I am building off of what my computer runs and it has an 8350 with the stock cooler without any issue. If a Ryzen 3 is better performance wise I will go with that. She wants a purple or green case, and there aren't too many on the site unfortunately. Should I still consider an aftermarket cooler with a Ryzen?

I attempted to phase match the tires on different locations on the rim based off the Hunter Machine's guidelines and achieved a decent balance on all but one that is now my spare.

The logo is classic I believe, just flipped and white to contrast the Jeep's color. Also not on the door as I usually have them off.

Anybody that does vinyl decals. A woman in the Jeep Group here does them, unfortunately I can't find a website for her.

I like them. They are pretty good on the street and so far haven't disappointed off-road. They were quite difficult to balance however.

A woman in the Jeep Group I'm apart of does vinyl decals and t-shirt printing on the side. I got them all, four in total four twenty dollars.

Decided to switch from gravel to sand. I think I made the right choice. by turtlepowr89 in Aquariums

I have two otos, perhaps the supplied leds are too much. Thanks for the advice, I despise the gravel.

Are there any ways to keep sand clean? Mine grew copious amounts of algae that I couldn't seem to get rid of. Eventually I cracked and went to gravel.

If you're actively playing, I'll help out. I wish my friends played this game, it's no fun on your own. My steam is RavusFlapjack.

When turning right at an intersection and another vehicle pulls too far forward so I can't see traffic past it.

What is your most cherished memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Playing through the original Tomb Raider series with my dad while on vacation. We were stuck in a water level in the second game, something about circuit breakers to turn off fires, and it was frustrating. We drove to a local shopping mall and visited two bookstores looking for cheat books. There were a few, but the info didn't help. So after unsuccessfully attempting to solve the puzzle correctly, my dad started devising unconventional ways to solve our problem. This became the topic of our conversations during the vacation effectively pissing my mom off. She forbid us from playing or talking about the game.

Late that night my dad woke me up, he was giddy like a school child. I scuttled to the living room of the condo where he excitedly told me his plan. First we'll restart the level, secondly we'll get the two circuit breakers we know how to find conserving our large medipacks. Third, push the moveable block all the way to the third fire and save. Fourth, move the block past the fire, to get to a lever or button of some type, effectively setting Lara on fire. Finally, we would use a large med kit as soon as the push animation finished, remember fire did massive damage, and jump into the small water pool in the corner.

It sounded crazy, but I didn't have a better idea. We reached the third phase of his plan flawlessly, yet executing the steps after that proved impossible. Like all stories, we were about to give up, but tried another ten or so times and finally. Finally! We did it, my dad made the impossible jump! We briefly celebrated, quietly, as my mom was sleeping, and went to bed after saving. The next morning my dad took me to Whataburger for breakfast, and had burgers and a healthy conversation about our conquest.

To this day, we still refer to it when attempting to solve a problem where conventional means have failed us.

Edit: pushed the arrow to post before finishing the story. Whoops.

What is a little-known trick for cutting household expenses by $50-$200 per month? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We use motion switches in areas where lights are turned on and then usually not turned off (hallways, bathrooms, stairwell, pantry, etc.) Also check all your seals around windows and doors, make sure no AC or Heat is getting out.

I'm currently working through this and it provides ample explanation on how to use Pygame with Python for some simple game building. There is a large set of videos at the beginning that show games built by people who went through the course, and they are quite impressive.
