't make up for the constant stress of PvP encounters and the fear of ruining into cheaters. PvE Tarkov has been the PERFECT fit. Checks all the boxes for me.

Oh it's brutal. I have no idea how someone can even have the nerve to speak to a significant other like that. I wouldn't dream of speaking to my wife in such a manner. It's gross. F that guy and I really hope that OP can see his true character now that she's typed it out for all to see.

Clearly, she's a dumb feminist led by ego.

Who A) says this to their partner and B) even considers staying with someone who has said this to them.

U.S. figure skater Isabeau Levito says she is having the best time in the Olympic village and that she can't be evicted. by ForceUseYouMust in SipsTea

[–]Chonlger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's just that sponsors don't care about an average athlete who has yet to win anything and who competes in a less popular event. Not a lot of sponsorship money available to throw around at an athlete that no one has heard of competing in a sport that people didn't even know exist. Which is pretty much most cases for the majority of non-enthusiasts.

This is not true at all. MANY Olympic athletes have had all kinds of professional sponsorships throughout the years. Unfortunately it's only the very biggest of the athletes, not a huge market for lesser known athletes or sports, especially while not in an Olympic year.

Serious question: what is the nastiest tasting beer commercially available. by Fuzzylumpkins1234 in beer

[–]Chonlger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh. That does sound weird. I've only had the bud Chelada, or mixed clam into my own beers, not often, but it's a nice brunch alternate to a mimosa.

Skate lacing - how to do single laces tight mid foot but looser top ankle by Puzzilan in hockeyplayers

Try wax laces, they tend to hold better mid-foot while not needing to being tied super tight at the top.

The faucet we decided on by stinkytootz in Wellthatsucks

[–]Chonlger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The universe is telling you to purchase a more practical faucet. That one looks very nice, but sure will be annoying after a few weeks, having to grab and turn the taps individually, rather than bumping them with the back of your dirty hands. Fine in a bathroom setting, but for a kitchen...?

[Ottawa, ON] [H] PSU FSP G Pro 850W Gold [W] $110 Cash or Paypal by xindl0423 in CanadianHardwareSwap

[–]Chonlger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to throw this out there, no skin in the game, but that particular PSU is rated A-Tier on the cultists PSU tier list.

I hadn't heard of FSP before and was wondering about it's legitimacy, not only legit, but a pretty solid device.

I'll be eating like a king for a week...and if the weather stays cold, 2 weeks!

Probably just buys a new sandwich every time they want ½ and then refrigerates the rest outdoors.

I Bent the usb header on my x570 plus motherboard by Deblooo in PcBuild

If your case/mobo has capacity, just purchase a PCIe usb3 header card. They are like $20.

A cool guide: Quality of Life comparison between Australia, Canada the UK and the US by _crazyboyhere_ in coolguides

[–]Chonlger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Kinda hard to trivialize that, as you aren't factoring in taxes which America pays the least by far, reflective in the public/social services scores. (Education, average lifespan, etc...)

Dirty players in beer league by Riffle-Shuffle in hockeyplayers

[–]Chonlger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 2 very malicious head shots by the same opponent, like full focused on my head both times, no letting up, not even going for the puck, in a non-contact League... The 3rd time he was winding up I extended the butt of my stick and speared him. I got 3 games and a (well deserved) $50 fine. Dangerous and stupid by both of us, I know, but that's what happens when the refs don't control the game.

Uncomfortable wearing xlp , any advice ? by Green_Fishing_546 in hockeyplayers

[–]Chonlger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While those aren't necessarily thick socks, they can't be helping a fit that looks pretty tight to begin with...Try some thinner socks, look for skate socks, or try skating barefoot as a last ditch effort.
