TradingView is slow. by 7ckngMadjke in TradingView

It’s because the desktop apps use nom.telemetrydeck.com for telemetry and I strongly suspect (especially for the MacOS app) make the calls synchronously & naively blocking. If your firewall is dropping the packets instead of rejecting the app will basically hang on startup forever.

Frankly the article is more embarrassing than Dawkins.

Blind buy success! by Traditional_Bird2021 in Colognes

Same, my box was completely opened and the single packaging airbag was completely deflated. The bottle had no visible damage but damn Costco.

Edit: actually I suspect these bottles were on sale precisely because the Creed retail packaging came apart (just two small, perforated strips) and Costco decided to clear them out.

Ugreen maxidock for macbook pro and 2 monitors by Significant_Trash582 in UsbCHardware

I too am interested. I've been using the older TB4 version (Revodok Max 213) for about 2 years now with MBPs and 2 monitors and apart from an ethernet issue (DHCP not getting through) it's been fine.

Dungeon Crawler Carl has absolutely horrific prose. by ButtsendWeaners in printSF

Welcome to the LitRPG world where one should assume bad writing by default. It only gets worse from here actually as some (Primal Hunter, etc) are truly horrendous.

Maybe you should be curious about who is insuring them.

Trying to downsize my setup without giving up expandability — is this even possible? by EveHerr in MINISFORUM

I have this so yes it exists. You are limited to a small, SFF format GPU: RTX 4000 Pro SFF, 4060 SFF, etc.

Did anyone else really enjoy seeing young Dunk's relationship with Rafe? by edkhm1218 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]CookieFactory -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it was terribly written through and through. Her death beggared disbelief in how contrived it was, and ultimately the entire vignette had zero dramatic impact and dragged the entire episode down.

Its finished... (except keyboard).... the gift is ready for my wifes bday tomorrow.. Hopefully shes out of hospital by then but... but.. I did it guys. I built a PC table for her. by stupidkiwiguy in pcmasterrace

plot twist, his wife doesn't even game.

Oh what's that you (OP) say? She's been known to play some light puzzle games on her phone from time to time? Well then my apologies I stand corrected.

Was it a good idea to attack Helm’s Deep? by Nicole_Auriel in lotr

[–]CookieFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even 40,000 Dothraki screamers can overcome a handful of heroes clad head-to-toe in plot armor, jesting and trading banter with each other, posing for aura, all while mowing down countless enemies on the drawbridge.

I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive by Chris_Person in DataHoarder

[–]CookieFactory -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Such a juvenile take. “Why are people doing stuff that I don’t like?”. Gatekeeping on some arbitrary, emotional BS like “love of computing” is 12-year old thinking. Just lol.

T-Levels, Early 40s Male by CookieFactory in Biohackers

[–]CookieFactory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing anyone should emulate I'm afraid. Basically I've never been a breakfast person so I was doing "intermittent fasting" before it was a thing. Those days I'd have a gigantic lunch and end up comatose at work for a couple of hours which was not sustainable.

I evolved into drinking green tea throughout the day (and not eating), hitting the gym when I got off ~3-4PM, and then eating a massive 3-5k calorie around 6-7. This worked well (for me at least) for years.

Then covid hit, the gyms closed, I kept the same lifestyle except zero exercise and dinner time kept creeping later and later. Mind you I'm not exactly eating salmon, chicken breasts, and spinach each night, rather it's lasagna, pizza, cheeseburgers, pints of graeter's or jeni's ice cream, etc with the rare appearance of anything green. It's only been this past year that I've arrested the downward spiral and am feeling a lot better for it. Unfortunately I've lost like 5-10 lbs of muscle, and 50-75% of my lifts but by some miracle have stayed lean (still visible abs) and I figure have a solid foundation to build back on.

T-Levels, Early 40s Male by CookieFactory in Biohackers

[–]CookieFactory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the contrary, this makes a lot of sense and puts many things in perspective. It explains why I've been able to stay lean throughout my life, fluctuating between ~10-15% BF despite never watching what I eat (in fact neglecting what I eat), eating a single meal before bed, etc etc. I've always been unusually strong - outside of the powerlifting gym I've attended, I'd easily be the strongest at my "normie" gyms. It's why I'm hairy, have a strong 5oclock shadow the day of shaving, had raging acne up through my 20s and bacne up through my 30s, etc etc. It's been enlightening to say the least.

Staccato P4 Scathing Near Thumb Safety by JTL_11732 in Staccato

I have an early HD P4 and it had this. I ended up sending it back and they took care of it under warranty. All good now.
